Brand Name Athletic Footwear and Apparel UP TO 50 % OFF SELECT MERCHANDISE Controversial loan bill halted Nobody knows the athlete's foot like the Athlete's Foot "It most likely will cost students something," said Diane del Buono, director of student financial aid. "And for students who don't have a good credit history, they need to ask for a co-signer. That's a lot to ask of someone, to go out and co-sign for $4,000 or $7,000." SOME SHOES AS LOW AS $ 19.99-$29.99 The bill, which was added to the Emergency Unemployment Compensation Act signed in November, is an attempt by the Bush administration to cut costs by lowering the number of defaults the federal government would have to pay. Some Congressmen have been critical of the bill. A bill that would make credit checks a necessity for students over 21 seeking Guaranteed Student Loans/Staff Loans has generated so much controversy that action on the bill has been halted. By Janet Rorholm Kansan staff writer The bill, which has stirred controversy from U.S. Congress to banks and financial aid offices, is in limbo while Congress waits for comments about it. "It definitely caught the financial 914 Massachusetts 841-6966 aid community off-guard," del Buono said. "People are delighted to have a chance to respond." "I can't imagine that many financial administrators would do anything but write 'con' because the idea is that these are supposed to be loans that can help students go to school and we're making it more and more difficult," del Buono said. Del Buono said she expected the response to be unfavorable. Students with GSL/Stafford loans said they were not sure what they thought about the bill. On one hand, they said that they understood about the federal government not wanting to lose its money, but they also saw a credit check as just another inconvenience in getting a loan. Carol Wirtman, vice president of First National Bank in Lawrence, said the bill was unreasonable and unfair to students who could be denied a loan. The intention of the GSL/Stafford loans is to help low-income students. enable the federal government to garnish students who had hadling on their buses. "It sounds like another hassle they'veadded to the process," said Bill McLaughlin, Topeka senior. "You can't go through the financial aid office without having a lot of problems. The new process with more forms takes more time, and this is just lengthening the process even more." Wirthman said that for lending institutions, the bill would not be cost effective or effective in stopping defaults. "Most students don't even have a credit rating so that's not really the issue," Wirthman said. "Checking someone's credit rating still doesn't guarantee that they won't default on the loan. This is just not the answer to the problem." Del Buono said other bills would "At 26 years, I don't feel I, or anyone, should have to have someone co-sign for their own debts," he said. "If they forced me to, I'd have to, to continue my education." Dave Trevino, Lawrence junior, said he was interested in what constituted a bad credit rating because he had been with the 12ca of finding a co-signer. KU debaters rank 7th nationally Bv Shelly Solon a young KU debate team approaches the second half of the season ranked first in its district and seventh in the nation. Kansan staff writer In a recent poll of the American Forensics Association, the team ranked first in its 13-tem district, which includes colleges and universities in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. The team, which has no seniors, is nationally ranked above teams from Dartmouth College, Harvard, Northwestern and Baylor universities. ("The ranking") was not a surprise to us," said team member Kirk Redmond. Wichita freshman. "It is pretty secretive. It's not something everyone knows." Redmond said the team simply did more research. "In debate, it all really depends on many factors and how much pressure is put on him." Scott Harris, director of forensics and coach of the team, said the students' hard work was the key to the team's success. Harris said the team looked forward to sending teams to the National Debate Tournament and performing well there. "It's the same as the basketball team," he said. "We bring in talented people, and they work hard to succeed." Since 1973, KU has won the tournament four times. Each year, since 1973, KU has sent two teams to the championship game in the maximum allowed from one school. Harris said the team focused on upcoming tournaments at Baylor and Northwestern and on playing host for a national tournament the third week of February. Harris said no school had teams qualify for nationals more often than "In the second half, some teams start to slack off, so we need to move ahead," he said. "It all comes down to the national tournament at the end of the season." Chris Baron, Lawrence sophomore and team member, said he hoped the team would still improve.
