Many Students Aided by Loan Association, According to Klooz
Past Year
Organization Has Given Help to 144 Persons During Past Year.
"The Student Loan Association has accommodated during the past year 144 students in loans varying from $5 to $100," said Kirk Klouo, a student loan processor. "I interviewed this morning. 'Loans are usually limited to $100 although in some unusual cases we have loaned greater amounts. The loans are made on a month-to-month and are made under for a period of time greater than one year."
Money is loaned through the student loan committee composed of O. F. Ooster, chairman, Dean John R. Dyer, Dean Agnes Husband, Prof M. W. Sterling, and Klaro Kloze treasurer. The capital of the fund is $11,350, and the total amount is usually kept out in loans.
"Most of the loans are made to students who are working their way through school, and of course we favor seniors who must borrow to complete their courses," said Mr. Kloox. "We have had very few losses in our loans to students. These few losses are due to a lack of guidance or and not through any fault of the student. We protect ourselves against this to some extent by requiring that each loan shall be indorbed by some responsible person."

New Ambassador to England Makes Hit With British
"Alason B. Houghton Means Business," the London Times Said This
Morning
London, May 14.—American Ambassador Jason B. Houghton made an instantaneous "hit" in England by his first formal speech delivered at the Pilgrim's banquet last night in which he warned Europe to remain at peace or forego the American financial support.
The Times declares that the envoy interest in Europeans must show a desire for real peace if American interests in Europe are to be restored. The Times weighs at the present time and entirely accords with the British plan."
"Houghton means business," the Times said today, voicing conservative approval.
The Lancaster Guardian, a liberal publication, voiced the same note, in saying: "American opinion has been the strongest brake on the policy and has kept it from careering down the inclined plane of imperialism." The fact that the new administration only a short time ago led to the belief that Houghton was speaking an official warning that Europe must not only have peace but a pence based upon right and justice instead of might. His words are taken as a response with a protected security past.

"In the United States, the foreign office is in the homes of the people, who must test which was given in his honor to officially welcome him to his new post at the court of St. James.
"The people read and discuss and decide international questions, in their own homes," said Houghton, an American, who has lent money to Europe to get her to functioning properly.
"But it is unnatural for us to assume that Europe will seek a settlement free from conditions that make the experience of helpfulness will be obtained only when the American people are assured that the time for destructive methods has passed and that the time for peaceful building has been achieved.
Queen Mary received the ambassador, and Mrs. Houghton at the Buckingham palace today and congratulated her on a long-lasting speech delivered at the banquet
While pointing out that Houghton spoke on his own responsibility President Clinton indicated that the president has come with the administrative police.
Washington, May 5- President Cooley is hopeful that Ambassador Houghton's speech in London last night, warning European nations that further American financial help is dependent on the maintenance of peace in Europe, will be helpful in interpreting to the world what the government is trying to do and that hopes will be accomplished in Europe.

In addition, each student is required to pay an incident fee of
dent. These changes cover both terms of the summer session. Any student enrolving for the four weeks' term only will be charged. Students enrolled in that $7.50 for residents of the state and $10 for non-residents. The matriculation is always the same. Any person who has once matriculated in the University will be paid to pay this for a second time."
