Students applying for financial aid at Central State University might have better luck getting what they need if a bill proposed by Rep. M.C. Leist, D-Morris, is approved by the senate. The bill would transfer $1 million from the endowed chairs program to student aid. This bill would also give higher education $54 million in new funds. Leist said nearly 40 percent of eligible students did not receive student aid last year. "You wouldn't dispute that this was an obligation that we've paid for and taken care of in the past?" said Rep. Dwayne Steidley, DClaremore. "I certainly wouldn't," said Leist. "And would you also dispute that maybe we haven't been taking good enough care of some of these kids that are having a hard time making their tuition payment?" The amendment would cut the $7.5 million for endowed chairs by $1 million and add it to the $13.28 million already earmarked for student aid. Leist said his proposal is "simply a question of priorities" and that the priorities "should be with the students." "About three years ago we developed a program for academic
scholars in an attempt to keep and attract talented scholars to our state," said Pat Crown, fiscal analyst. The endowed chairs program sets up a one to one match for every dollar contributed to a university through non-state funds. This money is then put into an account where it collects interest. The money earned in the account is used to establish a chair in a particular college, purchase research and lab equipment, and guarantee professor salaries corning to our state. "We have to be subjective when appropriating money, and Leist felt that the endowment program was a good program to take from," said Crown. Rep. Carolyn Thompson, DNorman, chairman of the House Education Committee, told Leist that some positions would have to be eliminated if the money was taken from the appropriations for endowed chairs. Her motion to kill the Leist amendment by having it tabled failed 52-45. The bill was approved on the House floor and the amendment will be changed to show the approval, said Crown. A General Conference Committee on Appropriations will be selected and they will make the final decision on the bill the last six weeks of session, she said. V
Survey reveals students satisfied By David LoBaugh Staff Writer The results of a scientific survey of Central State University students, taken during the fall of 1990 and conducted by the Enrollment Management Coordinating Committee, were recently released. An American college testing survey
called the "Student Opinion Survey" was used and a cross-section of 22 sections returned results. The findings showed students are satisfied with most services at CSU, but there are also areas students think need improvement, said Dr. Ed Cunliff, a committee member and director of institutional research and planning said. The survey, which was answered by 728
students, was done to give administration and department heads an idea of what students think concerning individual programs. "Our intent is, essentially, to study, analyze, try to understand and make recommendations. We have no authority to impl-
