National prizemoney grows for personal library contest
The Amy Loveman National Award of $1,000 will be augmented this year by two $200 runner-up prizes. Judged on the basis of a two-page essay plus bibliography, this award goes to the university student with the best personal library.
Gail Weber, McCune senior, is KU's entrant in this contest sponsored by the Book-of-the-Month Club, Saturday Review, and the Women's National Book Association.
MISS WEBER QUALIFIED to enter this national book challenge by winning the KU Taylor Book Award of $100. The collections entered in this contest had from 35 to 60 books, excluding all texts, that were directed toward an academic area.
Miss Weber's collection is directed to modern Chinese history, an area of study that she plans to pursue further. She has purchased about 20 more books for her collection since the KU contest. She remarked that the KU prize money really helped her enlarge her collection.

The perplexed insurance company turned to Lloyds which finally decided that "Loss of virginity is a moral hazard which our underwriters would not be prepared to accept as a risk," said Lloyds.
