Professor gets grant to research Hindus

William P Harman, assistant professor of philosophy and religion at DePauw University, has received a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to do research and write a book about gods and goddesses of the Hindu religion. The grant, a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellow for College Teachers for 1986-87, carries a possible stipend ceiling of $27,500. Harman applied for the grant on June 1, 1985. ‘‘BASICALLY WHAT THE grant will allow me to do is write a book that focuses on the idea of gods and goddesses and their marriages and what that means to the believers of Hinduism,” Harman said. ‘‘One of the ways to understand (Hinduism) is to see it as a family. We do that in the Christian tradition, too. But the Hindus go much further, with dieties being sons and daughters and in-laws,” he explained. These gods-as-relatives are benevolent,

NPHS students aid Clothe-a-Child effort

The National Honor Society of North Putnam High School worked to make some child’s Christmas a little merrier as participants in the collections of funds for Clothe-a-Child. CLOTHE-A-CHILD IS a program operated by the Putnam County Mental Health Association. In its third year of operation, Clothe-a-Child accepts donations of funds to provide warm, new clothing for needy children. The maximum spent is SIOO per child. Children are referred to the Clothe-a-Child program by Putnam County Head Start, Putnam County Comprehensive Services Inc. (pre-schoolers), Putnam County Health Services Clinic and local schools.

Targeted for the special D Day program will be major CARE highways, including I--70, U.S. 40, U.S. 231 and U.S. 36 and “the back roads” of Putnam County, Sgt. Strader explained. According to Strader, Morgan County and Hendricks Coundy troopers will also participate in the program. During the National Drunk and Drugged

gracious additions to families who serve as “rescuers” during times of crisis or emergency, Harman said “They (Hindus) take this kinship relationship very seriously. It sounds weird to us, but it works very nicely for them," Harman said. HARMAN S RESEARCH IS based on findings in the city of Maturai in southern India, where he had lived for more than two years. “What’s unique (about this project) is that most who have studied Hinduism have studied it from the classical point of view, but I’m studying the language spoken today-Tamil,” Harman said. “Few people have dealt with the Tamil language. It’s a classical language dating from the first century B.C. But most who have studied Hinduism have studied Sanskrit. We’re reaching a point in Hindu studies where it’s (studying Hinduism through the Tamil language) been a vastly neglected field,” Harman said.

Last year, Clothe-a-Child provided wearing apparel for approximately 35 children. Many of the clothing items are purchased locally with merchants providing a discount. AT NORTH PUTNAM, NHS President Cheryl Mcßride and Tim Statzer organized a three-day gum sale that netted S6O for the Clothe-a-Child program. The group plans another fundraiser next year to raise S2OO. In addition to the Clothe-a-Child program, North Putnam NHS students participate in providing food items to help supplement the Putnam County Emergency Food Pantry.
