TIic new scientist-astronauts college professors, a pair of medical doctors, a rocket engineering expert and a geologist represent the cream nf more than 1,500 hopefuls who applied to the U.S. space agency last year for a chance to make the nations first truly scientific expedition to the moon. The fledgling spacemen, who join 28 astronauts America already has in training, were scheduled for formal introduction at a news conference at the agency's Manned Spacecraft Center near Houston today.

It is West- Added Pressure Seen For College Loan Program By VINCENT P. CAROCCI HARRISBURG (AP) -An as ject of the proposed college scholarship system not general publicized thus far is the added pressure it is expected to place on the state's two-year-old college loan program. A $3 million bill to establish state's first genuine scholarship program based on need and ability is on the Senate floor ready for a final vote.

When the Senate Education' ommiltee released the bill last! week, it increased the amount! of the program to million from what Gov. Scranton originally and added $500,000 in more loan money. This was over and above Hie $800,000 already added by the general assembly this year to (he 5425,000 provided in the loan fund when it first was estab-! lishecl in 15)63. The question was why (lie ex-1 tra $500.000 was necessary. Kenneth B.

Reelier, executive director of (he Pennsylvania Higher Education assistance agency, had an answer. The agency administers the' loan program and will adminis-l (er the scholarships once the; bill passes, as everyone expects it will. First, Reeher explained that ships, you're bound to run out of scholarship money." During the 1984-65 school year the first open to the loan program, the agency approved 4,844 loans worth some $3.66 million. The agency's best available estimate is that 3,500 to 4,000 undergraduate awards will be certified in the new school year on a 50-50 scholarship-loan ba sis. This, would break down to an average $700 scholarship, 1700 loan.

The policy of combining scholarships and loans is an issue that is open to debate. The scholarship bill was amended in committee to this praetier to the diicretion of the agency. It is not the intent to debate this point here. As Reeher envisions it, agency will adminUter the scholarship and loan programs in I his fashion. Students first will be tested on their ability to do college work.

Next they will be notified to submit an application and a "need analysis" will be made by the agency. "Then we'll precede to certify the awards," Reeher said. "When we run out of scholarship funds, we'll go into straight loans." THE -ARROW 3 FLOORS Of CLOTHING fOR MEN 4ND SOYS. 725 Cumberland I on. Pa.

In addition, lursing students and those tak-; ng selected private business 1 and trade school courses were made eligible. These facts in hemselves will put a new lead 1 on the loan fund.

But, fuming directly to the re- ationship between the loans and scholarships, he said: "First of all, we expect to experience a tremendous interest in the scholarships. We feel sure we will have many, many more applications than we did under the loans. And we anticipate we will select (i.e. qualify on a basis of need) twice as many students as we can meet with the scholarship money. Eeeher went on: "There isn't any doubt that they're not going to meet all financial needs this year with the scholarships.
