Aid forms proposed
By PHILIP GARCIA
Staff Writer
The adoption of a proposed common financial aid application would simplify the application process for requesting aid in financial aid. The director of financial aid, said yesterday.
Financial aid officials from state and private educational institutions will decide today in Salina whether to approve the simplified application.
Jerry Rogers, director of financial aid,
and Joan Sherwool, assistant director, are
representing the University of Kansas at the
Midwest University on Thursday and is
scheduled to conclude today.
Currently, students send a financial statement to the College Scholarship Service and file a separate financial aid application at the institution.
The new form would allow Kansas resident students to send both a financial statement and an aid application to the American College Testing Program, which would process the forms and send them to the designated school or college, be said.
THE COMMON APPLICATION, if approved, would be used by all resident students who want to attend a Kansas public or private four-year college or university, junior college, vocational, technical or business college. Weinberg said.
Both undergraduate and graduate students, including law students and doctorate candidates, attending a four-year or university could use the application.
i. If a student wanted to file an application
with more than one school or college, he needs to file only one application because the form would be used by all state institutions, he said.
Another advantage of using the new form, Weinberg said, would be a reduction in work at the financial aid office. Because the office no longer will need to match a CSS financial statement with a KU application, the process will be quickened, he said.
WENBERG SAID he hoped there was not going to be much difficulty in getting the application approved. However, representation has agreed to agree on what application is asked for.
"We fell there is some information on the application that is nonrecurring." he said.
KU does not want to use just a name and a financial statement to determine need and budget. KU should have
"That would be a disservice to our students." he said.
More background information on students would allow them to be recognized as individuals and not just as numbers, Weinberd said.
o it.
"It would be our desire to have as much family information on the application as possible."
IF THE COMMON application is accepted, Weinberg said, students applying for financial aid would need to obtain a Kansas ACT packet, which would include the proposed Kansas financial aid application and a financial statement.
Students would fill out and send both forms directly to ACT.

Weather, inexperience challenge rowers
冰-encrusted lakes and inexperienced freshmen could add up to an ominous initiation to official competition for the University of Kansas rowing crew tomorrow. The rowing team will be pulling against Kansas State at 1 p.m. on Lone Star Lake.
After a full day of work on K U landscape, David Leech, Toledo senior, packed it all in and headed for home. Facilities Operations has been taking advantage of the warm spring days to beautify the campus.
In its first year, the rowing crew, because of freezing temperatures, has been able to lift more to prepare for life on the water than according to coach Don Rose. And that's particularly discouraging because all of the crew members are freshmen, green to the sport before this year.
ROSE ONLY hopes that enthusiasm, something he says is prevalent on the team, will help against the more experienced and traditionally strong Wildcats.
"The attitude in the troops has been excellent," he said. "They've really worked hard so far."
Whitenight says he won't seek commission bid
Peter Whitenight, chairman of the Douglas County Commission, said yesterday that he would not seek re-election to a third term. He left the open door to seize office again.
Wattenight he said he wanted more time to spend with his family and to run the clothing business he owns. He was elected to the House in 1974 and became chairman in January 1976.
He said a commissioner's job was frustrating at times.
"The business of dealing with the public is not at all trivializing," he said. "In fact, it involves many things."
"It takes an awful lot of consultation and coordination, especially when the federal government is involved," he said. "There are a lot of delays. It can take a long time to get anything done. That makes it a very frustrating procedure.
"There are many reasons," he said. "I have some pressing personal commitment."
However, he said the frustrations normally did not make him wish not to run
He said he had enjoyed much of the commission's work.
BOSTON (AP)—Actor John Wayne will undergo heart surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital tomorrow, a Boston television station reported yesterday.
WNAC said that Wayne would undergo surgery to replace an aortic valve and that the surgeon would be Dr. Mort Buckley, a heart specialist at the hospital.

Martin Bander, a hospital spokesman,
said in contempt of court that he
reached out to the clan and declined comment.
WNAC attributed its report to sources at the hospital.
But he says he cannot seriously give much credence to hopes of bering the Wildcats.
"They're a good team and we haven't been able to practice as we would like," he said. "It's important for us to get some competitive experience, though."

Bicycle thefts on the KU campus will soon increase, according to police policy
Bike thefts will increase campus detective warns
By TOM RAMSTACK
Campus detective Jeanne Longaker said yesterday that the number of bake thefts in the campus has doubled.
Staff Writer
Of the 36 reported thefts on the KU campus last year, April had the highest total with 11. There were four thefts in March, six in May, and five in June.
Longaker said there had been three reported bike thefts on campus since Jan. 1,
When a stolen bicycle is recovered by KU police, it is stored upstairs in Hoch Auditorium. Police give unclaimed bikes to SIA, which auction them off in the spring.
For someone to claim a bicycle, he must identify it by a serial number or some other personal marking, such as a driver's license or social security number.
LONGAKER SAID that in 1978 a man was convicted of stealing more than 100 bicycles in eight months from the KU campus. He had taken them across the state line where he sold them in Kansas City, Mo., she said.
Many of these bicycles were recovered by police, she said. But owners who would see their bikes and identify them only by color and name still could not claim them, she added.
Longaker encourages users to register their bicycles with the KU police depart-ment and learn how to handle bringing 25 cents to the police station in each and tell the police the serial number of the bike. A record of the number is filed by the police department and can be recovered, the police will contact the owner.
An ENGRAVER that leaves a permanent impression can be checked out free from KU police for making bicycles with an identification number. Longaker said, or people who are there Hoch and have the police engrave an identification number in the frame without charge.
The chain should be long enough to fit through both wheels and the frame, she said, because thieves sometimes remove the wheels and steal the frame.
Longaker also encourages bike owners to use case-hardened steel chains for locking their bikes because other chains can be cut easily with a hand-bolt cutter.
