Congratulations Class of 73 t!0he l^ibserunner Vol. IX, No. 2 The Ridgerunner May 4, 1973 Record Graduation Congressman Hoy Taylor will address a record number of UNC-A graduates at commencement exercises to be held Saturday, May 12.

Nixon Signs Bill President Nixon last week signed a bill that provides $872 million for student aid programs. UNC-A Director of Financial Aids Jim Almon has indicated to THE RIDGERUNNER Students who have applied for financial aid for the coming academic year should receive award notice by mid-June. The money is the same amount Nixon requested, but most of it is for programs he called “out moded and inequitable,” while a new program on which he wants to center sutdent aid was cut $500 million. The $872 million student aid programs package will approp riate $210 million for the Sup plemental Educational Opport unity Grant; $269 million for the National Direct Student Loans; $270 million for the College Work Study Program; $122 mil lion for Basic Opportunity Grants. Nixon has wanted to eliminate entirely the National Direct Student Loans Program and the Supplemental Educa tional Opportunity Grant. Earlier Nixon had requested an increase in the Basic Opportunity Grants from its present level to more than $622 million. That increase was denied by Congress. UNCA-UNCW Exchange Slated The cure for the hum-drum summer has been found if you are inclined to spend time out doors studying and would like to spend a couple of weeks on the coast of North Carolina. “Anyone wanting to go along should get in touch with me before time for summer registra tion, we have room for twelve students, but no more.” These were the words of Dr. Harry Johnston when he was asked about the planned exchange- studies program between UNC-A and UNC-W for the first four weeks of the summer. Dr. Johnston urged any student interested in the course to get in touch with his office before school is out for the summer. The course will consist of two weeks in the mountains and two weeks on the coast. Students from the two schools will work together. The first two weeks of the course will be spent in the mountains and the last two on the coast. The mountain aspect of the course will emphasize botany and ecology. The early summer flora should be reaching its peak at this time and hopes are high fora good two weeks. In addition to botany ecology of the mountain woodlands wil, be studied.

Kenneth Wright was elected by the student body to head SGA for the coming academic year. He handily defeated his opponent Howard Sellinger. Wright will take office on the first day after the end of the cur rent term. David Randall was elected SGA vice-president. He ran un opposed. For the first .time in SGA elec tions, commu^ students selected two senate representatives. Running unopposed on the com- mut^i/ ticket were Ed Sheary and Dennis Hannan. Shortly after votes were counted, SGA president-elect Ken Wright released a statement, to THE RIDGERUNNER saying; “I would like to express my thanks to all those who voted and also to ask every student to become involved in the functioning of SGA next year, I hope to get out as much as possible in an effort to serve student needs as well as I am able, but I encourage ideas and criticisms at any time. Next year 1 intend to work toward increasing student input into University governance especially in the area of academic policies. I fully intend to have a strong program of social events for stu dents during the coming year. I am also very much interested in increasing the role of women’s athletics on campus. I believe next year can be a very exciting and stimulating time, but we will need your support.” * Ken Wright, elected SGA president this week in a landslide victory, has pledged to con tinue work for a stronger student voice in academic policies.
