A study of juvenile delinquency in Japan and an investigation of the behavior of the brown howler monkey are among the 21 undergraduate academic projects named yesterday as the first winners of the $1500 Hoopes prize.

The award, funded by a million-dollar bequest from the estate of Thomas T Hoopes '19, also grants $500 to each winner's faculty supervisor. Under the terms of the bequest, each year's prize-winners will receive at least $1000 each for general excellence in scholarly work. All but three awards this year went to senior theses.

A nine-member Faculty committee, whose members are also reimbursed from the bequest, selected the winners (A complete list follows.)

The results of another unusual Harvard honor were announced yesterday--the Phi Beta Kappa teaching prize Lisa Anderson, assistant professor of Government and of Social Studies, and Thomas Parker, assistant professor of Mathematics, were this year's winners.

The teachers were selected by a committee of faculty members and past winners, who drew them from a slate submitted by undergraduates in the prestigious honor society.

Anderson teaches an undergraduate-level course and a graduate seminar in politics in the Middle East and North Africa Parker teachers two undergraduate courses on differential and integral calculus and an upper-level course on elliptical theory.

The winners of the Hoopes Prize, along with their project and faculty supervisor are.
