isrift’Q The Other-Paper Loans Delayed For Fall Semester President Nixon’s recent signing of the next Higher Education bill will result in many changes in the Federal and State Financial Aid Programs. The National Defense Student Loan in which the student must pay 3% interest beginning nine months after finishing his education no longer contains the 10% teacher’s cancellation clause. The 15% cancellation incentive will be continued for teaching in special education and some inner city schools. The 12.5% can cellation for military service is ap plicable only for combat duty. These changes will go into effect on loans obtained after June 30th, 1972. Loans granted before this date will be governed by the old bill. , Although the National Defense Student Loan Program has been continued, the committee charged wih allocation of funds for the program has made no ap propriation for the 1972-73 fiscal year. Although the financial aid of fice is making awards, those awards are contingent upon receipt of funds from Washington. A letter to your congressman and one to the Commissioner of Education, Marland Sidney might help ex pedite receipt of funds, according to Sue Miller and Gloria Buttaglia, financial aid counselors at the College. The New York Higher Education Assistance Corporation loan has also undergone drastic changes. The Financial Aid Office is now responsible for determining student need on each loan. Parents are expected to include their con tribution on the student budget. As of June, 1972, all loan ap plications will include a sup plementary need analysis form which will be available from the Financial Aid Office as soon as they are received from Albany. In cases where the Financial Aid Of fice determines no need and the student still wishes to take a loan, the student must pay the 7% in terest while in college. A student will be required to pay the lending institution an annual fee of .5% for the amount of the loan based on the expected date of separation; This will be collected when the funds are disbursed to the student. New York Higher Education Assistance Corporation funds will not be disbursed before August 15 th. Many students have expressed shock at their repayment schedule 'after leaving college. The Finan cial Aid Office urges all students who will be receiving financial assistance to study the repayment schedule below: Number Minimum Amount Monthly of Years Payments Borrowed Payment Mo. (Yrs.) 1,000 $36.43 30 (2-1/2) 2,000 39.60 60 (5) 3,000 45.28 84 (7) 4,000 50.30 108 (9) 5,000 69.66 120 (10) 7,500 87.08 120 (10) Registration News Student course request cards were processed and compute schedules mailed to approximately 1700 students this summer, accor ding to Shirley B. Singer, College Registrar. The 1700 students, all of whom had been advised and had paid their tuition deposits last May, were informed that they could complete the registration process by mail if they so desired, by making full tuition payment by August 11 th. The purpose of the mailed registration process is to avoid the long and often frustrating lines which have plagued past registrations. Students who have received their schedules in the mail but who have not paid their full tuition by August 11, will have to bring that schedule to registration bn August 30, and pay their full tuition at that time, the August 30 registration will be held at the Midtown Plaza campus, 3rd floor, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Law Enforcem ent Education Program is intended for Police Science Students. The loan (7% interest begins six months af ter finishing college) is only for full time students. The student that actually enters law enforcement is eligible for a 25% cancellation per year of service. The average amount loaned is $410 per semester which includes tuition, books and transportation. A need analysis is required if a student ap plies for more than the above amount. First priority is given to returning Law Enforcem ent Education Program students if they reapply. Only then are new students considered. LEEP Grants are available to police Officers for tuition expenses. Students who have applied should have received their budget and must return the enclosed post card by August 1, 1972. Ap plications and Parent Confidential Statements can be picked up at Midtown Plaza, 3rd floor, or call 477-7800 or 477-7580. The Financial Aid Office will remain at Midtown Plaza until the Student Center is completed. 'Students relax during a “ tree hour.’ Student Parking a Problem at Midtown Campus Students without programs must contact their advisor to make an appointm ent for August 25. Registration for those students will be on August 30 in the Midtown Auditorium. Those unable to obtain full schedules, or who need to drop or add a course should report to the student lounge, 3rd floor, Mid-' town Plaza, the week of Sept. 1-5. Registration for non m atriculating and part-tim e students will be held in the Mid town Auditorium on September 1. ALL STUDENTS MUST HAVE A COPY OF THEIR SCHEDULE AND TUITION ADMISSION TO CLASSES, WHICH BEGIN ON SEPT. 5. Although parking will pose no problem at the spacious Onondaga Hill Campus this fall, students who drive to the few classes still being held at Midtown Plaza will have some difficulty finding a place to put their cars. The parking situation at the downtown location is very critical, with no relief in sight. Until this year, the Student Senate was able to alleviate the student parking problem by ren ting lots from private construction companies and in turn, renting in dividual spaces -at cost - to students. But those parking areas which once literally surrounded OCC have disappeared. In their places are trees, sidewalks, stone patios, all part of Syracuse’s beautification program. The hugh Holiday Inn Parking lot, just one block from the Midtown Plaza campus has served notice that student cars are not welcome, and Lunch (?) at the Hill Campus The majority of classes will be held on the Onondaga Hill Cam pus. Classes held at the Midtown campus include laboratories for Biology, Physics, Chemistry and Geology and all Technologies, Nursing and Dental Hygiene classes. Eating facilities will be sparse until the Student Center opens sometime in late fall, according to college officials. With this in mind, students and faculty may wish to bring their lunch or plan to travel off campus for their mid-day meal. The facilities now available on campus consist of a small number of beverage machines located on the first floor of the Library Building, and a t larger but still limited food machine and eating area located in the Service and Maintenance Building. The College administration is currently looking into the feasibility of hiring a food truck to service the students and faculty and there is a search underway to provide at least a place for large numbers of college people to eat their lunches on campus. The lunch problem, like many, others, is the result of phasing out the old facilities at Midtown Plaza, to the new and as yet unfinished facilities at the Onondaga Hill Campus. There are adequate eating facilities at the Midtown Plaza campus. PLACES TO EAT NEAR OCC RESTAURANTS Cosmos Pizza - Western Lights Plaza; Carrols - Western Lights Plaza; MacDonalds - Western Lights Plaza For those o f you who prefer liquid lunches! Velasko Inn - Velasko Rd.; Poor House West - Western Lights Plaza will be towed away. There is on-street metered parking in the immediate vicinity of Midtown Plaza. This method of ten turns into a bizzare game of musical meters however, and all participants should allow at least 15 minutes to play. One small visitors’ lot is located on the cor ner of Water and Almond Sts. Parking there costs 20 cents for the first hour and 15 cents for each ad ditional hour. For students who don’t mind walking a few blocks, the best bet may be to secure a season pass for one of the numerous commercial lots located in the city of Syracuse. Students should take an hour or so before classes begin in the fall to purchase their spaces. Parking regulations for the new campus have not yet been finalized, although it appears that some form of registration will be required for all vehicles. ' The best bet of all may be to forget the car completely and take the bus. Busses will be running on a regular basis to both campus locations.
