Union Board Requests SES Report
By KATHY TUSSING Kansan Staff Writer
The University of Kansas Memorial Corporation Board of Directors adopted a proposal Saturday requesting Supportive Educational Services (SES) to provide full information by Jan. 10, 1973, on their policies and finances and to affirm their support for the SES program by the fall semester of 1973. SES, which receives funding from the Board, was established to provide tutoring, scholarships and loans for minority students.
The Board also adopted a proposal requesting a modification in the ceral malt beverage policy of the Kansas Union. The directors requested that the Union management be permitted to sell 3.2 per cent ceral malt beverages in selected food service areas and also to groups for their social functions.
The proposal concerning SES was submitted to the Board by the fiscal and financial affairs committee of the corp. The report, in which the information requested of SES is:
- FULL INFORMATION on the policies and procedures of the program, including the criteria for selection of tutors and the criteria for admission of students to the program.
SESS affirmation of its intention to include all minority groups on a regular basis in its decision-making process.
-SES exploration of all possible methods or extending its services to all minority groups.
—A full report on the use of Union allocated funds, including payment of administrative salaries in the program, for the spring semester, 1972, the fall semester, 1972, and a projection for the spring semester of 1973.
DICK WINTERMOTE, executive director of the Alumni Association and fiscal and financial affairs committee chairman, said that the proposal was drawn up after it came to the attention of the committee that some minority groups were refused aid by the SES. Also, some of the policies of the SES were modified in SES, used the word "black" instead "milionary student," according to Wintermote.
Raymond Nichols, chancellor of the University and Board member, said, "As far as I'm concerned, SES is committed to open its program to all minority students, that sufficient funds were not available however, to include all minorities.
Nichols said that the second point of the resolution, an affirmation ot include all minority students, had already been made in a meeting with him.

services. He said that volunteer tutoring or group tutoring could possibly be used to teach the subject.
The proposal to modify the cereal malt beverage policy was proposed by Frank Burge, director of the Union, through the Council of the program concept and building use committee.
Burge told the Board that the present Union policy of allowing groups to bring in 3.2 per cent beer was awkward for several reasons.
Burge said that most persons did not know how much beer to order for their party and knew it over- or under-payment led to waste and the potential for over-consumption, he said.

According to its financial report, the Union showed a $21,000 increase over last year in net income from Union operations. The only department of the Union showing a decrease in income was the bookstore, which reflects the general University enrollment pattern, according to the financial report.
New Student Loan Rules Require More Information, Earlier Deadlines
By CHRIS CANNELLA Kansan Staff Writer
Because of new regulations expected to cause a major change in application fees, he will lend loans (FISL), the director of the University of Kansas financial aid office has suggested that students return FISL applications for the semester to his office no later than March 1.
Jerry Roger, financial aid director, said last week that although there was no set deadline for FISL applications, students who returned their applications by this date would avoid having to fill out a more complicated application form.
The deadline is Feb. 1 for the 1973-74 academic year scholarships, grants, scholarship halls, and fall semester's National Direct Student Loans (NSDL). Rogers suggested that FILS applications also be turned in as early as Feb. 1.
The suggested early submission date for FISL is due to the U.S. Senate bill, known as the Pell Bill, which is expected to go into effect March 1 and which would require that all student loan applicants submit a financial statement of the income and liabilities of each student's parents.
Under this system, a student must receive recommendation from the school before he begins to work.
in his office because it would mean that each application would require careful analysis from his office. Rogers said this analysis would cause a backlog in the financial aid office because there was no progress toward the funding to accompany the bill.
Each student will be entitled to $1,400 minus a family contribution, under the BEOG plan, Rogers said. After an examination of the parents' financial status, you are deeded how much money the parents should contribute to the student's education.
THE PELL BILL also would begin a completely new system of student finance—The Pell Grant (BEOG). This grant was scheduled to become effective for the 1973-74 academic school year, although Rogers said that he did not think the grant would be completely worth it.
Under this plan, the federal commissioner of education will pay an award to students accepted for enrollment, or in good standing at a post-secondary school.
THIS AMOUNT THEN will be subtracted from $1,400 and the student will receive the remainder. If the parents can contribute more, the amount should be increased, amount, Rogers said, provided it does not
At KU the full amount would be approximately $1,650 for resident students, Rogers said, because the estimated costs for the 1973-74 academic year for Kansas residents is $2,175. For nonresidents, $800 must be added to the estimated cost.
exceed one-half of the student's total educational expenses.
A committee for the Office of Education in the Department of Health, Education and Welfare now surveying the financial aid offices of the department formulate other guidelines and regulations to accompany this part of the bill. It has not been decided whether the student will follow to apply for a BEOG.
"ONE SAD THING is that they (federal people) immigrated involved. Reagan's policy immigrated involved."
Rogers said he beeped that enactment of the bill would be detained until the 1974-75 period.
ACCORDING TO ROGERS, the deadline for scholarships, grants, scholarship halls and NDSL loans was changed from Feb. 15 to Feb. 1 because of the lengthy course each students grades and financial statements that were submitted to problems also with the applications from incoming freshmen, who many times did not understand the requirements.
