STETSON DIRECTOR'S VIEWS Student Financial Boos Seen In New Program The work • study pi'ogram under the Economic Oppoi-tunity Act of 1964 will knock down the financial barrier now facing qualified students wanting to enter Stetson University,, according/to Ken- Phillips, Stetson's financial aid director. "The financial barrier, until now, has kept more qualified students from entering Stetson than any others single factor," Phillips said. "Under- the new program, nojprospective-.quall- fied student will be turned down because of lack of- finances." Phillips said: "About 150 students are now borrowing up to $1,000 a year to enroll here. Many of these are going into service occupations such as teachers, public health workers and social workers, and it's very difficult for them to pay off the loans in the alloted time in these fields. The work-study program will take a lot of pressure off the students, thereby encouraging them to enter career fields to upgrade the standard of living in their future home communities. AID TOTAL Currently about 40 per cent of Stetson's 1,600 students get some form of financial aid from funds allocated by the' government, through the University, or from private sources. The total financial aid from all sources expected to help Stetson students next year is estimated to be over a half million dollars, Phillips said. "The University has applied for about $25,000 in student, aid under the new .work-study program for the Spring semester," Phillips said. "The size of the student's work-study grant depends on his talents and 'academic potential, as well as his financial need." To be eligible for work-study programs, the student must prove financial need as reviewed by the University's.financial aid committee; work for the University when "the work will result in an expansion of the student employment programs; or work for" a public or private non-profit organization when the worfc! is related to the student's educational objective, or the work will be in the public interest and not otherwise provided, and the work will not displace employed workers. FLEXIBLE RULES "As we understand it now, these rules are flexible .and each proposal will be reviewed according to criteria established by the Federal lending agency," Phillips said. "A special criteria under the Act is for the Univer' sity to participate in a Community Action Program to upgrade the cultural level of the community." He said: "Several plans to utilize student parttime helpers locally have been submitted. A few are expected to be implemented in the very near future. We , encourage local .citizens to offer, suggestions, as to how students could be used in public, non-profit organizations to help the community as a whole." Part-time employment under the work-study program is defined, as .a student working not more than 15 hours in any, week in which classes are in session, or for not more than 40 hours in any other week. In order to receive allowances under the program'for student help in private non-profit organizations, the University must enter into an agreement with the organization, with the objectives of the reciprocal agreement approved by the Federal government. The major, thrust of the Economic Opportunities Act work- study program will be the identification and recruitment of students with-potential ability—-to succeed in college, and who come from low-income families, Phillips said. Of the estimated $54 million for distribution to institutions of higher learning in the United States next year, Florida is expected to get about $1,463,000. The Commissioner of Education will, to the extent feasible, give preference to applications which provide for employment of eligible students in Community Action Programs, according to Phillips. Everything! Free On Relief Night By SAM GLADDING On Friday night, Feb. 5 the Stetson Union Board will sponsor "Economic Relief Night."

Economic Relief Night is planned for YOU! It will cost absolutely nothing and. it is hoped that everyone will come and enjoy themselves. Books Needed Teaching English at a college preparatory school, I hope to set up a reserve shelf of college texts for students planning to enter college. The books I need are Sound and Sense, Story and Structure, Readings for CoUege Writers and any related to English and American Literature and written composition. If you have any of the above and no longer need them, I promise to put them to good 'use. Their condition is unimportant; if they can be read,' I can use them. Please leave any books in Emily Hall, Room 17, or with Bev Finney Richards.
