Financial Aid Ditecto: With the Reagan Administration's budget cuts, which will affect thousands of students and their families in relation to the financing of their education, it is imperative for the relationship between the Finan- cial Aid Office and the students to take more initiative and considera- tion. Students must remember that in order for the staff to be more effec- tive, they must be responsible enough to fill out the necessary forms correctly so that their eligibility for aid can be processed efficiently. If students and their parents do their part in securing funds for the financ- ing their education, then the Financial Aid Office can help in the process by seeing that the aid if received. Students must remember these dedicated workers who often take the files home because there are nor enough working hours in a day to provide for the needs of students at Clark College. .
