Tragedy scheduled for next production Anne of A Thousand Days has been chosen as the Drama Department's next production to run December 9, 10, 11 and 16, 17, 18. Recent auditions selected the cast whose members are Henry VIII, Buddy Ashbrook; Anne, Leah A very; Sir Thomas More, Bill Knotts; Cromwell, Phil Manescalchi; Mary Stuart, Henry's daughter by his first wife, Claudia Keithley; Elizabeth, Anne's daugher, Gayle Tice. The play by Maxwell Anderson, concerns the short 1,000 day life of Anne Boleyn after she married King Henry VIII and became Queen of England. The play, though not a musical, will have some singing involved when Henry, thinking himself a poet, has some of his poetry set to music. Playwright Anderson is known for the life-or-death situations he puts to the characters said Buddy Ashbrook, director. He's written three plays about the lives of British queens: Elizabeth, the Queen, Mary, Queen of Scots and Anne of A Thousand Days. "In them the heroine is given the choice of saving her life or her honor; she chooses death to save her honor," said Ashorook. According to Ashbrook, Anne will help to balance the season. "In addition to Jack the Ripper, which was a musical-comedy, and Anne of A Thousand Days, which is a tragedy, we will be performing a

If they do place, the company will perform in midFebruary at Cypress College in Cypress, Calif. "We won't know until December 14," said Ashbrook. "Right now we try not to think about it too much." Also, if they place, it's possible there will be some performances here of Jack the Ripper as "warm-ups" for Cypress College said Ashbrook. Rehearsals began November 2 at 7 p.m. in the drama lab for Anne of A Thousand Days.

FOUR YEAR COllEGES
Scholarship deadline nearing "Students attending four year institutions next fall should be applying for state scholarships and grants now," said Frank Hankin, financial aids director. "They should also contact the financial aids office of their future school and request financial aids data, such as deadline dates and types of applications needed." For those Palomar students who want money for this year, Hankin says, "All scholarships, all financial aids and every penny given to us by the Federal government have been taken. All except for the Basic Educational and Opportunity Grants, which anyone can and definitely should apply for. It's
amazing to see how many people qualify for this grant. Anybody can get it." This year Hankin expects to give out more than $500,000 to BEOG recipients at Palomar. This anticipated sum far exceeds that oflast year and the originally expected sum for this year. "For the last seven years," explained Hankin, "there have been more applicants and more money, but percentage-wise, less money for the number of people applying. "Uue to this numbers factor, we must be more careful with those receiving financial aids in making sure that they are completing their classes and are progressing at
minimum speed. Those deemed by us not to be trying will not receive our aids," Hankin stated. Although the financial aids department has been pretty busy lately, Hankin says things are running smoothly with a new receptionist, L:>u Thacker, and a new office in the recently-constructed Staff Building 4. Hankin has run into one problem in his department this year and that has been with the California state government. Sacramento, it seems, has fallen behind in its apportion.nent of funds for educational awards and grants. After two months of waiting the students have just recently received their money.
