7?. Dean D. Palmer I gffFif teen members of the Mer-cyhurst College faculty wererecently chosen by Dean DavidPalmer to receive $500 bonusawards for their performances in1980-81. J g

According to Palmer, all full-time fadilty were eligible forbonus awards. They were allcompared on a chart according tothree general?

criteria an dseveral specific areas from thefaculty handbook. The Deananalyzed the areas of teaching ef-fectiveness, scholarly and profes-sional attainment, ana col-lege/community service. BBCTJ

Each area of criteria wa sweighed so that the most em -phasis was placed on teaching ef-fectiveness and the least on col-lege/community service, said

Palmer. &) , SjInformation placed on thecharts was obtained through thefaculty members 1980-81 FacultyProfile. Palmer said that he alsoconsulted the IDEA results for allfaculty members especially thosewho are tenured. The IDEA formis .completed by students whoevalua te: their instructor'sperforms n c e ^ ^ g b ^ <k *

,_ According, to Palmer, th ecriteria for judgment were sentto all faculty members last spr-ing term.

The following faculty memberswill receive their $500 bonusawards in their DecemberPaycheck, stated Palmer: BudBrown, Philosophj^Daniel Burke,Art;- Michael Erisman, PoliticalScience; .

Palmer said that "Bonusawards were made withoutregard to even distributionamong academic departments."

<t Previously the cash awardswere known as "merit p ay," saidPalmer. Money was given to eachdivision chairman to distribute itto faculty within that departmentwho deserved it, he added. *U .

Former Dean John Millar didnot set aside funds for the meritpay to be implemented last year,said Plainer. 3

"I thought it was important tohave merit pay, " he stated, gjjji

For this year, J money wa sallocated * from * the 5president'sbudget for the bonus awards. Theawards were provided for in themost recent negotiations betweenthe Faculty Policies Committeeand the Administration for acul-ty contracts, stated Palmer.

WjpmemAthletes DiscussMaster Plan Draft! I t

A forum was held by MSG onNovember 5 concerning th efuture of women's athletics ac-

cording to the proposed MasterPlan? * |The results i of this meeting

were to be given to the Board ofTrustees so that they-couldreceive the input of the womenathletes involved. ?A&>.The first question addressedwas the movement of women'ssports from the current KeystoneConference to the NCAA, divisionII in the 1983-1984 school year.g Some ^ women in attendancepointed out that* the jump toNCAA, division II wouldfacilitate a more competitive pro-gram for the women athletes atMercyhurst. Janet Price, direc-tor of Women's athletics, com-mented . * V. •'•We are not evenwinning in our conference now."3 Some people voiced concernover the scholarship allotments.Shelley ^ Monas,- currently theHead Coach in women's tennis,basketball, and Softball, stated,"We have the foundation of agood program here. We have tokeep this in prospective |. 3,; "i wouldn't give anyone a freeride," said Manas "I think it ismore important to you when youhave to work for your education."

> The * group agreed thats

thechange of divisions? was perti-nent. However, they questionedthe Master Plan's deferral of theimplementation to the 1983-84season. sWe ar e trying to makethe transition rather than havingus be out in no man's land,responded Price.? "We *want toestablish ourselves In a new divi-sion.'/'This answer was basically

accepted i as sound by thosepresent. g

The Master Plan states that the

Col lege should priori tizewomen's basketball and tennisover £ women's -volleyball an dsoftball.

Price told the participants thatthere were two points of view inthis aspect: a philosophical andpo l i t i ca l o n e . "Ho w ev er ,philosophically we don't like tosee two sports given full attentionand money," sh e said. "We wouldprefer not to see emp hasis on oneor two teams."• Coach Monasdeclared that because "the menwant to be known for those twosports doesn't mean that we wantto be known for those two." >

The women in attendanceagreed that no sport should befocused on more than another.

The section?, dealin g withwomen's crew was deemed to befavorable by the women rowers

in attendance. £ 3Despite the fact that the grouplooked postively at the additionof a varsity women's swim team ,opposition arose at its implemen-tation date in "relation to themen's swim team.-The womenquestioned the reasoning behindstarting the men's team in 1982-83(as a NCAA Division 2), as sug-gested in thecollege draftproposal. f$ t i;

Section N of the proposed plandeals with the hiring of a full timewomen's athletic director coach.However, the women at themeeting felt* this change shouldtake place in the 1982-83 season,not the J1983-84 season. One

All recipients of the bonusaward were notified of the awardin a letter from Palmer dated Oc-tober 28. Other faculty memberswho did not receive an awardwere also notified by letter.

Palmer said that the bonusaward system is " a good prac-tice" becau se "it is just to rewardpeople for work they've donewell."

He added, •*when there are alimited number of awards to giveout it's difficult. I wish therewere more."

Palmer stated that there ar e"many more faculty memberswho are deserving."

George Garrelts, theology in-structor who received a bonusaward, said he feels he earnedthe award because of his workwith the "Films for Discussion"series. He developed the programand carries it out.

Garrelts said the bonus award"was more than justified," but hedoes not nave "any strong feel-ings one way or the other," con-cerning the merit pay system. :

"Some people have strongreservations about it and Irespect those reservations," add-ed Garrelts.

Brian McHugh, chairman ofthe Educational Division, askedDean Palmer to place his $500bonus in a scholarship fund whichmay be started for a specialeducation graduate program.

"It made me more comfortableto remove the money part of itand put it toward good use in theschool," said McHugh.

"I do not b elieve merit or bonusis appropriate for an institutionthis size, he added.

Since Mercyhurst is small, saidMcHugh, faculty members mustcontribute more to the collegecommunity than would normallybe required.

He said he feels merit pay"stifles silent givers." The sur-vival of the college "depends oneveryone giving, he added.

McHugh explained that herespects the Dean's beliefs aboutthe merit system.

"He objectively tried to deter-

mine merit in the fairest wa ypossible," stated McHugh.

Frank Pauze, chairman of thHotel/Restaurant Managemendivision stated that be believehis merit pay was awardedbecause of his role in the HRMprogram development and for hisstrength in the classroom."

He supports the sy s tembecause "there needs to be somesort of merit pay for non-tenuredfaculty." .,

The recognition, said Pauze. ismore important to him tnan themoney. ' *»'

"I think a lot of teachers oncampus who are dedicated to theart of teaching ought to berewarded in some manner," hestated.

Robert Hoff, Director of thePsychology Department, said heis "partial to the concept of meritpay."

In a blatant show of cowed in-competence, the student govern-ment representatives took an ac-tion which defied stan dard policya n d v i o l a t e d t h e i r o w nconstitution.

The November 10 allotment of

four hundred dollars to theOrganizational Management Ma-jors for their trip to New York Ci-ty sets a dangerous precedent inrelation to the student activityfee. In the past, a requirement forreceiving monetary assistancefor an organization's function hasbeen that the function be open tothe entire Mercyhurst communi-ty, j This makes sense as themoney being used comes fromthe student body. However, inthis case, the money will financea trip to New York City for six-teen people in a class. It is notopen to anyone else in the

community. •&? 1)' Further, the majors stated theywould not be willing to take a loansince, through their aboveaverage work and dedication tothe college," they d eserve themoney. The representatives ap-parently accepted tha t absurd ra-tionalization without challenge.No one thought to ask for an exam-ple of the extraordinary servicesallegedly provided, One wondersif perhaps the representatives

were intimidated by the group'sinsinuation that the only hardworking students on campus arethemselves.

Those considerations becomesomewhat secondary in light ofthe co nstitutional violation. Arti-cle 15 Section G states that clubsupport "should not be a projectfor college credit nor a projectwhich should be supported by adepartment. An exception maybe made if the Executive Com-mittee sees the function as a ser-vice to the entire community."

Staff Editorial

Viewpoint]O n concurrence with those sen-timents presented in thet Mer-ciad's Viewpoint ^Master? Planseries, it is necessary to premiseany sort of criticism with thestatement that the Master Plan'sexistence has become a positivemove for Mercyhurst.* . $?£'_pStructure and'vision imposedupon any segment of reality il-lustrates the technique forestablishing truth. However, aswith any work of art, or any at-tempt at creation, the integrity ofthat final physical order and itsmoral/truthful implications begsemphasis.!; & &, $•

In terms of structure, it ap-pears that what the Blaster Planlacks is 1) a clear definition ofwhere one office's power endsand another's begins and 2) a re-statement of the by-laws of theBoard of Trus t ees kwhichdelegates provost power to thepresident. | S

Perh aps th e deficiency of an in-terminable written constitutionoffMercyhurst'sj internal struc-

ture is the crux of a cyclic andtherefore inevitable problem. Butthis problem becomes inherent inan hierarchy where total provostpower is invested in the Presi-dent. Although the pros and consof any internal structure for aninstitution are arguable, this ap-proach has proven, and is stillproving to be an acceptable andvaluable approach to managerialstratums a t Mercyhurst.

What, then, does this mean interm of the Master Plan? *?f

As a document, caution mustbe raised to view the Master Planfor only what it's worm. It is apreliminary document, a plan ofaction, a projection of the future

• £ & - *Plan

Mercyhurstfiveyears down theroad, and it is meant to elicitresponses to those concepts. Oncethosereactions are brought forth,consideration should be given tothem and a formal, final docu-ment, upheld as the laws and/orconstitution of the college underthis presidency, should be drawn

up. Y:W ? % 2

This would eliminate any am-biguities as to which office heldthe final say (excluding that ofthe President) for certain mat-ters.!: It would also check theascendancy and/or descent ofcertain offices' judicial powersby virtue of personality alone.Although one's individual naturecan never be ignored when con-sidering managerial structureand hierarchy, it is not exclusive-ly enough to insure legitimateand balanced operations withinan instution. ~ * jI) O ne vi t a l t r u t h t o Jberemembered here is that man isonly mortal and therefore is atemporal being. If the goals and

objectives established under thisadministration a re deemed wor-thy enough to be carried on, pro-visions must be made through theimmortality of the written wordto compensate tfor the unfor-tunate fate of men. C

Thus lies the 'moral/truthfulimplications of a5stmctural at-tempt such as the Master Plan.

Cults And Sects

Jehovah God's Witnesses: They Do Not

Feed On Blood, They Salute No Flag

The Monday night news carriedthe story of a woman who was inmisery because a judge had

ordered that doctors be allowedto administer blood transfusionsto her nine-day-old baby. That

f kind of story breaks almost dailyin the newspapers, the story of a'Witness of Jehovah who eitherrefuses blood transfusions

jj? themselves or refuses it for theirchildren. Blood and the m anage'

* ment of blood is at the center of3] this religion. jgg | '.feg Witnesses expect the end of the

World to come soon. In tha t cas el i t is better for them, they believe,• to keep the work of God in His Bi-kble then to offend and lose theirt chance of Resurrection, gj;% Where does the Bible say that1 blood transfusions ar e forbidden?

Witnesses of Jehovah interpretthe book ofLeviticus 17:14 to readthat way. That passage reads as

/follows: "I said unto the childrenJ of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of

nomanner of flesh." For JehovahWitnesses that m eans they shouldnot "feed on blood", they shouldnot participate in or allow bloodtransfusions, no matter what themedical circumstances. It is bet-ter to die than to offend. i\ The. problem ^ of Jehovah

Witnesses and of most sects and1 cults is that they are the victims

of amateur biblical wizards andblacksmith type theologians. As

*"" someone once said, when shatterwill go smarter in theology orped l a r wax a med l a r i nphilosophy, when such things en-sue, they do beshrew themselves

at last t £Ji s y t S y *Three such amateurs created

what we now know as The Wat-chtower Society or the W itnessesof Jehovah. I will say this for allthree of them. They are innocent

of any solid biblical, theological,or reugious studies training. Wehave people who are no bettertrained then these men werewriting weekly in the Erie paper,and walking around our campusposing as theological wizards , butat least these people are not try-ing to start world wide religiousorganizations as were Russell,

Rutherford, and Knorr, or arethey?

Charles Taze Russell was the

founder of Jehovah's Witnesses.He sta rted his career inAllegheny PA (Pittsburgh)where he and his father made alot of money selling men'sclothing. His parents werePresbyterian but Charles was aCongregationalist. Then hefollowed N.H. Barbour, anAdventist, who thought the Se-cond Coming of Jesu s was due in1874. Russell predicted 1878, butwhen Jesus did not come Russellbegan to teach that he would notcome physcially but that hewould come in spirit, and in factRussell thought that Jesus hadCome in triumph and in the Spiritin 1878 to begin his millennium(reign of 100 years) on earth.During that millennial reignJesus would overthrow Satan andsubdue all the forces of evil.Among those forces of evil were

all governments, all ChristianChurches, in particular theRoman Catholic Church. ._ -

E Russell died in 1916 and wassucceeded in power by JosephFranklin Rutherford, who wasborn in Booneville, MO., in 1896.Rutherford changed quite a fewideas and emphases in hismanagement of the JehovahWitness religion. He centralizedand theocratized the movem ent

«He*moved **the ""headquarters *toBrooklyn, NY, and began to rulewith an iron hand. Russell hadfeatured the Sabbath and itsobservance but Rutherforddiscredited that idea somewhat.Russell expected the Jews to berestored to Palestine before theend but Rutherford discreditedthat idea also. Russell liked 1878as the date for the spiritual se-cond coming but Rutherford used

.4914 as a more important datethan 1878. Actually, Rutherfordindicated that Jesus would comein person in 1925 but when thatdate passed uneventfully herefused to be specific again andtaught that the end was due atany time -a t a ime known only toGod. The reign? of Jesus had

begun in 1914; that much wasclear. The date of Armageddonwas hidden.

Armageddon is the name thatWitnesses assign to the final bat-tle which will take place on thisearth . The forces of evil will allbe overthrown at that time andthe 144,000 whom Jehovah hasselected for salvation will begathered to God at that time.Other sheep will also be saved,

provided of course that theyBelong to the Witnesses ofJehovah. Just how many that willbe is not clear.

Rutherford died in 1942 and wassucceeded by Nathan HomerKnorr, born 1905, Bethlehem PA .Knorr became a member of theAllentown PA W itness communi-ty at age 16 and had been a fulltune preacher andmember of theheadquarters staff in Brooklynsince age 18.He runs the Witnessorganization, which boasts amembership of millions spreadthroughout the world. Knorr hasbeen responsible for a series ofmindless but effective books suchas The Truth Shall Make YouFree and New Heavens and aNew Earth. Such books areissued anonymously, whichshould tell you quite a bit, butstillthey have a wide readership.(Two out of three, note, are fromPennsylvania).

T h e W i t n e s s e s r e g a r dChristmas as a pagan celebrationand do not observe it. Jesus is notthe son of God in their doctrinalstructure but is the first born ofGod. They refuse to salute theflag ofi any nation since allgovernments, like all churches,are of the#evil one. Since allwitnesses* axe preachers . andministers of Jehovah they claimexemption from all military ser-vice, both combatant and non-combatant. They avoid callingtheir own buildings churches, butrefer to them as Kingdom-Hallsinstead. . .aiSfc a

The bizarre character ofWitness interpretation of the Bi-ble together with the oddmythical and doctrinal structure

theyj have erected is, in myestimation, a) strong argumentfor religious* li te racy andreligious teaching of a more pro-fessional character. When theysay "Millions Now Living WillNever Die" they mean that theyhave millions ox followers soak-ing up this theological mishmash

Erie Group Forms Movement FoThe Erie CARD has voted to adopt the following as a stateme

of purpose and solidarity for the anti-draft movement.We join together as people from many walks of life and politic

perspectives in the Committee Against Registration and thDraft. Our purpose is to oppose military registration, the drafand all forms of compulsory national service in the United State

today. We work toward these goals on the national, state and lolevels and through various forms of public education and politicaction.

We reject re-institution of the draft a s a violation of the basprinciples of freedom. Conscription is a form of involuntaryservitude which disrupts the lives of youth and increases government control over citizens. Already there are those who Want start chipping away at our democratic rights, giving the policthe FBI and the CIA a freer reign, build more prisons and othewise promote police state conditions necessary to the militaristsociety.

Draft registration and conscription are not legislated to defenthe people of the United States. Rather it is a m eans to relievpressure on the government from the poor and the unemployedand to protect U.S. investments abroad from foreign workerdemanding livable wages, safe working conditions, and controover their workspace and governments. Instead of securitenhancement, registration and conscription jeopardize our genuine security , as expansion of the military forces risks inflamininternational tensions. The Vietnam war showed that conscription facilitates foreign intervention by giving military authoritiea blank check on U.S. youth and a guaranteed pool of soldierSecurity is further jeopardized when the increasing risk o

another intervention abroad may lead to a nuclear holocaustConscription is not an isolated wrong but a reflection of thUnited States' increasingly militaristic foreign policy. The providing of arm s and advisors o El Salvador, arms sales to IsraeSaudi Arabia, Sudan, the baiting of Libya, and the spiralin"defense" budget are all reflective of this increasing militarismWe believe tha t U.S. armed forces should be reduced in size, nexpanded to increase their interventionist capability. We believthat in addition to the reduction of forces there needs o be an eto U.S.military aid o he government of El Salvador, Guatemathe Philippin es. South Africa and other oppressive governmentas military aid is the usual first step toward military interventio

M We also strongly condemn the racism,, sexism, and that equaTyfBr woiw^noufa e'xprels USIM fi^qflaTnaDinty o the draf

Being drafted is not a rig ht" to be extended to women. Rathethe draft represents oppression, and we do not support the extesion of this oppression to women. To those who say the draft isresponsibility to be shared by all, we say: It is irresponsible draft women or men o militarily intervene in other countries.Wtherefore oppose the draft for both men and women. .: ,

iCARD encompasses diverse political and economic viewpoinbut we are united in our belief that the current excessive anwasteful level of military spending undermines prosperity fopeople at home and abroad. Arms spending increases taxatiodestroys jobs, contributes to inflation and diverts vital resourcefrom human needs to destuction. The resulting lack of jobs forca disproportionate number of poor and minority youth into th"volunteer" armed forces where they must defend with thelives, a system which offers them no opportunity at home.

WQLN Form er Link T o 'Hurstjj Editors note: J J •" The following article Is one In aseries of papers completed forCommunications 273-A, "Broad*casting In America ". Thestudents who wrote this paper onWQLN Include John Broderick,Donna Peterson, Martha Camp.

On January 7,1975, WQLN FMradio was born.-For the firsttime. Erie, Pennsylvania, cap-tured the new sound which wasfound a t 91.3 mhz on the FM dial.The music, a \ soft, ; classicalmelody which has swayed a ma-jor part of WQLN's programingthroughout the years has beenbroadcasting for Erie County andsurrounding areas for nearlyeight years. ra& J «Ba•WQLN is a member of thepublic broadcasting system andIs part of northwestern Penn-sylvania's network. *

When WQLN first aired itemployed six people. Over theeight years of programming,changes In both programmingand staff have changed ratherdrastically. * I

When WQLN radio first signedon the air in 1973, their program-ming was built around the air

time of their three satellitestudios (located at EdinboroState College, Mercyhurst Col-lege, and the OIC center indowntown Erie). The broadcastday was blocked out so thatshows were aired at the sametime every weekday.

The station day began withclassical music from 6 to 9 a.m.For the next two hours a liveshow from Edinboro State College was sent over the wires to bebroadcast from rWQLNV^Phissatellite show was a combinationo f p o p u l a r m u s i c 1 a n dinformation. J- ^ * *!£?

From 11 a.m. till noon, the sta-tion turned from a public radiostation to the public affairs pro-gram. "Radio Reader" washeard for the next hour, airing asegment of a popular or classical

novel each day. and completingbooks in a serialized format.The second satellite studio,

OIC, aired its program from12:30 to 5 p.m. There was arhythm and blues show, interm-ingled with public affairs spots.At 5 p.m. WQLN broadcast a two-hour network news show, "AllTilings Considered", this wasfollowed by another two hours ofpublic affairs programming.

From 9 to 11 p.m. pre-recordedclassical shows were broadcast..These five shows were taped eachweek at Edinboro (which produc-ed four shows) and Mercyhurst(which produced the other). It

ft The last two hours of the broad-cast day came from MercyhurstCollage. The school sent out a liveprogram called "Night Flight"that originally played classical

music, but later became devotedto jazz.

Over the course of severalyears, WQLN modified its pro-gramming format. This was dueto several factors: the termina-tion of the satellite studios; theaddition of new s to the broadcastday (1978); and the new NPRsatellite signals, which providedfor a flexibility in programmingthat was never before possible.

Today, the the programming Isoriented around news, public af-fairs, and classical/jazz music.

Sign ontilllOa.m.is devoted toclassical music, with the show"Sunrise C lassics." The next twohours of programming comefrom NPR, a news show entitled"Morning Edition", add news isaired for half an hour beginningat noon. jSE 5

j In a new time slot from 12:30 to1:30 is the old show "RadioReader," following' this is "InConversation," a two-hour inter-view/music from 9 to m idnight.

Presently there are over 220National Public Radio (NPR)networks around the UnitedStates. Each station is communi-ty licensed and th majority of sta-

tions are affiliated with collegesor universities. WQLN in Erie isone of the stations which is not af-filiated with a \ col lege oruniversity, " A **

In order to qualify for federalfunds, each NPR station musthave at least five full-timeemployees and must be on the air18 hours a day. WQLN fulfillsthese requirements by employingfive full time employees andbroadcasting 18 hours a day .s*" Members of the NPR networkpay a membership lee and, inturn, receive the/right to airpublic affairs. Along with beingable to broadcast public affairs,they also receive tne right to air

I the news, fine arts programs,classical and jazz music pro-grams, and dramatic segments.Many of t hes e programs

originate from the NPR head-quarters inv. Washington, D.C.while others are products of the

j Extended Program Service.These programs are fed to theNPR stations^by satellite. Na-t i o n a l P u b l i c R a d i o inWashington determines thescheduled t imes for eachprogram. *

Federal funds for NPR stationsare disbursed through a mat-ching grant system. The govern-ment will match funds that areraised by each station through

I memberships and public con-1tributions. WQLN radio, Erie,devotes over two weeks out of theyear to a fund raising cam-paign/membership drive. Ap-proximately 30 to 40 per cent ofWQLN's income is derivedthrough memberships.

While nearly all business andindustries in the U.S. are feelingthe effects of the Reagan budgetcuts , WQLN radio is noexception.

According to Fred M arino, thenewly hired General Manager ofWQLN, financial problems pro-mpted several cuts in personnelat the station. .

On August 31, 1981, 13 peoplefrom both WQLN radio and TVwere fired due to financial pro-blems. One week previous tothese firings on August 24, threepeople who were employed byone of the three corporations ofWQLN were also fired. "

ROTC To Offer College ScholarshipsW A S H I N G T O N , D . C .

(CPS)-The Reserve OfficerTraining Corps (ROTC) andother armed services branches,which Tbegan their campusrenaissance by appealing to stu-dent dreams of adventure andmountain climbing, are changing

jor new fact of college life: ashortage of tuition aid money.

ROTC and ,National Guardunits now invite students to enlistin return for scholarships or low-interest tuition loans that will be-forgiven if students remain in thearmed forces a certain period oftime. The military will start aneven more ambitious ad cam-paign based on student monetary

concerns this month. iRon Owens, • who handlesadvertising for the NationalGuard Bureau, says the new ap-peal includes radio' sports in col-lege towns and prints ads whichwul appear in over 400 collegepapers. 6

The military began stressingmoneta ry inducements •• inAugust, at the same time Presi-dent Reagan signed into law aseries of cuts in federal studentaid programs: 2§ J

Owens believes that, given thetiming of the switch in ad ap-peals, financial aid officersaround the-country are "lookingfavorably" at the new scholar-ship and loan programs, i a

Dana Robertson of AmericanUniversity's financial aid officedoesn't think the majority ofstudents will bite."Loan repayments averageanywhere from $30 to $100 permonth, and if you take into con-sideration what you pay on nor-mal monthly bills, this is not agreat amount," Robertson says.

"There's not enough incentivefor students to enlist," sheconcludes. } *

Yet Lt. Col. Garnett E. Crask ofthe University of Tennesee ROTCnotes that "most" of the studentsjoining at his campus "want totake advantage of the financialbenefits of the program."

"I'drather see these incentives(to enlist) than a mandatorydraft," says Kathy Downey,

A major effort is being made bythe students to figure out how tomotivate both commuters andresident students to attend col-

lege events "The football teamhas yet to be seen by the Mer-cyhurst community at anyevent," said Englert.

Another argument which sur-faced was the concept that themajority of students are at schoolto get a degree and not to get in-volved. "The college needs wildpeople," said Englert.

The committee determinedthat the activities were good.Government President Rich Lan-zillo then questioned the numberof people attending the e vents.

The committee has decidedthat there is a problem in atten-dance. Their goal is to motivatestudents to attend school events.

Military aid programs are inaJact some of the few college aid

this-year. Congress is aUowing

the Army, Navy and Air ForceROTC programs to give out 26,000scholarships this year, up from19,000 last year.

Congress has also mandatedimpressive increases for the Na-tional-Guard. |The new* aidpackages are expected to becomeavailable this month.; *

Under the JArmy National

Guard's three college loan repay-ment plans, a student can borrownearly $16,000 over four years,and then have the loan forgivenafter six years of "satisfactory"service in the Guard or any of thereserves. j» f i i

For example, a student whoborrows $10,000 over four yearscan have $900 of the loan forgivenafter six years of service.! «

Even after one year of service,students can start paying off theloan at the rate of 15 percent ofthe balance of?$500 per year,whichever sum is higher.

Both National Direct StudentLoans and Guaranteed StudentLoans qualify rfor 'repaymentunder the new military plans.

Any student wno qualifies forrepayment can also get into theEducational Assistance Pro-

gram, which can loan the studentup o $1000 per year. *To drive the point home,jthe

"Army National Guard is goingall out to insure that every col-lege student is aware" of the aidbenefits says Lt. E.' Weber, chiefoi the National Guard Bureau.

The new emphasis on moneymatters aims to help push cam-pus enlistment rates over whatalready has been a significantrebirth rate since 1974.

In that year, a low of 63,000students were in ROTC programsnationwide, by 1980-81, the ROTCpopulation had leapt to 106,000. £ i

Because of what she sees as a "Fairly liberal, opminded," community, the Title DC officer hopes to settlissues which come to her attention in a quiet, ndemonstrative way. She urges members of the communitrust that their complaints will be dealt with fairly, and as little fan-fare a s possible.

Particularly impressive inday's outing were two offreshmen, John Green andBerkley. Berkley -providegooding scoring threat plucan rebound and handle thewith the best of them. Thbounding in particular willvide alot of relief for last yworkhorse Greg Becker. Gwas absolutely fantastic apumped in 22 points on a vaof jump shots.

backcourt as a freshman. while we are .talking aboutpressive I'd like to mentionname Darrell Grafius. Daplayed very well Friday nand if he develops, it couldbig plus for,the Lakers.
