TUSCALOOSA, Ala.--The Hearst Foundation has awarded a $35,000 grant to 
Stillman College for an endowed scholarship fund.  The award is part of the 
Foundation's plan to give the school $100,000 over a three-year period, it 
was announced by Stillman president Cordell Wynn.  The donation was made 
through the United Negro College Fund Campaign 2000.  Stillman also 
received a donation of $46,000 from the Lettie Pate Whitehead Foundation of 
Atlanta, Ga., as part of an annual commitment to help disadvantaged female 
students at Stillman. 
 
MEMPHIS, Tenn.--Professor Milton P. Brown of Rhodes College has written a 
new book, "Biblical Prophets, Seers, and the New Apocalypticism," which 
will be published by the Edwin Mellen Press. The book is one of many 
written about "the last days" but provides an alternative approach to the 
subject, using modern scholarship and encouraging readers to find for 
themselves "the word of truth" in such difficult and misunderstood books as 
Daniel and the Revelation to John.
