NCC Obtains Aid For
Disadvantaged Students
A $23,897 Federal grant to benefit disadvantaged stu­dents
has been approved for the College by the State Educa-,

Professor Pamela McLean-rWainwright (of Uniondale) of
the College's Financial Counseling Center. They will be used
to develop a program to provide for the special needs of
single parents, displaced homemakers and other disadvan­taged
adult students.
"I like going out to sea. I've been around boats since I was
seven years old and 1 like being out on the water. The only
thing 1 don't like is being away from my wife, but that's as
much a part of the job as anything else," Harold says.
The program will provide disadvantaged aduU students
with specific information designed to help them gain emo­tional
and economic independence. Topics will include:
Financial Management, Decision Making, Employment
Readiness, Non-Traditional Occupations for Men and
Women, Overcoming Barriers to High Paying Occupations,

First Place Winners
The Bethpage RANGERS pose with trophies
and triumphant smiles after a victorious first
place effort in Brentwood's Columbus Day
weekend-long Soccer tournament. The roster of
contestants listed teams from as far as Virginia
and Canada. The Bethpage SMT Soccer 6lub's
entry in the 1974 Boys *A' Division overcame five
other Long Island Junior teams, two of which
play one division higher in the League, to win four
out of five games. Every game was sparked by
spirited over-all team play with all players contri­buting
their utmost. The team's inspired play
brought good comments from referees and other
Coaches on their talent, teamwork and sports­manship.
Such praise is another trophy in which
the team can take great pride. The team record is
44 wins, 7 ties and 7 losses to date.
