Delays in GSL processing leave some without monev
By VERONICA JONGENELEN Staff Reporter
A delay in the processing of student loan applications left some students without their Guaranteed Checks or checks at enrollment this semester.
Jerry Rogers, director of financial aid, said the processing started late because of a lack of federal guidelines regarding the loans.
"NOBODY COULD start (processing) until almost the first of June," he said, adding that June 25 was the last day processing could begin if the loan check was to have been prepared in time for enrollment.
"It's been unfortunate, but we've made some arrangements for students to get enrolled without too many hitches," he said.
One of those arrangements was
for students to defer their fee payments until the loan check arrived. However, students would not officiate and therefore they paid their fees. Rogers said.
According to Marilyn Alien, a graduate assistant who worked at the GSL table during enrollment, fee deferment was "such an absurdly low percentage of people had charge cards so they could charge it anyway," she said.
SOME STUDENTS could use other sources of financial aid to pay fees, Rogers said. Still others knew before enrollment that their checks would not arrive and took out shorter loans, he said.
And while the problem was not new, he said, the numbers involved had never been so great.
"We've had a steady stream of people, but it's been calm," Allen said.

The pending renovations to turn the Lawrence Opera House into a performing arts center have hindered booking of engagements, the manager of the opera house and Off-the-Wall Hall said yesterday.
Remodeling of Opera House delays engagement bookings
THE LAWRENCE City Commission has appointed attorney Ed Collister to develop a renovation plan by Sept. 15.
Craven said he thought the opera house would be restored to its 1920s form, including a theatre, orchestra pit and a multi-purpose dance floor. Also, the new performing arts center would house many different forms of entertainment, he said, such as ballet and plays.
Managor Bill Craven said the opera house, 642 Massachusetts St., had passed sanitation and fire inspections and had re-opened last Wednesday.
The owner of the opera house, Skip Moon, agreed.
A performing arts center by itself will not support the opera house, he said, but if the center is combined with blue chairs and rock shows it could be profitable.
Moon had to close the opera house in January because he lacked the funds to pay for a sprinkler system the state fire department required. The system cost more than $15,000.
His ownership of the opera house is now being questioned in court because of a lawsuit filed by the Lawrence National Bank and Trust Co. The bank wants to collect a promivory note of $120,000.
Commissioner Nancy Shontz said the city might buy the property when the legalities are cleared and funds are available.
