    SPORTS SCHOLARSHIP PLANNED
S.G.A. is now in the process of
implementing a scholarship program
for athletes. Although no definite
action has been taken, here are pro
posals suggested by the committee con
sisting of Ron Batchelor, Carol De Armeii
Coach Sweeting„ and Mr. Onorato:
.The scholarship will cover one
term's tuition s that is $l3O. This will
apply to the winter term only.
Money will come from the traffic fine
fund. $9OO. has accumulated in this fluid
in the last couple of years.
$4OO of this money will probably be
used to provide three scholarships
for winter term 1968, The Booster Club
may elect to match this amount, and then
six scholarships may be given.
Selection will probably be based on
need, athletic ability, the recommenda
tion of Sweeting and Onorato, scholar
ship of at least 2.0, and the possible
approval of the Behrend committee on
Student Aid. The committee also felt
that scholarships should go to some
non-athletes contributing much time
to other organizations. Dean lane
wet-blanketed the suggestion, saying
it is in "poor taste.'
Temporarily, at least, only
athletes are being considered for this
money.
Coach Sweeting hopes the money will
help persuade local students to consider
Behrend. He wants the type who is a fine
athlete as well as a good student; some
one who will contribute to clubs as well
as sports.
Anyone having any opinions about
this program can appear mt an S.G.A.
meeting or write a letter to the editor.
