Chronicle Staff
Students at Durham College
are being invited to participate
on the Ontario Students
A'ssistance Program (OSAP)
Appeal Board for the 198182 school term.
The successful student
applicant will be a full
participating and voting member
on the board that decides
whet to do with OSAP refusals.
Students on the appeal
board ere paid $30 a day,
plus all expenses, for each
day worked.
OSAP is concerned about
making objective decisions for
financing students education
and decided that it would be
reasonable to have some
student representation on the
board.
The Appeal Board,
originally set up in 1964, considers cases of students who
epply for OSAP and who can't
get enough or any assistance
to help them through the year.
When a student puts forth
an appeal to OSAP,the awards
officer et that institution submits the appeal along with
documentation to the Appeal

Appeal Board would get a
copy of the documentation to
con&der and then would discuss
and then vote on the case.
Currently, there are 15
students and 12 awards officers
who sit on the board on a
rotating basis. Five people sit
on the board at one time.
They consist of a citizen
appointed by the minister, 2
students and 2 student award
officers.
Student awards officer
Dick Snowden is concerned
about inviting students to sit
on the Appeal Board. He says
that the applicant may think
that the system is not very
good and may use the Appeal
Board as a vehicle to express
that criticism. According to
Snowden the OSAP Appeal
Board is looking for approximetely 15 students who they
think will be reasonable representatives to serve on the
board.
The successful applicant
would be required to meet
with the Appeal Board once a
month from August to
November and once every
months for the rest of the

Burns was frequently asked the time of day at random

Some o!her common experiences of the experiment are a

bitter, !!POntaneous verbalization and the need to maintain
communication.
Burns experienced relatively few after-affects although
that may be accredited to the length of time he endured
isolation, the regular length for this type of experiment being
96 hours. Often the subjects experience difficulty in focusing
as they see a two-dimensional e vironment. They also often
experience confusion, headaches d mild nausea when they
