THIS WEEK IN THE SGA The Student Government Association on Monday night passed a resolution which would grant one unit of credit for participating as an SGA senator. The resolution was formulated by Sen. Nick Spengler and passed by 17-0 with 3 abstentions. Following is the body of the legislation: In order to perpetiate the high standards of the Student Government, and a continuance to attract concerned students to particpate in their student government through election, the folloWing proposal is being made. "Student Government members serving at least three (3) terms in a satisfactory manner, which constitutes a minumum of 75% attendance and evaluation on participation by the Faculty Advisor, be awarded 4 credit hours, or 1 unit of credit to be used in lieu of an elective at Penn State Capitol Campus. The elective will be designated by the students' advisor PAVE OFFICE SERVES XGIs Central Pennsylvania Vietnam veterans who wish to take advantage of educational opportunities available through the G.I. Bill can now find help through the PAVE (Pennsylvania Program to Advance Veteran Education) center located at Capitol. Three counselors, all veterans who had no interest in higher education when in high school, now are full-time Capitol Campus students and are contacting and counseling recently discharged veterans on how to further their educations. Robert Chaapel, David Miller and Louis Slepetz work from contact lists provided by the Selective Service Office. They phone or visit the newly discharged veterans and inform them of facilities and educational programs for which their G.I. benefits are applicable. The PAVE staff also works closely with the 425 veterans currently enrolled at Capitol Campus who may have problems with scholarship, loans or late V.A. checks. Chaapel explained, "We don't try to sell any one college or program even though we are students at Capitol. We simply try to guide our peers to the school which would be most appropriate for their career goals. "There's a certain distrust of the establishment and today's vet will talk more freely with another vet. A recent Veteran's Administration study revealed that today's veterans are enthusiastic about higher eduction, but many are not knowledgeable in admissions procedures and courses available." The PAVE program has been in existence, statewide, since 1970. It was first established at Capitol Camp‘is in 1969, by Robert Ford, present Director of the State Selective Service, who was then a student at Capitol. Its operations are funded by some state aid and by a federal grant for emergency employment. Programs are administered under the Office of Higher Education. David Kurtz, Regional Coordinator for PAVE reports that Pennsylvania has the third largest number of Vietnam veterans. More than 11,000 men have been discharged in by WW. Bonaker and a pass grade will be entered on the Student transcript." President Mike Dini said the resolution would be forwarded to the Faculty Council for further action. In other news, Dini read an announcement from Berni Boyle who tendered her resignation as Recording Secretary. She said in the letter that she could not fulfill her duties due to other commitments, addikig a belief that SGA has lost much of its intended "purpose." Dini noted that Boyle's position and that of a junior senator at-large are currently open. The President announced the appointment of Jan Marks to fill the senior Math-Science post. He must await formal confirmation next week. Vice-President John Sheridan reported the Spring Dinner/Dance will be held Saturday, May 5 at the Parkview (Cont. on page 4) Cumberland and Dauphin counties since 1964. However, only 29% of these young men have taken advantage of the G.I. Bill. PAVE is attempting to reach the majority who have not taken advantage of these benefits. R.A.
