Coed Proves Money
Is Least of Problems
Sandra Kay Ahlman, a soph
omore in Teachers College, is
one of the many who has
proved that the lack of money
is a poor excuse for not get
ting a college education.
Sandra this week was the
10,000th student to obtain a
regular loan by the Univer
sity since 1911.
The University is able to
give these loans because of
money trom non-tax funds en
trusted to the Board of Re
gents by alumni, business
firms, foundations, trusts and
friends.
Sandra's mother teaches el
ementary school and her fa
ther is a farmer in Pierce.1
After graduation, as vale-i
dictorian of her high school
class, sne was faced with the
problem of wanting to attend
college but not having the fi
nancial means, sne has three
younger sisters, and knew
that her family could not hand
out $1400 a year for the com
plete cost of an education.
Sandra was determined
even if it meant working full
time during the school year,
and then attending summer
school.
Under the University's fi
nancial aids program, Sandra
was given a gift scholarship,
a loan and a work scholar
ship. She works part time in
of
the University's Office
Business Research.
Along with some help from
her parents, she was able to
make it through her freshman
year with a 6.9 grade point
average, ims year her schol
arships and loans were re
newed.
Her part time work has not
Kept tier from limiting her
acuviues. sne is social chair
man of Gamma Delta, nation
al Lutheran association for
students; and a member of
iassels. She lives at the
residence halls for women.
Dan W. Pod. assistant di
rector of financial aids, said
that beside the regular loan
program, tne University also
has available funds held by
the University Foundation
and the National Defense Act.
The total loan program has
increased from an annual vol
ume of $3,528 in 1947-48 to an
estimated $4,500,000 for the
current academic year.
Pop said the demand will
increase but that almost all
of the available cash is in the
hands of the students. Tan
volume, he said, will only in
crease if more funds are con
tributed from outside sources.
At present, more than S750.-
000 is outstanding in loans to
aoom z,uuo students. Students
may borrow only that amount
which they can not get from
outside sources.

A -work penalty for studpnt
offenders is one of the recpnt
changes made bythe Student
Tribunal, according to Dick
Schmeiling, chairman.
Previously, an offender
couia De put on conduct warn
ing or conduct probation
This way, a student could be
prohibited from oarticiDatine
in activities. Now, an offen
der can be assigned a cer
tain number of hours of con
structive work at Cedars
Home for Children, be nut on
warning or probation, or a
combination of both.
Another change is that an
offender must aooear before
the Tribunal at the approp
riate tune, or his absence will
be considered an additional
offense.
Twenty-seven students ap
peared before the Tribunal
during the first semester.Six-
teen individuals were charged
with illegal possession of al
coholic beverages or purchas
ing for minors.
Conduct Probation
Conduct probation for two
semesters was recommended
for five of these cases be
cause of an additional charge
of disturbing the peace. Con
duct warning was recomen
ded for six. while probation
for one semester was recom
mended for five.
Twenty-four hours of work
at Cedars Home was assiened
to students who were involved
in two different cases of theft
of furniture from the Union.
The report of the tribunal
stated that that body felt
that it was equal and real
punishment."
The report of the Tribunal
also stated that members felt
that conduct probation bad
proved unsatisfactory, as
some individuals are n n n-
ished severely and some
hardly at all.
One student received a rec-
omendation of 16 hours of
work for check forgery; this
was changed to 30 hours bv
the Dean of Student Affairs.
One student was brought be
fore the Tribunal for forging
names on rirnn slins! hp was

tor of the art galleries
from 1931 until 1950, when
he became director of the
Des Moines Art Center un
til 1958.
His paintings are a com
bination of products in a
variety of styles.
Among the paintings are
portraits, ink sketches, .jut
and still lifes.
According to the artist,
the paintings reflect his
early training which was in
the American impression
istic school of thought, but
they also have a touch of
the Oriental
Kirsch was in the. Oreint
five years ago, where he
learned more about the
ideas behind their paint
ing. With a graceful move
ment of his hand he point
ed to one of the paintings,
"These line movements and
slectiveness are probably
evidences of the Oriental
touch."
The newest thing the ar
tist has been working on is
getting different colors
from things found to a
ture teedi, berries, leaves.
One of the paintings in
the exhibit is an assem
blage, which he said has a
part of a hornet's nest,
spruce needles, juniper
berries, and charcoal from
a firenlace.,
"I'm always experiment
in?," he added. He o 1 1 e n
adds Sumi ink to the nat
ural stained paintings for
emphasis and details.
"This boy's complexion
was done with instant cof
fee," he said pointing to a
portrait. "Ths color for his
shirt was derived from
elderberry juice. The other
shades in the shirt were
made by adding lemon
reddish and soda to make
it biuish."
Many things can be done
with natural stains just by
mkaing them more acid or
alkaline, Kirsche explained.
Leaves often serve as a
dual purpose for the artist
He will apply color to the
outside of the leaves and
press them on the paper
and get their image that
way; or he might use them
as a stencil and paint
around them.
