Loan, grant paperwork ties up financial aid office
Loan and grant applications and requests for adjustments have swamped the Office of Student Financial Aid with paperwork, but the staff still want to ensure the still was seeking more students to help.
"There are probably kids out in the
houses that would be eligible for
girlguess." Roggers said recently.
He said that paperwork required for loan and grant applications sometimes became ridiculous, but that it was the business of his office.
"Three to four years ago we cut down on our airline programs, and our aid programs into one application per Rogers said, "but we've got to keep records of every person awarded aeward every year by the airlines," he makes.
He said adjustments in the amount of money to be awarded to students were the result of a change in the budget.
"First we loan money, then a kid goes grant and we check our guidelines and decide that we should have loaned him so we can get away. We quickly, we not to make an adjustment."
Rogers said office personnel were going to start checking every month the income of each student receiving money through his or her school to emplys with federal guidelines he said.
Though the financial aid programs could be administered elsewhere, Rogers said he thought it was important that they be college-based.
He said the plan that former President Richard M. Nixon had wanted for handling financial aid would have required students to apply for aid at three different places.
Rogers said some positions recently had been added in the office with money provided by the KU Endowment Association and the University administration. He said the increase in positions would mean that government began the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant (BEOG) program last year.
State committee discusses funds for KU computer
A $120,000 proposal to improve a Geological Survey computer system used in oil exploration is under consideration by a Kansas legislative committee.
The special committee on conservation and natural resources is "interested and very strongly in favor of supporting" an undergraduate program in the development of the Automated Resource Evaluation System (ARES), a computer system of the Geological Survey at the University of Kansas, William W. Hammond, dean of the Geological Survey, said Saturday.
ARES is a highly sophisticated system that can put any kind of information into numerical form and use that information to produce new information, Hambleton said. ARES then has the capability of implementing the new information in map form.
The proposed $120,000 would buy several hardware accessories to the present KU computer and pay for two persons to operate them. Hambleton said.
The main accessory would be a high-speed plottter to replace an older, slower plottter. A plottter produces the maps from information fed into the computer. The old plotter frequently breaks down and is costly to maintain, Hambleton said.
The University originally sent the $120,000 appropriation to the Board of Regents, where it wasn't included in the Regents' recommendations to the Kansas Legislature, he said. The special committee for conservation and natural resources requested the appropriation through other work with the Geological Survey.
Besides oil exploration, ARES can be used for mineral resource investigations, demographic work and any kind of information related to data information and the display of that information, Hambleton said. The Geological Survey has an oil exploration test underway
ARES use information from the Geological Survey. The Survey has data on more than 150,000 gas and oil wells drilled in Kansas.
"This system will enable us to begin to put
it into use, in useful purposes for
exploration," he said.
Hambleton said that ARES is needed because the usual process of working with large quantities of information and putting it into a form understood by most people is
It takes a good draftman many months to construct a good map; ARES can do it in minutes.
ARES also is capable of producing the overlays for four-color map and the plates for 3D renderings.
The "software," or the computer instructions for the solution of computer problems, of ARES has been in use for some time, he said. Work on the software began five years ago and the major computation is done in the KU computer system.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMOS
The BEOG application requirements are more complex than those of the other grant programs, he said. Also, as with other new technologies, the program must get to students to take advantage of it.

The appointment of a student member to the Kansas Board of Regents is just one suggestion for improving communications and student body president, said yesterday.

Maria Dobozy, Trenton, N.J., graduate student, and David Hiebert, Topeka graduate student, have received Fulbright-Hays travel grants for graduate study at the University of Tuebingen, Germany, for the current academic year. Dobozy will continue work in Germanic for her doctoral dissertation, and Hiebert will work on research for his Master's thesis in German history.
Graduate grants
Pharmacist appointed
Harold N. Godwin, director of pharmacy services at the KU Medical Center, has recently been appointed to two national committee positions with professional pharmaceutical associations. Godwin will be chairman of the American Pharmaceutical Association's policy committee on public affairs and chairman of the American Society of Hospital Pharmacist's joint committee with the American Hospital Association.
A total of 500 grants under the Mutual Educational Exchange Program (Fulbright-Hays) are available for graduate study abroad. Candidates must be citizens of the United States, have a bachelor's degree or its equivalent by the beginning date of the grant, have language ability commensurate with the demands of the proposed study projects and good health. Preference is given to those between 20 and 35 years of age. Application forms and information may be obtained from J. A. Burzie, 206 Strong Hall. The deadline for filing applications is Oct. 3.
Fulbright-Hays
Cottonwood grant
The Cottonwood Library has received an $800 matching grant from the co-ordinating council of Literary Magazine. Matching funds are to be supplied by the KU Endowment Association. The money will be used to help pay printing costs of the Review. The Cottonwood Review is a magazine which prints work of local and national talent. The magazine is printed jointly by the University Printing Service and The House of Usher.

Beinser said the three-year terms of regents probably would require that a student representative be a sophomore when appointed to the board.

"I don't see how he could know enough to be effective," he said.
Several states constitutionally provide for a voting student member of the governing body.
Another way of achieving student representation on the board would be for the state governor to appoint a student he said. The governors of Pennsylvania, Alabama, Ohio, Massachusetts and New York have taken action in providing for student representation.

WHO IS REALLY WORKING HARD FOR KANSAS?
Compare the Accomplishments of a Typical 10 Days of Work
In Kansas, with the U.S. Senate election now coming within sight, people have an unusual opportunity to match records and compare achievements by the two men who want to represent them in the senate. The Congressional Record is a good place to look.
Look below at the comparison of the two candidates who want your vote this year. It tells a story which needs no interpreter.
