Dean of Students John E. Hocutt
has emphatically denied a recent
rumor that the University of Della
ware has been using a portion of
its general state appropriation to
provide out-of state students with
scholarships.
Although the very people who
are now circulating this rumor
have, at times, urged the Univer-
sity to award grants to students
outside the State, our University
authorities have stoutly maintained
that scholarships from our general
appropriation must be given ex-
clusiyely to Delaware young peo-
ple," Dean Hocutt said.
"Since these funds have been in
sufficient, the University have sup
from it's own endowment income
to furnish additional aid for Della
ware residents the Dean ex-
planned 1T has also put on spe-
cial campaigns, with some success,
to secure funds for scholarships
from private donors to assist spe-
cial hardship cases within the
State which could not be cared for
with the limited State grants avail
able"
In 1854, according to the Della
ware dean, who is directly re-
spOnsible for the distribution of
all scholarships and grants-in-aid
one private organization was en-
couraged to assist twenty Della
ware students, all residents of the
State. to the extent of $1,000.
Last year. four-fifths of the
total scholarship funds available
were given to Delaware young
people," the dean asserted.
1t is true that the University of
Delaware, like all other univer-
sites in this country, offers some
scholarships to students of excep-
tional ability who are not resi-
dents of the State. However, the
funds for these scholarships come
from almuni, industrial organi-
cations, or other private donors
who specify that the awards be
given on a competitive basis to
the best applicants. Although cap
able in-state students win their
share of these awards, there are
instances where good out-of-state
scholars also qualify.
even in these cases we often
benefit the State" Dean Hocutt de-
clared, ''for many out-of-state stu
dents who come to the University
eventually remain to accept posi-
TOMS as teachers or employment
in other occupations requiring
technically trained personnel. In
every respect, the funds available
to us are being used in the best
interests of the State of Delaware"

motorists. Quite a change from yesterday,
when he himself was stealing glances at the
people in Cadillacs
And SO it goes on that first wonderful ride

comes the greatest thrill of all-the wild and

matching of gasoline and mileage; and the
constant proof that the dream he dreamed is
IN almost everybody's heart.
Yes, when man steps into his first Cadillac,
he takes one of the great steps of his life.
And it's much, much easier step to take

is remarkably low. And once you own it
well, many contend that it is as economical.

When man takes possession of his first
Cadillac, wonderful things happen to him.
First of all, of course, there is the great
lift he gets from the car itself. When he
settles down behind the wheel, turns the
ignition key and starts down the road for home

Weight and size and strength are all about
him. There's new sense Of mastery over the

the brakes-the easy feel of the wheel
everything gives him feeling of confidence he
never knew in motor car before.
