Wednesday, December 10, 1969 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Nine Wednesday, December 10, 1969 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Nine 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."

I 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 " v S' i a 1, S r E ; r.
