  • Page 8 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Federally Supported Program Aids College Students More than 217,000 students who need money to attend college will be helped by the federally supported College Work- Study Program during the second half of this year, Wilbur J. Cohen, Acting Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare said today. More than $82 million in Federal grants will be made available by the U.S. Office of Education during the six-month period, he said. "Our goal is to remove the financial barrier that stands in the way of any qualified young person who seeks a college education," Mr. Cohen said. "This program, which provides paying jobs for students, is one of the ways in which we are working to remove that financial barrier." During the current school year, more than 300,000 are being helped through college by the program. The Office of Education has allocated grants in support of the program for the second half of 1968 to 1,845 institutions of higher education in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. From July 1 through August 19, 1968, the Federal Govern- ment will pay 85 percent of the wages of student workers, with the remainder provided by the college or off-campus em- ployer. After August 20, the Federal share will be 80 percent Student employment consists of on-campus jobs such as teacher assistant, library aide, laboratory assistant, maintenance worker or administrative aide. Off-campus work may be for public or private nonprofit agencies in such activities as health, welfare, education and recreation. Students may work an average of 15 hours per week while in school and up to 40 hours a week during vacation. Any student unable to enter or to continue in college for lack of funds may apply for participation in the Work-Study Program to the financial aid office of the college he attends or plans to enter. The college or university presents its overall request for Federal assistance toaregional panel set up by the Office of Education. These panels are composed of local college officials and Federal student financial aid officials. The U.S. Commissioner of Education makes awards on the basis of panel recommendations. The College Work-Study program was established under the Economic Opportunity r Act of 1964 and its administration was subsequently transferred to the U.S. Office of Education by the Higher Education Act of 1965. It is administered by the Bureau of Higher Education. CULLOWHEE BARBER SHOP Your Huireut At You Like It Lebern Dills Bruce Middleton Across From College Gulf OPEN TUES. —SAX. i'M aunv—6H» pua.

Already represented are: kappa Alpha, Sigma Tau Sigma, Zeta Tau Alpha, Delta Zeta, the Biology Club and the Rotaract Club.

Kerouac •From Page 4 The picture that emerges is that of a vain, vicious little tease who finally turns against his lover. Duluoz, on the other hand, professes a liking for the boy, without further explanation, and, with that background, one- third of the book is devoted to the murder and Kerouac's part in it, a role of which he seems unduly proud, given the reader's picture of the main actor. Any explanation of the motivations and reactions between the author and the boy which may have made it understandable are simply omitted. Finally, the book trails off into an inconclusive narrative of Duluoz* life after the murder, and some summary declarations on the vanity of the young man which led him through his career to date, a non-ending which should lead one naturally into the next Kerouac non-novel, perhaps Before the Road. Despite all this, there are occasional paragraphs which remind one of some of Kerouac's best work, and these deal almost exclusively with his early visions and impressions of New York City. It is as though his early experiences there are the only ones which have remained fresh in his mind, unspoiled by the nagging bitterness and self-justification of the rest And that, finally, is the worst fault of the book—it is lazy. WeJtnow that he can do better. md0% rWSWSTt . . . From Page 1. Q. Is it not the policy of the cafeteria to give the last person in line the same choice as the first one in line? If so them why can't one get fried eggs with soft yokes after 8 a.m.? A. "We have always had a practice that these folks go to the salad department, so we stack eggs in advance," said Stedman Mitchell, director of food services. "We quit frying eggs at 8 a.m. so that the employees can begin lunch preparations. If there is a great demand for fried eggs after 8 a.m. then we will bend with the demand." Q. The WHG election ballots were burned Tuesday night. I would like to know the reason for the action. There have been rumors about stuffing of the ballot boxes. If this is true, why is it necessary to have refiling and re-election. Couldn't we have just had a re-election the next day? \. See story on page 1.
