ADMISSION PROBLEMS
Short on Money?
Colleges Can Help

And yet it is by no means a
hopeless one.
For the able. energetic stu
dent can still go wherever he
wants without worrying excess
sively about his financial
situation.
It's all a question of finding
out enough information.
The Ivy League schools
won't come looking for you"
one Mckinley senior says.
only the rich people go to
them"
This is a common miScon-
ception-one which can only be
corrected by actual contact
with the Ivy League schools
themselves.
Take Harvard. Only rich
students? Hardly.
About one-quarter of our
undergraduate body are on
scholarships" says John U.
Monro. director of Harvard's
financial aid Office. That's
about 1000 students.

Lends Money

And another 1000 help pay
their way by getting part-time
jobs through the Harvard en-
ployment Office.
Like most private universe
ties. Harvard provides still an
other source of financial as
sistance for needy students. 1t
will lend money-up to $500 a
year-to students iUithout in
terest until they have COM
pleted their education. And
even then. the interest rate is
a very modest one.
Such facts, unfortunately,
are not well known.
Take Dan Rosenblum, a
senior at Woodrow Wilson. Il
didn't know anything about
Harvard or these programs they
have until 1 wrote to them
and received a catalogue" he
explains. Its hard to find out
such information about a par
ticular college without writing
personally"

Moons general session was a
recommendation on a study Of

Another item on the after
noon program was the an
nouncement Of newly accredited
white high schools in the South,
those from which accredita-
ton has been removed. and the
names Of Southern colored
schools added to and removed
from the approved list.
Standards Administered
The association devises and
administers ndards for
accreditation of secon dary
schools. colleges and UNIVERSE
ties. Schools apply for accredi-
tation and the association
grants it when the schools
meet the standards. II also
drops schools when they fail TO
meet standards after they're
once on the accredited list.

Federal Judge Alexander
Holtzoff threw out an anti
trust suit brought by the Orbo

gally have prevented the show
ing of films in the Villa The

end of premiere showings in
downtown Washington theaters
The suit had sought an in
junction to stop this practice
Of delaying the Showings OF
the pictures In the Villa The
ater and asked treble damages
in the sum Of $660,000.
In his ruling. Judge Holtzoh
upheld the right Of the theater
concerns not to provide pic
lures to be shown until 81 days
after the first showings in large
downtown Washington thea
ters. holding that the restraints
complained Of are valid.
Judge Holtzof further held
that the defendants had a right

Jenkins, arrested a short time
after the shooting in the climax
of a hectic five-block chase through
the milling throngs Of carnival re-

him on the crowded street.
In asking for the lunacy hear

family and added that the shooting
was committed in "such a bizarre
