THE DRAFT-AID LAW WAS TURN-
ED OFF & ON AGAIN BY THE
COURTS, BUT THE GOVERNMENT
NOW STALLS ENFORCEMENT UN-
TIL OCT. 1ST.
Education Sec. Terrel Bell first gave
schools until Sept. 1 to make sure all male
aid applicants had registered for the dratt, but
has pushed the deadline now to Oct. 1st.
The law says men can’t get aid if they
haven’t registered. They must now sign a
form swearing they’ve done it.
Bell extended the deadline because schools
said they couldn’t track nonsigning students
down during the summer.
AVERAGE COLLEGE COSTS WILL
RISE 10% THIS YEAR, THE COL-
LEGE BOARD FINDS.
In its annual survey of costs—tuition,
housing, supplies, transportation, personal
expenses — it found planned increases down
a little from last year’s average 11% leaps.
Four-year public college students will
spend $4721 this year. Four-year private
students will fork out $8440.
Two-year college students will pay an
average $3400.
Top 10 in tuition & fees: Harvard ($9700),
Bard College (9630), M.I.T. (9600),
Princeton (9450), Brown (9405), Sarah
Lawrence (9355), Hamshire (9260), Yale
(9050), Stanford (9027), Columbia (8942).
ENROLLMENTS MAY STAY
STEADY AFTER ALL, THE NA-
TIONAL CENTER FOR EDUCA-
TION STATISTICS SAYS.
The government agency expects this year’s
campus population to stay near last year’s
record 12.4 million, and predicts it may stay
over 12 million throughout the decade.
The findings contradict predictions of
precipitous enrollment declines which were to
start in fall, 1981.
The agency did find a lower percentage of
students enrolled full-time, however.
Two-year schools now have 38% of the
college population, compared to 26% in
1970.
The Division of Continuing Education at
The University of Texas at San Antonio will
offer a review seminar for persons interested
in taking the Law School Admissions Test
(LSAT). The course will be conducted on
Sept. 17 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Hemisfair
Plaza.
The session will feature information on
writing samples, analytical reasoning, facts in
dispute, and more. Cost for the LSAT review
is $65 which includes lunch and materials.
For more information, contact the UTSA
Division of Continuing Education at
691-4630.
Money available
for college grants
loans and
scholarships
Academic Guidance Services (AGS) is a
research and processing organization. There
are literally thousands of scholarships and
grants which are unused each school year
because parents and students just don’t
know that they exist. The amount of money
which is “lost” to the public in this manner,
simply through the lack of information, is
enormous. AGS program entitled
FINANCIAL-AID FINDER matches and
electronically prints out known eligibility re-
quirements of financial sources, their ad-
dresses, the amount of aid offered as well as
other pertinent information. The student
completes a short questionnaire so that the
student’s background and other information
may be matched to the requirements of the
funding sources and scholarships. For addi-
tional information and the questionnaire,
write AGS, 10254th St. Eureka, CA. 95501
or call (707) 443-3421.
Degree may
be worth a
million
(CPS) — College graduates earn about 40
percent more over a lifetime than non-grads,
but men continue to earn about twice as
much as women regardless of educational at-
tainment, a new Census Bureau study
shows.
Male college grads can expect to earn from
$1.2 to $2.75 million over a lifetime, accor-
ding to the study, while male high school
grads will take in only $860,000 to $1.87
million.
Women, on the other hand, will make from
$520,000 to $1.2 million’if they have college
degrees, and between $380,000 and
$800,000 with only high school diplomas,
fhe study reports.

job-related personnel skills in humaq relation-
ships as well as drafting skills. In addition,
