14AThe Daily Tar HeelThursday, August 31 , 1989 Task ffoirce to examimie student aid Campus Police Roundup By NANCY WYKLE Staff Writer In an effort to research problems and improve the student aid process at UNG, Student Body President Brien Lewis has established a finan cial aid task force. "There are so many different com ponents of the financial aid pie," Lewis said. "We need to sit down and be aware of who is putting in what ingredients. We don't want to throw money in an area where need doesn't exist." Problems with the financial aid process do exist, Lewis said. Although the financial aid office does its best to serve students, a lack of staff members hinders its efforts, he said. Uncertainty about the amount of funds students receive is also a prob lem Lewis wants to address. "I want Air Force By RHETA LOGAN Staff Writer Student cadets in UNC's Air Force ROTC, recovering from a deactiva tion of their detachment last year, are improving the detachment's academic and training programs in hopes of avoiding future deactivation. "These changes are designed to make our cadets more well-rounded individuals as well as improve the detachment as a whole," said Tony Cortes, corps commander and leader of the improvement effort. The detachment was deactivated in January 1988 by the U.S. Air Force as part of a nationwide cutback in small ROTC programs that were not pro ducing large numbers of officers. "We had nothing," Cortes said. "We had to give away all money and material HRC, Cobb-Joyner aireas consolidatec By RHETA LOGAN Staff Writer Henderson Residence College (HRC) and Cobb-Joyner housing areas merged in late July to form Cobb-Henderson-Joyner, now one of the largest university housing areas, UNC housing officials said. Cobb-Henderson-Joyner has 1,073 students and is second in size to Scott Residence College housing area, which has 1,238 students. Of the 1,073 students in Cobb-Henderson-Joyner, 630 live in Cobb-Joyner and 443 live in HRC, which comprises 155 E. FranKUn St. Welcome Back! Let Us Help You Decorate Your Room!

The task force made up of members of various student groups and several vice chancellors formed because of the tuition increase, a decrease in federal aid, the loss of some funds available through the University as a result of the food service consolidation, and the Umstead Act, which limits the num ber of items Student Stores can sell, Lewis said. Members of the task force will research problems involving financial aid and will offer a list of recommen dations addressing current and future problems to Chancellor Paul Hardin. The committee will meet on Oct. 17. "It's really looking at every angle C bun resources in our detachment. Our morale was extremely low." Student cadets were given the option of transferring to another uni versity having Air Force ROTC pro grams or dropping out of Air Force ROTC. "It was a really bad time, but we stuck with it, hoping that the detachment would pull through," Cortes said. In April 1988, the Air Force reacti vated the detachment after giving it a second look. Building the corps from that point was difficult, Cortes said, with only 14 freshmen joining the detachment in the fall of 1988. But this fall,' more than 30 freshmen are joining the detachment 1 1 of them on scholarship. The Air Force will evaluate the detachment's progress in one year Winston, Connor and Alexander resi dence halls. The merger resulted from a series of area director shifts that took place when Olde Campus Area Director Roger Nelson left his position to become assistant director of orienta tion, said Wayne Kuncl, director of housing. HRC Area Director Jim Weaver took Nelson's place as Olde Campus area director, leaving the HRC posi tion vacant.

Eleanor Morris, director of the Office of Scholarship and Student Aid, said the problem was not finan cial aid, but a shortage of funding, particularly with the tuition increases. "If the process can be improved, that's a bonus." Increasing awareness of the lack of funding in the community and state would help alleviate the problem, Morris said. A way to explain the problem and identify available funds is important in ending the shortage. UNC Provost Dennis O'Connor said the financial aid office at UNC does a good job and the focus of the task force needs to be locating exist ing funds. "There are students whose family situation would prevent them from attending Carolina without financial ding 'new an inspection that will determine whether the corps will stay open or shut down. "We are really motivated to make this detachment the best it can be," Cortes said. "We're hoping to moti vate these incoming freshmen so they can, in turn, motivate others and keep the corps strong.": At the beginning of the summer, Cortes and his seven-member cadet staff met with the detachment staff to identify ways to improve the ROTC program. One change will be a shift from physical training to leadership skills training. "We want to get away from all the drilling exercises and teach more leadership skills, which the cadets will need most of all when they become officers," Cortes said. hire someone to fill the HRC vacancy, so they made Cobb-Joyner Area Director Leslie Foster the HRC area director as well a move that merged the two areas. The merger will not affect any resi dence hall services, said Al Calarco, associate director of housing. "Some people were worried that the main desk at Winston would close and that everyone would have to check in at the Cobb desk, but that's not the case," he said. "The only change is that Leslie will now be SS, ; - "T3i ; ? Or i ; " 1 1 1 I !.'"."

The task force will have a difficult time finding the needy people and the available funds to help them, said committee member Ruffin Hall. "I would really like to see this become as important as the parking issue was last year," Lewis said. "It's the bottom line issue of all issues." Students from the Black Student Movement, Graduate and Professional Students' Federation and Student Congress, as well as several members of the administration, will serve on the task force. Lewis and Hall were pleased with the administration's interest. "If the administration didn't feel there was a real problem with financial aid, they wouldn't spend an entire day dis cussing it," Hall said. program The detachment is also working with the UNC Center for Teaching and Learning to implement "leader ship scenarios" in junior- and senior level courses, said Capt. Donald Humphries of the detachment staff. "We hope to construct hands-on, lead ership situations that the cadets can really learn from." The detachment is also working with the Center for Creative Leadership in Greensboro to include recent theories of management in course material. "Our goal is to have a program that is worthwhile for the students, that reflects well on the University and that serves the Air Force," Humphries said. "If we can achieve all of this, I think our staying open will come automatically." supervising two housing areas instead of one." "My staff is real excited about the merger," Foster said. "I think the change has been very positive and will continue to be." A merger of the areas' two govern ments would be up to the student rep resentatives of Morehead Confederation and Henderson Assembly, Calarco said.
