Students may still apply for financial assistance
By ROY KELLER Staff Reporter
Even at this late date, KU students may apply for and receive financial aid for the 1984-85 school year.
"We do not want any student to leave the University for financial reasons without first talking to a staff member in the financial aid office," said Jerry Rogers, director of the Office of Student Financial Aid.
"We may not be able to solve all
the problems we have, but we would like
the opportunity to try."
Students with pressing financial needs should begin the application process immediately. Students using a weekly tests to complete the procedure.
While some types of financial aid are highly competitive and have an early application date (March 1), funds are still available for students who can establish need.
Three main sources of financial aid are available to undergraduate at this time: Pell grants, guaranteed student loans and parents' loans for further education.
Part-time jobs and emergency loans also are available.
PELL GRANTS ARE available throughout the school year. But students cannot apply late in the spring and must be used before school year is out.
All students who qualify for Pell grants will receive aid. A student must be an undergraduate and must not have earned a bachelor's degree
in order to receive Pell funds. Eligibility for Pell grants is determined on the basis of financial need.
If the student is not listed on parents' tax forms, then he or she must submit a copy of his or her own 1040.
If a student applying for a Pell grant is listed as a dependent on his or her parents' income tax form, a signed copy of the parents' 1040 form must be sent to the Office of Student Financial Aid.
To complete an application for a Pell grant, the eligible student must fill out and mail an Application for Federal Aid. A dependent student also must have his parents sign the application
Guaranteed student loans are available through commercial banks. The loans are guaranteed by the Education Assistance Foundation.
STUDENTS CAN RECEIVE Pell
grants for as little as $250 or as much as $1,900 per year.
Many students process guaranteed student loans through hometown banks or savings and loan associations.
The Student Financial Aid Office also can provide students with a list of available lenders in the Lawrence area.
The yearly maximum for guaranteed student loans is $2,500 for an undergraduate student and $5,000 for a graduate student. The total maximum is $12,500 for an undergraduate and $25,000 for a graduate.
Parents and students must provide signed 1040 forms with the application.
THE CURRENT INTEREST rate on guaranteed student loans is 8 percent. Students usually must begin repayment on the seventh month after graduation, or after they leave school.
Students also must make "satisfactory academic progress" to remain eligible for Pell grants and guaranteed student loans. First semester students at KU are automatically eligible, but must make satisfactory progress to be eligible for the second semester.
Parent's loans for undergraduates are available, but Rogers said they were not available.

Eligibility is not restricted by the amount of parental income.
Under this parent loan program, graduate students are eligible on their own to borrow up to $3,000 per year, to a total of $15,000.
Part-time work also is an option for students with financial needs.
Independent undergraduates also may borrow up to $2,500 per year to the total of $12,500. This maximum total includes guaranteed student loans.
Landon predicts Republican edge
By United Press International
TOPEKA — Former Kansas governor Alf Landon says that the Republicans have the edge in the presidential election because they have a strong incumbent in a swinging out of poor economic times.
The office of student financial aid helps students find jobs through its Student Employment Center.
Landon's remarks were broadcast yesterday in a taped interview on ABC's "Good Morning America."
Besides the sound, tough leadership of President Reagan, Republicans now are boosted by the strong out of a depression, Landon said.
"I think we are helped somewhat by the opposition," he added. In his interview, punctuated by 1966 television news clips of a vigorous and fiery Landon, the two-term Kansas governor said he
Landon also said he had not been fooled by polls that showed him leading Roosevelt during the campaign, a campaign that eventually resulted in Landon's carrying only Maine and Vermont.
had predicted the nation would spend many years paying the debts of the incumbent Roosevelt administration.
"I was taking a fundamentally different position with Mr. Roosevelt," said Landon, who is the chairman of the trifecta of the Republican Party.
Landon, who will turn 79 Sept. 9,
said he watched Monday's televised speech by Ambassador
Patrick, a registered Democrat.
The GOP patriarch said he would watch fellow Republicans in Dallas from his home.
"I thought it was a pretty good talk." said Landon.
Like many groups that cater to KU students, Women's Transitional Care Services, a shelter for battered women and their dependent children, wants to let students know about its services and to recruit them as volunteers.

WTCS will participate in the Activities
Carnival. The carnival runs from
8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m tomorrow and
Friday in the Kansas Union lobby.
Student Union Activities and the Office of Student Organizations and Activities are sponsoring the carnival. London Bonds, assistant director of the office, said about 80 groups would have displays at the carnival.
She said its purpose was to expose students to military, religious, recreational, service and fraternal groups.
"It gives them a chance to find out first hand about the ones that are of interest to them," she said.
Others participating in the carnival include the Army ROTC, the Baptist Student Union, Kappa Alpha Club, and the KU Basketball Club and the KU Basketball Club
This is the fourth year the carnival has taken place at the beginning of each semester. Bonds said. She said 70 groups participated last year.
"More organizations hear about it and want to participate," she said. "The students want to continue with it."
Bonds said two groups would share a single table and would be allowed to use posters as well as soundless video displays.

The College Board report said average annual costs at four-year public colleges total $4,881, or $19,524 for four years.
Survey shows college
By United Press International
NEW YORK — The price of a four-year college degree from an elite private school has soared past $60,000, according to a United Press International survey of schools released this week.
$9,022 to $36,088. Those figures were based on 1984-85 tuition fees at those schools.
A survey of about 10 elite private schools indicated that costs have risen $700 to $1,000 over the 1983-84 school year.
The College Board's "average costs" includes tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, personal expenses, and transportation. The figures on costs at the elite private schools do not include transportation expenses.
The College Board, in a related report on college costs, said "average costs" of attending college are considerably lower, rising only 6 percent over last year — slightly above the Consumer Price Index and
below annual college increases of 10 to 11 percent over the past three years.
BUT HIGH COSTS are not limited by geography. Four years at Stanford University, in California, would cost $60,684.
At Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, the tab for the academic year starting in September is $15,800. A four-year MIT degree, based on no increases for the next three years, would cost $63,200.
Huge bills are the rule at Ivy League schools, acknowledged as the most elite and demanding academically. For a four-year degree at Princeton University, in New Jersey, the cost would be $61,340. At Yale
University, in Connecticut, the cost would be $61,680.
By contrast, the College Board report said the "average" cost of earning a degree at a four-year-private college would range from
