INTEGRATED, YOUNGER STAFF:
'U' alters student aid program
By HESTER PULLING
With over 7000 students ap-
plying for assistance and with
changes in staff and procedure,
the University's Department of
Financial Aid has been a busy
place this semester, says Direc-
tor Robert M. Brown.
Brown, formerly aid director
at the University of Colorado,
has instigated several changes
in the financial aid office since
coming to the University last
January.
One of the changes, Brown ex-
plains, is a counseling staff "on
the younger side of the gen-
eration gap and more easily able
to communicate with students."
All the counselors except one
are under 30 and the entire
administrative staff is under
40.
Another reform is "integra-
tion at all levels," according to
Brown. Asked whether c o m-
plaints from black students had
initiated the hirings, B r o w n
says he understands there were
problems iitiated before he came
to the University.
He adds, however, that black
employment is a "natural -
not a pressured - response to
student needs since a dispropor-
tionate share of our clientele is
black."
Brown stresses that having
an integrated staff is "not for
Econ faculty to vote
on class in politics
Thie economics department fac-, material studied in Economics 202
facade or to satisfy some ar-
tificial requirement."
A third change is procedural,
reducing the number of forms
an aid applicant has to fill out.
Financial aid is divided into
six areas raging from grants
and part-time employment to
federally-financed loans.
In the past students had to
apply to each division separate-
ly. Now one application covers
all types of aid, relieving the
work-load on both students and
staff.
The single application form is
lengthy, but all questions are
pertinent, one financial aid re-
cipient says. He feels the one-
form method is less tedious and
more practical than previous
systems.
A fourth idea, which B r o w n
brought from Colorado, is the
College Work Study Program
(CWSP) which provides assist-
ance to students through cam-
pus employment.
The financial aids office tries
to place students in a job re-
lated to his interests, field of
study and skills. The geology
-department, Center for, Re-
search on Learning and Teach-
ing, Highway Safety Research
Institute ad the University Hos-
pital offer various positions.
i ! Many of the jobs available in-
volve clerical duties - typing,
filing and keypunching. Other
employment opportunities in-
clude evaluating questionnaires,
editing and research assistance.
s "There will be more diversity
in job opportunities as the pro-
gram develops," Brown says.
Student and employer atti-
tude toward CWSP has been
favorable thus far. Janie Davis,
a secretary at the Center for Re-
search on Learning and Teach-
ing, thinks the program h a s
"worked out, well."
The federal government pays
80 per cent of the salaries of
CWSP stundets. "This encour-
ages us to hire more students
and also furthers the CWSP
program," Miss Davis explains.
Sue Gistinger, a reseach as-
sistant in the highway safety de-
partment thinks the program
"is getting along well." "We
all enjoy the people," she adds.
CWSP student Shelly W 11-
liams is a keypuncher for t h e
Ceter for Research on Learning
and Teaching.
"I really like it," Miss Wil-
liams says. "The people I work
for are really nice. It doesn't
take up much of my time and
the pay is quite good."

culty will consider next Tuesday
the establishment of a sophomore-
level political economics course.
The department's executive com-
mittee recommended yesterday
that the new course be set up next
term on a pilot basis with one
section of about 25 students.
The committee also proposed
that the course carry three credits
and require Economics 201 and 202,
as prerequisites.
Teaching fellows active in pro-
inoting the proposed course ex-
pressed some opposition yesterday
to the committee's recommenda-
tions.
"We had hoped the prerequisite
could be Economics 201 or the in-
structor's permission, and that
several sections could be estab-
lished rather than one," said
Richard England, Grad.
"A large part of the potential
audience will be discouraged by
this," England said, "We're not
making the most of the potential
of this course."
Economics department chair-
man Prof. Harvey Brazer said that
was more relevant to the proposed
course than Economics 201 mate-
rial.
The proposed course syllabus
emphasizes critical analysis of
contemporary American society.
The syllabus includes units on
the distribution of political and
economic power in American so-
ciety, imperialism and militarism
and alienation and technology.
The proposed reading list spans
a wide range of economic thought
including con'servatives such as
Milton Friedman, Henry Simon
and Joseph Schumpeter, liberab
John Galbraith, Paul Samuelsor
and socialists Karl Marx, Michae
Harrington and Herbert Marcuse
Brazer said the course deal
with 'economics and ideology-
dealing with various economic is-
sues from various perspectives-
with a strong weight on what some
would call the economics of the
new left."
England countered that the re-
quired readings were generally
evenly balanced between conserva-
tive, liberal and radical viewpoints
