New law delays grant payments
JENNIFER HOLT
Staff Reporter
It's been a "strange turn of events" for Linda Plumer, Wichita senior, since she applied for the Basic Education Opportunity Grant last January.
Plummer had thought she would get the grant, as she had for the last two years, until she received a letter in May from the department and Welfare saying she was ineligible.
Then in June, a letter arrived that said she would get the grant because of a mistake in her classification.
By the time she enrolled Thursday, the grant had not gone through the KU financial aid office, a secretary in the office told Plummer.
"I WAS MAD when I found out the grant had "n not gone through," she said, "and I called some friends to see if they had experienced the same BEOG trouble."
Friday she received her BEBG forms in the mail and immediately mailed them to the financial aid office. She said she planned to the office today to check on the grant.
Although part of her problem is solved, Plummer still must determine how she will pay for her initial living expenses this year.
"In the past the grant usually paid for 'innovation for both semesters,' she said. "I had to send my team a proposal to the grant, so then I had take out a small book of the bare necessities. I enrolled it borrowed."
JERRY ROGERS, director of financial aid, said an increase in students receiving guaranteed student loans and federal grants may be necessary for his office to get checks to students.
"The Middle Income Student Assistance Act that President Carter signed last November will result in a marked increase in the number of loans and grants we offer. When you usua 2,800 checks, you're bound to have problems along the line."
The new law raises the maximum BEGG grant from $1,000 to $1,600 and allows more students to get more money, according to Bergh, anberg, associate director of financial aid.
"I can understand her (Plummer's)
frustration," Weinberg said. "The BEOG program is not working in terms of time. There simply are too many delays from the time it is returned to him.
WEINBERG SAID that a student could pick up a grant application from a university, high school or post office. When the student sends it to the computer center in Iowa City, Iowa, to be reviewed. The results of the review, or the Student Eligibility Report as it is called, are mailed to the student, who takes it to the financial aid office at his school.
If the form has been filled out correctly, the computer prints out an index number, ranking the student's eligibility for a grant. If the form is not completed, chances of receiving a grant Weinberg said.
Weinberg said the government had changed the method of calculating the index, which caused confusion in classification for many students.
decided the new classifications may be illegal and told us not to issue any checks. Then it said we could. We heard by word of mouth that students ago that it was OK to pay the students.
ONLY LAST WEEK did the financial aid office got an official letter telling it to go ahead and pay the students. Rogers said.
His department will process the forms and adjust the funds on the index numbers this week when the new eligibility reports come from the computer center, he said.
'Around the end of May, the government
By October 31, 1978, the financial aid and technical support was paid. said Weinberg. This year the office has processed more than 2,500 applications and expects to process about 5,400 by the end of this year.
"The increase is so significant in both the grant and loan programs that we can't breathe in our office," Weinberg said. "The department's responsibility is to Education warmed us to give careful consideration in expanding our state for this in-person learning." He added that he had in Allen Field House and the office.

THE HUDDLE
"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
Psalms 2:1 and Acts 4:25
This question is the opening words of the 2nd Psalm. It asks, "Who will resist Jesus?" and reveals those who resist and seek to get rid of God's law, and HIs Ten Commandments. In other words the heathen are the ones who resist and seek to get rid of God's estate is the result of Adam's disobedience to The Commands.
This is the Gospel, this is the Good News of the grace of God all men. Near the testimony of the man who raised up Jesus from the dead, he proclaims that Jesus is the hope and believer on the Son of God hath Everlasting life; but he that believeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God will be upon him.
cled to church from Jesus Christ, then there is the 'wrath of God' for you to face in the next life!
After telling the heathen are, and why they rage. God points out in this Palm the results of this rage is the vibration of God's anger and wrath, and vexation with all mankind. This event was taken up by Jesus today. In the first one of these articles the statement was made 'Our trouble, the world's trouble, is that we have a devil shoved off its base, off its foundation.' The Law of God.
1 will cause them to ride up to the high places of the "The reason our nation is 'riding so hard' today is because we have lost the ability to tell Commandments." Such were a small percentage of the total population, their faith and influence tied the Gods' Law upon our statute book. The reason today, we are in so much trouble, crime, lawlessness, etc. because they have no sense of justice. Probably most folks won't believe until we keep going down until we hit bottom, or hell, when it will be too late to make them do it.
During the past few centuries The Protestant Christian nations have been blessed above all the nations of the earth; their history is marked by a violent vendition of other nations of the earth. Our testimony and conviction is that all these blessings are the fulfilment of God's promise to them, "The man who mandments, 'The nation whose God is 'The Lord.'" "Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any
