SBC launches fund for Wayne State journalism students

Saturday\'s annual Helen Thomas Spirit of Diversity Awards reception at Wayne State University will feature a special award from SBC Communications Inc. The San Antonio, Texas telecom giant, Michigan\'s largest phone company, will make a $5,000 gift to WSU\'s Journalism Institute for Minorities. The event runs from 6 to 9 pm. at the Detroit Institute of Arts. The gift establishes the \"Going Beyond the Call\" fund to fill a financial void that exists for JIM students who require additional funding for critical necessities that aren\'t covered by their scholarships, which only pay tuition.
