At the College Scholarship
Service office need for aid is
determined by the financial
circumstances of a family.
“Costs ought not to defeat
any applicant at this stage of
the game,” Hall said, “because
money is available to help stu
dents defray tuition and living
expenses while at college.”
He said, however, that a
major battle lies ahead if fed
eral financial aid to needy stu
dents is to continue at a suffi
cient level for the academic
year beginning in 1984-85 and
subsequent years.
“We tell students and fami
lies to react but don’t over
react when the Administra
tion’s budget proposals finally
are sent to Congress,” Hall
said.
Programs for post
secondary education include:
— PELL GRANT PROG
RAM. Provides grants based
on need to undergraduate
students. Congress annually
sets the dollar range. The Col
lege Board said in a recent
year the grants ranged from
$200 to $1,670 per year.
SUPPLEMENTAL
EDUCATIONAL OPPOR
TUNITY GRANTS. The
SEOG payouts range from
$200 to $2,000 a year. This
federal program is adminis
tered by the colleges to pro
vide need-based aid to under
graduates.
— COLLEGE WORK-
STUDY PROGRAM. Typic
ally, the CWSP students work
10 to 15 hours a week during
the school year and more dur
ing vacation. They earn at
least the federal minimum
wage.
— NATIONAL DIRECT
STUDENT LOAN PROG
RAM. The NDSL provides
loans of up to $3,000 for the
first two undergraduate years
and up to $6,000 for the total
undergraduate program. Re
payment doesn’t start until
education is completed or li
mited periods of service in the
military; Peace Corps, AC
TION, or comparable organi
zations are completed. Repay
ment also may be waived, par
tially or wholly, for certain
kinds of employment.
— STATE STUDENT IN
CENTIVE GRANTS. Funds
awarded by the federal gov
ernment or state governments
to encourage establishment
and for expansion of state
grant programs.
— GUARANTEED STU
DENT LOANS. This prog
ram lets students borrow
money for education ex
penses directly from banks
and other lending institu
tions. Dependent students
may borrow up to $2,500 an
academic year and up to
$7,500 for the total undergra
duate program. Students
from families with an adjusted
gross income in excess of
$30,000 per year must de
monstrate need to qualify.
The federal government pays
interest while student is in col
lege. Repayment need not be
gin until completion of educa
tion.

Abused monkeys get help
United Press International
LEON SPRINGS — In the
rolling ranch country northwest
of San Antonio, amid dusty
rocks and gnarled live oaks,
three men live with more than
100 monkeys and birds that
have been rescued from death.
The animals, most of which
are loud and neurotic, are not
pets and some of them hate peo
ple. All of them were rejected by
zoos, used up in laboratories or
mistreated as pets before find
ing a permanent home at Pri
marily Primates Inc.
“There’s never been any real
alternative to death for many of
these animals,” said Wallace
Swett, one of the founders. “But
many of them could live another
10 to 20 years.”
Swett had worked in zoos for
20 years when he and two
friends, Gregory Miller and
Kenneth Oberg, decided in
1978 to set up a non-profit, per
manent sanctuary for rejected
animals condemned to death.
They now have about 60
monkeys, mostly mistreated be
cause of their owners’ ignor
ance, about 50 birds and an
occasional goat or horse.
“A baby monkey is charming,
a little surrogate human being,”
Swett said. “But they grow up.
They get aggressive and they get
tossed around from pillar to
post until they bite somebody se
verely. The owners feel bet
rayed and usually the animal is
killed.”
Others would have been kil
led at the end of laboratory ex
periments, he said, or when zoos
felt they were not suitable for
display because of some disfi
gurement.
The stone house that Swett,
Miller and Oberg bought for
their project is pretty ordinary
— except for the cages in the
kitchen that contain tiny squirrel
monkeys. On the acres out back
are strong cages that hold the
larger animals, most of them
screaming for attention as the
men walk by.
One is Sammy, a woolly
monkey who was fed nothing
except sweet breakfast cereal for
eight years. He developed rick
ets and now every bone in his
body, including his skull, is de
formed.
Bo, a capuchin who lived with
an Arizona family, was kept in a
parakeet cage and finally grew
too big for the door. The cage
had to be cut away before he was
brought to Texas.
“He hates people,” Swett said.
“I don’t blame him.”
Bobby, a white-handed gib
bon, had his teeth removed and
was castrated when he became
too aggressive for the family that
owned him. He still has fits of
temper.
“Castration doesn’t work with
primates,” Swett said. “It only
frustrates them.”
Because most of the animals
were raised alone, they do not
know how to relate socially or
sexually toother monkeys, Swett
said. They relate to human
beings instead.
Violet, for instance, a weeper
capuchin, flirts madly with Mil
ler when he walks near her cage.
But she ignores the male monk
eys who live with her.
