As to point 2, Committee 1 recommended: .
| PRELIMINARY REMARK: While every District will adapt the
“tent Aid Program to its own needs, the desirability of greater
qniformity within the general framework of the recommendations
adopted by. the Conference on District Student Aid is quite ap-
t. We therefore recommend the adoption of Section 2 of the
rt submitted by the District representatives for Student Aid —
with a slight change in the wording of the last paragraph of the
recommendation, as follows:

Waerzas, The Districts of the Church exercise complete control
over raising and expending funds to provide assistance for future
professional workers in the Church; and

. Wuaereas, There is:a wide variation in the practical administra-
tion of the Student Aid Program among the Districts; and

Wuenreas, Increased uniformity of practices in administering
student aid would be helpful to District student aid administrators,
to the colleges of the Church where supported students are en-
rolled, and to the more efficient conduct of the work of the church
at large; we therefore

Recommend, That the Districts be asked to study and, if pos-
sible, adopt the recommendations of the Conference on Student
Aid held at River Forest April 30 and May 1, 1952, in order to
achieve greater uniformity in the policies and practices of the
Student Aid Program.

ACTION
Synod resolved to accept this recommendation.

As to point 3, Committee 1 recommended:

PRELIMINARY RemMarK: Since the existing provision to require
students to perform work in repayment for student aid has been
found impractical for various reasons, we recommend the adoption
of Section 3 of the report submitted. by the District representatives
for Student Aid. :

Wuereas, Work programs already exist on. synodical college
campuses; and

Wuereas, The District Student Aid Program is specifically a
grant-in-aid, not an. employment ‘program; and

Wuereas, The administration of. work. requirements for student
aid by the colleges and Districts concerned is extremely difficult;
we therefore _— me :

Recommend, That Synod rescind its action of 1938 requesting
