Approximately $6,700 was

The $6,700 includes the federal
iwo-to-one matching funds and
Wobable future donations resulting
from the telethon. "
The two-to-one match of federal
funds is provided through the Feeent
lassage of the Aid to Higher
Education Bill'in the United States
genate. . * -  '    .  '
The bill states for every dollar
taised by an educational institution
■or a student loan fund, the federal
government will provide two dollars.
The telethon' Monday night netted
approximately $2,246 in actual cash
funds when all pledges are sent in.
But with the federal two-to-one
program the amount to the-loan fund
is over $6,700.        "

Will insure the student loans and will
pay interest on the loans until the
student pays back the loan to the
University. y-   '.*

STUDENT EMPLOYMENT
POLICY
1 Central' Michigan University
commits in excess of one million
dollars yearly to assist students in
obtaining their educational goals.
Each year the amount of demonstrated financial need of students
has increased considerably.
Since . there are limited
resources available for scholarships
-and- grants in aid, -it. has-become
necessary for the University to seek
other means of assistance to; meet
the financial needs of students.
Consequently, employment
opportunities ' funded--.-from
" University' sources; where/feasible,
will be integrated with the Financial
Aids program. In so doing,-; the
University recognizes the right of
each individual to seek active employment,' but the University must
consider financial need as a factor in
offering  employment  to  students.
, • . This new policy ■ will . riot
eliminate students without financial
need -from obtaining' employment
'with the University, but if a student
with at least minimal qualifications
for the position is seeking a job and
has demonstrated financial need this
will be given a priority in obtaining
the .position. Consequently, monies
earned from a job will aid the
student' in meeting their financial
needs. . , ..    \ Y  ,
' ' ' ■'
„ In light of the limited resources
available for student assistance, we
believe, this program will allow a
greater number of students
demonstrating a financial need to
obtain Assistance in meeting their
educational goals. Students who
have jobs how would be able to keep
them regardless of financial need
until they Meave their jobs? 6t
.graduate.
