New NDSL Bill Passed
Conflict Between Nixon and Congress Lessen Financial Aid Programs for KU Students
Conflict between the Congress and the President has caused a diminution in financial aid to University of Kansas students for the summer session.
The conflict between the Congress and the President concerned which financial aid programs should be retained. Nixon ordered that the U.S. government grants (BEGO) and College
Work-Study programs.
Congress, however, wanted to retain older Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants and the National Direct Student Loan (NDSL) programs.
Jerry Rogers, director of the Office of Student Financial Aid, said the number of NDSL loans was limited this summer because of the possibility that the program would be ended. In seeking to restructure the federally funded student aid programs,
Nixon had indicated that he wanted the NDSL program eliminated.
BELIEVING THAT THE program might be ended, the Student Financial Aid to limit the NDSL grants to those students who must graduate at the end of the summer, Rogers said.
After this decision was made, Congress passed a compromise bill allocating money for the NDSL program and Nixon signed the bill into law.
Rogers said be did not believe the summer aid program had been seriously damaged.
"The summer financial aid program has always been small," Rogers said.
He pointed out that the NDSI program was usually small and that there were few scholarships awarded during the summer. He pointed out that the restricted scholarships for those who
wanted to accelerate their academic program.
ALTHOUGH NIXON SEEMS to want to end the NDSL program, Rogers hopes that the program would continue. He said KU program is the most successful program. Furthermore, the school is beginning to get back money from past loans in payments and interest. An additional $500,000 is available for student loans, which the payments received on past loans.
for aid have not yet been circulated, which will make it difficult for freshmen entering this fall to receive the financial aid they may need, he said.

They emphasize research and training to the University, and a service for the parents and children of Lawrence. Each classroom has a specialist in information working on a variety of dimensions.
"WE LOOK AT everything from an experimental approach," LeBlanc said. "At our school, we want to develop the child. We try to quantify, to see if our system is working. We ask questions about how a child learns, and what factors affect their learning. How to help all children develop and learn."
"Simply, we observe, record and graph children."
Nancy Peterson, assistant professor of education, said that in addition to HDFL there are many sciences that are studying the behavior modifications of children. Peterson is in charge of a pre-school program and a Trainable 1 program for mentally retarded children, who are either classified as trainable or educable.
THIS PROGRAM works in cooperation with Lawrence Public Schools. The classrooms are designed specifically to service the children and provide training for KU students in a variety of professional programs including special education, literacy, occupational therapy, audiology, psychology, speech therapy and others.
"Many of our KU students come in and at first are aweed by the needs of the handicapped. But when they are finished many are inspired about what can be accomplished and how much these children need to get a person. We don't turn children away if we want them out of setting that is appropriate to the training needs that the child has."
BRIAN JACOBSON, Lawrence graduate student, has several rooms set up for children to assist them in remedial learning. For children who are in lawrence, children are from Lawrence, although they
Jerry Chaffin, associate professor of education, is working with a first grade group from Pinckney Elementary School in Lawrence. These children were predicted by their kindergarten teachers to be those who would have a hard time in the first grade, but his students try to provide them with experiences that will help them admi

Years Change Roles of Deans But Not Concern for Students
Douglas County To Get Blood Free of Charge
An old contention is that the primary function of the deans is that of disciplinarian to students living in residence halls. He or she said that job had been made with distinction with discipline to do with residence halls. Residence directors, residence assistants and other staff members of Gertrude Sellards Pearson, Corbin, Lewis, Hashinger and/or Hallaries are under her supervision. She also works in sororities and scholarship halls.
Emily Taylor, dean of women, said that her sole function was to produce adults, not keep them as adolescents. She tries to keep her students in their place and tells them that their place is wherever they want it to be.
SOME of Taylor's other duties include advising all colleges-within-a-college, the Orientation Committee, the Association of University Residence Halls (AURH), the All-Scholarship Hall Council and the Reading and Study Skills Program.

The functions and roles of the deans of men and women in University life are
The Dean of Women is very active in women's movements, including the Commission on the Status of Women. She is a leader in women's equality, but feels that the expression "Women's Lib" is a putdown.
Taylor has been dean of women since 1956 and when asked what changes have taken place, he responded, "I haven't."
Three University of Kansas students have been awarded cash prizes in the first annual Edward S. Robinson Essay Contest sponsored by the department of philosophy.
The Robinson Essay Contest was initiated this year in memory of Edward Schouten Robinson, a member of the philosophy department from 1946 until his death. He served as a professor in the department from 1963-65 and was widely known as a philosopher and scholar.
Winner of the first contest are Michael Green, Kansas City, Kan., graduate; David Schmidt, Great Bend graduate student; and Jim Swinder, Lawrence graduate student.
Each prize winner received a $30 cash prize as well as an invitation to present his essay to a meeting of philosophy graduate students.

The BEOG program, Rogers said, will provide aid to freshmen for the 1973-74 school year. In future years, the program will also be open to upper class students. Application for this aid will be sent directly to an agency under contract with the Office of Student Affairs. The school the applicant plans to attend will be sent the money the student is awarded.
"Everything's changed in the last decade." DONALD Alderson, dean of men, like Dean Taylor, is connected with colleges and staffing. He resides in residence hall staffing and contracts, orientation and scholarship programs. He is also involved with human relations committees, fraternities, minority students and various programs throughout the university. Alderson is supervisor for Elsworth, McCormay, Joseph R. Pearson and Tempain Hills.

With regard to students living in off-campus housing, Alderson said that aid is limited unless the individual student initiates a request for assistance. Both Todd and Alderson said they were interested in the personal problems of students.
Alderson has been dean of men since 1948. Some of the changes he noted were a larger staff and more office space due to increasing enrollment. He said another large change was more direct involvement by students in decision-making.
Dean Alderson takes a personal interest in drug abuse problems on campus. He said drugs are "not a serious problem" on campus now, but "there are some abuses." He stated that it was "difficult to say yes or to the question of drug abuse on campus.
The roles of the deans of men and women have changed much through the years, but the role of taking a personal interest in their activities will never change.
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLAN effective this date amended as follows.
Hogers said KU received between 50 and 75 percent of the amounts requested for these two projects.
According to Rogers, the BEEOG program has already run into problems. Applications
