The BANNER Vol. XXVIII, Issue 3 California Baptist College Sept. 17, 1982 Girls Chased Flasher Stalking Albertson's Trail A lone male has exposed himself to several groups of CBC girls walking to and from Albertsons, and has even chased four freshmen girls causing one to trip and severely bruise her knee. There have been problems with harassment in the past but the current problem seems to have started this summer when a resident of Lancer Arms was briefly chased by a young male near the Methodist Church. She returned to Albertson's where she called her husband who retrieved her. The problem seemed to intensify late in August as students began to arrive. Two women returning from Albertson's about midnight, also residents of Lancer Arms and carrying children, were victims of an exhibitionist. These women were able to run to Lancer Arms where they then stopped at the first open apartment to call the police. Later, at approximately 4:00 A.M. the police were again called as an unknown person or persons tried to break into the apartment. Several days later, on August 25, two girls from Simmons Hall were returning from Albertson's when, they too saw the exhibitionist. They were almost to the wall which separates the Methodist Church and the Albertson's parking lot, when they saw a man nude from the waist down with some type of white covering over his head; the man was hidden in the trees surrounding the church. They ran back to the Allstate building for a short while before looking at the wall again. Unon reobserving they saw the man had moved up the wall and was watching them. MALA Suspends Schools Campus Digest News Service Three colleges have been suspended from the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for violations of N.A.I.A. rules. The schools, Cameron University, Le-Moyne-Owen College, and Rutgers at Camden, were all suspended for using ineligible athletes on their basketball teams. Le-Moyne-Owen was suspended for using a player for five years instead of four. Rutger's suspension was due to a mix-up while that school was switching from the smaller N.A.I.A. association to the larger schools organization, the N.C.A.A. Cameron University's admits its suspension was due to inadvertently allowing an ineligible student to play on the team. Le-Moyne-Owen and Rutgers both resigned from the N.A.I.A. following their suspension. They screamed and retreated to Albertson's where four other CBC students, three freshmen girls and a freshman guy were located. Together they headed back to the dorm. At this point, the male and one of the female students made a move which can only be termed as incredibly stupid. They ran around behind the church looking for the person but were unable to locate him. On the way back to the dorms the four students gave the first two girls such a hard time about the incident that it was never reported to the police or student security. The final known incident occurred about a week later when four freshmen girls were returning from Albertson's about 10:00 p.m. Again they spotted a man nude from the waist down standing in the first driveway of the Methodist Church. This time, however, the man began to chase the girls, who in turn, ran for the dorms. In the process one of the girls tripped, severely bruising her knee. At this time her friends came to her aid as the man had apparently stopped giving chase. Afterwards the girls remembered a blue Mustang offering them help at the time of the chase which they feel may have been part of a plan to get them into the car. Upon arriving at the school they called the police. To this point the majority of students seem to be taking the flasher as some sort of joke. One must remember, however, we are dealing with a sick individual and due care must be exercised. Girls should avoid walking to Albertson's alone and to an extent everyone should avoid going to Albertson's except in large groups. It must be remembered this individual is getting braver as time goes by and a potential tragedy exists. THE CBC 1982-83 cheerleaders show therir stuff at the Jog 'O' Rama Rally. The Government Speaks Up Newspaper, radio, and television reports of substantial cuts in Federal financial aid to college students have triggered a barrage of phone calls to the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, DC Callers, both students and parents, are often confused by misleading or incomplete information. Many have expressed fear that the government has let them down; that college is no longer affordable. It is true that student financial assistance programs have undergone considerable change in the past two years. There have been some reductions. Most of the changes, however, reflect an effort to return the aid programs to their original purpose, which was to help students cover the cost of a college education — not to carry the whole burden. A successful return to original intent will help ensure the survival of these aid programs for future students. Federal financial assistance is divided into three categories. "Grants" are awards of money that do not have to be paid back. "Loans" are borrowed money which a student must repay with interest. "Work-Study" provides the chance to work and earn money to off-set college costs while attending classes. The Pell Grant Program is one of the best known of the Federal student aid programs. Formerly called the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant, Pell is often the first source of aid in a package which may be composed of other Federal and non-Federal sources. In the 1982-83 school year, 2.55 million students share $2,279,040,000 in Pell Grants. The U.S. Department of Education uses a standard formula to determine who qualifies for Pell Grants. Students should contact the college financial aid administrator to apply on the free "Application for Federal Student Aid." This is the form used for all Federal student aid programs. The Department guarantees that each participating shcool will receive the money it needs to pay Pell Grants to eligible students. The supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant provides another mechanism for making awards to students. SEOF is different from the Pell Grant in that it is managed by the financial aid administrator of each participating college. Each school receives a set amount of money from the Department and when that money is gone, there are no more SEOG funds for the year. In 1982-83 the Department of Education will provide 440,000 students with $278,400,000 in Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants. Students will get up to $2,000 a year under this program. Grant programs are designed to help the most needy students get a college education. The Pell Grant, in particular, is targeted to help those students whose families earn less that $12,000 per year. Grant aid is not meant to cover all college costs but is expected to be combined with a reasonable contribution from the student's family and individual self-help, generally in the form of loans, private scholarships, and work. Another type of student financial assistance is the College Work-Study Program. Designed to provide on-or off- o^mpusjoljsJbxJiuiiergraduate and graduate students who need financial assistance, Work-Study is usually managed by the college financial aid administrator. Some 950,000 students will receive $528 million under this program in 1982-83. A great deal of publicity has been generated lately on Federal student loans, particularly the National Direct Student Loan Program. Although all colleges do not participate in the NDSL program, 3,340 of them do. This program makes available low interest (5 percent) loans that students must begin repaying six months after completing school (either by graduating, leaving, or dropping below half-time status). Up to 10 years is allowed to repay the loan. Application is made to a school's financial aid administrator who manages the loan fund. The fund is a revolving account, designed to allow a school to continually make new loans as existing loans are repaid. About 800,000 students will receive NDSLs in 1982-83; 10,000 more than in 1981-82. Recently, Secretary of Education T. H. Bell signed a regulation which provides incentives for an institution to reduce the default rate of its NDSL program fund. A college which has a default rate over 25 percent is asked to turn responsibility for collecting the debt over to the Federal government. If an institution is not prepared to do this, and the default rate remains 25 percent or more, the Federal goverment will cut off NDSL funding. The Guaranteed Student Loan Program, much in the news lately, makes available low interest loans to students, with the Federal government paying the interest while a student is in school. These loans are made by a lender (such as a bank, credit union, or savings and loan assocation) and insured by either the Federal government or a State Guarantee Agency. This, the largest student aid program, will make available over $9.5 billion in loans during the 1982-83 school year. Undergraduate students can borrow up to $2,500 a year and graduate students can borrow up to $5,000 under GSL. The total debt an undergraduate can carry is $12,500. For graduate or professional study this figure is $25,000. A student borrower whose family income is less than $30,000 automatically qualifies for an interest- subsidized loan. Students whose family income exceeds $30,000 may still be eligible for GSL interest benefits if the college's financial aid administrator determines that the student has demonstrated financial need. A new loan program started in 1981, called the Auxiliary Loan (or PLUS) Program, allows parents, independent students, and graduate students to borrow up to $3,000 a year. There is no income cut off for eligibility. The interest on PLUS Loans will be lowered from 14 to 12 percent sometime in October as a result of lower average U.S. Treasury bill interest rates.
