Scholarship, Loan Deadline Nears
Thanksgiving vacation offers more than an opportunity to indulge in relaxation and fun—it is also a good time to secure family financial information to meet the Dec. 1 deadline for KU scholarship and loan applications.
Robert A. Billings, director of Aids and Awards, said yesterday that both types of applications would have to be returned to his office by the Dec. 1 deadline because of the limited time for selecting recipients before second semester.
TWO TYPES of scholarships are available for the spring semester—University general cash awards and scholarship hall awards. Both applications are made on the same form by designating the specific scholarship desired.
Applications for general scholarships and National Defense Student Loans are available in the office of Aids and Awards, 222 Strong.
"A student need only complete the General Scholarship Application form, which is paid from a variety of funds," Billings said. "There are a limited number of cash stipends and some scholarship hall places available."
Billings said that scholarships awarded by individual schools within the University are not generally available in the spring, except by invitation.
APPLICATIONS for general cash scholarships are considered by a committee and ranked on a preferential basis according to need and academic record.
A men's and a women's scholarship hall committee will review applications for the scholarship hall awards. Again, this is done on a preferential basis.
Students who desire a loan will need to fill out a National Defense Education Act form. Selection of recipients of the loan is determined by need and academic record.
A preference is given, however, to persons entering certain fields of study. The preferred fields are ele-

Under the National Defense Education Act, a student may borrow up to $1,000 a year.
"We want anyone who needs financial help." Billings said. "We will tailor our resources to their needs."

What is a Jerry Toombs? That's a hard question to answer, especially in a newspaper read by tender young minds. To begin with, it could be said that a Jerry Toombs is a black-haired bartender, but generally more descriptive terms are used. Actually it would be easier to describe what he isn't. He isn't Paul Newman, nor, despite common rumors, is he Cardinal Newman. In fact, no one knows what he is. The Pit Crew plans to take him to Malott Hall for chemical analysis. Old Foxy, as his dates affectionately call him, is a third semester sophomore in the College, lives in Ellsworth, and is from Kansas City. Most of the time he can be found at The Pit or, after midnight, at the Rathskeller. During the day (especially when he has classes) Jerry is asleep in his room. His favorite expression is "Are you using your apartment tomorrow night?"

1. You can congratulate me.
Congratulations.
2. I'm getting married during Christmas.
I thought you were a confirmed bachelor.
3. You thought that and I thought that. But it turns out Jane didn't think it.
You never can tell what girls think.
What are you going to do?
5. Here I am, unseasoned in the ways of the world, untried in the fields of commerce, second string on the soccer team — and already faced with grave responsibilities.
4. It used to be they would give you a hint when they had plans.
Not any more. Now it's cool, cool, cool.
6. I'm going to get a Living Insurance policy from Equitable. It's really great the way it protects your wife and kids. And it builds up a cash value you can use instead for guaranteed retirement income.
You're lucky to get a girl like Jane.
