it was announced that,
through the lack of enthusiasm,
the administration has with
drawn its support and there will
be no departmental open houses
during College Days. The en
gineers open house will be held
on the original date, but will
be independent of College Days.
College Days will not make any
concentrated drive to high school
students. The committee reported
this will lessen the conflict be
tween College Days and the engineers.
The committee resolved that a
constitution for College Days at
this time is impractical.
After a meeting with the Col
lege Days board Thursday, it will
be decided if a poll should be
taken of University students to
determine if there is a wish for
such an organization.
Miriam Willey, chairman of the
judiciary committee, reported that
a meeting will be held for all or

The purpose of the meeting will
be to discuss the commercialized

moved a few weeks ago by the
fine singing of a student chorus
that he was directing that he

"You cave me a real big thrill,'

The new scholarship plan is
open only to "those who help
themselves," according to its
originator, Howard S. Wilcox,
executive director of the Indiana
university foundation.
Any student applying must show
he earns at least part of his col
lege expenses through work after
school. All students who work ten
or more hours are eligible.
All applicants are rated accord
ing to a chart. If a student works
26 hours a week, he receives 13
scholarship credits. If he also earns
a ' a ' (or 2.0) scholastic rating, he
receives 11, giving him a total of
24 points in the competition.
The money, more than $6,000,
came from a campus bicycle
race. Thirty-three bike teams
competed in the race staged in
the university's memorial sta
dium. All proceeds went to set
up the fund.
On the average the 60 winners,
chosen from 200 applicants, had a
class standing of higher than "B"
and worked at jobs outside of
school hours for about 25 hours a
week. Forty-three of the winners
were men, and 17 women.
Many of the group helped earn
their way by waiting tables, buss
ing dishes and working in resi
dence halls, fraternity and sorority
kitchens.
One is a substitute head nurse
at the Bloomington hospital. Two
are bartenders in the city. One
is a hotel night clerk and auditor
on the mldnight-to-7 a.m. shift.
Not all the scholarship winners
are independent youngsters. The
bright student who is a part-time
clerk in a meat market is the

that they murdered the 7,853
men who are still missing ac
cording to UN rosters, "but I
do know what we would all
