"Education has meant a chance to bring out the potentials, the intrinsic talents that I have. A chance to bring them out, see them, and develop them so that they could be helpful." - Mr. Clyde Jupiter, Nuclear Physicist. From an interview with Mr. Jupiter: "I guess my brother and I were the first people in our family who went to college. Even though our parents only went as far as grade school, they instilled in us the opportunities of an education. "I had all kinds of jobs. I worked in a dry goods store as all-round clerk, janitor, errand boy. I worked night shifts at the A&P warehouse unloading freight cars. "When I left high school, I wanted to go to college but I didn't have any money. I was on the track team in high school and was able to get a scholarship to a UNCF school. But I wasn't really that hot on sports. And when I came to enroll, I found out they were giving scholarships to the freshmen who scored highest in each of the major fields. Since I enjoyed my physics class very much in high school, I chose physics. Mr. Jupiter is now Manager of the Radiation and Environmental Sciences Department at the EG&G facility in Las Vegas. He heads a team of scientists who do aerial surveys over the nuclear power plants and other nuclear facilities in this country. The service he renders helps protect us and our environment from excessive radiation. The United Negro College Fund gave Clyde Jupiter the opportunity to make a significant contribution to America's business community and to society. Your company contribution can help us give others that same opportunity. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
