Nevertheless, students will still be able to find other loans available at KU.
Government cathckins are putting the squeeze on KU students who attempt to obtain student loans.
The University of Kansas Endowment Association offers short-term loans that must be repaid at the end of the academic year, George Stewart, controller in charge of the loans, said.
He said, with the new restrictions on the guaranteed loans, there would be a greater decrease in loan costs.
AT THE FINANCIAL aid office, Rogers said there were two grants, Supplemental Grants and the BEGO (Foll Grants), and another loan, the National Direct Loan, also available.
These programs, however, are already based on a need basis.
The two grants and two loans totaled more than £20 million this year.
The irony of the entire guaranteed loan changes is that students who do prove a basis basis may get a better deal with the National Direct Student Loans, Dorsons said.
He said because both loan programs would require a need basis, a student could be eligible too for the direct loan program, which has a lower interest rate than the guaranteed loans.
"I assume that would be the natural response to "I for the National Direct loan, if they qualify."
WHATEVER THE LOAN, the recent changes in Congress begin to be felt by the nation's school leaders.
"We have reached a point in history" T.H. Bell, U.S. Education Secretary, recently said, "The control of education stops flowing toward Washington to flow back to the states and communities."

Inmates preserving library furniture
Sawing out of jail has new meaning these days, as inmates of the Kansas State Pentitientary at Lansing use saws and sandpaper on bookshelves instead of on iron bars. And while learning a trade, inmates are saving Watson Library nearly $500,000.
Kansas Correctional Industries, a two-year-old program, employs inmates at the penitentiary to refinish and re-upholster furniture and to perform other services for state agencies. Immines in the program are currently restoring book-shelves, tables, chairs and 1,250 card catalogs at Watson, Ron Baggett, K.C.I. sales manager, said yesterday.
The Watson project, which was started in January, is now the only one the 85 inmates are住着.
"We think we have established a long-standing love affair with Watson Library," Baggat said.
He expects work on the furniture to be completed about the first of November, but, he added, "Watson keeps saying, 'We've found some more tables to do'."
JOHN GLINKA, associate dean of the library, said that most of the furniture in Watson was purchased in the early 1980s; when the last adornments were completed. A few pieces date back to 1925, he said.
"We're trying to preserve the older pieces because they have some meaning for the history of our culture."
"It didn't seem right to pass it off as surpure or dump it on another department." Clinke said.
quality of the heavy, solid wooden furniture was unmatched today.
He added that buying new furniture would be expensive. Glinka estimated that a new table made of particle board and plastic would cost $150,000. He could refinish a wooden table for about $150 he said.
ASIDE FROM STRIPPING, sanding and refinishing furniture, the inmates cut some of the larger tables down to make them more functional in their new modular settings. The rooms must be fitted out more than 100-60 drawer card catalogs to polish the brass corners of the drawers, Glindaika.
Baggett said the project would cost about $400, which will come from Watson renovation money.
Glinka said the private companies he had checked with were charging much higher prices because their restoration work was done on a smaller scale than was that of K C L.
"I was rather surprised to learn that the prisoners don't have to work." Glinka said.
Last fall, Glinka and Jim Ranz, dean of the library, visited the plants at Lansing.
K. C.I. HAS an accounting department and delivery service as well as production plants. The company is located in the following cities:

He said that there are other minor drawbacks to the arrangement, such as work being delayed until replacements could be found for inmates who dropped out of the program. However, Glinka said that he was pleased with the arrangement.
"It's been kind of a harmonious relationship since it started," he said.
"The project represents a real savings to the state."

At a Faculty executive committee meeting that followed the SenEx meeting, members discussed a letter from Don Marquis, associate vice president of the expo, who suggested a way to allow more faculty to present.
University policy states that only 4 percent of the faculty may be on sabbatical during a semester.
He said that professors teaching at the KU Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., rarely went on leave and that if the Lawrence and Kansas City campuses could be counted as one, more Lawrence campus professors could take leave.
