To Fdale
On Thursday February 26, in the Roosevelt Hall l.itlle Theater, the
Campus Activities Board will sponsor a very special presentation.
Founded in 1968, incorporated in 1975, the Hoys (]hoir of Harlem iias achieved
world-class stature—with audiences in Paris, Tokyo, Amsterdam and »'lsewhere
abroad-in New York City, Atlantic Boston, Birmingham and at all important stapes
along the Atlantic Seaboard, including thr While House for President arid Mrs.
Heagan.
The training program is the heart and soul ol the Choirs successes-intensive
classes in vocal technique, sight-singing, and daily rehearsals.
Together with career, social and adolescent counseling, addressing the total nee<ls
of the singers, they add up to enthusiasm, exeitement and vitality.
It is the total singer that you hear on stage-from elementary school age through high
school years and beyond. The curriculum embraces the chorister from boyhood to
manhood yielding strong, responsive, authoritative voices with a wide-ranging
repertoire-the classics, contemporary, gospel, spirituals, jazz, and more-the
chtweography is unique. ' .
The Boys Choir of Harlem is unlike any other you've ever experienced!

WATC, the campus radio
station, and the RAMBLER
still have many openings on
their staff for interested
students.
Working on the staff of WATC is a
learning experience which will bepefit
students in any major. If you are
currently involved in a communications
related field, think of the first hand
experience that you will receive by being
a member of the WATC family.
However, membership is not restricted
to only those students who are in majors
that deal with broadcasting. Experience
is not a necessity and the current
members of WATC will be more than
willing to teach and help any student
serious about working for the statioa
The stations first meeting will lake
place Feb. 5th at 11:15 in the WATC
lobby located through the lA>ft Lounge in
Roosevelt HalL
The staff of the RAMBLER still has
openings for reporters, photographera,
editors, sports writers, and layout artists
and we would be happy to meet with any
students who feel that they would be a
positive member of our staff.
Being on the RAMBLER has many
benefits such as experience that can only
be learned by working on an up and
coming news publication such as ours.
Although it does take dedication, you
will not be required to be in the office
every free minute you have. Only to do
the jobs asked of you and to volunteer
whatever free time you can spare to the
betterment of our paper. Experience is
not necessary and all students are
welcome.
Our first meeting will be Feb. 3rd at
11:30 in the RAMBLER office located in

On January 5, President Reagan
released his fiscal year 1988 budget
proposal for Congressional consideratioa
The budget contains dramatic changes
for the student aid programs used by
thousands of New Yorkers each year to
meet their college costs.
Overall, the President's budget would
eliminate an estimated 350,000 federal
awards worth $500 million fur New York
students. The Guaranteed Student Loan
(GSL) program, the largest financial aid
program, would be particularly hurt by
proposals to increase interest rates and
fees paid by students and to reduce
government support provided to lenders
and guarantee agencies. The GSL
program, which now provides nearly
$760 million annually to New York
students, would be reduced by an
estimated 45%.
Several other Title IV financial aid
programs would be eliminated entirely
and the budget proposes to stiffen
student eligibility requirements and
increase family contribution rates.
Congress must now review the
President's proposals and act on them,
including authorization and
appropriation legislation, before any of
the President's budget can be
.implemented I urge you to use this time
period to contact your elected
representatives and express your
opinion of the proposals.
If you have any questions or would
like additional detail, please contact
Peter Keitel, Executive Vice President
(518-474-5775) or Charles Treadwell,
Program Specialist (518-474-1549).
