Since none of us believe in reinventing the wheel, and who has time anyway, I obtained his permission to forward this to our organization as well. Timing is crucial, so please communicate your concerns, if you agree. nm Dear OASFAA Colleagues, As you know on September 18th the House passed the Student Aid and Responsibility Act of 2009 (H.R. 3221) and the Health, Education and Labor Committee (HELP) is beginning the process to mark up their bill in the Senate. Now would be the time to act if you feel strongly about the provisions in H.R. 3221. Two of the major changes within H.R. 3221 center on the delivery of federal student loans to our students. First, of course, is the elimination of the FFELP programs and the migration of the federal loans program to the Direct Loan Program. The second major change is the elimination of the current Perkins loan program as we know it and the introduction of a new loan type, the Federal Direct Perkins Loan, under the existing Direct Loan program. Right now under the House bill the effective date for these two significant changes is July 1, 2010. The highest concern is the lack of lead time needed by over 4500 institutions nationwide to convert to the Direct Loan Program. The Student Loan Community Proposal (www.studentloanfacts.org ) endorses all of the core principles of the Administration's reform effort while maintaining choice, competition and superior service for students, without requiring the transition of systems. This proposal was submitted to Congress and scored by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). The CBO concluded that mandatory savings of $87 billion can be achieved by either the community proposal or H.R. 3221, the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2009. If a July 2010 implementation of elimination of the FFELP Program concerns you, I would urge you to communicate your concerns to our senators now. If you are so inclined to make some calls, I am attaching a list of the senators that are members of the HELP Committee as well. The following link will give you contact information for the Oklahoman's representing us in the U.S. Congress. It is suggested that any letters be faxed to the D.C. office since timing is such a factor. http://www.odl.state.ok.us/usinfo/congress/index.htm Nancy Moats, President -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

With the absence of the Fall Conference, there is less business for the board agenda, but I would like to bring you up to date on what we are doing. We met on July 22 at the Moore-Norman Technology Center. Committee Chairs reported their progress in organizing their membership and beginning the planning process for their duties. The search for conference locations in the Tulsa area for the 2010-2011 year are underway. A proposal for the Membership dues process was discussed and adopted. A budget for the 2009-10 year was established and approved. Acknowledging the fact that our income resources will most likely be much less than previous years, the expenses were also lowered to cut the frills and we managed a bottom line in the black. The board will begin work on a brochure to promote our organization to Legislators, High School Counselors, College Presidents, etc. This idea came from discussion and examples at the NASFAA Leadership Conference as ways to let our state leaders and educators know that we are willing to answer their questions; share our knowledge; educate students and contribute to the community through service. David Barron took on the job of brochure design. A second meeting was held September 25th at the Northeastern State University Broken Arrow Campus. Our treasurer, Mendy Schmerer, was absent due to the birth of Abagail, but reports that the membership invoicing process is half-way completed and several payments already received. A big thanks to those schools and the rest of you can expect invoices at a later date. The website is now updated with the currently revised Board members, constitution and by-laws. David Barron had overheads of the draft brochure for suggestions and changes. It is coming along well. It was decided that our conference theme for the Spring 09 Conference will be a Circus. We want to look on the bright side of this year's challenges, have fun, enjoy some humor and escape from the stress. On the other hand, the confusing, convoluted legislation, rules and regulations brings to mind the statement, "It's a circus!" J Lee Kanakis is pursuing several possible sites for the 2009-10 conference in the Tulsa area. Suggestions are also welcome. NASFAA Fall training was extremely expensive this year. Even if we met as groups, each school would be charged $95, plus their travel, meals, and we would also have to print the materials. The cost to attend individually was $380 - $700+ depending on membership status. Fortunately, FSA also offered free webinars covering the same subjects, for free, about that same time. That information was forwarded to you and we hope you were able to take advantage of that opportunity. Hopefully, several schools will be able to attend FSA in December. A statewide OGSLP Conference Call with Mary Mowdy and Rick Edington, held just days before, was discussed with those who did not participate. In the call, we were assured that OGSLP is supportive of HR3221 regarding community colleges. Mary also described the 10 areas in which they plan to continue providing services for the financial aid community. Their printed educational materials are very appealing and comprehensive and available free for our use, so check them out. Mary reports that cohort default rates just inched up in Oklahoma, but many states saw a big increase. Congratulations to Rick Edington for being appointed Interim Director in Mary Mowdy's position at OGSLP. A big "Thank you" to Mary for her years of dedication and knowledge and best wishes for her retirement. The announcement was also made by SWASFAA recently that the newly elected officers for 2011 include Laura Coponiti as President and Andrew Hammontree as Oklahoma Delegate. We should be well represented on the regional level. The attached letter was approved by the board and faxed to the Oklahoma Senators and leading members of the Senate Education Committee. Please consider writing the Senate with your own thoughts. The next meeting will be held in mid-November. If you have any concerns or ideas, please contact your delegates, Carol Stanfield and Dustin Davidson. Without the fall conference and opportunities to gather as an organization and financial aid family, we could easily lose our networking and personal connections. Please keep the listserv, board or me informed of events, joys, concerns, etc. Together we can be strong - even if it is a circus out there.

It's Oct 8, 2009 and we've had BigDog for almost 2 years. He's gotten fatter ("hey, these French fry things are GOOD!") and is still eating my socks ....seriously, last night he gulped one down while I was taking clothes to the utility room. Don't tell the vet, he's supposed to be on a diet. To this day, he's still only barked that one time, but he does tend to "talk" a little bit more....especially when you scratch him just right. We thought we had him placed with a vet-med student in Stillwater, we were supposed to take him to her over Labor Day but suddenly she stopped emailing.....maybe I shared too much (moi?!) about his sock eating habits. Sadly, we lost our two eldest last fall, Bismarck the racing dachshund was 17 and Tounces the Driving Cat (well, he liked to lay on the car) was 18. They had good long lives and certainly enriched ours. Spanky the Chihuahua is now 12 and Lily our little dachshund is now 11 and she's still in command of the household. Shoot, we're all old at our house....Eugene turned 56 last month and I'll hit the double nickel in January. Yes, we're both eligible to retire....but what would we have to gripe about if we didn't work? We'll both have hit 30 years with OU in Fall of 2010, maybe then it will be time. In August, Anika Cole-Carr (she handled all our non-traditional students) left OU for ATI in Oklahoma City. So, I'm covering that area until her replacement is selected & trained....I had time on my hands because old people don't sleep much. Brad is still shepherding the Banner project (we're 75% finished, the Bursar converts in December). The egg business has changed a little....he's phasing out his chicken operation & has a group of farmers who keep the chickens and supply the eggs. He operates the 'clearinghouse' that packages & delivers to the end customers. Yep, he's the middleman scraping the cream, er, yolk, off the top. Caryn is still commuting every day from Lawton (how DOES she DO that?!) and keeping us entertained with stories of her kids (both in college now) & her Pomeranian. Of course, I like the dog stories best. And, yes, I have a joke, I'll send it separately. I think the rain has died down, time to go home.

On October 27, a Saturday that shall live in infamy, a large (100 lb) German Shepherd mix neutered male (black with tan mask) wandered into our yard and met Eugene. And, he looks exactly like our old dog Leroy (who lived to be 17 and died about 10 years ago). So, Eugene took him in. We ran ads in the lost & found, put up posters, walked him all over the neighborhood. We refuse to give him a name because if we do, that means we're keeping him. Several people have informed me that I do HAVE another dog and his name is BigDog. And, now he has a nametag with BigDog on it and our phone #, so maybe they're right. He's well mannered, well trained, sweet, good with kids and smart as a whip....all the things that dogs we raise never are. BigDog has only barked once in the approx 6 months he's been with us (he does like to howl with sirens, though). Last week, the neighbor's parents came to visit with their large birddog that barks and barks and barks at us. He ran up to BigDog at the fence and barked/barked/barked and BigDog just looked at him.....finally BigDog gave him big "WOOF", kind of a "shut-UP!" and turned around and ignored him. We really do need to find him a good home though...he's just too big for our house and our yard isn't fenced, and he likes to eat my socks and I'm starting to run low on them. So, if you're interested, and you have plenty of socks, let me know. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded: "Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty. You're crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you getting there?" We're taking Continental," was the reply. "We got a great rate!" "Continental?" exclaimed the hairdresser. "That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late. So, where are you staying in Rome?" "We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome's Tiber River called Teste." "Don't go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks it's gonna be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump." "We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope." "That's rich," laughed the hairdresser. You and a million other people trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this trip of yours. You're going to need it." A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome. "It was wonderful," explained the woman, "not only were we on time in one of Continental's brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot. And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a $5 million remodeling job, and now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They too were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite at no extra charge!" "Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I know you didn't get to see the Pope." "Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me. Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me." "Oh, really! What'd he say ?" He said: "Who butchered your hair?"

DO NOT report for your individual state institution as this will cause duplicate reporting. Here is part of an e-mail sent by Steve Funk, Deputy State Comptroller, Office of State Finance. "Sheri Mauck at Regents has notified all institutions' finance officers of the reporting process and has explained that individual institutions do not need to register with FederalReporting.gov as they have submitted the information to OSF for the centralized upload to the federal government. It could be that this communication has not reached out to other divisions of these institutions (financial aid, etc.). I will ask Sheri to communicate this information again. Thank you and if you have further questions or comments, please call me. Steve L. Funck, CPA Deputy State Comptroller Office of State Finance State of Oklahoma Phone (405) 521-3231 Fax (405) 522-0906" Thanks and have a great day, David Barron Acting Director of Admissions Director of Financial Aid Rogers State University 1701 W.

While this final deadline for fall is still two weeks away, we will appreciate your cooperation in submitting any remaining fall award claims as soon as possible. The sooner we are able to wrap up fall disbursement activities, the sooner we will be able to make an informed decision regarding any changes in the spring 2010 cutoffs. We do want to share with you that, at this time, we are approximately $1 million over-committed. Ideally, we want to move into the spring semester with a safe over-commitment since it allows for better service to more students by allowing them to be funded for both fall and spring. We do anticipate that there will be funding available to offer some new spring-only awards; however, you should expect fewer than in past years. If you need a "refreshed" pre-populated Award Claim Form, please send an e-mail request to reports at otag.org. We appreciate your assistance in delivering state financial aid funds to Oklahoma's college students. Please contact our office if we can be of assistance to you.
