GSL
From page 1
PYLAS HAS RECEIVED 7,300 in GSLs, and
$5,000 of the money was used to help pay for a
mortgage.
"We're using the last $2,500 to pay for tuition, car and health insurance and living expenses," she said. "If the loan money wasn't available, we would not go to school.
"It's hard to drop out of a Ph.D. program and make up the work later. We're in a situation where we have to turn to loans. There's little choice."
Pylies, who is a research assistant in
Physiology and Anatomy, said she would apply
for a fellowship.
"It scares me to death that they might cut back the loan program."
"If I can't get a GSL, I guess I'll have to return to personal loans," she said. "But I'm worried, real worried. I'm lucky to pay personal expenses."
THIS FALL college students may find federally funded financial aid more difficult to get. To reduce federal spending, the Reagan administration wants to cut back on the billions of dollars that are spent each year on aid to college students.
"The government's costs have skrocketed," Bryson said. The big costs of the loans is not default, but the cost of paying the interest subsidy and special allowance to lenders."
While some KU graduate students use their
backside to all six of living expenses, others
copyright KU graduates.
"I had applied last year for a GSL with the thought of buying rental property in Lawrence," Judith Dorser. Lawrence graduate student, said she wanted payment you could buy a $40,000 to $50,000 blower.
"GSls were cheap, accessible money. No questions were asked whether I needed the money. The government was subsidizing the middle class."
Dorsey's financial situation changed this fall when she and her husband separated. Instead of investing the loan, she is using it to support herself and her 11-year-old daughter.
"I'm the only graduate student I know using the money to live on," she said. "The rest are income-based."
CURRENTLY, the federal government has two guaranteed and subsidized loan programs that are not awarded on a need basis, Guaranteed Student Loans and parent loans, in which parents can borrow up to $3,000 at 9 percent. Parents begin repayment loans 80 days after disbursement.
Under President Reagan's proposals, the loans would be more difficult to get and more expensive.
"The total amount a student could borrow would not be changed," Bryson said. "But now a student can pay."
The administration's first proposal would require parents to provide a family contribution and allow the child to be cared for.
"The amount of the loan would be determined by the cost of the student's education, minus any other aid awarded, minus the expected family contribution," Bryson said.
THE EXACT AMOUNT of the family contribution has not been determined.
The second Reagan proposal would eliminate the in-school interest subsidy for students.
One of the proposal's aims is for the family to contribute more to the student's education,
"Under the plan, the interest accrued while the student was in school would be added to the loan."
Another proposal would raise the interest rate on the parent loan program from 9 percent to one percent.
"Cutting back on Guaranteed Student Loan expense would increase the amount of federal financial aid in the need-based program," she said. "The plan is to protect the lowest income category."
WITH THE PROPOSALS, the motivation to borrow would change, Bryson said.
"Some of the Guaranteed Student Loans were clearly seen as unnecessary borrowing," she said. "The costs being equal, the parent or student would not borrow."
However, officials at the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators are concerned that the proposals may hurt many students.
"We've made a number of alternative suggestions to cut expenses for the federal financial aid program," said Joyce Dunningan, spokesman for the association.
One or our main concerns is the elimination of the in-school subsidy. Lenders may not want to participate in the program if they have to bill the student instead of the government."
THE ASSOCIATION also wants the family income ceiling proposal modified, she said.
"We would prefer that a family with a specific income be allowed to receive loans without a credit check."
Other families could qualify for loans, but they would be based upon need, including factors such as family income, number of children in school and family assets, she said.
But Rogers says that there still needs to be a loan program with a no-need basis.
"We must find some way to equalize the interest rate and cut back the expense of the loan program." It was

enforcement agencies didn't have the time or the patience for such extensive investigations.
Drugs
From page 1
College students shouldn't be the main targets of undercover investigations, Malone aid.
"They're at an age when they're curious about things they're going to try drugs," he said. "They're at age when they
"I saw in a newspaper story a few weeks ago that 40 per cent of KU hall residents smoked in the halls," he said. "So? I'm surprised it's not higher."
SMOKING MARILUANA in residence hallis should be controlled by hall monitors and resident directors, but not by the police, he said.
Malone said that catching the main source of drugs was impossible in a city like Lawrence.
"There is one no source in Lawrence," he said. "So many people bring them in from so many places."
He said Kansas Bureau of Investigation agents, the primary drug enforcers in Kansas, used such tactics as legal wiretapping of people with cocaine. In local bars and buying drugs from people there.
"There'a a crackdunk on finding the source of greater energy than you can get in a bar, a Maldivian."
Besides the risks of getting caught by police and KHI agenta, small dealers also face business challenges.
FRED SAID he always surveyed the market before he made an investment.
"I was stuck with some homegrown pot once, and nobody wanted to buy it," he said.
Some dealers cheat others by selling ounces that weigh less than an ounce or by selling low-grade, low-carb coffee.
"There's nothing you can do legally if you get ripped-off," he said. "If I got cheated, just don't."
"One guy bought an ounce from me, and then came back and said it wasn't any good," he said. "But I offered to smoke with him before he bought it, so it was his tough luck."
THE ONLY WAY a dealer can insure the
property he is selling to is to "do it
wrong," according to Fresno.
Fred said he usually dealt honestly.
Fred said he didn't think he was doing anything morally wrong by selling drugs.
“It's against the law,” he said. “But it's not
The Kansas Legislature doesn't buy such justifications, however. They recently raised the penalties for possession of a controlled substance with the intent to sell from a class 'D' felony, to a class 'C' felony, to a class $1,000 fine, to a class 'C' felony, punishable by one 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
like I'm pushing drugs. People come up to me wanting to buy them. I don't sit in high school parking lots saying, 'hey, kid, want some candy?'
Malone partly agrees with the Legislature. He said people are just for the money. He said the full penalty is $30,000.
He said Clarence Dillingham, who was sentenced April 3 to three to 10 years for selling cocaine, and three others in Lawrence who were accused of drug offenses, were examples of a crackdown.
"Those people were labeled as being in it for a
buck, "he said. "They're going to prison, not just spending time in the county jail."
Malone said some drug enforcement laws were ineffective.
"It's really hypocritical to raise penalties for drugs and then relax liquor laws," he said. "What is a college-aged person supposed to think?"
Malone said the proposed law banning naranbernalera also would be ineffective.
"The state is sending signals that we don't advocate the illegal use of drugs, but I think it does."
"All we need is another unenforceable law," he said. "The presumption in court is still innocence, as far as I know."
Tuition

'I can't go into court saying, 'Your honor, this person was going to use these Zig-Zags to roll a marijuana cigarette. The judge would throw it out of court.
Kauffman, the Board's action last Friday was legal.
"I don't have any problem with what they did," he said. "The development of the impact statement, in the first place, was to facilitate a decision on the part of the Regents. It is not for the students; it is not for the University ad hocators. The statement is for the Regents alone."
"I think what the Board of Regents did was proper and consistent."
The legality of the increase is not the only topic in question. So, too, its impact on enrollment.
"The fears that I have with this increase is that it will deter students from attending KU." Del Hunter, Acting Chancellor said. "That's an effect that you don't expect it, won't affect enrollment, but it could."
THE UNIVERSITY is hoping to offset students' financial hardship with the increased federal funding it will receive next year for the work-study program, he said.
"And we help to put some more money from the increase into student employment money," he stated.
Shankel echoed Conard's statement that the increase would help fund the Other Operating Expenses budget and aid the University in library acquisitions.
"Most of OOE is used for education purposes." Angino said. "I essentially broke the department budget a month ago when I bought new laptops, and I had to teach four and four students on a microscope during labs."
Although tuition will be used to fund the OOE budget, Ernest Angino, professor of geology, said it was the student who would benefit from OOE funding.
BECAUSE HAS NOT yet seen a breakdown of the OOE allocation, Angiro said he was unable to figure out what caused the problem.
"I only wish they could put some of that increase into salaries because we're losing some key people," he said. "But they can't do that, I don't think."

We are now beginning to realize the physical and psychological costs men pay for being men. This series is intended to explore in detail what these costs are, what they mean to society, and to explore effective ways in minimizing these costs. We believe that this exploration of masculinity will raise as many questions for participants as it will answer. Since it is assumed that women and men both play an important role in the problems each other's gender, men *and* women are highly
