Babies born at York Hospital and across the state after Jan. 1 will get a special gift, thanks to a Maine man who is probably not a household name to most people — unless you’re a UMaine hockey fan.

The late Harold Alfond, founder of Dexter Shoes, started a college scholarship fund for every child born in Maine starting next year. Children will receive a $500 savings grant under Alfond’s College Challenge, the first statewide program of its kind in the nation.

“What a great day in Maine,” said Gov. John Baldacci last week in Augusta in announcing the fund — available to every baby regardless of family income, and those who become Maine residents before their first birthday.

Through the program, parents of newborns get $500 grants to start an investment plan called NextGen, which is administered through the Finance Authority of Maine, for their children’s post-high school education. While there’s no requirement to add to the account, parents are encouraged to do so. » Read more after the jump →

The two-year MBA programme of the Directorate of Distance Education, Madurai Kamaraj University, will be available in semester mode from next academic year. While each semester will have five papers, the course duration remains same. A decision to this effect was taken at the Academic Council meeting held here on Thursday. The issue was raised by K. Subburaj, Deputy Registrar and council member, who cited students’ practical difficulties in appearing for all papers at one go every year. A student of this distance education course had to write 11 papers each year and it might be practically difficult for students to prepare/write all of them, he said.

After getting members’ consent, the Vice-Chancellor R. Karpaga Kumaravel approved the resolution stating that MBA non-semester pattern would be changed to semester type. “My representation is that the feedback from students should be considered and the MBA course of distance education stream should be changed to semester system for students’ convenience,” said Mr. Subburaj. » Read more after the jump →
