good credit, longer terms.
"We have never run out of money for short term loans," he said, "but we've awarded all of the long-term loans."
Long-term loans give students more time to pay back the money than the one year period allowed short-term borrowers.
THE SHORT term loans of the University of Kansas Endowment Association fund are given to students for enrollment fees, Rogers said. The amount is determined in a conference with one of five financial aid officers.

Short-term loans, which have a 6 per cent interest rate, were given to about 1,000 applicants last year for a total of over $300,000. Rogers said.
Another loan program, which begins in September, will be insured by a student loan corporation, he said. The Higher Education Loan Program of Kansas (HELP) eventually will replace the Federally Insured Student Loan Program and insurance loans made to students by banks or will loan directly from student funds collected from the public sale of bonds. The program also will provide loans to students turned down by banks.

Dole said the treaty was shaping up to be the hottest issue in the Senate since he became a senator in 1968, and he said he doubted it would be ratified this year.
"It would be my advice to President Carter to wait and bring it up next January, but I know he'd like to dispose of this year because it's not an election year," Dole said yesterday in a telephone interview from Washington.
He said the treaty had been endorsed by A.I.P.-CIO President George Meany but it would be unthinkable to meunknow the overwhelming rank-and-file support that not be as strong for it as George Meany."
