Nationally, state agencies issue
about $3 billion in student aid bonds
each year, Frolichsen says, and
countless numbers of financially
strapped students are aided both
directly and indirectly by the capital
they pump into the student aid
market.
But “nothing restricts (the loan
money) to students who are needy,”
Davis replies. “Some of the bond
money is used by individual, private

Besides, he contends, “the Sallie

Association, which sells taxable stu

BY BILL FORTENBERRY
Dr. Robert Myers, associate pro
fessor of geography at WGC, has been
asked to survey and monitor the par
ticulate matter in the atmosphere
around Carrollton. According to
Myers, the Air Quality Evacuation
Section of the Department of Natural
Resources asked him to begin his
survey three or four years ago.
Environmental problems have
always been of concern to Carrollton
citizens, and it is due to these con
cerns that the government asked
Myers to begin his monitoring ac

Using a device known as a high
volume continuous air sampler,
situated on the roof of the Geography
Building, Myers is able to measure
the amounts of particulate matter.
The actual process is simple. A
vacumn pulls air into the system
through a filter. The filter is then
mailed to the Air Quality Evaluation
Center for tests. Myers tests the air
for 24 hours, at six day intervals. This
interval provides a random sample
from each day of the week.
Thus far, Myers has noticed the
presence of few, if any, particles that
