The Association for Education in Journalism announced recently that it has immediate scholarships of up to $2,000 (U.S.) dollars per year for children of foreign correspondents wishing to study journalism in an American college or university.

Money for the scholarships comes

from the Correspondents Fund of New York, a charitable foundation established to aid journalists in need and promote the development of the profession.

It seems that the Eygptian attendants had never seen a modern pet cage with a sliding door and had decided to crow-bar Nicholas's container open.

His memories stretch back to fantastic adventures.

In Greenwich Village he wandered away, touring tomfashion New Yo¡k's more intriguing nightlife.

Arnie had to leave for Europe. Nicholas apparently was lost forever despite diligent searching.

But a friend who had never seen Nicholas and only knew his general description, discovered him on a sidewalk. She bundled him aboard an international jet liner and he arrived in Frankfurt, which was a mistake.

Arnie was in London. He and his girl friend, Pat, raced to Frankfurt to rejoin Nicholas.

He proceeded to bite them and they knew they had their own cat back.

Re-assigned to the Middle East, Arnie and Pat took Nicholas on the Orient Express. But there is no place

on that train of mystery for a litter box. When it

seemed an appropriate time, Pat would hold Nicholas over the lavatory stool for his ministrations.

Of course, this is not the way it is done in the cat world, and Nicholas clawed and sunk his teeth in Pat's skin to make known his dissatisfaction.

Afte¡ a time in Damascus, Nicholas was to accompany funie to Cairo. No sweat, said a kindly air travel agent, we'll send him along freight and it'll be cheaper than baggage. Right, said Arnie.

Cairo was a city of excitment, but tom Nicholas din't seem to be interested, "He's really, essentially a house cat," says Arnie.
