HEW’s Office of Education today
announced new regulations for the
College Work-Study (CW-S) Pro
gram, which creates job oppor
tunities for students who must earn a
part of their education expenses.
The regulations include a number
of changes made in response to pub
lic comment on proposed rules pub
lished Oct. 14, 1975. For example,
the definition of academic “good
standing” is expanded to require
evidence of “measurable progress”
toward completion of the course of
study. Definitions of “graduate” and
“half-time graduate” were added be
cause institutions expressed concern
that their individual requirements
might preclude graduate students
from meeting the original definition
of half-time.
Several changes are concerned
with determinations of financial
need. For example, a student’s enti
tlement to a Basic Educational Op-
VA looks at
GI grants
The Veterans Administration is
trying to hold schools responsible for
individual GI education grant de
faults. But if Texas A&M Univer
sity’s future record in that area re
sembles the one so far, it should be
no major problem here.
Ormond Simpson, associate vice
president of student services at
Texas A&M, says he knows of only 18
cases in which Texas A&M veterans
were on record as collecting benefits
questionably.
All the cases were satisfactorily
explained to VA representatives and
no penalties were levied against
Texas A&M. Most cases involved
clerical errors, Simpson said.
The VA is attempting under Title
38 to hold schools responsible if vet
erans attending the school drop out
of classes but continue to draw
monthly benefit checks.
At least one Texas institution is
facing a quarter million dollar loss
over 400 questionable cases.
Texas A&M now enrolls over
1,200 veterans, Simpson said, and a
new certification system should en
able A&M officials to keep a closer
watch on veteran enrollment in
order to keep VA regional adminis
trators in Waco updated on the
status of Aggie veterans.
Aggie veterans should report to
the VA campus representative now,
within the first two weeks of the
semester, to be certified for both fall
and spring semesters, he said.
Certification may be accom
plished by showing a fee slip.
However, if a veteran is attending
classes but does not become certified
within the first two weeks of the
semester, it may take as long as six
weeks after he becomes certified for
that veteran to be reinstated as far as
monthly benefit checks are con
cerned, cautioned Simpson.
Three-fourths of the A&M veter
ans have already been certified for
fall and spring semesters.
Certification for summer 1977 and
fall 1977 classes has to be done dur
ing the spring 1976 semester.
Fall graduates
must apply soon
A Sept. 10 degree application
deadline has been set for Texas A&M
students who expect to graduate this
fall.
Registrar Robert A. Lacey said
graduate and undergraduate stu
dents must apply in order to receive
degrees Dec. 11.
Application is a student responsi
bility.
Applications for degrees are made
in the Richard Coke Building. An $8
graduation fee is required. Under
graduates apply in Room 7.
Graduate students present the fee
receipt at the Graduate College 209.

portunity Grant will be taken into
account when determining his or her
need for employment under CW-S,,
whether or not the grant has been
applied for.
Generally, while classes are in
session employment will not average
more than 20 hours a week. But if 20
hours of work will not earn enough to
meet the student s needs, the finan
cial aid office may permit employ
ment of up to 40 hours a week. CW-S
students may not be employed to
replace regular employes who are
out on strike.
Grants under the College Work-
Study Program, authorized by the
amended Higher Education Act of
1965, are awarded by the Office of
Education to eligible postsecondary
education institutions which, in
turn, make job arrangements for
students. Employment may be with
the institutions (except in tbe case of
proprietary schools) or it may be off-
campus with a public or private non
profit organization, such as a day
care center or hospital. Eighty per
cent of the student’s wages are paid
out of Federal funds and employers
make up the remainder.
Last year over 3200 universities,
colleges, and vocational institutions
participated in the program. More
than 970,000 students, whose earn
ings averaged $520, were employed.
Protein rich “isolate” future food
Yarbrough case continued;
State Bar panel not finished
Associated Press
HOUSTON — A State Bar of
Texas committee considering com
plaints against Texas Supreme Court
nominee Donald B. Yarbrough will
not make a final recommendation for
several more weeks, the chairman of
the group said yesterday.
John Teed said there are still more
witnesses to be heard. The nine-
attorney group has been meeting
almost weekly for the past several
months.
Yarbrough is a defendant in 16
lawsuits and grievances against him
arose from some of the lawsuits.
You may not understand the pro
cess of making isolates, but you’re
going to be eating them soon.
Soybeans, cottonseed and peanuts
will have to provide much of the pro
tein for the world’s population after
the next few decades, taking over the
roles of conventional protein sources
like meat and milk products.
The removal of protein molecules
from these oilseeds has been proven
to be practical. Texas A&M Univer
sity food scientists and engineers are
now seeking, via a new approach, to
accomplish this more cheaply and to
remove environmental threats as
sociated with current commercial
methods.
A team headed by associate re
search engineer J. T. Lawhon of
A&M’s Oilseed Products
Laboratories is attacking the prob
lem of testing a “second generation”
of membrane systems used to re
trieve these valuable protein prod
ucts from oilseed flours.
The project is funded by the
RANN (Research Applied to Na
tional Needs) Division of the Na
tional Science Foundation in the
amount of $425,268 over a 39-month
period. The laboratories are part of
the Texas Engineering Extension
Service. Assisting in the project are
D. W. Hensley and Dwaine Mul-
sow. Food Protein Research and
Development Center engineers.
Acting as consultants are Dr. Karl
Mattil, director of the FPRDC, and
Dr. Carl Carter, head of the Oilseed
Products Division of FPRDC.
The systems they are looking at
are so exact they separate salts,
sugars and water but retain the pro
tein molecules. The collected pro
tein molecules build into an ex
tremely protein rich (90 per cent or
more) product called an isolate
which can be added to various foods
and drinks.
“The economic key to this process
is direct and fast filtration,” ex
plained Lawhon. “A new range of
products will result from these ap
plications to food processing.
“The world cannot continue in
definitely on its present course with
world food needs increasing so
rapidly,” Lawhon explained. “Pro
tein foods are seen to be in the most
critical shortage.
“Meeting these needs doesn’t lie
primarily in expanding conventional
sources but rather using oilseed pro
teins for direct consumption by hu
mans,” he continued. “This seems
the best possibility for bridging the
‘protein gap’ that exists in the diet i
over half the world’s population.
“The marketing of soy protein isc
lates and concentrates for use i
human food is rapidly gaining a<
ceptance in the U.S.,” Lawhon sak
