GSL cuts would hurt med school students
By TOM HUTTON Staff Reporter
"Reagan's proposal is to eliminate the GSL program for graduate students everywhere," Burge said. "It probably has less impact than a form, but there's always the possibility."
KANAS CITY, Kan.-Proposals to eliminate the Guaranteed Student Loan program would affect more than 30 percent of the students at the University of Kansas College of Health Sciences. Bill Je Burger, director of student financial aid at the Med Center, said yesterday.
Burge said if Congress passed President Reagan's proposal to eliminate the GSL program to graduate students, 608 of the 1,000 students at the Med Center would lose their school funding.
Graduate students now funded under
the GSL program can receive up to 85,000 yearly and must pay the loan back after graduation at 9 percent interest.
PROGRAMS IN jeopardy at the MEd Center include graduate nursing, medical degrees and other graduate-level health science programs.
Students at the Med Center, through the Medical Students Assembly, conducted a mail-in campaign against the proposed cuts earlier this year.
The students mailed more than 300 postcards to Sens. Bob Dole and Nancy Kassebaum, both R-Kan., and Rep. Dan Glickman, D-Kan., expressing their displeasure with the proposal to end student loans.
Nearly 80 percent of the medical students use some type of loan system, Burge said. The high cost of medical school, she said, undoubtedly played a large part in the need for medical student loans.
The Med Center's Student Financial Aid Office recently estimated the yearly cost of medical school at nearly $10,000 for a Kansas resident. Tution is $3,800 for Kansas residents and $7,445 for non-residents.
THE LARGEST state program for medical students, which pays school expenses if students promise to attend in Kansas, was also recently reduced.
"For the class of 1986," Burge said, "65 spots have been cut from the program. It's going to affect a majority of our medical students."
Burge said that now 168 of the Med Center's 200 medical students receive training in the use of the promise of working in understaffed Kansas cities after graduation.
Mike Jefferson, Fort Scott medical technology student, began to receive telephone calls.
work in Kansas for three years after his graduation.
"With Reagan, everybody seems to be worrying about the cuts," Jefferson said. "It wasn't really a problem with Reagan and his administration, several programs to choose from."
BURGE SAID that although medical students would be hurt by the proposed cuts, the nursing program at the Med Center would possibly suffer the most.
The only student loan provision for nurses at the Med Center, Burge said, was a $30,000 yearly state-sponsored program. A small program such as this one, she said, is little help when there are more than 300 nursing students.
"I'd say the nursing program could be hurt most by any reductions in GSLs," Burge said. "We just don't have many alternatives for them."
One of the few alternatives, Burge said, is the Health Education said. Law pro-
Commission returns plan
By STEPHEN BLAIR Staff Reporter
The Lawrence City Commission last night voted 3-2 to return a development recommendation for Naisnith West to the Lawrence-Douglas County Plan.
Mayor Marci Francisco had said she wanted to change the zoning of at least part of the city to allow the city could have some control over the area's development.
Development of the 28-acre area, which is bordered by 24th and 27th streets, Ousdahl Road and the Naismith drainage channel, would cause problems with increased traffic and storm water run-off, Francisco said.
"People are telling me that there's water in their yard. We've seen pictures of it," she said.
Since the city has no legal control over future construction, there is no way to ensure that building near the Naismith drainage channel will not cause erosion problems, Commissioner Nancy Zoncta said. The city is not expected to build.
"What we don't know now is how much of that vegetation would be retained," she said.
Shontz also said that it was a beautiful wooded area and ought to be purchased.
Francisco agreed
The three commissioners voted to return the recommendation after it became evident that there were not the three commissioners by law to lower the zoning density.
Commissioners Don Binns and Barkley Clark said they would never vote for the downzoning.
In returning the planning commission's recommendation, the three commissioners hope to pressure the department for the implementation of drainage and traffic. Clark said.
But Clark said he and Binns prevented that leverage from working.
concerned about increased traffic, said she would like to see a change to lower density zoning.
"Since the developer knows they don't have four votes, the sword doesn't have any edge to it," he said.
"The only control we is zoning." Eldridge said. "And that still hasn't been accomplished. Ousdahl is already overloaded."
Clark said he would rather solve those problems by having city staff work with all the people involved rather than changing the zoning.
Keith Switzer, the engineer for the development, said he was frustrated that the commission was delaying the release by returning the recommendation.
But Jane Eldredge, attorney for residents on Ousdahl Road who are
In another matter, local attorney Ed Colliser should submit a plan for renovating the Lawrence Opera House.
The commission is encouraging the building's renovation for use by local performing arts groups.
The commission also deferred action until next week on amendments designed to bring the city's home day care code in compliance with state law.
Also at the meeting, Francisco gave Commissioner Nancy Shontz a green T-shirt that read "City Mother."
Francisco, who was wearing an identical shirt, said that she had heard a lot about city fathers and wanted to provide a balance.

Halls shut over semester break
The Residential Programs Advisory Board decided yesterday that KU residence halls would not be open to students for the interim between spring and summer semester this year.
The board acted on a recommendation from Fred McEhlenie, director of residential programs, that the halls close, but that residents who have summer hall passes must attend halls through May 17, the day after commencement. The scheduled date for halls to close is May 14.
The board, which has been wrestling with the problem of vacation housing all year, decided it
was fiscally impossible to keep the halls open for the longer-than-usual semester break of 23 days.
"I really feel like we're between a rock and a hard place," McElenie said. "It's a real hardship on people who must stay."
AS WITH other vacation periods, McElhenny said, it would have taken 50 residents each night of the break to pay the expenses of keeping a hall oop. The residents had been given $200 per person and the expense would be $207 for the entire period, all of which would have been required in advance.
McElhenie told the board that his office would assist any students in
Local motels also have been advertising special rates for the past two vacations, but they are annually booked solid for commencement. McEllenbia said this was the reason for allowing students with summer contracts to stay until after commencement.
finding accommodations for the 23- day break. He said the Jayhawker Towers and area hotels and motels were alternatives to residence hall
The Jayhawker Towers has offered vacant apartments to students during the last two vacation periods of four occupants per apartment.
