Reader State Grant , Studts . Get Most Of 5 3 Million Fifty-three million dollars in federal student aid money came into Pennsylvania this year, and most of it was “captured” for the state’s student grant population because of a special requirement mandated by the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA). PHEAA, beginning in June of 1975, had required that students applying for state funds under the Higher Education Grant Program also file a Basic Educational Opportunity Grant (BEOG) application. Be application. BEOG is a new federal student aid program. PHEAA admininters the state’s student aid program and had made the BEOG application mandatory to ease the pressure on state funds in the grant program. Last year state residents received $7 million in BEOG funds, but filing for BEOG was not mandatory then and the number of eligible students and the size of grants were not significant. Since it becams a require ment it has netted $46 million more to Pennsylvania students"'enrolled in col leges, trade, business and nursing schools throughout the country. About 50,000 students benefitted by using the combination of PHEAA aid and the BEOG program. Another 10,000 Pennsyl vania students who are not participating in the state grant program received federal funds from BEOG. These are about 70,000 state grant recipients who do not qualify foe federal funds due to the rigid income and home ownership eligibility standards. PHEAA’s dual filing requirement became neces sary to ease pressures on the state in private institutions and from $5O to $l4O a year in the state-supported insti tutions for veterans and widows with children in postsecondary schools. A Message From The Provost It is apparent that occasionally we must remind ourselves of what this campus must be. This campus is a part of a great university, and a great university is one of the most profound concepts that has evolved in Western civilization. We are a conservatory of knowledge; we contribute to the generation of new knowledge; and we can only hope that we have wisdom or aspire to it. We welcome all races, ethnic and religious groups to our campus out of a deep sense of equality of men and women and the recognition of merit and not by tokenism or mandates of law. Recently, we have had reports of incidents that can only be described as harassment of some of our black and foreign national students. This is intolerable. We cannot and will not dismiss these acts as college high jinks or just the actions of a few misguided bigots. Such actions do not, of course, reflect the large majority of opinions on this campus, but they do nonetheless reflect on us all. Accordingly, let us all join in eliminating this despicable situation. The surge in the need for aid also arose due to unemployment of parents and difficulty experienced by many students in getting part-time jobs. During the 1974-75 aca demic year the federal government had $l7l million unspent in their BEOG program. Many students applying to PHEAA for state aid during that year could have met federal standards. When it became mandatory to do so this year, the results proved the need for the double-filing requirement. Students were eligible for up to $1,400 in federal money per school year. To help state students get their share, PHEAA mailed BEOG applications to the homes of most students and informed the students how to go about applying for federal money. Because of the capturing of BEOG money—largely used for lower income groups—some state funds were able to be released to offer more aid to the middle income family and to those who sent their children to full-charge private institu tions where tuition is higher. This ties in with Pennsyl vania’s philosophy of free dom of choice. Grants to Pennsylvania students may be used for colleges, business schools, trade or technical institu tions or hospital schools of nursing. Students may attend approved out-of-state institutions or in-state schools. About 124,000 Pennsyl vanians received state grants for the 1975-76 academic year. R.E. McDermott Provost C. C. Beats Out’a Town Turkeys By Ron Baumbach Staff Writer On Tuesday, February 24, the Capitol Campus Lions hustled back from a halftime deficit to defeat Lehigh County Community College 89-79 at Middle town’s Main St. gymnasium. It was the next to the last game of the regular season for the Lions who have compiled a 15-7 record. An early first half surge by LCCC was mainly due to sloppy ball handling and long shooting by the Lions. Trainer was Lehigh’s one man show. He finished with 24 points for the visitors, which gave LCCC a hard earned 37-31 cushion at intermission. The contest boiled down to CC using all players extensively; applying full court zone pressure in an attempt to limit Trainer’s shots. The Lion’s Jim Baker got a hot hand and with. 12:24 remaining, CC successfully tied the game 48-48. The thrill of victory swept over the team as they increased their lead with stubborn certainty. Capitol players Jim Baker and Rich Fry combined for 49 points in the game. Baker scored 23 of his 31 points in the second period. Rich Fry had his total of 18 coming after the intermission. Rebounding played an instrumental role in the come from behind win. Baker, 6’4” and 6’5” Joe Grant dominated the boards in the final period. With the win, the Lions displayed their determina tion that was so evident throughout the season.
