The Prospector January 29, 1987/ Page 2
Family
Continued from page 1
Since the fire the family has
not been together in one home
except for the time they spent
together during the Chraimas
holiday
Carol, her husband Charley
and Jennifer are living in an
apartment ckne to the Univer-
sity I ric and Shannon, 16. are
living with neighbors near the
area where their home once
wood
"We’ve learned to apprec late
each other more, but we Mill
argued and px on each other
nerves in our small apartment
during ( hritmas,” Jennifer
said ' We were all together in
our tiny apartment "
The family will cmtinue to
live apart until they can build a
new home They are struggling
to pick up the pieces of there
lives
‘I find myself thinking about
the war things were and the
wav life would have been il
there hadn’t been a fire,” Jen
niter said
Carol wav taking 12 hours
L semester and would have
been student teaching thiv
semester Instead she will have
lo delay her student tear thing un-
til the fall
•'I’m really happy we could
fix everything last semester
when we had to withdraw
because of the fire." Jennifer
said
“It was past the date for
withdrawal but the administra-
tion understood and wav very
helpful.” Carol added
“It’s really hard when you
say, 'oh. I'll just look at the
Carol (top) and Jennifer Hechar together on campus
notes 1 had from last year," and
suddenly remember, no. they
burned in the lire.'* she said
One outcome of the fire is the
scars it has left behind. Carol
will carry the marks from the
lire for the rest of her life
“It is really frightening to
think that I'll be x arred severe-
ly for the rest of my hte.” Carol
said.
Her doctor has advised her to
wear a mask because she must
apply premure in the scar tissue
to prevent further scarring
"Wearing the mask is hard,
people are always staring.”
Carol said "I just wish peo-
ple could understand '’
Jennifer said, "Mom’s come
such a long way in such a short
time I remember right after the
tire we had to dress her, feed
her and even help her move
around, and now I see her walk-
ing across campus with her
backpack She’s done great "

of the 3500 University students
who now hold Pell grants," the
director said
Aranda added some of the pro-
grams that would be eliminated
under Reagan’s proposal would
include Teachen" Scholarships,
designed to draw top students to
education; the Supplemental
Educational Gram Program,
designed to help the needy go to
college; National Direct Student
Loans; State Student Inc entive
Grants, in which the Mate foots
half the bill while the federal
government pays the remainder.
Cooperative Elc ation: Veterans
Edux ation Outreach; the Womem
Educ atlonal Equity Act Program,
and nursing scholarships
He called the proposal "the
biggest catastrophe to hit higher
elucation in the last 30 years."
That the proposal is receiving
so little support iv no excuse for
ignoring its existence, he said
Aranda asked the Student
Assoc lation to disseminate infor-
mation on die cuts and is en-
couraging them to inform El
Paso's representatives that
students are concerned
During the Jan 27 SA meeting
Vice President of External Af-
fairs Felipe Luna announce rd that
two petitions are available for
students’ signatures in the lobby
of the SA office in 304 Union
East The petitions request
representatives on the state and
national level to fight further cuts
to education
The University also km fun-
ding for the Upward Bound pro-
gram last year Although the pro-
gram has continued in other
states, Reagan’s budget would cut
binding by 50 percent
Upward Round is part of a
series of federally funded pro-
grams designed hi help under
privileged children attend college
El Paso has only one of the pro-
grams. Educational Talent
Search, which would be
eliminated under the proposed
budget
Roberto Rosas, the program's
counselor-coordinator, explained
Talent Search helps people who
are seeking framing find schools
that offer that training, then helps
them obtain financ tal aid
Rosas said, "We usually place
os er 2,000 people per year, and
that's a minimum I don't believe
half of them would be able to at-
tend any type of college" if the
program were shut down
As Congress considers
Reagan’s proposed budget, a will
also consider his recommended
governmental pay raises
Congressman Ronald Coleman
introduced legislation blocking
the pay raise last Tuesday, stating
the president was wrong to sug-
gest it when the rest of the nation
is facing another year of
helt-tightening
“In these hard economic times,
a pay raise would be the wrong
signal at the wrong time when
others are making sacrifices. Both
domestic and federal spending
have been cut below necessary
levels, and a Congressic mat pay
raise in fix al year 1987 would be
unwarranted." Coleman said
