PaKe 2 By Judi Hetrick Faculty Affairs Editor Lending sympathetic ears to student proposals, Board of Trustees' committees took action on five issues last week-end- . Following a WCSA recommendation, the Facilities Committee asked University Architect C. Curtiss Inscho to draw alternative plans for a proposed new gym. The Administration was asked by the Facilities Committee to work on plans for the improvement of Sanborn Hall. Sophomore Stuart Carter told the group the building was structurally sound, but lacked an adequate interior. The Organization Committee of the trustees will study the possibility of placing students in voting capacities on the Student Affairs, Academic Affairs and Facilities Committees of the Board. This proposal was originally presented by students to the Student Affairs Committee on Friday. Action on the Union remodelling proposal is expected at the Facilities Committee meeting on April 13. Junior Rick Jones summarized the Union Committee's report, stressing urgency in making the Union "a comfortable campus living room." The Organization Committee and WCSA will work on review procedures for the election of the Senior Class Trustee, in response to a report from Carrie Thomas, Senior Class president, to the trustees' Student Affairs Com: mittee. Over 30 students met with three Board committees (Student Affairs, Facilities and Academic Affairs) that held informal student sessions last week-end- . Although not required by guidelines set for the recently established student sessions, all committees reported student concerns back to the full Board. (In the past, students have met regularly with only the Student Affairs Committee.) Six students meeting with the Facilities Committee spoke on the new gym and Union remodelling plans. Gym Plans 'Obsolete' Junior Paul Kaliner, WCSA member (CSA), called the current gym plans obsolete and said the proposed facility would not be comparable to those of similar Ohio colleges. Seniors Jack Keith and Mike Portnoy presented a petition with 450 signatures to the committee asking the trustees to "spare" the Union bowling alleys. Portnoy said the Union Committee's remodelling plans give the lanes "bottom priority." The lanes have more campus interest than anything else in the Union, he added. Approximately 15 attended the hour-lon- g students session with mittee. the Student Affairs Com- Visitation Questioned Senior Chris Kloth, trustee-elec- t, asked the committee to reconsider the - housing policy which requires parental consent in choosing visitation hours.

Junior Tom French reported for the Union Committee on remodelling. Students' role in academic governance again headed the list of concerns brought by 11 students to the Academic Affairs Committee. (Students met unofficially with this committee last October.) Junior Judi Hetrick, co-ordina-t- or of the group, said, "Student concerns are now in the area of academics, where the faculty holds sole power." Junior Scott Livingston asked the trustees to consider what their role as members of the Academic Affairs Committee should be.The committee said the issues he raised would be discussed next term.

Fraternities By John Glascott Although pledging increased slightly, some feel this year's fall rush experiment inconvenienced OWU's fraternities. Deferred winter rush will probably return next year, if Interfraternity Council (IFC) President James Bowie gets his way. Bowie, a junior, said he will support the switch to deferred rush. The deferred system, used the three years prior to this year, schedules formal rush and pledging for the first week of winter term. Bowie's proposal needs the approval of IFC's seven-membe- r cabinet and WCSA. Bowie said he is optimistic about WCSA passage since IFC proposals are seldom blocked. Under fall rush this year, pledging occurred the seventh week of the term. Each fraternity was permitted to take a maximum of 20 pledges fall term and 15 more during the rest of the year. In an attempt to bolster pledging, IFC set March 3 as another pledge day. The houses will open for formal rush Feb. 28. Dave Amirault, coordinator of fraternity affairs, said another pledge day is planned for the spring, but no date has been set. Bowie called the present in- - Trustees Study A special committee was established last week-en- d to study the feasibility of direct press coverage of Board of Trustees meetings.

WINTER n Find Fall Rush Inefficient formal fall rush system "really raunchy." He said the system puts a financial strain on fraternities because they have to bear the cost of rush parties all fall. He added that over Christmas vacation new pledges sometime "lose interest in the house and the house loses interest in them."

Now, more than ever, the individual whose choice is based not on financial considerations but on the"intangi-ble- " merits of an institution, is fortunate. In 4 coming years Morehouse the financial aid picture at small private colleges like Ohio Wesleyan will begin to shrink because of change in the economy. In his report to the Board of Trustees last Saturday, University President Thomas Wenzlau" em- - Amirault said he prefers the deferred system over fall rush. The current system prevents "block pledging," he said, because freshmen are not yet well acquainted. He added that grade problems develop because "actives have to rush all term," and freshmen pledge just before finals.

Young announced that the Endowment Fund Drive forecasts a $50,000 favorable result for this year, and was "in pretty good shape" at the end of January. The Committee on Institutional Discrimination, headed by Paul Dahlquist, assistant professor of anthropology, told the Student Affairs Committee that several recommendations, including one to the Athletic Department, have been offered and some phasized that in the seven years between 1965 anTl 1972, the cost of college increased 50 per cent while the cost of financial aid rose an astounding 131 per cent. OWU's financial aid packet falls into three categories: scholarships and grants, loans and part-tim- e work grants. Through a combination of federal, state and University funding, these programs benefit over 53 per cent of the student body. Each area of financial aid has its own funding source. The Financial Aid Office estimated $1.3-millio- n will be spent this year for grants and scholarships alone. The sources are: OWU scholarship endowments (private donations) $150,000; University Income ' (Budget) $800,000; Gifts (earmarked for scholarships) $185,000, Federal Government (Education Opportunity Grants) $75,000; State Government (Ohio InstructionarGrants) $130,000. Must "Need" Grants This grant money is awarded to students who show need and academic potential. In most cases the student is expected to reach and maintain a certain academic level. The $263,000 in loan money projected for this school year comes from two primary sources. One appears to be in the process of being dephased; the other has serious limitations on its ability to assist students equally. Since the Sputnik scare in 1957, the Federal government's National Direct Student Loan Fund has been the primary watershed for loan money to colleges and universities. Last year OWU received over $170,000, interest free, to be used while recipients were still in school. Yet this source of aid may have run dry; President Nixon's new budget allots nothing for this loan fund. What the administration hopes will fill the gap is the Federal Insured Loan Program, initiated in 1969. This program functions through local banks, with the i Hours: A's BARBER SHOP Haircut $2.00 Afro $3.00 Under 14 $1.75 Ladies $ ?

The program assists families incomes of less than $15,000. Loans Don't Come Easy with The major flaw in this program lies in the initial acquisition of money. A student must find a local bank willing to loan the money, and for poor folks this is much easier said than done. Banks are interested in receiving a return on "investments" and may hesitate to loan money under less than conditions. ideal There is another new source of loan funds, but the program is limited. The Basic Opportunity Grants Program (BOG), stands on the premise that everyone is entitled to higher education to the tune of $1,400 per family per year. The program is underfunded however, primarily because it is not only intented to aid . students in colleges and universities, but also in trade and vocational schools. Hence, a $622-millio- n pie initially cut 2,000 ways (to include only colleges and universities) is now divided into 8,000 slivers. The problem is complicated by what Wenzlau calls the program's uncertainty. No pilot studies have been authorized to determine the effectiveness of the BOG. Trustee Support This creates another problem, in that Ohio Wesleyan must know how much money is available for prospective freshmen and students already on aid. Last Saturday, the trustees authorized the Financial Aid continue its current Office to program, although OWU may be affected by curtailment of federal funds to both the Federal Direct Students Loan Fund and the BOG. At present the situation is grave and uncertain for those most affected. Wenzlau said he did not fault Nixon's policy, only the "poor management" that characterized planning of the new programs. 29 W. WINTER Ph. 369-305- 0 TREAT SOMEONE SPECIAL!
