The badge is adapted from the symbol of access showing a stylized figure in a wheelchair within a circle. "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." One requirement for earning the badge is for a Scout to study what is being done to train, employ, and educate persons with physical, sensory, mental, or emotional handicaps. 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. In addition, a Scout must 15 hours within three i|hs working with groups ; the handicapped and analyzing their views and concerns. Finally, he is asked to work toward greater understanding and awareness of persons with handicapping conditions. Wisdom comes to in­ dividuals in broken doses and few human beings have much of it.

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!

The report must be submitted by the student to his or her intended college. ...Illinois State Scholar- s h i p C o m m i s s i o n Notification of Status, which also reflects the amount of the award. ...The institutional award letter from the college, which usually makes awards only to students accepted for admission.
