Honorable John P. East
5313 Dirksen Building
Washington, DC 20510

Dear John:

I am forwarding a resolution on student federal financial aid
passed by the East Carolina University Faculty Senate on April 20,

1982. I wholeheartedly agree with the faculty concerns expressed

in the resolution. More than one-half of the 13,280 students attend-
ing this university receive some type of federal aid. Furthermore,
federal financial aid is a vital concern for each of the more than

100 public and independent colleges and universities in North Carolina
which serve approximately 280,000 students.

I will appreciate your assistance in helping preserve the present
level of federal student financial aid.

Sincerely,

John M. Howell
JMH/mb

RESOLUTION ON PROPOSED REDUCTIONS
IN FEDERAL ASSISTANCE TO STUDENTS

WHEREAS, the social and economic well being of the nation is
dependent upon an educated citizenry; and

WHEREAS, the proposed reduction of federal suppert for education
would severely affect individual students and could well
limit or deny access to higher education even for students
who are currently supporting their education through off-
campus employment; and

WHEREAS, the proposed reductions would have a particularly adverse
impact on minority and non-traditional students; therefore
be it

RESOLVED, that the Faculty Senate on behalf of the Faculty of Bast Py
Carolina University requests that the Chancellor entreat
the North Carolina Congressional Delegation to modify the
budget proposal to maintain at least the current levels
of funding for federal student financial aid program.
