Registered nurses who success-fully complete the program will receive a Bachelor of Science degree McKay speech tonight Jim .McKay, whose reporting has won him seven Emmy awards, will speak tonight at 8 pm. at the Towson Center as part of the Student Government Association Speaker Series. McKay, will be introduced by WBAL'sportscaster Vince -Bagli and will speak on ""My Wide World of Sports."" Known to most as the hOst of ABC's long-running series, ""Wide World of Sports,"" McKay became the first commentator ever to win an Emmy award in 1968: He was awarded two Emmys for his work at the 1972 Olympic games in Munich. one for his report on the Israeli tragedy, and another for his sports coverage. McKay also received two other distinguished awards for his work at Munich, the George Polk Memorial Award for Journalism, and the Officer's Cross of Merit, awarded by the West German government. He has been with ""Wide World"" since its inception in 1961, covering more than 100 different sports in 40 different countries. He spent his teenage years in Baltimore and graduated from Loyola College in 1943. � After a three-year stint in the Navy, he became a television broadcaster, writer, and producer in 1947 at WMAR-TV in Baltimore. He went to New York to host a variety Show in 1950, and his carper in sports commentating began With a segment on a news program for CBS. McKay started doing network sports reporting in the late 50's. covering college football and an-choring the Masters and PGA golf championships for CBS. He is currently a regular on ABC's golf telecasts and other network pro-grams. with a major in nursing and will be able to enroll in masters programs in � nursing. The nursing program is accredited by the National League of ( Nursing. Elizabeth Kennan, coordinator for baccalaureate education for regis-tered nurses. said the department has applied for a federal grant to finance additional faculty and courses. Next semester the program will be open to a limited number of full-time and part-time students. The goal is to admit 55 register6d nurses to. the program said Keenan but they won't hear about the grant for months because, they submit the request almost a year in advance. All students enrolling in these courses must be screened and accepted as nursing majors before matriculation into the nursing courses. The registered nurses will take the same courses as other nursing majors. but they will have the option to take exams for credit for prior experience. All students will be required to enroll in the senior level nursing courses. Keenan said she thinks the program ""is going to be very popular.' She said there is an increased ) emphasis on registered nurses have Bachelor's degrees instead of just Associate's Degrees or dip-lomas. There have been many inquirie3 over the past years as to when we were going to open the program to RNs.,'' she said. TI., Photo by Barbara l,whforth More BEOG funds available for students by Patrick Casey The Middle Income Student Assistance Act, passed in the final days of the 95th Congress and recently signed by President Carter, will make an estimated 1,500 to 2,200 Towson students eligible for federal financial aid for the '79-'80 academic year, ac-cording to Harriet M. Griffin, director of financial aid. The legislation raised the income eligibility ceiling for Basic Educa-tional Opportunity Grants, increased the average grant under that pro-gram, increased funding for the Col-lege Work Study Program, and broad-ened eligibility for Guaranteed Stu-dent Loans and for federal subsidies of interest on those loans. Griffin could only estimate the number of students affected by the new program, as it is illegal for the University to gather income informa-tion except from students applying for financial aid. But it is certain that many students will be eligible for substantial amounts of new federal aid. But Linda Human, associate director of financial aid, warned that no new aid is assured until Congress appropriates the necessary funds. Not enough funds were approp-riated this year to cover the provisions of the program. There is a contingency plan which would pro-rate the programs at a lower level should Congress not pro-vide the necessary money. Physics teacher Bareham awarded 43y Michele Osh man Dr. John Bareham, TSU physics professor was the recipient of the first Maryland Association of Science Teachers' Award, Dr. Bareham was picked unani-mously by the organization's Exe-cutive Board at its annual fall meeting. The award pays tribute to individuals who have furthered .,;cieoce education in. work with students and/or teachers. MAST's award recognized Bareham's cont-ribution to the development of background information in the field of geology. Bareham has worked with area teachers through the MAST. He has � written instructional booklets, tra-velled to elementary and junior high schools to present illustrated lec-tures, and each year runs field trips especially for teachers. For the past three summers he has taken groups of science instructors on a weeklong trip to West Virginia. I3areham's physical geology and geomorphology courses combine lectures, slides. and field trips for teachers. Bareham has been teaching at Tsu since 1956. Dr. Loretta Molitor. colleague in the physics department. said. ""After many years of fine service to the science community of Baltimore, it's splen-did that John received.this award."" , Bareham said of his award. ""I NVIIS out of town on a field trip when I got the award. I understand that the balloting was close but I edged the others out in the swimsuit competi-tion."" Dr. John Bareham was awarded the first Maryland Association of Science Teachers' Award for his science work with teachers and students. Eligibility for a BEOG of at least $250 was raised to a $25,000 annual level of family income. But a family income of $25,000 or less will not guarantee a grant. ""It's not inscribed in gold,"" Griffin said. ""The family [ with $25,000 or lower annual income] may not get it, depending on the amount of their assets."" Griffin added that small family size may also cause denial of a grant. Also, a student whose family holds no assets and has large numbers of children may receive a grant regard-less of whether the family's income exceeds $23,000. The maximum BEOG was increas-ed from $1,600 to $1,800. Eligibility for the maximum grant stops generally at $12,500 annual family income, 'although this too is subject to adjust-ment for assets and number of children. BEOG eligibility for self-supporting students was also increased. Students with no assets and income up to $3,450 annually would qualify for a max, imum grant. The ceiling for BEOG eligibility for self-supporting students will be $6,000. Increased appropriations for Col-lege Work Study will bring 280,000 new students nationwide into the program, many in the ""middle income"" range of $16,000 to $25,000 annual income. Griffin is uncertain how many Towson students will be newly eligible for College Work Study due to the lack of income statistics for students' families. Students on College Work Study will receive $2.90 per hour beginning July 1, 1979. The minimum wage moves to $2.90 on January 1, 1979. The legislation also made all students, regardless of income, eligi-ble for the Guaranteed Student Loan Program, and for federal subsidy to pay the interest on such loans until the student graduates. Students will have to pay interest beginning nine to 12 months after leaving college at a rate of seven per cent per year. GSL's are made through banks, so any actual increase in the number of loans will depend upon whether the banks provide necessary funds. Griffin feels the banks will meet new requests for loans under the pro-gram. ""The banks may be more amenable to lending tO middle-income students . . . land] the banks are being leaned on by the federal government to give more loans."" Feelings are mixed among area banks whether they will be able to meet substantial new loan requests.
