...et al Financial aid deadline nears The deadline is approaching for Oregon resident students who want state financial aid to help complete professional programs in other western states next year. State assistance is available for a number of students who want to pursue professional programs not offered by Oregon’s public colleges and universities. Students must apply for state support by October 15. The Oregon State System of Higher Education offers a variety of professional programs, but others, such as occupational therapy, op tometry, physical therapy, podiatry and public health aren't currently available in state schools. Under the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) Student Exchange Program, the state pays the receiving college or university a support fee, and the student is charged resident tuition if the institution is public or reduced tuition if the school is independent or private. The October 15 state certification deadline also applies to students who want to participate next year in the Oregon-Washington veterinary medicine program. For more information and application forms, write to: Certification Officer, WICHE Student Exchange Program, Post Office Box 3175, Eugene, 97403, or call 686-4141. Students must also apply for admission directly to the schools they would like to attend. To be eligible for admission, students usually must have completed two or more years of pre-professional course work. Docent orientation planned An orientation for potential docents will be held at 9:30 a.m. Tues day at the University Museum of Art. The docent program is open to any person interested in the Museum of Art who would like to become qualified to lead tours of the museum. Last year more than 9,000 students from many communities took part in the Docent Council tours. The orientation meeting, conducted by the Docent Council of the Friends of the Museum, will begin with an informal coffee hour and will include museum tours given by senior docents. Mrs. Lee Brunquist, provisional training chairer, will outline the requirements of the program and answer questions. Training includes a fall lecture series every Tuesday morning in October and November, and a spring series from February through May. ^German reliable service for your foreign car.

Concerning religious groups, the Jewish Temple Beth Israel is not headed by Rabbi Louis Niemand, as reported in the orien tation issue. Since his death last year, Rabbi Neimand has been replaced by Rabbi Myron Kinberg. Rabbi Kinberg can be reached at the Temple, 2550 Portland St. Finally, the Fall Orientation Issue’s list of community books tores inadvertently failed to men tion J.

S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare’s (HEW) Social Rehabilitation Service. Earl Kamsky, project director and a University assistant professor in the School of Community Service and Public Affairs, said the program offers campus courses to professionals employed by social service agencies — located mostly in Lane County — to work with under privileged children. In addition to course offerings, University students in the training program have an opportunity to gain administrative experience holding down intern jobs with various area social service agencies. Kamsky said he expects students to staff the equivalent of about 20 fulltime agency jobs during the 1977-78 academic year. Another project goal will be to develop a handbook outlining health and safety guidelines for persons working with underprivileged children, such as requirements and procedures for reporting child abuse, Kamsky said. Funding from the $40,000 HEW grant starts this month. The project was awarded a $29,000 grant from HEW in 1976, the initial year of operation. PEANUTS?, ^ I JUST LOVE NOVELS ABOUT THE 50UTH!
