Students still have time to apply for
some of the $122.1 million that is avail
able in the Basic Educational Opportun
ity Grants program for the 1973-74 school
year.
Basic Grants, which are funded by the
U.S. Office of Education, are available
to first-time students who began their
post-high school education or training
after July 1, 1973, on a full-time basis.
These grants can be used at any eligible
instruction including regular colleges,
universities, community or junior col
leges, vocational or technical schools,
and hospital schools of nursing — both
public and private, profit and non-profit.
Grants are based on a formula which
takes into account the cost of tuition,
fees, room, board, books, supplies, and
incidental expenses, and the amount the
student and his or her family can con
tribute. The formula is applied consist
ently to all students throughout the coun
try for the 1973-74 academic year.
Awards range from $50 to a maximum
of $452 for each eligible student.
John Ottina, U. S. Commissioner of
Education, said, “Money that students
receive under this program is free and
clear; it is not a loan that has to be paid
back.”
Students may obtain an application
form for a Basic Grant through their
financial aid officer or guidance counse
lor, or by writing to Box G, Iowa City,
Iowa 52240.
The money received under the Basic
Grants program in no way affects how
much students may receive under other
U. S. Office of Education programs. In
formation about these programs may
also be obtained from financial aid of
ficers or guidance counselors. Programs
include:
National Direct Student Loan — for
students who are enrolled at least half-
time in a participating postsecondary in
stitution and who need a loan to meet
their educational expenses.
Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grant — for students of exceptional fi
nancial need who, without the grant,
would be unable to continue their educa
tion.
College Work-Study — provides jobs for
students who have great financial need
and who must earn a part of their edu
cational expenses.
Guaranteed Student Loan — enables
participants to borrow directly from a
bank, credit union, savings and loan as
sociation, or other participating lender
who is willing to make the educational
loan.

Shoplifting Law Is
Being Enforced
Over the past couple of months many
students from this University have been
caught shoplifting downtown and also
in the shopping centers. Some have
gone to jail. The law is enforcing this
law to the maximum and the University
is also.
The University feels it must take some
action, either temporary or permanent
suspension, or whatever they feel is nec
essary. But North Carolina has recently
adopted a new law against shoplifting
which actually spells out what they can
and will do.
Please read this carefully and also
remember that a record, even for shop
lifting follows you for life.
WATCH YOURSELVES PLEASE!!
The New North Carolina Shoplifting
Law states:
Section 1. G.S. 14-72.1 (a) Whoever,
without authority, willfully conceals
the goods or merchandise of any
store, not theretofore purchased by
such person, while still upon the
premises of such store, shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon

fine of not more than one hundred
dollars ($100.00) or by imprisonment
for not more than six months, or
by both such fine and imprisonment.
Such goods or merchandise founa
concealed upon or about the person
and which have not theretofore been
purchased by such person shall be
Prima Facie evidence of a willful
concealment.
(b) Any person found guilty of a
second or subsequent offense of will
ful concealment of goods as defined
in the first paragraph of this section
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and
shall be punished in the discretion
