Social security to send
seniors to college
With the recent cutbacks by
President Ronald Reagan,
high school seniors are facing
the dilemma of gaining ad
mission to higher education
institutions under the Social
Security Assistance
deadlines. Unless eligible
students are enrolled before
the May 1, 1982 deadline, they
could lose their financial
assistance under the federal
program.
Pat Zubritsky, financial aid
officer at the Hazleton Cam
pus, reported that there are
about 60 students under
Social Security Assistance
who who will be attending
classes during spring term.
In order for the high school
students to be admitted they
first had to qualify for admis
sion in Penn State or they
would not be accepted.

The students o(Dr. Price's
Arts I section will travel to
New York to visit the
Metropolitan Museum of Art.
On Saturday, April 12 with
bus departure from Hazleton
at 8:30 AM and from New
York at 7 PM.
According to Price, the trip
to the museum is used by Arts
I students to fulfill a class re
quirement which has students
visit three art or cultural
events. Cost for the trip is ap
proximately seven dollars for
students and twelve dollars
for guests. The balance of the
cost is paid by the Penn

evaluated and admitted as

to enter even if they do not
plan on attending Penn State
in the fall.
On Wednesday, March 3,
the Continuing Education of
fice held a program for the
students who would be atten
ding classes during spring
term. At the program,
students were introduced to
the, Penn State system and
were given presentations on
financial aid. Following the
presentation, the seniors
were then given their class
schedules and began classes
on March 15th.
Price said that he feels that
the trip to New York is
beneficial on two levels. "One
level, education, exposes
students to what is perhaps
the largest collection of art
under one roof. In addition,
the accompanying assign
ment, which is to analyze a
particular work of art, causes
students to become aware of
and familiar with a single art
work."
The instructor also pointed
out that the trip has second
significance, which was
"social." He explained, "The
trip to New York is the first

that although the

is located in a fairly safe sec

converted a few tough guys.
We asked Dr. Price if any
unusual things happened on
previous trips. He said that a
bus totally broke down and he
wondered where forty peor
