BEOG processing halted
due to federal aid budget
By JERI JONES
Battalion Reporter
Processing of the 1981-82 Stu-
lent Elibibility Reports for the
lasic Educational Opportunity
Grants has stopped because of
>ossible tight federal funds.
“Students at Texas A&M Uni-
'ersity may not get their BEOGs
>n time next year if the federal
idministration and Congress can-
tot agree soon on who is eligible
or grants and how much money
hey should get,” Ann Vivero,
;rant coordinator for student
mancial aid, said.
The BEOG office in Los
Angeles is accepting student ap
plications, but they are not pro
cessing the reports, she said.
Usually a student makes an ap
plication for a BEOG to the Los
\ngeles-based office, and the
oasic grant office then processes
die application. They can either
|rant or deny aid to the applicant.
If the student is eligible for aid,
be is assigned an index number
based on the amount of need,
Vivero said.
After receiving the SER, the
student brings it to the Student
Financial Aid Office at Texas
A&M and payment is made.
Approximately 4,000 students
or 12.7 percent of the 31,443 stu-
Handmade
art on show
at Rudder
By SHARON D. RENFROW
Battalion Reporter
Art, crafts demonstrations,
music and a festive atmosphere
ire all part of the April Fool’s Fes-
:ival today and Thursday.
Local artisans are displaying
their works from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
iround the Rudder Tower Foun
tain at Texas A&M University.
Pottery, stained glass designs,
graphic art, tiber arts — anything
landcrafted — are being shown.
“Everything has to be hand
made or handcrafted,” Andy Bal
ly, assistant manager of the MSG
Craft Shop, said. “No kit-
produced items or items which are
cast in molds are allowed in the
festival. ”
To prevent such items from
being entered, a sample of each
item that the artisan plans to dis
play has been checked by the
Craft Shop management, Bally
said.
Along with the crafts displays,
information booths on various
MSG committees are set up.
“These booths are for those peo
ple who just walk by the MSG and
never come in,” Jill Teel, chair
man of the MSG day, said. They
will be able to find out about com
mittees available in the center,
she said.
The committees are providing
skits and other promotional activi
ties the first day of the festival.
And to get everybody in the spirit,
a yell practice is planned for noon,
Teel said.
Sherry Symank, a graduate stu
dent in biology, will entertain the
following day with her belly
dancing. Demonstrations in pot
tery-making by hand and by wheel
and jewelry-making with
horseshoe nails will also be pre
sented. And the performers in the
MSG All University Variety Show
will present a preview of the show
to be held on Friday.
The craft festival is put on every
semester, Bally said.
Armadillo
gets backing
from youths
United Press International
AUSTIN — It looks like the
youthful “armadillo lobby” has
won a partial victory in its efforts
to have the nine-banded animal
designated as the official state
mammal.
The lobby, headquartered at
Oak Creek Elementary and Wells
Middle School in Houston, won
quick House committee approval
Monday of a resolution giving the
title to the armadillo after two
years of lobbying. The resolution
now goes to the full House for con
sideration.
The backers of the resolution—
one in an armadillo suit, another
in her cheerleader outfit and a
third wearing an armadillo cap —
first bombarded the House Rules
Committee members with letters
supporting the proposal, then sof
tened them up by presenting
them “gingerdillos” — ginger
bread armadillos.
dents at Texas A&M
BEOGs.
The decision may take months
and cause an immense backlog as
Texas A&M receives the SERs.
“This will put us behind in pro
cessing grant payments,” Vivero
said.
Similar delays plagued payment
of the BEOGs last year. The
grants were cut by $50, Vivero
said, but the decision was not
made until August and required
many adjustments to be made be
fore students could receive their
grants.
Vivero encourages students to
apply for the BEOGs even though
the SERs are not presently being
processed.
Applicants will be notified by
the grant office when the federal
government and the U.S. Depart
ment of Education make a deci
sion.
Beginning with the 1981-82
academic school year, the BEOGs
will be called Pell Grants.
Artist uses Bible as inspiration
By CAROLYN BARNES
Battalion Reporter
The song of the human spirit is the theme
of artist Clarence Talley’s exhibit “Inspira
tions” on display in the Ernest Langford
Architecture Center this week.
Talley said the exhibit, sponsored by the
Department of Environmental Design,
“attempts to motivate and inspire the view
er to think, to ask questions, as well as seek
an answer.”
Talley says he reads the Bible to find
scriptures that could be used as inspirations
for his paintings.
“Everyone should make a contribution
in terms of bringing people to Christ,” Tal
ley said. “This just happens to be mine.”
Talley said his goal is to “visually preach
through my work."
One of his main themes is fertility, be
cause he said he believes “the Lord is the
only one who gives life.”
One of the three series of the exhibition
is a contemporary approach to the subject
of “The Nude,” with the female figure as
the central theme.
A distinct trademark of Talley’s works is a
wood-grained effect, created when the
artist places Vs-inch strips of masking tape
on the canvas and paints over them. When
the paint is dry and the strips are removed,
the resulting effect is a series of lines which
resembles the rings on the inside of a tree
trunk.
Talley, a native of Alexandria, La., is an
international exhibitor and a student of the
arts. He is currently assistant professor of
art at Prairie View A&M University and has
participated in invitational exhibits and has
had his work in many private and public art
collections.
