Miami Humcane/JEFF UOTTUER International Week Chairman Jeffrey Hurst Accepts Award From Laura Morgan Regulations Change Financial Aid By LOURDES FERNANDEZ Head News Writer Significant changes in financial aid will soon go into effect due to new federal regulations, according to Judith Marty, associate director of student financial aid services. One of these changes concerns the award letters sent to students over the summer, in the past, these award letters stated what kinds of financial aid the student would receive; all the student had to do was sign the letter and mail it However, the award letters that students will receive this summer are different in that students must submit documentation about their financial status. This documentation consists of the parents' 1981 IRS 1040 form, the student’s 1981 IRS 1040 (if filed), and a student aid report from the Pell Grant Program. The information on the Florida Financial Aid Form (FAF) that students submitted earlier this year must be verified with the IRS forms. If the information does not agree, the "total estimated aid" on the award letter is subject to change. "The financial aid on this award letter will not be given until we have the two forms," said Marty. "And the sooner the student responds, the sooner they will get the awards." Marty added that it was very important that students tell their parents to keep a copy of their tax form. The government has always required schools to have validations such as these concerning financial aid, said Marty. “But, in 1982-83, the validation effort will be larger," said Marty “The government is still debating whether we must validate some of the students or all of them. “We’re under more pressure from the government to make sure that the students receiving financial aid need it.” UM will especially be checking the dependency status of applicants. Each year, said Marty, a greater amount of students apply as independents when their parents can really help them. “But the government is now taking a closer look at independent students,” she said. “So UM is establishing that they must show they’re independent.” In order to establish that they are independents, students must now complete a UM Independent Confirmation Form. Students under 24 years of age must have their parents sign the form. Students must also send a copy of their IRS form or other documentation which confirms that they support themselves. Another change is that social security benefits for students will be cut by 25 percent next year, said Marty. She added that the program Is “being phased out." Marty suggests that students apply for loans such as the Guaranteed Student Loan. The GSL enables undergraduate students to borrow a maximum of $2500 and graduate/ professional students up to $5000 per year. Interest is nine percent and the borrower does not begin payments until six months after graduation. Another loan, the National Direct Student Loan, charges an interest of four percent. Students may borrow up to $6,000 a year and do not start repayment until graduation. However, the federal government may discontinue funding for this program. Marty urges students to apply for loans because the financial aid office "can only meet the full needs of the students by using all of its resources.” Another resource is scholarships. There are two kinds of scholarships — those based on financial need and merit-based scholarships. For financial-based scholarships, such as the UM Honor Scholarship and the National Merit Scholarship, returning students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average and demonstrate financial need. Merit-based scholarships include the University Scholars Program and the Presidential Scholars Pro- gram. Returning students who have recieved the first must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.4 and earn at least 24 credits a year. Those in the Presidential Scholars Program must maintain a 3.2 grade point average and also earn 24 credits. Marty said that UM has not yet received any notification from the federal government concerning cuts in financial aid. “I don’t feel that the cuts will be as big in 1982-83 as they will be in 1983-84,” said Marty. “The cuts will be there, but they won’t be that dramatic." She adds that students should be aware that they can voice their objections to the government and that they should write to their congressman asking them to vote against cuts that will affect them. Miami Hurricane/JEFF GOTTLIEB A couple of thousand dollars in damage. Much, much better than new? This is the result of an accident in the commuter parking lot by the Music School last Thursday. The unfortunate recipient of this nasty dent would probably want to return to sender this fender bender. —--------------------------------------------------i----------------- Rhody Assails Trials By Media By HOWIE BURNS Contributing Editor “Trial by Television”: Investigative journalism whereby the television production team becomes the accuser, judge, and jury. This was the issue at hand when Ronald E. Rhody, corporate vice president of public relations & advertising for the Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Corporation, spoke before an audience of students and faculty in the Flamingo Ballroom of the Whitten Student Union on March 25. The lecture, sponsored by Professor Donald Vance and the Public Relations Student Society of America, was a continuation of an ongoing crusade that began over two years ago. On April 3, 1980, ABC News presented a segment on its "20/20” program called “Hot Wire." In this segment, reporter Geraldo Rivera spoke of the dangers of aluminum wiring. The report was especially critical of Kaiser Aluminum products, something that Rhody and his employer have continued to dispute to this day. Rhody was sharply critical of the mode of investigative reporting that is now prevalent in the medium of television, saying that "no institution has such little accountability" and that “those who have much power and little accountability tend to act with little accountability.” He warned of the dangers of broadcasting's “eagerness to report rumor as fact,” and pointed to the treatment of the assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan as a graphic example. Rhody said that the public trust in the media comes as a “result of heritage and expectation,” and because of this, the fact that the three networks reported that an elderly president was undergoing open heart surgery and that the press secretary had died had. according to Rhody, "frightening implications.” He expounded on the dangers that exist when the "perception of right and wrong in the world comes from television.” Rhody: “Too many In the media play hot and loose. The use of hidden cameras, microphones and the eagerness to report rumor goes against a national sense of fairness.” See Page 2/RHODY Hurricane Positions Open Applications are available to students who wish to run for editor-in-chief or business manager of the Hurricane for the fall semester. The business manager will also serve the Ibis Yearbook as well. Students can pick up applications in room 221 of the Student Union from Publications Coordinator Arlene Watts. All applicants must have a 2.5 cumulative grade point average and must be full-time undergraduate students for the coming semester Applicants must be interviewed by Publications Advisor Sharon Clark before the election to be held April 14. The election will consist of each candidate making a short presentation to the Board of Student Publications. The voting will take place immediately after the presentations. Each winner will receive a full-tuition scholarship and a $350 stipend for the fall semester.
