Need for Additional Loan Money Cited
Mr. Youngberg said:
Irvin Youngberg, executive secretary of the Kansas University Endowment Assn., says that the need for privately financed student loans has in no way been lessened by the availability of federal assistance under the Defense Education Act.
"KU has had an outstanding student loan program for several years and has received generous allotments from the federal government, which have been matched by one dollar of private donor money for each nine dollars received from the government. Yet loans, particularly the long term ones, must be rationed among the better students."
Used For Lengthy Loans
The 9-1 federal-private money all goes for long term loans. Endowment Assn. loans are both long and short term for emergencies and thus the average loan is smaller.
Mr. Youngberg also said:
"Resources are still insufficient and denials may be made to many
satisfactory students who are fully worthy of an investment in their future."
Loan Totals Reported
In three months, August through,
October, the KU Endowment Assn.
made 650 loans totaling $102,539.
During the same period 249 applications
totaling $170,330 for defense
education act loans were approved.
Mr. Youngberg said the three month total of 889 loans and $272,869 compares with a final figure of $454,000 for the previous 12 months.
Harold G. Regier, director of the teachers appointment bureau and chairman of the defense education loan committee, said that KU's experience shows that students are eager to make a long term investment in their education when the repayment terms are practical.

Sophomores Start Uniting Early
Class President Fred King, Kansas City, Mo., told the Kansan today:
"Our object is not to steal the thunder from the seniors. We will have no class cheering at the game itself. The idea is to start building early for senior class unity in 1962."

Longevity of KU People Brings Financial Boom
Educators and employees from KU apparently are a healthy group and don't die at an early age.
The Rev. Mr, Alan J. Pickering, instructor of religion, told members of the association at a recent meeting that:
Members of the Teachers and Employes Assn., a body organized to get group insurance benefits, have received $12,300 in life insurance dividends.
"These dividends result from the fact that teachers and employees in the association are a healthy group. They aren't dying fast enough to use up all the benefits earned by what the group pays in. So, the insurance company is giving back the extra money."
Members in the association's life insurance group plan voted to share the returns among themselves rather than put it in a reserve fund or back into more insurance. Using these dividends plus $800 those who had bought life insurance as a group will get back 50 per cent from membership fees, of their last year's premiums.

This plastic bubble protects the antenna of a radically new aerial three-dimensional radar defense system.
Sensitive to the inadequacies of conventional radar systems, engineers at Hughes in Fullerton devised a radar antenna whose pointing direction is made sensitive to the frequency of the electromagnetic energy applied to the antenna. This advanced technique allows simultaneous detection of range, bearing and altitude...with a single antenna.
Hughes engineers combined this radar antenna with "vest-pocket sized" data processors to co-ordinate antiaircraft missile firing. These unique data processing systems provide:
2. Mobility—Hughes engineers "ruggedized" and miniaturized the system so that it could be mounted into standard army trucks which could be deployed to meet almost any combat problem—even in rugged terrain.
1. Speed-Complex electronic missile firing data was designed to travel through the system in milliseconds, assuring "up-to-date" pinpoint positioning of hostile aircraft.
3. Reliability - By using digital data transmission techniques, Hughes engineers have greatly reduced any possibility of error.
Result: the most advanced electronic defense system in operation!
Falcon air-to-air guided missiles, shown in an environmental strato chamber are being developed and manufactured by Hughes engineers in Tucson. Arizona.
Reliability of the advanced Hughes systems can be Insured only with the equally advanced test equipment designed by Hughes El Segundo engineers.
CAMPUS INTERVIEWS
Other Hughes projects provide similarly stimulating outlets for creative talents. Current areas of Research and Development include advanced airborne electronics systems, advanced data processing systems, electronic display systems, molecular electronics, space vehicles, nuclear electronics, electroluminescence, ballistic missiles...and many more. Hughes Products, the commercial activity of Hughes, has assignments open for imaginative engineers to perform research in semiconductor materials and electron tubes.
Whatever your field of interest, you'll find Hughes diversity of advanced projects makes Hughes an ideal place for you to grow...both professionally and personally.

'Man Cannot Stop Disaster'
BERKELEY, Calif. (UPI) — A zoology professor at UCLA thinks it is already too late for man to avert disaster—not from bombs, but from overpopulation.
He contends that all life is indissolubly linked to its surroundings and that all forms of life are interdependent.
Raymond B. Cowles, author of "Zulu Journal," recently published by the University of California Press, draws his conclusions from studies of South Africa, where he was raised as the son of missionaries.
"As a naturalist I can come to only one conclusion," he writes, "which is that no rational solution can be achieved in time to avert disaster to both wildlife and man himself."
Cowles points out that men multiply at a geometric rate while food production can only be increased at an arithmetic rate.

Farm Labor Less
WASHINGTON — (UPI) The number of workers on the nation's farms is getting smaller.
A total of 8,600,000 persons were at work on farms in late October. This was 1 per cent less than a year ago and 6 per cent below the average for the same month in the past five years.
The Agriculture Department said the decline has been due to steady improvement in farm practices and machinery. Despite the drop in manpower, farm production has gone steadily higher.
Crave Ice Cream at Pole
CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand — (UPI)— The 17 men who wintered at the American Antarctic Station at the South Pole have had their quarters buried under three feet of snow and ice but it hasn't affected their appetite for ice cream.
Their favorite flavors are strawberry, chocolate and vanilla. Nello Bambini, of Boston, reported by shortwave radio.
