Resnik, one of three mission specialists aboard, became the second American woman in space, after Sally Ride, on a 1984 mission aboard the shut tie Discovery. She was a class'. cal pianist and also the first Jewish astronaut. Resnik trained on the shut tle's robot arm; on the 1984 flight, she used It to delicately break away a chunk of ice that had formed on the side of the spacecraft.

"We are establishing the mechanisms with which to fight even harder in the next few years," she said. "Next year, student interest will be a lot higher when we'll actually be able to see the missing dollars, and we expect to be a lot more successful." Raphael said the GRC urges students to get involved by writing letters to legislators stating they are University students and expressing their concern about the reduction in aid. "It's a painless task students can just write to their legislators and state their feelings about cutting student aid," she said, adding students can also telephone legis lators but writing is more effective. Boyd said when cuts get larger in the future, the reductions could affect enrollment in colleges and universities. "There's no way to measure right now if the 4.3 percent (cuts) will affect enrollment. It could have an impact on certain students in a very narrow band not being able to attend school," he said. At the present time those involved in the project are owners of business es, members of Historic Bellefonte Inc., government, civic, organiza tions, and the community at large, he said. Through promotion, Bellefonte wishes to become an attractive place for shoppers and businesses to locate, Clark said. "Our goal is an economically viable downtown area and we're playing off Bellefonte's historical heritage," said Clark. In order to solicit interest in the design aspect of the project, financial incentives will be offered when the project enters its second year in June, he said. "A Design Challenge Grant of $l,- 000 will be offered on a first-come, first- serve basis for the design of store fronts. If it costs a store owner $l,OOO to fix up his store front we will match up to half of that with $500," Clark said. He said persons are awarded funding based on the de signs proposed. Another financial incentive to get business owners to renovate their store fronts is to establish low inter est rates for loans. "We want to involve the local banking community and have them offer attractive inter est rates through The Main Street Project," he said. The final point of the approach is economic restructuring. This is ag gressively recruiting new businesses to expand where there is a needed service or product in the commercial district, Clark said. A town meeting will be held tomor row at the Centre County Courthouse concerning the project. A slide pre- sentation will be shown and the four points will be explained. "The goal of the meeting is to make people more aware and to ask them to join us in our efforts," Clark said. Although state funding for the pro _ ject ends in three years, Clark said they could continue the renovation through community efforts.
