NINE ture at The Pennylvimia State University, beginning with the 1969 Fall Term, Dean Russell E. Larson, said. He pointed out that at least four more disadvantaged stud- ents will be assisted in each of the three succeeding academic years as well Each student, Dean Larson added, will be assured of the basic financial assistance he may need if he maintainsacademic' standards for continuing enroll ment in college and until he reaches the educational goal. This goal may be a four-year baccalaureate program, two-year associate degree curriculum, winter course, or short course. Many faculty members already have indicated their willingness to serve as tutors and advisors, so that any of these students who need remedial instruction or supplemental academic help in starting their college educa tions can be given this kind of educational assistance. Dr. Jerome K. Pasta, associate dean for resident education, will supervise this academic program for college-age youth, which will require intensive identification and recruitment of potentially disadvantaged young people who sincerely wish to gain an educa tion and become gainfully em ployed after completion. of their college careers. Assisting Dr. Pasta in recruit ment on a part-time basis will be Dr. William L. Henson, ad junct assistant professor of agri cultural economics, who will tra vel throughout the Commonweal th to interview applicants for need and admissibility. To underwrite the program, fund's will be made available from several sources: college scholarship funds, grants from the agricultural students assist ance fund, wage monies for em ployment of students on an hour ly basis by various departments, and loans from college loan funds. A maximum of $36,000 annual ly can be made available from these resources to initiate and continue assistance for these de serving students, Dr. Pasta com mented.
