"We want to understand the whole group of disabilities," Rausch said, "and this includes the emotionally disturbed and mentally retarded as well as those with physical han dicaps."

This can be done by visiting an agency that works with handicappped persons. A Scout also must try to put himself in the place of the handicapped by con ducting activities under conditions simulating sight, hearing, manual, and mobility impairment.

Urge Applications For College Financial Aid College-bound high school seniors who plan to enter school next fall should apply for financial aid as soon as possible, advises one Financial aid officer. Early application for aid is essential because those students who qualify for financial assistance and apply early will be the first in line for help. High school students should apply for aid as soon as federal income tax in formation has been collected. They are en couraged to apply for financial aid regardless of family income, because decisions on awarding assistance depend on many factors other than income dollars. , Among these factors are the family's assets, the number of children at tending college, and unusual family expenses. Illinois residents should request the form to apply for the Illinois State Scholarship Commission (ISSC) award. This award is based on eges L nlor ii l WRO--•* financial need and offers a maximum of $1,900 toward tuition at universities and colleges within Illinois. Students should also apply for aid using two other forms. Many coll provide their own form financial aid ty> students have been accepted for admission. There is also a form to apply for the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant (BEOG), a federally funded entitlement based on need and usable at any eligible institution. (The BEOG will be renamed the Pell grant during the 1961-82 year). All students should apply to their intended college for financial assistance as well as for the BEOG, by com pleting either the Financial Aid Form (FAF) or the . Family Financial Statement (FFS). The FAF and FFS collect information about the family's economic situation and are used to determine financial need. In addition to the ISSC DISCOUNTS UP TO 30% < WALLPAPER * •», - < SALE!
