Loans to students' parents possible Bill would provide GSLs alternative
ByCOLLEEN CACY Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
Help may be on the way for students who are no longer eligible for Guaranteed Student Loans.
A state legislative interim committee has introduced a bill that would allow parents, as well as students, to be eligible for low-interest, federally guaranteed loans.
The House Ways and Means Committee began hearings on the bill Friday. It would amend Kansas law to allow the Higher Education Loan Program of Kansas to make loans available to parents for no more than the cost of their child's college education.
State Rep. Don Crumbraker, R-Brewster, a member of the Legislative Educational Planning Committee that recommended the bill, said the measure will help ensure that is important because of restrictions placed on GSAs.
Dr. Richard Hawk, president of the Higher Education Loan Program, said parent loans were used to cover some of the costs.
"Any parent who has a son or daughter at an eligible institution can borrow long as the loan is made to an unregistered student."
education," he said. "Income is not a factor with parent loans."
STUDENTS applying for GSLS, as of Oct. 1, 1981, must file a family income report. If family income is more than $30,000, the student must undergo a financial needs analysis. Hawk said.
The change is the introduction of the requirement that the expected family contribution be deducted from the amount the student is eligible, he told the committee. "The education, minus any other financial aid, minus the expected family contribution."
Hawk said the expected family contribution would not be taken into account for parent loans. He added that if both a student and his parent had the same educational background, he would not exceed the cost of the college education.
The expected family contribution is the estimated amount of financial aid a student's parents will be able to provide, and it applies to students who must file a needs analysis.
He said the maximum parent loan would be $3,000 a year.
The interest rate on parent loans would be 14 percent, higher than the 9 percent rate on student loans. Also, interest would be applied to parent loans as soon as they were taken out, but
the federal government would pay interest on student loans while the student was in school.
FOR THIS reason, parent loans are more attractive to the federal government, Steve Linenbergh legislative director of the University of Kansas, said. ASK is a student lobbying group.
"This is one of the few pieces of national legislation that not only helps the federal government but also helps students," Linenherer said.
Lienberger, who spoke in favor of the bill at the hearing, pressed that it would pass in the court. It could easily be
"I see really no problems. It's a fairly uncontroversial bill," he said. "It won't cost the state a cent. And in today's market, 14 percent is a very low interest rate."
Linenberger said the guaranteed loans were available as a last resort. If an applicant cannot get a loan through a bank, the Higher Education Loan Program will lend him the money.
SenEx calls parking decision bad idea
Hawk said the money for the loans came from the sale of revenue bonds that the Higher Education Assistance Foundation sold to inducers. The bonds are exempt from federal and state taxes.

The money used for paying the justices probably would increase parking fees, according to Ernest Angino, SenEx chairman and professor of geology and civil engineering.
Paying the justices cost about $7,000 a year. Loren Busby, vice chairman of SenEx and Co-Chairman of Senate, said
Busy is a member of the Parking and Traffic board at the meeting when the board decided to pay it.
The University Senate executive committee Friday decided to advise the Parking and Traffic Board that its recent decision to pay 15 student traffic court justices was a bad idea and a bad
The justices, who are law students, serve on the KU Board of Parking and Traffic Appeals and review parking and traffic tickets at the request of people who receive tickets.
THE PARKING and Traffic Board decided to pay the justices at a meeting last week after Kent Frobish, traffic court justice and Lawrence second-year law student, suggested it.
Frobish said the justice worked three to 10 hours a week and could make at least $4 an hour at other law-related jobs, either on- or off-campus.
Laurence Rose, SenEx member and professor of law, disagreed.
"I have trouble with the payment of people who we appoint to boards," Rose said. "They put money down."
SenEx members agreed that paying the justices was a bad precedent, because other University governance members might decide they also deserved nav.
Governance members who might request payment for their services include SenEx members, University Council members, Student Senate and Library Committee members, Bussy said.
- we'd wind up having to pay at least 100 people, probably," Busy said.
"Logically, we'd have to pay everyone else because they serve about the same function."
In other business, SenEx discussed the use of University computers for word processing.
Some students use the computers to process theses, Angino said. This usually costs a department between $250 and $350 a thesis, and has cost as much as $500 a thesis, he said.
"If you get 10 theses every year at $500 per, that's $5,000." Angino said.
That could use a department's entire computer budget, he said.
Word processing is especially a problem in science departments, he said.
SenEx will discuss a policy to address this problem at its next meeting, Angino said.
Senate group to push sale of beer in Memorial Stadium
SenEx also decided to continue using the entire name of a class in the University timetable. Course names are now shortened to 18 characters on grade sheets.
The Student Senate has formed a task force to push for permission to sell beer in Memorial Square.
Beer sales could raise $40,000 to $45,000 and decrease the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation's $18,000 deficit, the senator, Jeff Silvester said. Silverstein is the task force's coordinator.
Silverstein said beer sales could also cut drunkenness from the hard liquor that fans like to drink.
Another Senate group proposed beer in the stadium to the Senate, KU administrators and managers.
"They're going to get drunk faster drinking Jack Daniels than 3.2 beer," Silverstein said.
"Last year, the only problem was with alums" Silverstein said.
Alums were concerned that students would become unruly in the stands.
SILVERSTEIN said the economic benefits could make a favorable impression this year.
"People are realizing we're in a bad economic situation." Silverstein said.
"They're kind of half-yes and half-no," he said. The task force has been contacting other universities that allow beer in their stadiums and field houses.
So far, he said, the administration's reaction had been positive and not all alumni had been on course.
Weather
There is a winter storm watch for today with a 70 percent chance of snow, according to the National Weather Servi-
tation. A cumulative accumulation of up to four inches is likely.
The high today will be in the mid-20s, low tonight around 10 to 15 degrees.

Community involvement vital to Reagan plan, officials say
By KEVIN HELLIKER Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
Some Kansans will be devastated by President Reagan's "new federalism" unless local communities forge and fund their own social programs, Robert Harder, Secretary of the state department of Social and Rehabilitative Services said yesterday.
Harder told an audience at the Lawrence Public Library that local communities in Kansas would have to help support the more than 40 federal programs that Reagan advocated shifting to the states in his first State of the Union message last Tuesday.
If Congress approves Reagan's recommendations, the state SRS staff could competently take over such programs as food stamps, community development and services for the handicapped and others, but that would be incomprehensible if these programs were incomprehensible without adequate funding.
"From the standpoint of human suffering and misery, if there aren't people in the local communities stepping forward to help out the state, it will be devastating by these changes," Harder said.
*We are in a position to carry out the new
federalism only if the money is available." Harder said. "The key issue is the raising of state money."
HARDER suggested that local communities highlight areas of need and send representatives to those areas.
The state's ability to fund these services still is uncertain, he said, but as much as $30 million could be required to maintain the programs as they now are run by the federal government.
If that much money is needed, the situation could be bleak, he said.
But State Sen. Jane Eldredge, R-Lawrence, said the president's plan represented a long-awaited opportunity for more freedom in Kangas.
"I think this is an exciting time," she said.
"We've long saked for more control over our
world."
Eldridge said that a recent survey by the Wall Street Journal marked Kansas as one of the richest states in the nation in its surplus wealth and policies against deficit spending
"We've always sent more money to the federal government," she said. "I say that we are going to do very well."

Snacking on the go leaves students with sweet tastes
By KIM NEWTON Staff Reporter
It was midmorning at the Wescoe Hall vending area. Students who had slept through breakfast, or needed a snack before lunch, carried cups of coffee and packages of powdered-sugar doughnuts to empty tables. One student clutched a book bag in one hand and a milk carton and a package of chocolate cupcakes in the other.
Another woman willed doughnuts, drinks, bags of potato chips and a honey bun on a tray. A cookie is on the plate.

CANDY IS one of the most frequently purchased items from KU's vending services.
Snacking is one of America's favorite and most versatile pastimes. Snackers' preferences vary, ranging from hot, glazed doughnuts, ice cream cones and candy bars to potato chips and popcorn. Some people indulge occasionally, while others consume sugary confections and salty snacks regularly.
Georgine Larsen, dietitian at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, attributed snacking to boredom, depression, habit and social conditioning.
College students are perhaps the most

About 65,000 candy bars and 130,000 soft drinks are sold each month, compared with 1,000 apples and oranges, 1,000 packets of cheese and crackers and 800 containers of peanut butter to Porsche Jelly, assistant manager of concessions, who is in charge of vending services.
susceptible to snacking, if vending statistics are any indication.
Vending services include about 280 campus machines and Wescos Hall's vending machine.
Jolly attributed the use of vending services to convenience.
You grant me a concession.
Jolly said candy wasn't bad in itself.
"You're in a hurry, it's around lunch time, and you can't make it to the dorn," he said, smiling. "I'll just wait."
"It's the frequency that makes the misuse, not the quality of the item," he said.
The frequency of such high-calorie consumption often can put extra pounds on a person, Larsen said. She said that Americans were some of the most obese people in the world and that snacks probably contributed to that.
