Loan office 'swamped' at fee deadline
By John Marshall Kansan Staff Reporter
A long, gray line has formed in the basement of Strong Hall.
Many K Ustudents—especially student teachers—are requesting loans from 26 Strong Hall, the Office of Aids and Awards.
The students have not yet been paid, yet they face an earlier fee payment deadline than in years past.
That deadline is today.
$10 fine looms
If the fees are not paid, the student is subject to a $10 fine. An unpaid fee after Oct. 6 will result in cancellation of the student's registration.
The graduate student assistants will not be paid until Oct. 1.
"We've been swamped with loan applications this week," said Irvin E. Youngberg, KU Endowment Association director, "and the increase is very noticeable."
Deadline moved up
William Kelly, associate registrar, said the deadline was moved up to Sept. 27 "so we would be able to compile the figures and do the necessary reporting to those individuals who need to know . . .
"Actually, we just started three days early, and we're going to finish three days early."
Applications for loans this week have been much more than the last few years, according to Robert Billings, director of Student Financial Aid.
"The increase ever last year at this time is about 15 per cent," Billings said.
Kelly said he could see no effects in the registrar's office due to the increase in loan applications.
NSD Loans delayed
National Student Defense Loans have also been delayed, Youngberg said, and we've had to loan against these loans until they come through.
Higher student fees also had affected the number of loan applications, Youngberg said, "and of course, we have a thousand more students."
Kelly would not comment on why the fees had been increased.
"The Kansas Board of Regents made that decision," he said.

ASC 'deplores' early closing of library
By Sam Neff Kansan Staff Reporter
The All Student Council Tuesday night "deplored" the earlier closing of Watson Library this fall and called for the KU administration to do something about it.
Acting on a resolution introduced by Brian J. Barker, Windsor, England, graduate student and student body vice president, the ASC "strongly urged that the University, through available funds, immediately rectify the situation."
Although the resolution mentioned "available funds," Tem Buckman, director of libraries, said the library was being closed at 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday because funds were not available to hire enough student help. He termed this year's library budget "inadequate."
The resolution, which was unanimously adopted by the ASC, called the library "the very hub of the student's academic existence."
In other action at its first regular meeting, the ASC amended an athletic seating bill that would permit student non-ticket holders to be admitted to football and basketball games using another student's ticket.
Last year the one-million volume library closed at 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday.
The council did not further consider the matter.
Wescoe had returned an earlier draft of the bill because he said it needed to be improved.
Monte Johnson, assistant athletic director, said all ticket transfers would be subject to validation by the Athletic Seating Board. He noted that student tickets could not be sold.
The bill will be sent to Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe for action.
Marines land, no incidents
Two Marine recruiters arrived at the Union shortly before 9:30 a.m. this morning without incident. Six members of the SDS chapter were present but did not interfere with the Marines' recruiting drive. SDS members said they expected a peaceful protest to begin at 1 p.m. in the Union. The Marine recruiters were Capt. James G. Custar and SSgt. Robert L. Strawser, both from the Marine selection office at Kansas City.

Frank Burge, director of the Kansas Union, said Tuesday he would "probably" accede to a Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) demand for more table space to protest a Marine Corps recruiting drive.
SDS and especially - created splinter groups were expected to protest the presence of a U.S. Marine Corps recruitment table beginning at 1 p.m. in the Kansas Union and a Union ruling that no more than one organization may operate an information table on one floor at a time.
But he added that the SDS had been "encouraged to use the Forum Room for a dialogue with the officers of the military organizations and student members of military groups."
SDS creates new clubs
SDS creates new clubs In an effort to break down this policy, new clubs, created at a Monday SDS meeting, were to request University recognition and apply today to the Kansas Union tor immediate table space.
This plan was to result in more organizations reserving tables in the Union today than there were floors available. SDS hoped this would force the Union to abolish its ruling and allow them to have its table on the same floor as the Marines' table.
Suggestions on how to disrupt the military recruiting, offered
Craig says he's 'confident'
Romney to appear here?
Student Body President Kyle Craig, Joplin, Mo., junior, said Tuesday he was "confident" that Gov. George Romney of Michigan would appear at KU this spring.
Craig made the statement at the All Student Council meeting.
Craig promised last week that an improved ASC speaker's program would bring "two or three" nationally prominent politicians to KU.
He indicated at the ASC meeting Tuesday night that he had laid the necessary foundation to secure Romney's presence. Romney has been mentioned as a possible candidate for the Republican party's Presidential nomination.
He was rated in polls as a top candidate to rival President Johnson but his ratings slipped when he announced three weeks ago that he had been "brain washed"
Craig said several students had asked him why KU did not have nationally-known speakers secured for the academic year similar to those scheduled to speak at Kansas State University.
Speakers scheduled to appear at Kansas State this year include Gov. Ronald Reagan of California, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, D.N.Y., and Barry Goldwater, 1964 Republican Presidential nominee.
Several of the K-State political speakers will appear as part of the Alf Landon lecture series. Landon, a KU graduate, is a former Kansas governor and Republican presidential nominee.
The scheduled appearance next Tuesday of Negro comedian and civil rights leader Dick Gregory was arranged by the Student Union Activities Current Events Forum.
by some of the 120 persons attending the Monday meeting, included monopolizing the Marines with conversation or impromptu debate, crowding the table with large groups of people, taking the Marines' literature and "accidentally" spilling coffee over their literature.

"Spontaneous" interference Gus diZerega. Wichita junior and unofficial SDS protest organizer, said any interference with the Marine's recruiting would be "pretty spontaneous." We're encouraging people to

Atty. general clarifies fee laws in ruling
The Kansas attorney general has outlined the basis under which married students can qualify for paying residence fees.
In a recent ruling Atty. Gen. Robert Londerholm noted that under state law the residence of a married female student for fee purposes is the same as that of her husband.
He also noted that the law states no one may gain residence in Kansas for fee purposes while he attends a state college or university.
"The Board (of Regents) and registrars may, as they do now, presume that a nonresident attending school in this state is here primarily for that purpose, and not to establish a bona fide domicile," the attorney general said.
Proof up to students
He said it was the student's responsibility to prove these presumptions "by clear and convincing evidence."
The case before Londonholm involved Mrs. Pamela Merriman Gettig, who was born in Kansas and whose parents still live here.
Her husband used to be classified as a resident, but he was classified as a non-resident when his parents moved to another state while Gettig was single and attending college in Kansas.
Londerholm assumed "that for all purposes other than payment of fees Mr. Gettig remains a Kansas resident."
Londerholm ruled that Mrs.
