Many students felt that, since a considerable number of Hope students have already visited Austria as members of the Hope College Vienna Summer School, and many others are planning to do so in the future, the presence of an Austrian student on the campus would be of particular interest and value to the whole college community. The International Relations Club and other student organizations sponsored projects in order to raise the funds for the scholarship. A smorgasbord and the Tulip J Time car parking project raised nearly five hundred dollars. Over three hundred dollars was raised by the Hope College Women's Activity League during the annual Penny Carnival which, this year, also featured a Viennese Coffee House, "Cafe Mozart". The Frater- nal Society contributed two hundred and fifty dollars of the money they earned through the "Prater Frolics" and President Lubbers agreed that the college would grant a scholarship in the same amount. Nowotny, selected by members of the Hope College Vienna Summer School group for the award, is twenty- one and has already completed three years of study at the University^ of Vienna where he has made an outstanding record.
