Wind Prompts Grant Hall 'Face Lifting9 The old building with the plaque reading "In Commemo ration of University Soldiers Who Fought in the Spanish-American War" is not "done for" yet. Grant Memorial hall "had it" in the recent wind storm, but it will soon be in shape again. Charles F. Fowler, director of the Division of Buildings and Grounds, said Friday that the front wall of the building was pushed over seven or eight inches by the wind. There is some dan ger, he said, that the wall might go all the way if it is not re paired. Fowler was not sure of the extent of damage to the building in terms of money, but he said that the greatest expense in re pairing it would be putting up the scaffold a job which is al ready started. The wall was badly deteriorated anyway he declared, and had not been tied in properly with the gable and roof. Some of the stone ornaments on the west end of the building are to be removed also, accord ing to Fowler. This, he said is to minimize any wind damage in the future. The only other dam age done to the building by Tuesday's storm was the loosen ing of some of the slate shingles. These are being replaced.

His talk, the report of the secretary-general, will be heard Friday, March 17, at 3:30 p. m. Following is Dr. Gustavson's letter- ( Cout-lr.y ol n Uncoin Journal Dr. R. G. GiiKlavton The student body at the University of Nebraska is to be complimented for having taken steps to hold on to the University campus March 17-24 a model United Na tions general assembly which will provide opportunity for careful consideration of a number of critical world problems. I feel sure that this worthy project will re ceive the support of the University faculty. One way to find a solution to world problems is for representatives of organized groups to come together to study these matters from many points of view. As a result of such study should come recommendations and programs.of action. The nations of the world are coming to recognize that they are now a part of the world community. Learn ing to live together in understanding aid in peace presents many of the problems which will no doubt receive the attention of the conference. Perhaps the students at the University of Nebraska will be able to suggest the solu tion to some of these critical problems that must be solved if world peace is to be achieved. As students you have great responsibilities. The leaders of tomorrow will be chosen from your group. R. G. Gustavson. The applications must be re turned by noon, Saturday, April 1, to Dean T. J. Thompson's office. Of the awards to be given, 300 will . be $100 Regents scholar ships. These will go to sopho mores, juniors, and seniors who display high scholarship. An av erage grade of seven or above is usually necessary before an ap plicant is considered. Awards Committee The scholarships will be ad ministered by the scholarship awards committee. Members of the committee are D. J. Brown, Kady Faulkner. Luvicv Hill. R. L. Ireland, Marjorie Johnston, G. W. Rosenlof, T. J. Thompson, Otis Wade, and C. C. Wiggans. They are all faculty members at the University. The awards will be announced by Aug. 1. Commenting on this. Dean Thompson said: "Most of! the awards will be announced before school ends this spring. However, some of the scholar ship funds have not been turned in as yet, so the exact amount available cannot be determined until summer." In addition to making high grades, a student must take the general comprehensive examina tion which will be given Satur day, April 15. between 8:30 and 12 noon. "We sincerely urge all students who believe that they have the required grade average to apply for a scholarship. Last year many of the awards went unclaimed because the applicants did not satisfy the requirements," said Thompson. The number of this year's scholarships will be lower than last year's. The Johnson schol arships, which last year gave aid to 27 University students, will not be given in 1950 because of insufficient income on the origi nal Johnson grants. Acceptable Record All applicants must have an acceptable student record at the University, and must be able to explain hours other than passing. Other things being equal, senior or senior-to-be applicants will be given preference over juniors and sophomores. The Regents awards will be divided among the three classes, however. Generally speaking, students are ineligible lor awards until at least 24 hours of credit have been earned at the University. They must carry twelve hours or more during the term for which the awara is made. Many of the scholarships have as an additional requirement "worthy of financial assistance," and others specify that the re cipient must be a student of a certain college. According to Thompson, last year, only between 400 and 450 students applied for scholarships to the committee. The Edward Lang True, Mr. and Mrs. Fred W. Putney, Gus Prestegaard, James G. and Mrs. Ada B. Kunz, William Hyte, and Jefferson H. Broady scholarships will be given to students who are worthy of financial assist ance. The Katharine M. Melick scholarship goes to a junior or senior woman Enelish maior; The Nebraskan American Legion Auxiliary scholarship to a sopho more woman who is a daughter of an armed forces veteran; and the war scholarships will bo awarded to veterans who at tended the University before en tering the armed forces. Other Awards Other scholarships and their recipients are as follows: John E. Almy, physics major; Andrew V. Anderson, last semester junior in civil engineering; George Bor- rowman, chemistry or geology major; Captain Warren B. Day. engineering student; William O. namoei, law student; Jones Na tional Bank, student from Sew ard county; Miller and Paine, sophomores; Scottish Rite, Ne braska residents above freshman level; William E.
