10 University Daily Kansan Campus/Area Friday, Jan. 24, 1986 Elite school offers novel discounts United Press International NEW YORK — High school students who graduate in the top 10 of their class are eligible for discounts worth thousands of dollars on a $80,000 bachelor's degree in a novel program at Bard College, the liberal arts school's president said yesterday. The program is for bright high school seniors who can afford only a public college education in their home states but yearn for the turf of a small, private and elite liberal arts college. Bard College President Leon Botstein said. "While many of the nation's best students may prefer to attend a first-rate private liberal arts college, they feel it is financially out of reach and opt "Our program allows them to choose such an institution by eliminating the growing differential in training." for attending their local public university," Bontein said. Bard, which turns down four-fifths of its applicants, is about 100 miles from New York City in Annandale-on-Hudson. The average yearly tuition, fees and room and board at public institutions is $3,621, around $11,000 lower than the Bard bill. Applications must be made to Bard by March 15. The school will notify those accepted for the unprecedented program within two weeks of the application. To apply, students must submit documentation that they are in a pre-college course, will graduate in the top 10 of their class and write an essay. The school enrolls 800 on a storybook campus, including 202 freshmen annually. Freshmen admitted under the new program will join the group already accepted for entry in September. The Bard plan works this way: Up to 150,000 high school seniors — 10 from each of an estimated 15,000 high schools — may be eligible to apply for the program. At least 100 students can be accepted without breaking the school's bank because of a recent $23 million fund drive, a spokesman said. A Michigan high school senior in the top ten of his class plans to attend the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, where the tuition is $5.192. Rebels declare S. Yemen battle victory United Press International ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — Marxist rebels declared victory in the battle for control of South Yemen yesterday as British, French and Soviet vessels ferried about 2,000 foreigners from the country torn by 10 days of civil war. The rebels said poorly armed forces loyal to President Ali Nassar Mohammed apparently were outgunned by the tanks and artillery of former President Abdul Fattah Ismail and were in retreat. Ismail launched the coup Jan. 13. During a lull in the fighting, about 2,000 foreigners — half of them Soviets — poured from hiding in the Soviet and French embassies and made their way to ships waiting to take them to Djibouti, an east African nation 150 miles from South Yemen across the Gulf of Aden. Broadcasting on a frequency normally used by South Yemen's state-run Aden Radio, the rebels denounce ed Mohammed for bringing tragedies and sorrows to the strategic country, the Arab world's only avowed Marxist state. The broadcast said the rebels were in full control of the situation in the country and contended they had achieved a clear victory over Mohammed's forces. --come as you are . . . hungry 2120 WEST NINTH Sunday, Jan. 26th Doors open 11:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Holidome Fashion Show-1:00 p.m. & 3:00 p.m. The 96 HUM FM Bridal Preview will help you make all the preparations for that special event in one day. . .
