For most, the aid remains the same
By Diana Elliot
CM the Emerald
For most financial aid recipients,
the 1983-84 school year should
hold no undesired surprises, ac
cording to University officials.
The only major change is one
that requires some male students
to swear they have registered with
the selective service before they
can receive any assistance.
The controversial Solomon
amendment to the Military Selec
tive Service Act went into effect
this fall. All male students who
were born during or after 1960
and who want to receive
Guaranteed Student Loans, PELL
grants, work study assistance and
all other Title IV financial aid must
provide written proof that they
have registered for the draft in
order to receive the aid.
The bulk of responsibility in im
plementing the new law rests with
college financial aid offices, which
now must present written proof of
compliance in order to process
financial aid requests.
According to Ed Vignoul,
Universtiy financial aid director.
6,017 letters were mailed in
August, informing University
students that they must sign a
statement assuring that they have
registered for the draft.
"We have to comply with the
federal government and that s
that," Vignoul says. "We aren't
about to risk losing financial aid
for 60 percent of our student
population to protest the law.
We'd be out of business."
Vignoul s fears are warranted.
The U.S. education department
has promised to cut off aid to all
colleges that don't comply with
the Solomon amendment.
But Vignoul predicts that few
University students will lose aid
due to the Solomon amendment.
About half of the 6,000 Universi
ty aid recipients are men. Half of
those men are too old to be
drafted, which leaves a rough total
of 1,500 males eligible for both
draft registration and financial aid.
If Selective Service statistics can
be believed, only 5 percent of the
eligible males refuse to register.
Assuming that only half of those
men are in college, then a mere 2
percent oi me i,auu siuaems, or
about 38, would be prohibited
from receiving aid.
Although the Solomon amend
ment *has stirred up opposition at
several college campuses across
the country, Vignoul predicts little
if any resistance to the regulation
here.
"I can't imagine any students
not signing the statement,” he
says. "If they don't sign it, they
won't get any aid. I doubt any stu
dent would sacrifice college just
to protest draft registration.”
Although it's too soon to tell
whether all the letters will come
back signed, Vignoul says the
Solomon act has had no effect on
the number of students applying
for aid.
As for the rest of the financial
aid seekers not affected by the
law, the outlook for aid is un
changed from last year. PELL
grants and state need grants have
risen proportionately to tuition.
And while the number of students
getting aid has remained the
same, the total dollar amount is
slightly higher this year due to
more dollars in the work study
fund.
"I don't forsee any change in
financial aid during the next five
years,” Vignoul says.
"I doubt the government will at
tempt to make anymore drastic
cuts. Congress won't allow it," he
says, referring to the situation two
years ago when the federal
government imposed an earning
ceiling of $30,000 on borrowers.
Those whose families made over
that amount were only eligible for
financial aid under certain
conditions.
"There's basically a lot of bipar
tisan support for students to con
tinue their education," Vignoul
says.
He also points to the wave of
concern for excellence in educa
tion that is rippling through the
country today as a reason for
reluctance on the part of govern
ment to inhibit future financial aid
allotments.
"The government is making
education a big concern. And they
will continue to allocate funds for
financial aid."
Time remains
to sign up 4
for 'Rush'
The opportunity to join a frater
nity or sorority this week has
already appealed to an estimated
600 students. If the opportunity to
experience all the benefits of
Greek living appeals to you, then
there is still time to sign up.
For this chance to visit the 14
fraternities located at the Univer
sity, men need to sign up before
3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 21.
Rush sign-up tables will be in the
EMU Breezeway Monday through
Wednesday. Fraternity rush lasts
until the end of the week and
costs $10 to participate.
Women not yet signed up for
sorority rush can register Thurs
day and Friday outside the EMU
Fishbowl. Since the women will
be going through informal rush,
there will be no cost.

Mary Hotchkiss, ASUO presi
dent, announced the appoint
ment of Sheila Schain to replace

gram Development and Finance.
