U.S. Student Loan Deadline Jan.21
The deadline for filing applications for second semester loans under the National Defense Student Loan program is next Wednesday.
Spencer A. Martin, director of aids and awards, said about 100 inquiries concerning the program have been made so far.
Irvin Youngberg, executive secretary of the Endowment Assn. and KU's representative to the loan program, said today it is hoped recipients of the loans can be notified about Feb. 1.
"Until that time the University will not be certain of its initial allotment under the program," he said. The amount is not expected to exceed $35,000.
Students wishing to file applications for the loans should pick up application blanks at the office of aids and awards, 222 Strong.
All full-time students, either married or single, with a minimum grade point average of 2 in University work are eligible for the loans.
The main consideration in granting loans will be financial need. Students may borrow up to $1,000 for one academic year or a total of $5,000 while in the University.
The loans are interest free until one year after graduation. After
that time the interest rate will be three per cent. Loans are repayable in annual payments over a period of 10 years. Co-signers are required only of borrowers under 21 years of age.
The loan and the interest on the note will be cancelled to a maximum of 50 per cent for borrowers who serve as full-time teachers in public elementary or secondary schools.
Borrowers must also sign a loyalty oath to the United States government. Mr. Youngberg said.
The University has filed applications for $100,000 for the spring semester, $10,000 for 1959 summer school and $250,000 for 1959-69.
Of the $5 million appropriated by Congress to Kansas colleges and Universities, only $97,508 has been allocated, Mr. Youngberg said. Congress has authorized $47,500,00 for the program for the fiscal year ending June 30 and larger sums for the three following years.
The Summerfield Foundation has provided the $3,500 needed to match the federal grant for KU.
Take 'Don't Walk,' but Walk
BATON ROUGE, La. — (UPI) — Desk sergeant M. K. Gunby tried to help a telephone caller who asked directions to the state capitol building.
