He was sentenced to six months in jail to be served at the same time as the sentence he received on forgery charges.

He has served 14 days in jail and was ordered to serve 16 more days with the remainder probated.

News briefs College questions answered Two toll-free hotlines have been opened to answer questions about the cost of a college education.

The hotlines were set up in response to a Gallup Poll that showed high school students had misconceptions about the cost of tuition and the availability of financial aid. The survey conducted as part of Higher Education Week showed that over half of the high school students polled thought that it cost $5,000 a year in tuition and fees to attend a state university. The national average is $1,566. Another 49 percent of the students thought that they couldn't receive financial aid for a private school if their parents could afford a state school. The hotlines will be open from 9 a.m.

to 9 p.m. today through Thursday. Admissions and financial aid experts from colleges and universities from around the nation will staff the hotlines. For admissions questions the number is (800) 255-5463. For financial aid questons the number is (800) 422-8728.

The hotlines are co-sponored by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education and USA Today. Kentucky students and parents also can call the admissions office of any Kentucky college or university to receive answers to their questions about the admissions and financial aid opportunities available in this state.
