D. c. Colleges
Fuced With Cuts
In Student Looms

District colleges and univer-
stiles are among hundreds
across the country faced with
curtailing their federally sup
ported student loan program
this year because requests have
exceeded the funds available.
Loan requests exceeded the
500 million available in Federal
aid this year for the first time.
The United States Office of
Education administers the
student loan program under
the National Defense Education
Act.
Requests from 1913 parti-
cipating colleges and univer-
stiles totaled 1922 million. In
allocating the 500 million, the
Office Of Education applied a
formula based on college en-
rollments in the States.
AS a result. of the $l.465, 500
in requests submitted from the
District, colleges and univer-
stiles were allotted $815,878.
This means each participating
college here would get about
IS per cent of its request.

Half-torgotten among the
worlds conflicts, the Boer
War furnishes the stage for
q stirring new novel that ex-
plains in great part the
monolithic attitude Of white
South Africa.
In 1899, when the Boer
War began, world opinion
was with the descendants Of
the Dutch pioneers and
against the British. This
was the peak of Britain's
colonial expansion.
The Beers had been driven
on their great trek from the
Cape Colony to the Trans
vaal in 1885 by the aboli-
ton of slavery and in 1912
lost q war to the British in
Natal. The same fear ami
mated the Beers in the last
century that engulfS them
now-that they will be swal-
lowed up by the dark
skinned races. Isolated from
the world, the Afrikaner has
re m aimed unchanged. an
18th century man in the lat
