Program Evaluation Group Makes Report The program evaluation commission on which State Hep. Cal Skinner, Jr <R- Crystal Lake) serves has released a major staff study on student financial aid in Ill inois. The Illinois Economic and Fiscal commission staff's report makes several findings and recommendations, including: Students applying for financial aid should have one standard form to complete rather than the present confusing welter of forms Small businessmen seem to be treated unfairly by the current method of determining how much aid a student needs. Studies should be made of students who do not win state scholarships to find out whether lack of that aid kept them from attending college. Loans and non-repayable assistance play a more important role in the budgets of low income students, but low income parents as well as middle income parents still make a considerable financial effort to send their children to college. Because 23 percent of those who sought summer jobs could not find them, it is recommended that state universities examine ways of expanding job opportunities, such as programs in which a student alternates between semesters of full-time study and full-time work, with job placement tied closely to the student's field of study. An alternative approach to student lending, favored by Hep Skinner but not recommended in the report, is called "income contingent" lending, in which the amount, a student repays depends on how much money he earns after college Skinner explained that the Illinois Economic and Fiscal commission has done evaluations of real estate assessment and the junior college system, among others. Authorized at the last meeting of the commission were evaluations of drug abuse programs and community mental health programs in Illinois Each will take six to nine months to complete. Awaiting release are evaluations of state revolving funds and the day care licensing program of the Department of Children and Family Services.

NEWS EDITOR'S NOTE: Veterans and their families are asking thousands of questions concerning the benefits their Government provides for them through the Veterans Administration. Below are some representative queries. Additional information may be obtained at any VA office. Q - How long do veterans separated from military service between April 2, 1970, and Aug. 1, 1974, have under the Veterans Insurance act of 1974 to apply for the new Veterans Group Life Insurance? A -- They have until Aug. 1, 1975, to apply, but they must provide evidence of good health, except for VA -rated service-connected disabilities. Q -- What Veterans administration benefits should a veteran make his family aware of in the event of his death? Fine New Film Shown Aug. 28, Baptist Church So Long, Joey! is the title of a brand new film which is to be shown at the First Baptist church, 509 N. Front street, McHenry, Wednesday, Aug. 28, at 7:30 p.m. So Long, Joey! documents the true life story of Dave Boyer, who adopted the stage name Joey Stevens in order to pursue a career in the entertainment world. Gifted with unusual musical talent, Dave, the son of Rev. and Mrs. Ralph Boyer, sang in gospel meetings until at age 15 he turned "pro" and began working as a singing saxophonist in nearby night clubs. It was at age 17 that he changed his name to Joey Stevens and signed on as master of ceremonies at Atlantic City's "500" club. Soon on a first name basis with most of the top flight stars of the nightclub circuit, Dave's career boomed while his personal life became a nightmare of alcoholism and drug addiction. In a drunken stupor, he wandered the streets of Marietta, Pa., contemplating suicide, when the blurred view of a little old church caused him to cry out for salvation to the Savior. Dave's current ministry is broad in scope. A gifted vocalist, he is also a superb saxophonist and weaves his talents into a program that A -- A veteran's family should be especially apprised of such VA benefits as dependency and indemnity compensation for service-connected deaths, nonservice-connected death pensions for widows 'or children where widow is ineligible because of excessive income) and burial benefits. O - I was honorably discharged last month after three years of military service, and I would like to use the GI Bill to go to school in France next year. Is this possible, and do many veterans study outside the United States? A -- Yes, to both questions. Eligible persons may study abroad where courses approved by VA, lead to college degrees. During fiscal year 1974, a total of 65,000 veterans, servicemen, dependents and survivors studied outside the United States. penetrates the hearts of his, audience.,. Billy Zeoli, Gospel Films president, and the executive producer of So Long, Joey! in r e l e a s i n g i n f o r m a t i o n concerning the new film, said, S'There are multitudes of young Christians in North America who need to understand what happened to Dave Boyer, for they, too, are rebelling, thinking that the world offers more than Jesus Christ. In this film, we point up the fact that it is far better to be kept from the type of life Dave lived than to be rescued from it. We believe that countless numbers of young lives will be won for Christ through this powerful message of salvation which Dave Boyer's life illustrates." The public is cordially invited to attend.
