The number of available tui

sity has dropped in recent years
from 120 to 94, a recent survey
reveals. - H
Approximately 400 to 500 ap
plications for scholarshiDs are
received each year by self-help
officials. 1 i
The decrease in the number
of available financial awards is
due, University officials say, to
the depreciation of endowment
funds during the depression. .
Seventy of the 94 awards are
endowed scholarships valued at
$75, awarded and controlled by
the University.
The remaining 24 are special

rier, undaunted by the uniform
of a United States postal man.
Mr. Strowd looked at the fox
terrier, and the fox terrier look
ed at Mr. Strowd. Then the dog
bit him on the leg, tearing the
United States uniform. The post
man went on his way the mail
must go through and: the dog
disappeared.
A few days later Mr- Strowd
was making his usual uneventful
tour down Vance street. The un-
eventf ulness of his daily tour
was broken again by a fox ter
rier, quite like the first one.
Mr. Strowd was becoming
used to this sort of thing. He
looked at the dog, and the dog
looked at Mr. Strowd. Then the
dog bit him on the leg, tearing
again the United States uniform.
Mr. Strowd wanted to call out
the coast guard for national de
fense and protection of the
American flag. But he didn't do
all that: he iust called the
r
health department.
The dog had been vaccinated
against rabies. Mr. Strowd had
been vaccinated against rabies,
too, so that made everything all
right.
The funny part of the story is
that there really were two dogs,
and not just one as everybody
has suspected by now.
Anti-climax: Mr. Strowd had
the two dogs locked up and now
he carries the mail through
Chapel Hill streets without any
of the impediments that face the
pony express, the stage coach,
or the airplane, including dogs.
Major Program Will Be Pre
sented Toward End of
