Two recent activities were termed a success at the last meeting. The dinner dance at the Yellow Breeches turned out to be a good time for all who attended. Also, the Coatesville trip turned out really nice. A total of 18 people from Capitol went to the Coatesville VA Hospitol. Thanks go to the people who went along and provided musical entertainment. As a passing note, with the change in administration at the end of the winter term, it is normal practice for fresh blood to also take over the writing of the XGI Reporter. If there is a Junior out there who would like the job, let me know. You don’t have to be a journalism major to write for the paper BEOG Getting Low On Funds (CPS)—Rumors are flying around hundreds of univer sity financial aid offices this spring as students and administrators alike second guess the future of Basic Educational Opportunity Grants (BEOG). Funding for the three year-old student grant pro gram has fallen so short for this academic year that some 800 colleges which applied for funds have been left in the lurch. Unless Congress decides to appropriate additional funds to the BEOG program for this year, students grants already awarded could be reduced by as much as two-thirds. The BEOG boondoggle is the result of some Office of Education miscalculations which predicted last year that only 56 percent of the students eligible for basic grants this academic year would apply for them. But applications for the federal funds poured into the Office of Education at the MSU Club Chartered The Married Student Union was recently chartered and recognized by the SGA. Activities are being planned to benefit Capitol Campus couples and sin gles, with or without children. An upcoming activity is the Saint Patrick’s Day party on March 17, at 7:00 p.m. in the Meade ; Heights Coffee House. This party in mainly for the kids. Please notify Bobbi Jensen by March 12, if you plan to attend and the number of children you plan to bring. Also, let Boddi know if you can bring cookies or cupcakes. Punch will be provided. Juniors and their spouses are encouraged to become involved in order for leadership to be established in the MSU for the 1976-77 academic year. We are interested in your ideas for new programs and activities. Jom Jensen rate of 40,000 a week last fall and even now are arriving at the rate of 15,000 to 20,000 a week. The 950,000 expected applications jumped to more than 1.2 million candidates. At last count, some 74 percent of the eligible students had applied for grants. Funds were appropriated to the BEOG program last year on the basis of the Office of Education’s pre diction and for the first time in the program’s history, full grants of $l4OO were awarded. The average grant for this year’s recipients was $B3O. The Department of Health, Education and Wel fare (HEW) has asked Congress for $lBO million more for this year’s grants, if necessary taking the funds from another student-assis tance plan, the National Direct Student Loans. But it appears unlikely that Congress will agree to taking from the loan fund and giving to the grants. An alternative resource suggested by HEW is for Congress to borrow the $lBO million from the 76-77 basic grant appropriation, set by President Ford in his budget proposal at only $1.2 million. HALLMARK CARDS STATIONERY GIFTS CANDLES PLANT HANGERS WOODEN WARE Open Thur. & Fri. Eve Opposite The Post Office Middletown C.C. Reader Step Right Up... Ladies? (CPS)—With or without medals, the women who competed in the Olympic winter games at Innsbruck returned to America with certificates to prove they are female. Each of the women contestants in the Olympics was tested at a hospital to find if they have more than their fair share of male characteristic cells. The object is to find strengthening male hor mones in the female competitors. Most employers think twice about hiring people with criminal records. Phone fraud will result in a criminal record. (2) Bell of Pennsylvania Some of the female athletes at the Olympics were outraged and sug gested that men should have to undergo the same test for strengthening agents. But Anna Henning, a gold medalist in the 1972 winter games and now a sports commenator thought it was very funny. “(In 1972) they gave me a certificate showing I am a woman,” she said. “I have it hanging in my bedroom.” Think twice.

Come out and enjoy yourself! Ted Mack Eat Your Heart Out Rivaling the likes of Ben Vereen, Billie Holiday and Harry Chapin, the partici pants in the B.S.U. Talent Night offered a wide array of abilities for the audience’s enjoyment. The master of cere monies for the Feb. 20 event, Troy Buster, elicited encour agement from the audience and even a bit of his own technical ability to keep the show rolling. For two hours, the audience laughed, clapped and at least once, even participated in the action. The range of talents was as varied and entertaining as any extravaganza Ted Mack might have devised. As a result of the response of the audience to the talent show and as a means of raising funds for the Black Arts Festival, the B.S.U. is planning another Talent Show to be held March 26, in the auditorium. An admission fee will be charged. And, this time the show will be judged and cash prizes will be pre sented.
