Howdy often made up funny words to songs to fete their hosts and tour leaders. He has probably led singing on every continent. All along, since shortly after graduat- ing, Howdy and Mary have vol- unteered with the Cal Alumni Scholarship committee by interviewing and choosing undergrads to receive Alumni Scholarships.

Holes: Just half done Continued from page 5 (Alameda) — A free work- shop is being held for the parents of college bound high school students at the Alameda Main Library on Tuesday, May 14. The workshop will focus on little-known ways of getting money for college, what you should be doing if you're the par- ent of a freshman, sophomore, junior, or incoming senior, no matter how much income you make, or how good of a student you have, and how you can save $10,000.00 to $25000.00 if you act now. The class will include such topics as how to double or triple your eligibility for free grant money, the secret to sending your child to a private or UC school for less than the cost of a junior college, and the single biggest mistake that 9 out of 10 parents make when planning for college. The workshop date is Tuesday, May 14 at 6:30pm. The work- shop will be held at the Alameda Main Library at 1550 Oak St. The workshop is being taught by College Planning Specialists of the Bay Area, the nation's leading expert on paying for college.
