DECEMBER, 1969 OREGON STATE EMPLOYEE’ NEWS Page 9 OSEA Scholarship Applicants Face M ar. 1 Dead'ine Students who want to apply for an OSEA scholarship or grant-in-aid for the 1970-71 school year have about two and one-half months left in which to submit their appli cations. The deadline is March 1. The program is open to any OSEA member or an im mediate member o f his family who is a resident o f Oregon. The sponsoring chapter must contribute to the scholarship fund in order for the applicant to be eligible for an award. To apply, each applicant must submit two forms—an OSEA certification form and a scholarship application form. The certification form may be obtained from local chap ters or from headquarters. It must be completed and re ceived at OSEA headquarters, 1515 State Street, Salem, 97301, no later than March 1. The scholarship application form, issued by the State Scho larship Commission, may be obtained at any high school or college in Oregon. It must be received by the State Scho la rs h ip Commission, 1445 W illam ette Street, Eugene; 97401, no later than March 1. Two types of awards are made under the program - scholarships and grants-in-aid. Both are awarded on the basis of scholastic achievement and financial need. Scholastic achievement is given more importance in se lecting scholarship recipients; financial need is given more weight in determining grant- in-aid recipients. The monetary amount of both scholarships and grants- in-aid range from $200 to $400 per year, payable one-third each term or one-half each semester. The number and amount of the annual awards depends upon the total amount of the fund. Recipients may attend any a cc re d ite d institution, in- including private schools and out-of-state schools. Responsibility fo r selecting recipients and determining whether the award w ill consist of a scholarship or grant-in-aid rests w ith the State Scholarship Guards Given Salary Hikes FLAGS FOR V IE T N A M HarrV Lazarus, president o f OSEA's Capitol Chapter 19, gives Secretary o f State Clay Myers a check fo r $39.66 donated by the chapter. The money w ill be used to purchase Oregon flags, like the one shown, fo r servicemen in Vietnam. It is the chapter's second purchase of flags for Oregon servicemen. Chapter 19 Buys Flags For Oregon Servicemen The 3 0 0 members of OSEA's Capitol Chapter 19 have made their second contri bution to the Oregon State Flag Fund. A check for $39.66, enough to buy six flags, was given to Secretary o f State Clay Myers by President Harry Lazarus. Myers, who handles the flag fund, said that requests from Oregon servicemen overseas have been so heavy that the fund may be exhausted w ithin six months. He said his office has mailed an average o f 65 state flags a month to Oregon servicemen, principally in V iet nam, since early last summer. The flag fund was es tablished in 1966 through a private donation to provide free state flags for Oregon men serving in the armed forces overseas. Both the 1967 and 1969 Legislatures appropriated funds to supplement donated money. Myers said the appropri ation that was intended to cover the current biennium has been one-third expended since July 1. Cost o f a 2' x 3' flag is $6.61. The 3' x 5' flags cost $8.90. Postage is extra. Any one wishing to donate to the flag fund should make his check payable to the Oregon State Flag Fund and mail it to Room 121, State Capitol, Salem, 97310. Myers has received stacks of le tte rs fro m servicefnen thanking him and such groups’ as Chapter 19 for the flags. Some typical comments: "O n one of these trips I saw an Oregon flag flying proudly above a tent occupied by Marines guarding a bridge. You don't know the pangs o f home- sickness that went through rrie‘ when I saw that flag." The Corrections Division has given one-step pay raises to 22 more correctional officers a t th e P e n ite n tia ry and Correctional Institution. That brings to 53 the number of guards who have received salary hikes in the last tw o months. OSEA staff member Donald A. Beninger worked w ith Amos E. R e e d , assistan t ad ministrator of the Corrections Division, and H oyt C. Cupp, superintendent o f the Peni tentiary,. on the pay problem. He said it came about when the correctional officers' salary range was reduced from six to four steps last spring. The action was taken because the institutions couldn't hire em ployees at the tw o , bottom steps. As a result new employees were hired on the old third step (now the first step) and, after serving their trail service period, were as high in the salary range as employees w ith up to 18 months' service. " I have placed it in the tent where I live and it is a most welcome addition to a rather drab (until now) place of dwelling." " I received my Oregon flag today and I just can't put in words how grateful I am. She sure is beautiful." Reed said the Corrections D iv is io n had no special appropriation to grant the in creases. "We really had to tighten our belt to do it," he said. Besides Chapter 19, some other OSEA chapters that have contributed to the fund in the past are Marion Chapter 18, Agriculture Chapter 26 and Motor Vehicle Chapter 86.
