The brilliant Scherzo of the sec ond movement was inspired by a performance of the play, "Much Ado About Nothing." MacDowell was impressed by Ellen Terry's performance of Beatrice and im mediately sketched the brilliant work.

Battle of j in a life time " BY RON SHUMATE Few people grow trees in bottle caps and empty watch boxes, but Lyman A. Rippcrton has been do ing thi. for about four years. The assistant professor in the Dept. of Sanitary Engineering here began his hobby of "dwarfing trees" while he was living in Cali fornia. Bonsai, as the hobby is known, is a Japanese word meaning "shal low pot," which Is what most of the miniature trees and shrubs are grown in. Some of Ripperton't specimens will be shown at the "See It And Do It" hobby show here Frdiay and Saturday at the Morehead Plane tarium. Another exhibitor will be Lynn Gault, ceramics designer of Chero kee's outdoor pageant "Unto These Hill." Gault formerly lived in Chapel Hill an! was with the Dra matic Arts department of the Uni versity. He will display some of his original ceramics designs. (play some of her work in silver .jewelry. Some finger paintings will be exhibited by Ruth Shaw, lectur er and teacher. Woodcarvings by Mrs. Harry E. Davis will be shown. Some of the exhibitors will not only show their hobbies, but will have workshops' in which others may try their hand at the various pastimes. The show will run from 1-9 p.m. on Friday and from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday. No admission will be charged for the exhibit sponsored by the Chapel Hill So ciety for the Aging. The show is under the direction of Mrs. Maurice Whittinghill, Mrs. William C. Friday, wife of the President of the Consolidated University and Mrs. Davis. The committee is directed by Society president Carson Ryan, a former Dean of the School of Education. Ripperton will exhibit some dwarfted Japanese holly and some Bonsai pronounced "bone-sigh" was originally a Chinese art, but the Japanese developed it further, and it eventually spread to other parts of the world. Bonsai is more widespread on the West Coast, par ticularly in California, where bon sai competitions are often held. Rippcrton says the trees are "dwarfed" by nipping off the buds and the roots. "It's better 'to cut as little as possible," he said, "but the nipping helps develop more branches fur ther down and also makes the trunk grow larger." He said the problem in growing these miniature trees is in getting the leaves to decrease in the same proportion as the trunk and limbs. "I've heard that some of those who are real good at this have grown trees in containers as small as a thimble," Ripperton said. "Some of the tiny trees actually bore fruit. And they even have some Sequoia trees in Californai other plants in pots, in addition to hta fk.nk. MJ . f . ... t .

Ripperton, who moved here from Los Angeles in December, 1957, compares bonsai with painting. "Each plant should be seen indi viduallyjust like paintings in an art gallery. Of course the real en thusiasts get a kick out of seeing a whole group of plants at once, but the average person will ap preciate them more if he sees only a few at a time." He said he brought about 35 plants when he moved from Cali fornia, but nearly all of them died during the winter. "The frost real ly presents a problem," he said. "I don't know why there are so few bonsai enthusiasts around here," Ripperton said. "This is a real good area for it. There are lots of trees, though the weather docs get a little too cold some times." But Ripperton says that, in spite of the cold, VYou just can't erow them indoors." 'Td heard about bonsai since I was a child," he said, "and then one day I happened to run across a book on the subject. I didn't think much about it until a col league of mine came in with the same book. "A few days later we noticed that a Pasadena nursery had some sort of bonsai display. I went to it and bought a citrus tree. From then on I was hooked." Ripperton says "It's just some thing I enjoy. It's really challeng ing to make these plants look like something." He says the best way to "really get into bonsai is to read a little at a time. Don't try to absorb it all," he said. "The whole secret is patience. If you're impatient or easily discour aged, this is not the hobby for you." CANTERBURY CLUB The Canterbury Club will meet at 5:45 p.m. Sunday. Supper will be served at. 6 p.m. and a movie, "Cool Jazz" will be shown at 6:30 pm. UNC received a letter from a New York minister. The letter read, in part, MMy dear Sir: Enclosed please find my check for $300. If you will accept the care of it, I wish it to be the 'beginning of a loan fund, the money to be lent to students attending the University of North Carolina. . . . '"It is a small amount. The pre sent demands on me prevent my giving more. It may grow larger if the Lord prospers me .or inclines others to increase it. It is my me morial to my first iborn, Theodore D. Deems, who was born at Chap el Hill and fell at Gettysburg." The letter and the check were from Rev. Charles F. Deems, for merly a professor in the Univer sity. Evidently the Lord did "in cline others" because a year later, the Rev. Deems received a letter addressed to him from a W. H VanderbUt, reading, "Herewith please find my check for ten thou sand dollars as subscription to the University of North Carolina, as an addition to the 'Deems Fund' to be loaned to indigent students at the University." It was in this manner that the University Loan Fund was estab lished. The purpose of the loan was straightforward and simple. Rev. Deems wrote further: "Of young men, who have so much promise in them that they can find friends to stand for so small a sum as each needs, there must be enough to take up all the money we can lend. Give them plenty of time to pay principal and interest, end then they will be grateful for the kindness which they retain their' This is the University Loan Fund in a nutshell. Its intentions are the same as those set down by Rev. Deems. ager. Of course all mony borrowed from the fund, is expected to be used for direct educational ex penses such as tuition, matriculation fees, dormitory room rent, etc. In 1958 the U. S. Government en tered into student loans via the Na tional Defense Education Act, an TV, ! i xuC VLu ana purpose arc as S:m-1 act which was the result of sput ple and as logical as anyone could niks and an act termed by Harold wish It contends that if a student Weaver, in charge of student loans, at the University needs money to as "the greatest thin? in han a r f - commence or continue his studies, that money should 'be available to him in form of a loan. Too many students are perplexed about the loan or have misconcep tions. The applicant first wonders if his application warrants approval by the Loan Fund Committee. The committee is generally guided by the applicant's proven financl need, character, scholarship, men tal ability, habits of study and at titude. He must also meet the scholar ship standard required by the Uni versity for graduation, and shou?d show that he has reduced his ex penses to an absolute minimum. Generally no loans are given first term students unless they rank in the upper 25 percent of their high school graduating class. Then in a sense, application for the loan begins not the day the student enters the University, . but when he is a junior and senior in high school. Once the application is approved. the loan is usually made for one year with three percent interest and with the understanding that it may be renewed for another year if the student is still in school at the tme of its maturity. After a student is out of school, he may repay his loan on a monthly installment plan approved by the loan fund man- to education. This act enables graduates and undergraduates in need of financial assistance to borrow up to $1,000 a year and up to So.im during the entire course of higher education. Repayment on this loan will not have to be made until oiip year after the recipient's leaving col lege. Even then there will be 10 years given for repayment and part of the Joan will be cancelled if the recipient becomes a public elemen tary or secondary school teacher. Applicants given prime consider ation for the government loan are those students with a superior aca demic background who express a desire to teach in elementary or secondary schools, and students whose academic background indi cates a superior capacity or pre-, paration in science, mathematics engineering or a modern foreign language. The desires of ?he University Loan Fund today are to be able to echo the words of President, Battle, who declared in 1382: "The Fund has been of very great value to the University. Some of our best students would have been forced to leave the institution but for relief derived from it, and oth er excellent young men would not have been able to join us but for its aid," t
