Students helping students is the concept behind the peer
counseling program to be offered by the Office of Student
Aid (OSA).
The student-staffed program will offer information and
advice on an informal basis to students with questions
about financial aid.
Rick Glazier (12th-foreign services) said the program
is based on the idea that students more readily seek ad
vice from other students than from administrative of
ficials.
Students will be trained' by the OSA to become more
familiar with the different types of aid programs. The
student positions will be funded through the college work
study program, said John Brugel, director of student aid.
The peer counseling program will run on an ex
perimental basis for four consecutive terms, Brugel said,
beginning with Summer Term 1977.
After four terms, the program will be evaluated.
Sondta Olsen ( graduate-counselor education and student
personnel), who is presently interning in the OSA, said if
the program proves to be successful, the OSA may decide
to carry it over on a regular basis.
Olsen said students desiring to apply for staff positions
may request the positions on their work-study job ap
plications in the OSA. Two full-time positions are
available for the summer, Glazier said, and possibly
three part-time for the fall. Only students / receiving
college work-study funds may fill the positions.
Enthusiasm and dedication to the program will be two
major qualities the OSA will be looking for during in
terviews for the positions, Olsen said.
The student counselors will go through an intensive five
level training program before they will be qualified to
work in an actual counselor capacity, Olsen said.
During the first level of training, the students will learn
i basic information about all of the different types of aid,
Olsen said. The students will also learn the different basic
aid, application procedures, information on -University
billing and referral procedure as well as procedures for
aid package adjustments and need-based awarding, she
said.
Student counselors will take self tests before passing on
to the nexf level, Olsen said.
At level two, the students will use the information
learned at level one in role playing situations, she said.
They will be addressed questions commonly asked by
students, and their answers will then be compared to
written suggested answers, Olsen said.
Level three will require the students to be tested orally
by the heads of the different aid departments in OSA,
Olsen said.
An integration of all the material learned in the first
three levels will be used to further test the knowledge of
the student counselors at level four, she said.
At level five, the students will function as counselors at
the front desk of OSA under the supervision of the other
counselors, Olsen said.
Olsen said, an additional level has been added to en
courage the students to develop work shops and projects
to expand the program.
The students must go through the intensive training,
Olsen said, to make sure they fully understand financial
aid and give correct information to students and not
misinformation.
The concept of the peer counseling program began in
Washington D.C. The National Student Lobby wrote and
sponsored an amendment to the college work-study
program. The amendment required over 3,000 schools
participating in the work-study program to hire a certain
number of students to work in the capacity of student
counselors.

WASHINGTON (UPI)
The Senate Budget Com
mittee yesterday targeted a
$458.8 billion federal budget
with a $63.2 billion deficit for
the next fiscal year ,
. and set
revenues to accommodate
President Carter's proposed
$5O tax rebate.
The committee voted 11-1 to
approve its fitscal 1978 budget
resolution which included
target revenues of , $395.6
billion: Sen. S. I. Hayakawa,
Ft-Calif., cast the dissenting
vote.
The figures must be ap
proved by the full Senate,
then ironed out with com
peting totals adopted by the
House Budget Committee
which is seeking $462.3 billion
in spending, $398.1 billion in
revenues, and a $64.3 billion
dificit.
Both the House and Senate
are expected to take up their
separate budget resolutions
sometime during the, week of
April 25.

Working in shirt sleeves
and taking each major func
tion of' government one by
one, the committee managed
to chop $2 billion from its
original $65.2 billion deficit by
cutting a varlet' of their
earlier totals.
The final Senate figures
reduced Carter's 'proposed
$111.9 billion defense budget
- . 7 which the committee had
voted to retain on Tuesday
by $3OO million.
Chairman Edmund Muskie,
D-Maine, pushing to reduce
the deficit figure belOw House
total, declared at one, point,
"We seem to have developed
a habit of $6O billion deficits.
The country is going to begin
to wonder what this budget
process is all about."
Earlier, the committee
approved a $19.8 billion target
budget for .the Veterans
Administration, $7OO million
above' the administration's
requests.
By a party line 9-6 vote, the
committee defeated a
Republican effort to lower the
revenue figure to $386.5 billion
to accommodate a perma
nent tax cut the GOP plans to
offer in the Senate when the
tax bill is taken up later this
month.
However, Sen. Bennett
Johnston, D-La., who said he
was-"not married to the $5O
rebate," observed that-if the
Senate rejected the rebate
and passed a tax cut,
Congress could amend its
budget resolution later and
adjust its totals.
