Hot Cakes 1 i ii it HVICI 1S8011 BAR Parrish Sts. Durham A sharp upswing in the number of students seeking financial as sistance, including self-help jobs, is reported here as the Univer sity begins its 169th year. "We have the largest number cf scholarship-seeking, job-seeking, loan-seeking applicants in years," said Julian D. Mason, UNC Student Aid director. In the three areas of student aid scholarships, jobs, and loans all scholarships for the year have been awarded. All University-controlled jobs have been committed. Students are turning to loans. These are available from the University's loan funds, including the National Defense Student Loan Program. Reasons for the larre numbers of requests for assistance are not conjectured by University offi cials. It is not clear whether a regional and national recession, triggered by the stock market decline and other factors earlier this year, has caused the extra run on scholarships-loans-jobs, or whether the additional requests are attributable to the normal in crease in students in the Uni versity, or whether other econom ic or enrollment features are in volved. Trend Reversed Mason said the increased ap plication for part time jobs is a departure from a trend noted here in recent years. For the past several years the trend has been "away from part-time work," said Mason. Two reasons seem apparent. "The University's high er entrance requirements, and its higher requirements for remain ing in schools," explained Mason, "have made it necessary for many students to give up jobs in order to study harder." Mason also said that just be cause a larger number of stu dents are applying for self-help jobs does not mean they will eventually be working part-time if and when jobs do become avail able. Precedent here is that more students apply than actually in tend to take jobs. Accordingly, many who have applied and have been placed on waiting lists do not take advantage of their "second priority" status when vacancies occur in campus jobs, Mason said. Last year 638 UNC students earned more than $300,000 in part-time jobs in the University. Besides these, a number of stu dents get jobs on their own, in Chapel Hill and Durham, without going through the Student Aid Office. The University maintains no records of students in non-University-controlled jobs; but there are many of them. Dinin Halls The dining halls in the Uni versity employ the largest num ber of students: Lenoir Hall, the Carolina Inn, Monogram Club, and the cafeteria in the new Ehringhaus dormitory. Over 200 students will find work waiting on tables or doing other kitchen and dining room chores. The average self-help student works from 15 to 20 hours a week Start ivith the basic shirt and the basic shirtdress.

In addition to those working in the University's service agencies, schools and departments, dormi tories, library and othe" places on the campus, there are many working in dov.'i.iown cafes: busi ness offices, and other local establishments. Some students hold down two or three jobs. An example is Steve Blackwell of Forest City, who at the moment majr be the champion multi-job holder among students. He Is a VVrke Forest alumnus and a native of Forest City. He plans to enter UNC Law School in September. During the summer he has held four jobs: (D feeding and caring for white rats at Duke Hospital, four hours a day; (2) working as a printer for the News of Orange County, fours hours a day; to) on week ends he has an extra job at the N. C. Memorial Hospital in Chap el Hill; (4) he lives with his wife and children on a farm necr Chapel Hill and raises nigs in his spare time. Law Classes When school starts and Black well starts his law classes, he probably won't have time to do all his part-time out-of-class work and at the same time keep up with the expectations in Law School. The University discour ages excessive work outside of class and normal study routine, believing that it erodes the time and attention that ought to be given to. University studies. In stead, the University encourages such students to borow. However, students such as Steve Blackwell are typical in energy and ambition with many self-help Carolina students in the past and the present who by rug ged determination and willing ness to work hard have managed to pay their own way through the University. The University's loan program is the facet of student aid that is expanding the fastest. The passing of the National Defense Education Act in 1958 by Con gress has increased the number of low-interest loans available to needy and qualified University students. These funds supplement ed the already impressive Uni versity loan funds which draw their resources from donations. Repayment Plan Chancellor William B. Aycock recently announced a new repay ment plan which should make student loans even more attrac tive. Under the plan, borrowers of regular University funds will not have to pay anything on the principal while in school. Interest, which formerly began at the time of the loan, will not be charged until the student's separation from the University. At the student's request, these same conditions may be kept in effect w-hile he continues his education at anoth er school or while he is in the service or Peace Corps. The new policy does not effect the NDSL loans, although the terms of re payment are similar. BE A Collector Of Compliments T A T7 lag: EES Of Thomas Wolfe s Literary Aehievemen The UNC Press will publish on November 10 Richard S. Ken nedy's "The Window of Memory; The Literary Career of Thomas Wolfe." Not a biography, the Kennedy study is primarily con cerned with Wolfe's literary achievement, or, as Dr. Kennedy puts it. "why Wolfe wrote the way he did and what that way was." Dr. Kennedy's book is based on Wolfe's manuscripts, notebooks, diaries, and letters, and on in terviews with Wolfe's relatives, friends, and literary associates. Dr. Kennedy has had full access to all the materials under the control of the Wolfe Estate. His careful survey of the develop ment in manuscript of Wolfe's short stories and novels makes this volume of literary criticism the only aopraisal of Wolfe's mind and art that is based on all the evidence. Only such biographical detail 'Suicide 50' As Honors B By LEON ROOKE The number of University stu dents who run the obstacle course for "superior freshmen" may be one man shy of their usual 50 members of the freshmen Honors squad this year but the pitfalls of the course will be just as numerous. Forty-nine "superior fresh men (more may be announced later) will e nter here Sept. 18 into the 'Honors Program for students possessing outstanding talent for college. Meanwhile they are the "Forty-niners." Not long ago members of the regular freshman class (about 1700 strong this year) dubbed this crew "suicide 50" in appreciation of the many obstacles faced by them: they run the gamut of special courses that cover more ground, welve more deeDly into subject matter and al! at a pace that would dazzle da Vinci. Prof. Ray Dawson, advisor to the Honors frosh, explained that the highballing freshmen will SDlit ud for sDorial classes in three fundamental areas. The North Carolinians are: James C.

Eliza beth Nowell's "Thomas Wolfe: A Biography," published in 1960, remains the authorized Wolfe bio graphy, and the Kennedy book will complement and not supplant it. Miss Nowell specifically ac knowledged her debt to Dr. Ken nedy in her book. The early portion of the Ken nedy study inquires into Wolfe's parentage, surrounding, readings, studies, and travels, and the fri fate ships that that inflenced his writing talent. The remainder and the bulk of the book focuses ucon what that talent produced. Fol lowing Wolfe's literary output chronologically.

The publication of the Kennedy study is the climax of a literal y effort that began more than ten years ago, when Dr. Kennedy was a student of Howard Mumford Jones at Harvard, whose library is the major repository of Wolfe's papers. It was Dr. Jones' sug gestion that Dr. Kennedy under took his work on Wolfe. The No well biography was published while Dr. Kennedy was writing his own book.
