Lee and Sawyer will provide Biblical commentary on events prominent in Christian history during the tour. A limited number of spaces will be made available to the general public for those who would like to participate in the tour.

The tour begins Tuesday, May 21, when the group departs JFK International Airport in New York for Cairo. One day will be spent touring Cairo and surrounding areas including a trip to the Cheops pyramide, the Sphinx, and Egyptian Museum where the King Tut treasures are on permanent display. The group moves to Israel on the fourth day and will spend six days visiting the Sea of Galilee, Caper naum, Samaria, the Mount of Olives, Gethsemane, Bethlehem, Mount Zion, Masada, Jericho, Calvary, Nazareth, and Tel Aviv.

COLLEGE STUDENTS URGED TO LINE UP PRIVATE SCHOLARSHIPS NOW: Deadlines are quickly ap proaching for summer and fall financial aid, according to The Scholarship Bank. Students with financial needs should begin now to investigate some of the more than 25,000 private aid sources, according to Steve Danz, Director. These funds are available to students with in terests in a number of fields, and many do not depend on demon strated financial need, as do state and federal funds. For example, students with an interest in business, law, and accounting can receive a stipend from the Excep tional Student Fellowship Fund, and apply to the parent corpora tion for full time work following graduation. The Scholarship Bank is the largest private scholarship bank in the country for undergraduate and for graduate grants and loans. The computer can help you find sources designed just for you, bas ed on your major, occupational goal, geographical desires, type of aid requested (scholarships, loans, summer work), and special skills and hobbies. According to the director, the computer guarantees each student at least fifty sources of aid. It has been estimated that each package of aid represents ap proximately $20,000 in potential money for college. Private aid comes from America’s largest foundations, corporations, unions, and private donors and totals approximately 500 million dollars, or one fourth of all available aid. Thus, it is an ex tremely valuable addition to the private and state moneys available. As an example of the depth of the search, the bank reports one stu dent found thirty six sources for the most unusual major of “deep sea diver”. Students wishing to use the search should send a stamped, self addressed envelope to The Scholarship Bank, lOKX) Santa Monica #2600, LA CA 90067.
