This will be the last Good Time Guide for this semester. But stop your cheering and applauding or we may bring it back again next year.
TC’s final activity of the year will be the Snowball that will be staged in the Student Center next Thursday night. So forget about the final exams you will have flunked and join in the dancing that will begin at 9 p.m. and conclude at 1 a.m. The Student Senate has promised a top notch affair that will have “An Old Fashioned Christmas” as its theme. Admission will be a $5 per couple and the attire for the evening will be formal.
ON THE TUBE: Channel 12 will feature another hairy ape movie tonight when it presents “Escape From the Planet of the Apes.” This is the third flick in a series of “Ape” movies and it is a goodie.
Freak rock will highlight the Midnight Special tonight on Channel 6 as English rock superstar David Bowie makes his American television debut. This mind blower is a 90 minute special program taped in London.
On Channel 3 tonight, “Bye Bye Birdie” will be aired again. Tune it in at 10:30 o’clock if you are looking for something on the lighter side.

Grants Available
Students still have time to apply for some of the $122.1 million that is available in the Basic Educational Opportunity Grants program for the 1973-74 school year.
Basic Grants, which are funded by the U.S. Office of Education, are available to first-time students who began their post-high school education or training after July 1, 1973, on a full-time basis. These grants can be used at any eligible institution including community or junior colleges, vocational or technical schools, and hospital schools of nursing — both public and private, profit and non-profit.
Grants are based on a formula which takes into account the cost of tuition, fees, room, board, books, supplies, and incidental expenses, and the amount the student and his or her family can contribute. It is not a loan that had to be paid back.
Students may obtain an application form for a Basic Grant through their financial aid officer or guidance counselor, or by writing to Box G, Iowa City, Iowa 52240.
