Inflation causes rise in loans
By ROSE SIMMONS Staff Reporter
The high cost of college education has made the KU financial aid office a popular spot for students, according to Jerry Rogers, director of financial aid.
Traffic in the office of financial aid has increased dramatically during the last two years, Rogers said yesterday.
Since the fall term began, most students have come to the office to apply for Guaranteed Student Loans, Rogers said. Guaranteed Student Loans interest loans made by banks, usually in the hometown of the applicant.
So far, 3,896 students have received more than $9.9 million in GSL loans.
RONNI WILSON, New York City sophomore, has been to the office of financial aid several times in the last two years seeking a GSL she applied for in July.
"I need the money to help pay rent," she said.
Wilson said that she received a Basic Educational Opportunity Grant but that it was not enough after tuition and books.
Wilson also said that she worked part-time but that she did not earn enough money to live on.
Financial aid is designed to fill the gap between what a student needs for
educational and living costs and what a student earns or receives from his parents, Rogers said.
Most students fall in the dependent, single category, he said. The budget for this category is based on what it would cost to live on campus.
Living off campus is more expensive.
Some students living off campus are finding that the gap is not being filled with more financial assistance applying for GSL loans, Rogers said.
Rent increases are one reason that students living off campus are finding themselves short on funds. Since July 1979, housing costs have risen 18.1 percent according to a report by the Kansas Department of Human Resources.
THE COST OF renting a one-bedroom apartment in Lawrence has increased $10 to $40 in some buildings since last semester.
Twenty-eight of 30 Lawrence apartment managers contacted this week reported rent increases of 10 percent to 12 percent.
The Jayhawker Towers Apartments, 1603 W. 15th st., increased rent by $35 on all apartments because of inflation and other factors. Bebau, manager of the Towers, said:

ment in the Trailridge Apartments,
2500 W. Sixth St., increased by $40
because of inflation, Ricky Pierson,
manager, said.
Tibbs and his roommate, Bob Rusnak, Stilwell senior, lived in the apartment during the summer and had planned to split the $250 rent. Instead, they found they had to split the $350 rent and find a third roommate.
The rent for a one-bedroom apart-
Although Tibbs and Rusnak have no complaints about the rent, they do complain about the cost of food.
"The three of us spent $125 for
each meal and were gone in one
week," Rusnak said.
Food prices rose 1.1 percent nationwide from June to July, the highest consumer price increase of the year, pointing to the Human Resources report.
Rusnak said their food bill averaged $200 a month.
Both Rusnak and Tibbs work and receive aid from their parents. Rusnak was employed to be a GSL loan, but that it was spent on rent, books, food and August rent.
"The system doesn't stop a person from jumping over the turntie and running out the door," he said. He wanted to steal a book will steal it."
However, the system will prevent books from being spirited out of Watson.
Watson Library employs a person to sit near the exit to watch for books that have not been checked out.
The exit person is supposed to check purses, briefcases and bookbags. However, the library cannot detain a person who refuses to allow his belongings to be inspected, Malinowsky said.
Some people take books of erotic art and pornography because they are too embarrassed to check them out, Malinowski said. Only a small number of people deliberately steal books.
"Once we install this detection system, we won't have people going through briefcases and bookbags," he said.

No studies have been done on the number of books lost each year at the University of Kansas, he said, but studies at other libraries show estimated yearly losses of 4 to 10 percent.
MALINOWSKY SAID a really determined person still could find a way to steal books.

A strip of magnetic tape will be placed in each book. When a book is checked out, the strip will be demagnetized, Malinowsky said. If the tape is not demagnetized, an alarm will sound when the person carrying the book walks through the detection gate.
H. Robert Malinowski, associate dean of libraries, said the system would be used in the art, music, science and mathematics libraries, as well as in Watson Library.
"According to the manufacturer, there are very few false alarms," Malinowsky said.
A new library security system that will sound the alarm on book thieves is ready to be installed at four KU campus locations at Watson Lawson later this year.
