HELP-KU PlanstoBoost Loan Fund
Bv Bob Curtright
Gifts to the Lawrence Higher Education Loan Program (HELP-KU) in excess of $8,300 have been received to date with a record total expected by March 15, Todd Seymour, associate secretary of the Endowment Association said last night.
ESTABLISHED in 1961 by local Lawrence businessmen, HELP-KU was originally intended to be a student loan fund for Lawrence students attending KU. Since then, the program has been expanded to include all of Douglas County, Seymour said. "If there is still money in the fund when the local students have used as much as they need, then we loan it to other students to keep it from laying idle," he added.
Seymour and Odd Williams, the 1965 HELP-KU chairman, have set a goal of $20,000 for this year's drive—significantly higher than previous yearly totals, which ranged from $15,000 to $18,000.
Williams said, "Short-term loans, which must come entirely from individual gifts, are the mainstay of the entire student aid program. Generous contributions from the citizens of Douglas County over the past four years have provided significant aid for many worthy local students."

Seymour explained that the terms of the loan were very similar to other student loan facilities—a short-term loan is at 4 per cent.
Frederick E. Samson Jr., professor of comparative biochemistry and physiology and Campus Division chairman of HELP-KU, said, "It is a matter of self-interest for us, as faculty and staff at the University to use all our resources to help the best qualified students." He explained that the program was especially important now because the University is experiencing a rapid growth in enrollment with an increase in need of immediate loan resources.

SEYMOUR pointed out that the Lawrence HELP-KU fund was the first of its kind and that it has encouraged groups in other localities to establish similar funds. He is optimistic about the future of the program for response from alumni and friends of the University has surpassed his expectations.
"The $8,300 received so far represents advance gifts," Seymour explained. "The Campus drive will begin next week along with the professional group, but the business division effort began yesterday," he added. At the present time, the fund is completely loaned out, Seymour said.
Since its beginning in 1961, HELP-KU has aided 705 students by loaning them $135.148.20.

Nelick described Kipling's love of England and his sense of the importance of the British Empire as two of the strong forces that led him to write of the men of England. "The Empire was a tangible thing to him." Nelick said, "not an ideal, but a tangible thing."

Kipling Explained During SUA Poetry Hour
KIPLING WAS famed for his barrack-room ballads, such as "Gunga Din." Nelick said that Kipling felt, as others did, that no one understood the provincial soldier, or the humiliating, lonely life that the soldier led.
Nelick read a few selections from Kipling's book, "Barrack Room Ballads." In a resonant voice, Nelick read "The Irish Guards," written in 1918. The rolling verses rang, "After 170 years, we're fighting for France again..."
Kipling realized the grave political faults in the policies of expansionism. Nelick said, and his love of the extent of the Empire began to change to a love of the soil. In "The Settler." written in 1903, Kipling extolled the beauty and finality of the land as compared to the lives and ideals of men.
BEFORE READING the poem "Sussex," Nelk explained to the predominantly-student audience that Sussex was to Kipling the best of England, and "the best of life to him." The poem describes the beauties of the sea, the forests, and the land near the sea. One stanza included the words, "sheep bells and ship bells ... each to his choice to choose a land." One poem that particularly appealed to the students, seated or chairs and on the floor about the Music Room. was a ballad entitled "The Mary Gloster". It is the soliloquy of an old, dying sailor who has built up a fortune through hard toil and careful savings. As the sailor is dying, he tells again the story of his life, of the early days, and of his love for his deceased wife. His son given to books and art after an education was given him by his father's wealth, will inherit his father's fortune. Deeming his son as a "liar" and an unworthy person, he regrets that he gave his son so much. In his final words, he asks to be buried at sea with his wife. The strong words of the dying sailor brought thoughtful looks from many of the students.
AS A RETREAT from his position, Kipling's "one attack on progress" was "The Gods of the Copybook Headings", Nelick said. In "The White Man's Burden", another of Rudyard Kipling's best-known poems, Kipling once more explored the

"I think a trip to a great recreation center such as New York is more enjoyable when a student is with people he knows."
