I agree that a significant - at least $500 - donation to the scholarship that carries his name is appropriate.  I, too, was at the State of the Division panel at AEJMC and was inspired by Dr. Barrow's account of his efforts for AEJMC and MAC.  I hope that AEJMC will at least match whatever our division gives, since his efforts ultimately worked for the betterment of all.  He also made it clear that mass communication education at the doctoral level still needs to be opened up to a wider audience.

Dr. Lee mentioned during MAC's state of the division panel last summer that he would like for us to reclaim a leadership role in the scholarship selection process and funding.  It was a humbling experience to hear MAC's history first-hand, as well as his aspirations for the division.  I would like to see MAC make a more significant contribution to the scholarship fund, and to secure a matching contribution from AEJMC given his legacy and pivotal leadership for both.  Consider this virtual discussion following the motion before it is put to a vote.

I move that we use MAC funds to send flowers or a donation of up to $100
to a charity of the Barrow's family choosing in honor of Dr. Lionel
Barrow, Jr. 

Note:  The 9/30/2008 balance in the MAC treasury was $5387.22

Subject: Passing of a Journalism Trailblazer

MAC members,

It is with great sorrow that I share the news of the passing of one of
the giants in journalism education, Dr. Lionel Barrow, Jr.  Many of you
may already know of this sad news.  I just posted a tribute with some of
my personal thoughts on my blog this morning.

Also, attached is a statement forwarded from Dean Jannette Dates at
Howard University.
