Students Pay Tuition With Barley
About 30 needy rural students at the Saskatoon campus of the University of Saskatchewan will pay next year's tuition with barley. Albert Chambers proposed the idea to Prof. J. M. Bell, head of animal science, who said the department could use about 15 000 bushels of barley for feed. The university board of governors approved the plan last week. The vice president Dr. L. Barber lamented wishing it could cover 3 000 students, not just 30.
