Do you have a bicycle that is no longer used? The Salvation Army would like to save two bicycles to place in the home of two little girls whose father is blind and can not buy them one. Call VI 3-4188.

In making up next year's student directory, the staff might consider including the student's bank account. This would prove valuable to the coed in considering whether or not a date with a male would be worthwhile.
Our dream of spending our Navy career basking in the Mediterranean sun was blasted when the Sixth Fleet was ordered into battle readiness. Oh well, maybe the sun also shines in Jordan.
If the question ever arises "Where to put the bronze Jayhawk?" we suggest the steam bath in Allen Field House.
It is remarkable how much attention can be given to Cervantes Day when George Washington and Abe Lincoln barely are able to muster their names on the calendar
Thrill for the day: When Army ROTC cadets can fire their M-1's.

If calendars suffered from just being looked at, the dates from now to June 3 would be getting a little ragged.
The fellow who made the inappropriate remark about Ghana at the International Club banquet Wednesday night should ask for work in the State Department. Some of those people can louse things up pretty well at times too.

With the onset of warm weather, the sale of suntan lotion rises as the University coeds begin their presummer tanning. All trivial things like study time and classes are sacrificed for hours on the sun deck.
Tan Time
In some cases, however, several hours of exposure brings other results, and the sale of burn lotions also rises. Red faces are just as common as tan ones.
If you haven't noticed this tanning trend, look for the "bathing beauties" the next time you pass a women's house or dormitory.

(Editor's note: The following letter was received after an unfortunate remark made by an American at the International Club banquet Wednesday night. We agree with Mr. Vosper that an apology is due, and if the perpetrator of the remark sees fit, we will publish an apology as soon as received.)

Apology Due
I hesitate to rewash dirty linen, but I think some kind of public apology is due.
Editor:
The apology ought to come from the young man who perhaps unwittingly but surely publicly and stupidly perpetrated the "joke" linking Ghana and cannibalism as his 100 per cent American contribution to international goodwill at the otherwise excellent Internation Student banquet Wednesday evening.
The people of Ghana perhaps need no apology, for if any people today can be secure in their dignity it is they.
Perhaps the apology should go to the American students and the local community, for unfortunately this young man represented them on the program.
Thereupon he represented them as obtuse and crude in matters of simple human relations as well as complex international relations. And what a podium he chose.
The sad thing is that too many people already are prepared to believe that he represented the normal American attitude, and no amount of apology can really help.
Nonetheless I think an apology is in order, for this was a kind of intellectual vandalism more serious than acts of physical vandalism the University punishes severely.

It's The Same At Harvard; One-Half Of Students Get Aid
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — (IP) — Nearly one half of Harvard's 4,430 undergraduates are receiving financial aid from the College this year through scholarships, loans, and part time employment. The total financial aid budget stands at more than $1,900,000, the dean of admissions and financial aids, said.
In scholarships alone, more than a million dollars has been awarded. Long term loans and student earnings from part time employment, mainly at the university, make up the rest. This is the largest financial aid outlay in Harvard's history.
The totals:
Scholarships—Some. 1230 undergraduates have been awarded scholarships totalling about $1,025,000.
Loans—Long term loans, free of interest until the borrower completes college or graduate school, go to some 550 students for a $225,000 total. Short term emergency loans will amount to $25,000.
Jobs - The student employment office will place some 1,200 students in part time work in the dormitories.
dining halls and offices of the university. They will earn more than $450,000. It is estimated the undergraduates will earn, all told, some $650,000 from the university and community this year.
Scholarships are the main factor in the broadened financial aid program. Harvard is determined that no undergraduate be forced to withdraw solely because he cannot meet the increased costs of education. Tuition is now $1,000 a year.
In both 1955-56 and 1956-57, about the same number of freshmen were aided. But against the 825 upperclassmen who held scholarships last year are some 980 sophomores, junior and seniors with scholarships this year. The average scholarship grant last year was slightly over $720, and is about $830 this year.
Four years ago, tuition stood at $800, and the scholarship budget allowed $633,550 to 1066 students. The year before that, tuition was $600, and 1000 students received $589,-000 in scholarships. Fifteen years ago, with tuition at $400, the scholarship total reached only $266,000.
