"Federal regulations tend to be very difficult to understand so your need a liason," Lane says. When asked about his impressions of Capitol Campus, Lane replied "I remember the rock concerts—l even played at one. I always liked the campus because it has always entertained a high reputation and it certainly is a privilege to work here. It is a nice sized institution, and it's something I feel comfortable with." The most common problem Mr. Lane sees is, "Where someone has received aid in the past and they see drastic reduc- at (717) 774-3230 tions this year and they want to know why. It's a conditioned response-you give something to somebody for a long time; then we take it away and he or she is left with their mouths open. People have to understand that there are massive federal cutbacks," he says. "Federal Aid has undergone major surgery and we're keeping in on life sup port as long as Reagan is in office." Lane advises students to apply for grants and loans as early as possible. The 1983-84 applications will be available January and the deadline for most of those is February 15. Information seminars based on applying for grants and student aid will be available for those students needing assistance. The dates for these seminars will be given later this year.
