Aid forms due Nov.15
Students who want financial aid for the spring semester need to complete and file a financial aid application by Nov. 15 with the office of student financial aid.
According to Weinbliem, assistant director of the office, a financial aid statement needs to be completed and needed to the College Scholarship Service.
For those students who do not receive aid, applications for loans from the Guaranteed Student Loan program and from the Kansang Program of Kansas will be available, he said.
In order to ensure delivery of the loans by January enrollment, the application for the loans also should be completed and fled by Nov. 15, Weinberg said.

Lawrence economy called stable

city's economy should greatly outweigh the negative aspects of the national economy. Some positive aspects, he said, include new construction by the city and government, the growth of new industry and the completion of Highway K-10.
New construction and industries help to bring more money and people to the city, Diaceff said, and the completion of K-10 should make it possible for those living in eastern Douglas County to shop in Lawrence.
DAICOFF SAID the unemployment level in Lawrence probably would remain low next year. He predicted a 3.3 percent increase for 1978, compared to 3.3 percent this year.

Dulcoff said he disagreed with some city bankers and officials who think high interest rates may cause economic problems for businesses. He added that tended only to affect housing and

With the decline in enrollment, Hughes said, the city will have to rely on businesses and industries to continue the growth of the city. If this happens, it will mean an increased number of people will be seeking permanent housing rather than rentals.

City expecting few problems with'79 budget
President Carter's program to fight inflation could cause budgeting problems for other cities across the country, but Lawrence city officials say they do not expect serious problems with next year's city budget.
`'darter's program to fight inflation calls`
`on salary increases and fringe benefits.`
Buford Watson, city manager, said yesterday that the anti-inflation program probably would not affect the city's budget because the city already had granted a 6 percent increase in salaries for city employees.
"We have set a 6 percent increase in salaries, effective Jan. 1, 1979," Watson said. "We want to try to conform to the program, and so far, we think we are."
BRENT McFALL, management analyst, agreed with Watson.
"Carter's program shouldn't have much effect," McFall said. "We have agreed to a 6 percent salary increase for our employees, which we would only equally the same program as the one we have."
Both officials also said they thought the inflation program would not affect the city's economic growth.
If the Lawrence budget does not conform to the program's guidelines, the city could require the department to pay.
Although the program is voluntary, Carter has hinted that the government might reduce federal grants to cities that do not follow the guidelines.
