Draft question on aid forms not required
By SUSAN STANLEY Staff Reporter
KU financial aid forms will still have a place for male students to show they have registered for the draft, even though critics have said that mentioning registration violates a court injunction, a financial aid official said yesterday.
Jerry Rogers, director of the KU office of financial aid, said the forms would allow students to voluntarily check a box to say they had registered.
LAST YEAR, Congress passed a law requiring male students eligible for the draft to prove they have received financial aid. But a U.S. district judge in Minnesota
placed an injunction on withholding financial aid until the legitimacy of the court ordered the withdrawal.
Now, the plaintiffs in that case, two Minnesota public interest groups, are calling a letter written by Education Secretary Terrell Bell, which encourages voluntary verification, a violation of the injunction.
Although some financial aid groups have recommended that the question be eliminated from the form, Rogers said, the KU forms will keep the draft registration question that has been on them since January.
then she said similarly,
"We did not change our forms."
Rogers said, "We already had them printed up when the injunction was issued. This is strictly voluntary.
Students are under no obligation to sign
the portion concerning the registration."
LAST WEEK, Bell sent a letter to financial aid offices informing aid administrators that they cannot make registration a requirement to receive financial aid. But, the letter also encourages the offices to keep collecting the forms to avoid delays should the intjunction be lifted.
The Minnesota Civil Liberties Union and the Minnesota Public Institute Research Group filed suit in federal court saying that Bell should be found in contempt of court for encouraging compliance with the rule by implying that financial aid would be delayed if a student did not register.
Rogers said he was concerned that the recent publicity about possible
delays in distributing aid could lead students to think they would not get their financial aid checks on time.
DEPENDING UPON what changes are made between now and next semester, a student might have to verify his registration for second semester, he said.
"The only way I can see that it could delay aid would be if the law ended up being implemented and those students who chose not to submit their status could then have to submit it late," he said.
Duncan Helmrich, director of public affairs for the Department of Education, said Bell recommended that students who were draft age should still verify that they had registered.
Union allocates extra $10,000 to SUA next year
Student Union Activities will receive an additional $10,000 for programs for next year, Jim Long, director of the Kansas Union, said yesterday.
Long said the Union's proposed budget, which will be presented to the University of Kansas Memorial Corporation Board Saturday, allocates the money specifically for activities in the Burge Union.
SHELLEY STUCKEY, SUA president, said the SUA board was making tentative plans for activities at the
Burge Union such as recepitions following basketball games, a carnival for living groups, faculty debates and small bands.
This year, the Union gave SUA more than $30,200 for its activities. In December, after the first half of the fiscal year, SUA had more than $3,300 in losses, but Stuckey said this same special standing was gradually improving.
nance to_accommodate a _22 percent increase in utility costs.
At the same time, the Union officials will continue to cut costs for supplies and maintain a hiring freeze on their positions, leaving some vacancies.
The budget will include a long range study for renovations of the Union and the Burge Union and a review of the Union staff organization, he said.
THIS YEAR, the Union passed its
projected rate of increase in income.
The projected growth was set at 4.5 percent, but the Union's total income increased 5 percent, Long said.
"We're very, very pleased with that," Long said.
He attributed the increase to energy-saving efforts of the Union. But he said that next year's budget would be more conservative about growth projection, estimating only a 3 percent increase in income.
2 students with pot arrested
KU police arrested two residents of McColm Hall Wednesday night on charges of possessing marijuana in a truck and driving the director of police said yesterday.
Jim Denney, the director, said police received an anonymous call Wednesday night from someone at McCollum who said there was a strong smell of marijuana in the hallway.
THE SMELL came from the suspects' room.
Denney said Michael Riner, a KU police officer, was sent to the hall. When the suspects opened the door, Riner turned around and thought marijuana in the room.
The suspects are now free on $1,500 bond. Their first appearance in court will be Monday morning.
Riner found more than a pound of what he thought to be marijuana, a smaller quantity of what he thought to be hashish, several pills that have not been identified and a balance scale. Denney said.
