WILLIAM AND MARY LIBRARY RECEIVES GRANT

WILLIAMSBURG - The U.S. Department of Education has awarded a $42,116 grant to the Earl Gregg Swem Library of the College of William and Mary to catalog the college's manuscript collections.

The grant will allow the library to include all of the 1,000 manuscript collections in the library's on-line public access catalog. Library patrons will be able to call up descriptions of manuscript collections as easily as they do now for information about books, periodicals and government documents.

The manuscript collection descriptions will be included in the college's international bibliographic database, giving scholars throughout the country and abroad electronic access to the collections.

Swem library holdings such as the papers of Thomas Jefferson, John Marshall, James Monroe and John Tyler will be in the conversion project.

2 JCC MEN GET JAIL IN COCAINE CONVICTION

WILLIAMSBURG - Two James City County men have been each sentenced to 15 years for distribution of cocaine.

Mark Hopkins, 24, and Robert Hopkins, 23, both of the 100 block of Forest Glen Drive, were sentenced Tuesday in Circuit Court after being convicted in September of drug distribution witnessed during a police sting. The men were arrested in July during the sting that focused on cocaine distribution in Grove, Forest Glen and Burton Woods apartments.

Seven years of each man's sentence were suspended.

BETHEL CHEERLEADERS GET TO GO ON TRIP

HAMPTON - The 14 Bethel High cheerleaders learned Wednesday that they will not be left out in the cold when they compete in a national cheering competition next month in Texas: they will actually be allowed to wear their cheering outfits while cheering.

After seven weeks of uncertainty that left the teen-agers in the middle of an administrative squabble over an interpretation of out-of-state field trip guidelines, the varsity cheerleaders were told Wednesday that they can wear their uniforms and represent their school at a national competition next month in Dallas.

The Hampton School Board voted to waive a rule that required 120 days notice for out-of-state field trips and approved the cheering team's trip to Dallas. Keeping in character, the girls greeted the decision with a cheer: a standing ovation for the board.

"I'm happy now that it's finally over," said team co-captain Delcenia Tunstall. "It was like a roller coaster going on and we were in the middle of it."
