On April 18, 1974, legislation affecting
the Guaranteed Student Loan Program
was signed into law (P.L. 93-269)
changing the basis for determining
eligibility for Federal interest benefits.
This amendment will be effective for all
loans approved by guarantee agencies or
commitments issued by the Office of
Education on or after June 2, 1974, which
means that applications initiated up to
several weeks prior to this date may very
well be subject to its provisions.
The major provisions of the new law
are:
1. Guaranteed Student Ivoans are those
from off-campus lenders such as College
Foundation, Inc., in North Carolina and
banks, savings and loan associations,
and credit unions in other states.
2. Any student, whose adjusted family
income is less than $15,000, who wishes to
apply for subsidized loans totaling in
excess of $2,000 (up to a maximum of
$2,500) in any academic year must, as
under current procedures, submit to the
lender the school’s recommendation
based upon the results of a needs
analysis.
Greene, Judy Scott, John Kavelin, and
Robert Graff are resigning. Frank
Faulkner will be taking a leave of ab
sence. Lisi Oliver is finishing her in
ternship.
The dissatisfaction of Roger
McDonald, oboe instructor, was ex
pressed in his statement: “The ad
ministration of the music school is
basically dishonest. They are people who
can’t answer a question with yes or no
3. Any student, whose adjusted family
income is $15,000 or greater and who
wishes to apply for a subsidized loan in
any amount, must, as under current
procedures, submit to the lender the
school’s recommendation based upon a
needs analysis.
NOTES:
1. Any student whose adjusted family
income is less than $15,000 will
automatically qualify for Federal in
terest benefits on loans totaling up to
$2,000 in any academic year without any
needs test or recommendation by the
educational institution.
2. While the Federal Government will
provide interest benefits on such loans up
to $2,500 some states and-or lenders may
not be willing to lend more than a lower
maximum, such as $1,500.
3. Do not confuse the Guaranteed
Student Ix)an Program with our on-
campus National Direct Student Loan
Program. The National Direct Student
lx)an Program will still require a need
analysis. Also, a students’ National
Direct Student lx)an and other on-
campus financial aid may not exceed 100
per cent of his calculated need.
4. For additional information, see Mr.
Ruark in the Financial Aid Office.
and who promise one thing and then do
another. The school is blown up to be
more than it is,” he said. “I was very
disappointed with the school.”
McDonald concluded by saying, “The
only joys I have had at the school have
been the students and working with the
Clarion Quintet.”
‘Wry disappointed . . . ”
. ..very, very happy*'
Three Jobs
David Partin^on, choral director,
explained his resi^ation saying, “I just
found that carrying three jobs is too
much.”
In addition to his work at the school,
Partington is choir director at the First
Presbj^erian Church and is director of
the Winston-Salem Symphony Chorale.
Partington has just had a third child
and wants to spend more time with his
family.
Paul and Janese Trivette will be
leaving this September for Europe. Paul
has been a house parent at Moore Dorm
and is assistant director of student ac
tivities under Dave Belnap. Janese is in
charge of the crafts room, as well as
being a house parent in the high school
dorms.
They have been planning this four-
month excursion for two years and will
be accompanied by their younger
brother and sister. They plan to start in
Scandanavia and work their way south.
After Europe, Janese plans to go to
graduate school to work on an M.F.A.
Paul is uncertain about his plans after
Europe. He doesn’t anticipate returning
as a house parent; however, he ex
pressed his interest in seeing the effect
the new chancellor will have on the
school.
Administration Weak
William Greene, science teacher,
described his reasons for leaving as
being multi-casual.
“My experiences with the students and
:he faculty here have been marvelous.
However, in my opinion the ad
ministration of the school has been very
weak. I don’t think that the school is
flexible enough, creative enough and
warm enough. I feel I would be happier
somewhere else,” said Greene.
Greene helped write the first
philosophy of the school and to formulate
the original curriculum.
The Greene family will be emigrating
to New Zealand in June.
“I am dissatisfied with the
United States. I want to go live a
romantic life and have adventures,” he
said. “I want to live where the mountains
touch the ocean. The South Seas felt like
home. So I’m going home.”
John Kavelin, instructor in scene
designing and painting, said he was not
ready to announce his reasons for leaving
or his future plans.
Frank Faullmer, also a member of the
Design and Production faculty will be
taking a leave of absence to paint in New
York city. He is currently an instructor in
art history for design and production
students.
Also leaving are Judy Scott, a seam
stress, and Lisi Oliver, an intern in
lighting design and technical production,
both plan to go elsewhere and continue
their education.
Very, Ve^ Happy
Robert Graff, chairman of costuming
in the Design and Production depart
ment, said, “I am not leaving because I
am unhappy. I’ve been very, very happy
here this year.”
Graff, who is a graduate of NCSA, is
leaving in order to attend the Northwest
Lutheran Theological Seminary in
Austin, Minn., this June.
“The reason that I chose to do this was
because I really felt that the Lord was
leading me to the seminary. We were
going to stay here for five years.”
This summer Graff will be working as
head of the arts and crafts department in
a school for emotionally disturbed
children.

Finds No Major Flaws
For Summer
Drama Rehires Jaeger

The southern Association of Colleges
and Schools turned in a preliminary
report April 25 evaluating the college
division. The final report is not yet
complete and cannot be
quoted specifically at this time, but it is
certain that no individual has been
singled out as deficient in any major
way.
TTie report, which Sam Stone said was
not as “negatively critical” as our own
self study, made 18 recommendations,far
fewer than the self study. (The 120-page
self study was constructed all last year
and turned in in January as background
material for the visiting committees). Of
the 18, only two were not already
discussed in the self study.
Both reports felt that teaching loads in
many areas should be reduced and that
salaries, especially the music
librarian’s, should be increased. The
reports recommended that we employ a
registrar, and that the size of the library
be increased. In the past, the faculty has
wanted more of a chance to express it’s
views on construction plans, and both
reports recommended that the faculty be
given more of a voice in these matters.
The need for a faculty development
program, a sort of interaction between
instructors in the different schools, in
order to broaden awareness and
understanding, was also included in the
reports. It was recommended by the self
study, as well as the Southern
Association report, that the employment
procedures in the drama department be
clarified. In their meeting with the ad
ministration here, the committee said
“the dance faculty, with the exception of
one, are all excellent.”
The two recommendations the
Association made which the self study
committee did not were; 1) that we have
a “coordinator of instructional
programs” - a provost or dean of deans -
to coordinate the various schools, and 2)
that we establish a “student affairs
committee,” in charge of the dorms,
counseling, student complaints, etc.
Sam Stone, director of development,
said it has not been made clear yet what
the Southern Association’s recommen
dations mean. He does not know how
many years the school has before it has
to comply with them or if it has to comply
at all.
College Committee
The college committee, which was here
March 31 through April 3, was very
pleased with the enthusiasm shown by
the students. Stone said that there was no
reason for the college to lose its ac
creditation. The association will meet in
December to decide.
Concerning the High School, an oral
report will be given sometime around
May 18 by E.W. Wadsworth, a member of
the high school committee, which was
here March 18 and 19. He will then
recommend to the association whether
or not the high school divison will receive
accreditation.
The high school committee was
comprised entirely of North Carolinians,
while the committee for the college came
from all over the U.S. NCSA was allowed
to make suggestions as to the members
of the college committee (Jameson
Jones, head of the college committee,
was here five years ago when NCSA
became a member of the Southern
Association and received accreditation),
and had veto power over suggested
members of the high school committee.
Hick Miller, director of self study, said
that “we were very happy with both of
the groups we got.”

Dr. William Jaeger, a drama teacher
who recently resigned from his post, has
been told he will be re-hired for the
summer session.
"No contracts have been signed for the
summer session yet”, said Chancellor
Robert Ward. Asked if Jaeger had been
re-hired for the summer session Ward
said, “I really can't tell you. Talk to Mr.
Pollock. Not to my knowledge, but as I
say 1 really haven’t signed any contract
yet.” Ward must sign contracts for all
people who are hired to teach in the
summer session.
Ronald Pollock, dean of drama, said,
“His work in the summer in the past has
been very good and it is on the basis of
that that he is being continued.” He took
exception to the term re-hired, he said
Jeager’s employment was merely being
"continued” for the summer session.
“It’s my understanding that he is to be
hired. That’s from Miss Hunt”, said
Robert Hyatt who is co-ordinator of the
summer school session. "Mr. Pollock has
the final say on who is hired for the
summer session on the drama staff”,
said Hyatt.”
"Dr. Jaeger will teach acting to high
school students and directing to high
school teachers,” said I^sley Hunt, a
speech teacher in the drama department
and co-ordinator of the summer drama
session.
Jaeger has been a controversial
teacher since he came here four years
ago. He reportedly pushed down Pollock
before a production of Henry IV at
Summit School last fall.
"I didn’t push down Ron Pollock. If 1
did, he wouldn’t be alive", said Jaeger.
Jaeger directed the successful
production of "The little Fo.xes" that
William Jaeger in 19T0 Production
of "Sidney Brustein"
was selected by the .American College
Theatre Festival to be presented at the
Kennedy Center in Washington. D.C.,
three years ago. Other shows he has
directed at NCSA include "Little
Murders," "Ceremonies in Dark Old
Men", and ' The Effect of Ganmia Kays
on Man in the Moon Marigolds."
"It doesn't bother me. 1 like teaching in
siunmer school", said Jaeger in coni-
nenting on how he felt about returnmg
after his resignation.' "I^sley asked me
to teach simimer school because 1 did
such a good job with it last year. " said
Jaeger.
