Japan Called Asian Key
"The key to the whole

Felix Moos, KU professor of East
Asian studies, at the Thursday
conference.
Japan has become a modern technological state and as such, is highly competitive with the United States in technology and Europe, he said. Therefore, the United States not only should look at the emergence of China as a power in Asia, Moos said, but also should hold a keen interest in Japan.
Japan evolved quickly from a basic feudal society to become a global challenge. China, Russia and the United States, while China changed very little,

Moos, an anthropologist, said the United States should try to understand political arrangements not only in terms of social considerations but also in terms of socio-behavioral processes.
"We should use social science in analysis, not just the GNP," he said.

Japan, and the Japanese now think that the United States does not understand loyalty, Moos said.
The Japanese know that the ten per cent surtax and the dollar devaluation was directed toward Japan, so help convince them of United States' loyalty. Moas said. Consequently, Japan was encouraged to seek with the Soviet Union.

A bill to bring KANSAS LEGISLATORS under a state RETIREMENT plan was approved Thursday by the Elections, Fees and Salaries Committee of the Kansas House. The bill now goes to the House for consideration by its full membership. As approved, the bill would provide that any legislator who serves at least 36 months would be entitled at 60 to receive a retirement benefit of $5 per month multiplied by the number of regular sessions he served in.

NDSL Loans Attacked
The National Defense Student Loan (NDSL) program, which allows thousands of students nationally to attend college, is under fire from President Nixon. Nearly 1,000 students at the university in Kansas receive funds from this source for their education.

Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmer Jr. said recently that the report submitted to him by the Department of Justice Force on Feb. 1 was the most thorough, the most conscientious, and in some ways "the most avant-garde" report he had written in 10 years of administration.
THE TASK force reporter tests the skills of the needs adequately, with exception of the superior undergraduate program, which was qualified for the honors program, but did not receive Watkins or Summerfield Scholarship.
The subcommittee proposed institutionally sponsored merit scholarships for top-level students, four-year periods to both Kansas and out-of-state students. The present Watkins-Berger and Summerfield scholarships must be renewed each year and are awarded annually.
J. Eldon Fields, professor of political science and chairman of the scholarship subcommittee, said recently that some of the subcommittee's proposals if approved would be superior students to come in KI
THE TASK FORCE was asked to study all aspects of the financial program at the institution, request, to study all areas of the subcommittees were formed to study the major areas of the program. scholarships loans and grants were studied.
Fields said there were two reasons for University sponsorship of merit scholarships. First county-wide information should inform scholars that KU is interested in the superior student.
Chalmers said he had asked William M. Balfour, vice chancellor of student affairs, to implement the task and to ensure that required added resources. As more funds become available, he said, "recommendations for staff positions can be carried out."
SECOND, four-year scholarships, available along with the present one-year renewable scholarships, would have reduced the value of program was more conductive to individual productiveness.
Balfour that 35 per cent of the James Davis Jr. Scholarship Fund set aside specifically for academic scholarships, would be awarded to sponsored merit scholarships. The subcommittee also recommended the establishment of freshman honors scholarships—one year, non-renewal, with a minimum $100 stipend.
These grants would be awarded to students who qualified for the honors program, but did not receive Summerfield, or Achievement Scholarships.
Concern was expressed by the scholarship subcommittee about equal treatment of minority students in granting

scholarships. The subcommittee suggested that 10 per cent of unrestricted scholarship funds be set aside for minor students.

Weinberg said *Nixon's* philanthropy made Nixon the middle income individuals who presently received a large part of DSLR funds should instead use Apple.
"Part of the problem right now is that so many students are looking for jobs that employers don't want them." Ward said. "They already have so many applications. Getting a job is not connected with the need. It's a matter of being at the right place at the right time."
NDSL program be replaced by heavier reliance on federally insured loans from banks and lending institutions.
PHILIP GARY, director of urban affairs, proposed the plan primarily to overcome psychological hazards the part of his students. Gary was his proposal that the history of discrimination in America had made minorities skeptical of claims of equal treatment, so might persuade minority groups to apply for scholarships.
Ward said that notices of job opportunities for men were posted outside the Office of Student Financial Aid. A job file for women's positions is kept in the Dean of Women's Office and the student advises may be able to advise women seeking part-time employment.
The work programs subcommittee investigated the part-time employment situation for students, both on and off campus, recommended that an employment center by established adjacent to the Office of Student Financial Aid to make
MARTHA WARD, assistant to the dean of women and chairman of the subcommittee, said that the Office of Student Financial Aid now handles the work-study program and employment for women. The Dean of Women's Office handles employment for women.
Equal opportunity for men and women in part-time employment could be more easily achieved if they were consolidated, Ward said.
The task force recommended that a full-time staff position be created to run the employment center. Balfour said that because of the additional funds required, the would not be started next year.
She said both offices are informed of job opportunities only if employers call; the employers seek employment information.
Ward, said that perhaps students could man the traffic game at football and basketball games. This would allow Traffic and Security officials to move more heavily on security, she said.
THE WORK Programs Subcommittee also recommended that the number of jobs available to students be increased if possible, by spitting into several part-time jobs.
HAROLD KROGH, professor of business, and subcommittee chairman, said there had been a problem with students renaming the loans.
The committee will also look into the Yale University tuition fees for the spring semester fee payment is an extremely difficult administrative task, Kroger said, and further data on the cost of success of the Yale plan is needed.
The loans subcommittee recommended that an additional 15% of the student loan be assigned to the Office of Student Financial Aid, with particular
Krogh said the loan subcommittee also considered a request by using a credit card, such as Bank americad or United States State University already has such a plan in operation.
Chalmeris said that among the new staff positions recommended by the task force, the one involving counseling for loans would be the most likely to be employed at the Endowment Association.

SO FAR CONGRESS has balked at the prospect of dropping the NDSL program and has resisted Nixon's efforts. The Senate has rejected the present program weighed heavily in the decision to keep it.
KROGH SAID a problem in the plan is convincing banks to absorb the service charge incurred in using credit cards. In the plan, the cost to absorb the cost, but the state is unable to do so, Krogh said.
If banks would bear the discount, credit card payment could become a reality, but right now they can't jump for joy about it, he said.
The University Senate Committee on Financial Aid to Students will further investigate the matter.
Weinberg explained the NDSL program was superior to federally supported loans, principally because of the differential in interest charges. The NDSL loans carry an interest rate of 6%. Because federally supported loans have to be repaid at 7 per cent interest.
The time period for repayment also differs. NDSL loans are repaid over a period of 10 years, with no interest charged until graduation. Federal insured loans charge interest from the time of loan acquisition and payment is usually required within a three year period.
NEXT YEAR'S funding for the NDSL program, Weinberg said, would probably be comparable to the previous academic year. KU students received nearly $1,250,000 through the NDSL program. Weinberg said the program was designed to help government with state support
The NDSL loans are provided on a need basis, as required by federal law. Family income is the amount in getting one of these loans.
SECOND LARGEST is the NDSL program. The third category is short term loans that benefit the Endowment Association.
The largest category is the offices supported bank loans, which cost $20 million to the student at his home bank. These loans total close to $2 million. Weinberg said his office was in continual contact with the bank.
