N.C. Schools Cut Back On
Out-Of-State Students
By Johnny Thompson
There was supposedly a
dispute over scholarships in
the Student Financial Aid Office concerning students from
New York and New Jersey.
Dalton declared that, "Those
students have been 'phased
out' under the Grandfather
Clause Act. North Carolina
has a reciprocate agreement
whereby they are cutting back
on out-of-state students."
The New Jersey students
allegedly apply for loans in
their respective state, but.vhen
they go to an out-of-state
school such as A&T, they lose
this award. However, those
students still may apply for the
other financial aid programs,
such as the SEOG (Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant), NDSL (National Defense Student Loan)
and BEOG (Basic Educational
Opportunity Grant).
The director also added that
because numerous students
don't understand how financial aid works, there will be
workshops set up after
January 1. "I feel that the
processing of aids would pro-
abably be helped greatly if the
parents could help. Financial
aid (grants, loans) can't continue to be expected to carry
the burdens of those with
monetary problems. I would
like for this aid to be more ef-
UNC- System
fective to the students,
through computerization,"
Dalton added.
Dalton feels that largely
because of the efforts of
Califano, secretary of HEW
(Health Education and
Welfare) and President
Carter's administration, the
national office of education
won't finance funds for
universities with high default
loan rates. "That is why
universities are being
'forced' to collect payment.
In short, financial aid definitely has room for improvement
at A&T and other colleges as
well. Perhaps when America's
learning institutions impro-:~
their financial aid organizations, students will be able to
concentrate on studies rather
than tuition," she concluded.

Duplication Still Disputable
Chapel Hill, N.C.-The longstanding dispute between the
University of North Carolina

desegregation       of      the

Coaches Taylor, Doolittle
Resign Gridiron Staff
By Dennis Bryant
Steve Doolittle, the offensive backfield coach, and
Robert Taylor, the defensive
line'coach at North Carolina
A&T State University this past
season, have resigned from
their positions.
Both Taylor and Doolittle
were first-year members on the
A&T staff.  The information
was released Wednesday that
the two coaches would not
render their services to the
football team any longer.
Head football coach and
athletic director, Jim
McKinley        said that
replacements for the two vacant positions will be filled in
the near future.

not been resolved despite years
of negotiations and a tentative
agreement last Mav.
Federal officials contend the
quickest way to desgregate is
to eliminate duplicate programs in areas where there are
two or more state universities,
as is the case in the Triad and
Triangle areas.
The university views such a
move as an unproven, quick-
fix remedy that will damage
the university system.
North Carolina told the
U.S. Department of Health,
Education and Welfare last
week that it will not close,
merge or shift any campus
programs to promote
desegregation. The department has 90 days to respond.
