Congress may cut loans
By KARI ELLIOTT Staff Reporter
Congress is likely to approve a funding cut in the Guaranteed Student Loan program proposed by the Reagan administration, director of educational aid, said yesterday.
Although the Reagan administration has not specified the amount of the proposed cut, Secretary of Education Terrel H. Bell explained that some program cuts were needed to reduce federal spending.
This academic year, one-third of the KU students on the Lawrence campus have received Guaranteed Student Loans totaling $18 million.
The federal government guarantees these loans and pays lending banks 9 percent interest while the student is in school.
10 qualify for a GSL, a student must be enrolled in at least six hours and be making reasonable academic progress.
Each student can borrow up to $2,500 a year.
Rogers acknowledged that if the programs were cut, some students would get hurt. But he said something had to be done.
He said that if the government allocated the loans on a need basis, some borrowing could be eliminated.
"There is way too much borrowing going on now," he said.
Another form of federal financial aid that Bell wants to cut is the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant.
The large number of Guaranteed Student Loans is drying up money for grants, he said.
Basic Educational Opportunity Grants are direct, non-repayable awards based on financial need. The federal government funds the program.
These grants provide between $200
and $500 for qualified full-time
students.

"I think every opportunity (to provide financial aid to minority students) should be integrated into our schools we saubles with these loans," Weinburg said yesterday.
Minority college students could use more financial aid, but an increase in federal loan is not the answer, according to Jeff Weinburg, associate director of the KU office of student financial aid.
The Institute for the Study of Educational Policy said Monday that more loans were needed because America needed trained professionals to develop the economy. The Institute also said minorities were the greatest underutilized resource.
Weinburg said minority students were less able to repay student loans that other students because many
Minorities call for more aid
Weinberg's remarks came in response to a call for more federal loans for blacks made by a group of black educators.
The Washington, D.C., group said that if the government could subsidize college loans for families earning more than $50,000 a year, it could offer them a bank student whose family's earnings are about $12,000 a year.
However, Weinburg said more loans were not the answer.

Richard Lee, director of SES, agreed with Weinburg.
Weinburg said he would favor more outreach programs like Suportive Educational Services (KU's tutorial program) and Minority Affairs to help keep minorities in higher education.
Also, Weinburg said, more money should be added to the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant program.
After graduation many minority students try to help out financially at home, he said.
Some KU minority students send the financial aid money they receive home, he said.
The problem, Lee said, is retaining minorities at colleges and universities.

"Maybe there is a need for a loan program for a minority who wishes to attend a high-cost institution," he said.
Addition loan programs at KU are not necessary because KU is a low-cost institution, he said.

Health officials report local rise in VD cases
By ANNIKIA NILSSON and ALVIN A.R.EID Staff Reportes
The Lawrence area is experiencing a mild increase in the number of syphilis cases reported, according to Larry Burt, director for the veneral disease department of the Kansas State Department of Health.
"The increase is not of epidemic proportions, but it could develop into something greater if precautions are not taken." Burt said.
Because of the situation, Burt said Watkins Memorial Hospital had streamlined the procedure for admitting students seeking blood tests.
If a student asks for either Virginia Detmore or Anita Brown at the admissions desk and requests a blood test, he can be sent directly to the lab, Burt
Rita Bowden, Douglas County Health Center nurse practitioner, said sexually active persons should be tested for syphilis once a year. Male homosexuals should be tested every one to two months.
Burt said that if a rash or sore appeared in the genital area, consultation with an otologist is advised.
Venereal diseases affect approximately one in 20 Americans every year, according to Martin Wollmann, of health services at Watkins Hospital.
Wollmann said that a common form of venereal disease, gonorrhea, was
lower among KU students than in the general population and that Watkins Hospital had from 70 to 92 cases every year.
"It has been staying the same for the past five years," he said.
In men, the symptoms of gonorrhea include painful urination and a yellow-green discharge. Wollmann said that the infection was much more insidious in women and that unusual vaginal discharge could indicate gonorrhea.
Bowden said a sexually active male should have a gonorrhea culture taken every one to two months.
Wollmann said the most widespread venereal disease was a strain called herpes 2. "We think the incidence of it is growing," he said.
Herpes 2, or venereal herpes, which causes the virus that causes fever blisters, can also cause stings.
"Once the virus has invaded it is time to get vaccinated from time to time. Wollmann staff members."
Bowden said venereal herpes can cause sores around the mouth and nose as well as in the genital area. The only way to distinguish between venereal herpes and fever blisters was to wait and see whether herpes develops.
Herpes 2 manifests itself by genital sores that can cause severe discomfort in females. Males, however, often have no symptoms. he said.
Bowden said women with diagnosed herpes should have annual Pp smears because of a possible correlation between herpes and cervical cancer.
