Seminars teach
about process
for financial aid
By Mary-Lynne Rice
Staff Writer
The Student Financial Aid De
partment is offering four gener al-in
formation seminars on the financial
aid process to prepare faculty and
staff, advisers, deans and depart
ment heads who deal with students
needing or receiving financial aid.
Representatives from each section
of the financial aid department —
Information and Counseling; Proc
essing, which includes giants and
student files; Scholarships, and Em
ployment and Loans — will explain
its regulations and procedures at the
seminars, which will be on Thurs
day, Tuesday, April 6 and April 13.
Taft Benson, directoi of financial
aid, will give a general overview of
department policy.
“We want: to explain what: the (fi
nancial aid) office does, how things
are handled, how to apply for aid,
how it’s determined who receives
aid, ’ information and counseling ad
ministrator Dawn Derr said. 'A lot
of people are not aware that we’re
here. A student may be having fi
nancial diffic ulties and be unaware
of his options and possibilities. ”
Many faculty and staff members
also are unfamiliar with the services
offered by the Financial Aid Office,
Derr said
The seminars are designed to
teach those attending to give better
direction to their students. Last year,
more than 100 faculty and staff
members attended the session, she
said.
Appealing University decisions to
revoke aid because of grade or credit
hour deficiencies is an especially
misunderstood procedure, Deri
said.
“If a student wants to appeal the
decision, we request a letter from the
dean, a department head or an advi
ser,’’ she said. “Some people have
been concerned about that, and we
want to alleviate any hesitation they
may have about providing informa
tion.
“We just need the letter to say We
think this student will do all right’
from someone who has a better
knowledge of the student’s academic
side than we do. Advisers are some
times a little afraid that they'll be
held responsible it the student
flunks out the next semester — but
they’re not.”
Because of confusion or misun
derstanding of financial aid regula
tions, Derr said, some students who
receive financial aid and work on
campus have been told that they are
net longer eligible to hold their jobs.
“That reflects badly on us,’’ she
said. “We’re trying to explain a little
better how everything works. Profes
sors are learning and saying, T
didn’t understand that that’s how it
works.’ ”
Faculty and staff interested in at
tending one of the free seminars,
held from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in 225
Pavilion, should call Derr at 845-
3981 at least two days before the ses
sion begins.
Amnesty program
causes confusion
DALLAS (AP) — A group of im
migration advocates said a six-
month extension proposed in a con
gressional compromise is not
enough foi the amnesty program,
which ciitics say has been been beset
by confusion and fear.
“There still is tremendous conf u
sion in the community” about the
amnesty law’s provisions, Vanna
Slaughter of Catholic Charities said
Monday.
Slaughter said thousands of eligi
ble immigrants who didn't apply ear
lier because of feat or lack of money
or information have stepped for
ward in recent weeks.
“We’re seeng a lot of confused
people who are just gett ing the mes
sage that they are eligible,” site said.
The year-long amnesty program
being administered by the Immigra
tion and Naturalization Service ends
May 4.
A bill introduced last week by
Rep. Romano Mazzoli, D-Ky., would
extend the amnesty deadline an ad
ditional six months, a compromise
between those who favor a year’s ex
tension and those who oppose any
extension.
Immigration advocates criticized
the INS for reducing staff at several
of its legalization offices and step
ping up enforcement efforts, which
they said could frighten away poten
tial applicants.
“In this mass confusion, we want
to make sure that everybody gets a
fair shot,” said Marcos Ronquillo,
chairman of the Texas State Bar's
immigration-law committee.
He said immigration advocates
also favor a relaxation in INS regula
tions over the deportation of family
>le
members ineligible for amnesty.
Jury indicts man on charge
of murder in deputy shooting
HOU S TON (AP) — A grand jury
indicted a 23-year-old man on a cap
ital murder charge in the shooting
death last week of a Fort Bend
County Sheriff’s deputy.
Francisco Cardenas, a Mexican
national, was indicted Monday in the
slaying of 33-year-old Eugene James
“Gene” Heimann.
Frank Follis, first assistant district
attorney, said Cardenas also was in
dicted on a charge of burglary of a
habitation and two aggravated rob
bery charges.
Heimann, a five-year veteran of
the Fort Bend County Sheriffs De
partment, was shot and killed March
21 after stopping on Fartn-to-Mar
ket Road 1462 to question two hitch
hikers about burglaries.
Cardenas’ brother, Juan Jose Car
denas, 18, was indicted Monday on
two charges of aggravated robbery
and one charge of burglary of a hab
itation, Follis said. Elizabeth Flores
Martinez, 20, also was indicted on a
related burglary of a habitation
charge, he said.
The trio is suspected of commit
ting burglaries in residential areas.
