Young Scholars Vie For Awards
Kansas high school seniors will be competing for KU Watkins and Summerfield scholarships during a three-day testing session to be held Dec. 5, 6 and 7. Approximately 120 high school seniors will be participating.
This year a new procedure is being initiated in selected the finalists for KU's Summerfield and Watkins scholarships. The University is using the National Merit Semi-Finalist list as its slate of finalists.
Previously high school seniors were nominated for the Watkins and Summerfield scholarship testing by their high school principals and counselors. These applicants were then tested and the scholarship finalists were chosen from this group.
However, with the increased
number of Kansas high school seniors applying for these scholarships, it was necessary to issue a quicker method of handling, according to KU's Aids and Awards department.
Those participating students who are not selected as Watkins or Summerfield scholars, will be designated University of Kansas Honor Scholars to the extent that the scholarship funds and the applicants' qualifications permit.
A buffet dinner will be held on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. in the Big Eight and Jayhawk rooms of the Kansas Union for the program participants.
Scholarship testing will begin at 8 a.m. on Monday morning. The tests which are issued under KU's Guidance Bureau will be administered in the Big Eight room of the Kansas Union.
S. Claus Arrives Early
Startled observers who see an Air Force helicopter landing on Templin Hall's tennis court Sunday afternoon may want to pinch themselves to see if they are dreaming. But they won't be.
Plans call for Santa Claus to arrive by helicopter at 2.30 Sunday afternoon for Templin's annual Christmas party for underprivileged children. Tom McCrackin, St. Louis junior and chairman for the event, said arrangements are being made with Forbes Air Force Base in Topeka to provide Santa's transportation.
