Tax return: Summer faculty research fellowship

I got the summer falculty research fellowship in 2005 and this income is place in Box 3 of form 1099-misc. The American society for engineering education (payer)gave me a letter about the taxability of this income. According to this letter, this income is not subject to self-employment taxes. My question is which schedule should I used to deduct the expense, schedule A or schedule C? Can I use schedule C if I don't want to fill schedule SE? ( I moved to another town and rent an apartment during last summer) Please give me some advice. Thank you for any inputs.
