Persons may also have their money refunded by phoning or writing in, or receiving a refund on the night of the Fall Fling at the door. The reason behind canceling the lottery was the very poor response to

the campaign to sell tickets. Had the ASG continued with the ticket sales as planned, an estimated $8000 loss would have resulted. Jones and Truman blamed the poor response of ticket sales primarily on the state of the national economy. "People just don't have money to give away these days. They just weren't ready to part with $2. Even the Boy Scouts who were selling tickets for us in the community were generally unsuccessful, and that is something almost unheard of," said Jones. Truman expressed the belief that had the lottery been held a year earlier it probably would have been a success. "But this is a bad year. Charity drives are going to hurt all over," he said. Other reasons given for the failure of the drive was a lack of support from areas that had been counted on to provide manpower. "It just didn't catch on with the organizations on campus. Out of an estimated 20 such groups , only five joined in," the ASG president said. This lack of support apparently cut deeply into the expected "army of volunteers." The Project Palomar committe is going to operate on a smaller, more modest budget in the future, it was indicated, operating money-making ventures that are less risky and more sure of gaining cash returns. The Fall Fling will continue as scheduled, the onlv change being no door prize. In addition, the committee is busy scheduling dances and concerts in the future, most of which will not cost, since the ASG will be offering space to musical groups in return for a cut of the gate receipts. Jones and Truman, in particular, had much praise for those who worked on the ticket drive. "In all fairness to those who did work, they worked hard. Nobody dragged their feet. Enthusiasm was not lacking, only manpower," Jones said.

Financial aid increase reaches more students Overall Financial Aids monies have increased 435% in the last five years, it was reported at a recent meeting of the Western Association of Student Financial Aids Administrators, and funds are still growing. This is due mainly to wise spending in the past. Now. not only are lower class students being aided. but also middle and almost upper middle class students. Improvements in the system of Financial Aids are also seen for the future. For instance, a task force of Financial Aids administrators are presently working to condense all application forms into one with various supplements. How does all this affect students at PJC? As Financial Aids Officer J. Frank Hankin put it, "There is a growing trend toward more money. More needy students can now be helped." Presently, there are still many forms of aid available. Where it was originally thought that there would be no money left in reserve, there will probably be enough to aide 20 to 30 additional people next semester. This is because of students who were earlier given monies and who later qualified for Basic Educational Opportunity Grants (BEOG). Therefore, the money they had received is bein_g returped to the Office for redistribution under Hankin's direction. BEOG Programs are still available. Students who did not attend an institution of secondary education before April, 1974 can be eligible for basic grants of amounts from $112 up to $1050.
