As Miss Jennings stated, “The applicant must only be able to demonstrate a need.” “There are some obstacles, however, that must be overcome before you can start counting the money. One is that the applicant must have a cumulative average of 2.0. Another is that the application form is only available in the Spring term between the months of March and late May. If you drive a car there are other requirements that must be met in order to receive the scholarship. The P.H.E.A.A. only grants scholarships to people who have use of cars if: they are student teaching; employed off campus; living off campus; disabled or have a certain hardship case wiiich must be approved on an individual basis by the institution.

Members of the S.G.A. agreed that there are obvious disadvantages to a standardized and computerized form. But if used properly the benefits to such forms could be numerous. Senator Denny Hassler offered some suggestions for improving the system, including the necessity of having to record the professor’s social security number to identify the instructor. He felt that the greatest amount of error was due to the failure of the instructors to follow proper instructions of sending the completed forms to the S.G.A. office. A full report on the problems and possible solutions will be made next week. The most important issue of the evening involved the removal One point: Here on Capitol Campus, coming from Meade Heights to school used to be considered commuting, but due to the fact that the privilege was abused, it no longer is. By now many of you reading this article probably think the scholarship is impossible to obtain. The fact is the good news is yet to come. First, the eligibility of a junior getting the scholarship is higher than that of a freshman because the junior has demonstrated a good academic standing, whereas the freshman ha* not. Secondly, if you are a veteran the chances of receiving the scholarship are better than that of the average student. Miss Jennings wanted to advise all veterans that she has a meeting scheduled for this Thursday with the P.H.E.A.A. people, any veteran who has applied should see her after Thursday to see just where they stand.

Some objections were made concerning the necessity of a 2.33 requirement rather than the standard 2.0. President Terry Wimmer argued that the fact was that such an average was approved by the Senate and Student Body and must be followed. Moreover, the constitution does not stipulate that there can be a probationary period for failure to hold the average. He felt that since the removed Senators could again run when they met the average, little could be gained from a probationary period. The names of proposed nominees to fill the new vacancies must now be submitted to the S.G.A. President for approval. Signs will be posted for those who are interested in the positions. “All The New* That Fit* ....
