'Broke' Students Out of Luck; Aids, Awards Running Low
Penurious KU students will have to bide their time until more university loan funds are available May 3, according to Robert Billings, director of Aids and Awards.
Dana Stevens, assistant director of the Aids and Awards office, explained the situation.
"So many thousand dollars are budgeted for short-term loans," Stevens said.
"LAST MONTH WE had an unusually heavy run on these funds, so we dipped into the fund for the next month for emergency loans," he continued. "So this month we were short to begin with."
Stevens said most short-term emergency loans are to cover shortages on tuition, dorm payments, art students' supplies and emergency trips home.
The recent shortages are not typical, according to Stevens, "although it sometimes seems that way to students."
STEVENS SAID HE would hesitate to quote an average or median figure for the short-term loans.

"Often we see the maximum figure of $300, but they are of varying amounts," Stevens explained. "Some are for $10, $75—a great many for less than $100.
"Perhaps one of the more frequent figures we see would be $150," Stevens continued, "but it depends totally on the individual and his financial problems."
The percentage of Aids and Awards money allotted to short-term loans is also hard to figure, Stevens said.
"PART OF OUR LOAN funds are also allotted to National Defense Education Act, and in a program of cooperation with hometown banks," Stevens said. In the 1963-64 fiscal year, $2 million were awarded or loaned through the Aids and Awards office. Stevens said.
vary much this year," Stevens said. "It will be the same this year, perhaps higher, at least not less."
"There's no reason this should
During the same fiscal year, Stevens said, there were 2,250 short-term loans. Again, he said, there would probably be no appreciable change in the number this year.
"THAT MEANS THAT last year we awarded $498,025 in these short-term loans." Stevens continued. "That's $20-25 thousand a month."
"Regulations for applicants include having been a KU student for at least one semester or a summer session; three references; a co-signer if the maturity date on the loan is after May 31 of the current academic year; and at least a 10. grade point average.
Maximum amount of any loan is $300 and not more than $600 may be owed at any one time. Interest rates are four per cent per year and six per cent for overdue loans.

*This category includes current seniors who plan to continue at KU as graduate students and students who are in graduate school now and will return to KU in the fall of 1965 to continue their graduate work. It does not include students who will enter the Medical School in the fall of 1965 as their tickets will be applied for at the Medical Center in Kansas City.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Tickets will be applied for at Allen Field House—8:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon and 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. daily. Enter north doors of the Field House and go down the east corridor; ID CARDS MUST BE PRESENTED AND EACH STUDENT SHOULD BE PREPARED TO PAY A FEE OF $1.50 PER SEASON TICKET AT THIS TIME TO COVER THE COSTS OF ADMINISTRATION. (Any applications for refunds of the $1.50 fee must be made in writing to the Athletic Seating Committee of the All Student Council prior to Sept. 1, 1965).
Orders may be placed according to the above schedule and information for picking up your tickets next fall will be distributed to you during the 1965 Fall enrollment period. Students who fail to apply during their assigned day will not be given priority with their class section. Students who fail to make application this spring will have the same priority as "New Students" in the fall. It is to your advantage to make application for your 1965 student football season ticket this spring.
Group applications, within a priority classification will be limited to not more than twenty-five (25). (Exceptions will be considered in the case of exceptionally large pledge classes or classes within men's or women's residence halls.) It should be noted that independent groups can apply in groups if they so desire. All block applications will be given priority according to the student of lowest classification. The person(s) applying for a group must present ID cards for all members of the group.
After all applications are completed this Spring, a drawing will be held within each priority group to determine seat location. In this way an equal opportunity will be afforded to each student so long as you have made application on your assigned priority date. Individual orders and group orders will each be numbered and carry the same weight in the drawing of lots. The Athletic Seating Committee of the ASC will supervise the drawing of lots soon after the end of the ticket application period.
Season tickets for student spouses who are themselves students may be ordered at the earlier priority of either spouse. Season tickets for student spouses who are not themselves students may be ordered at the time their student spouse orders his or her ticket. The price for all student spouse tickets is $7.50. A price of $6.50 applies to housemothers, whose orders may be placed during any priority period.
New 1965 medical students will apply at the KU Medical Center in Kansas City next fall for their season tickets.
Pep Club members must present evidence of membership to be assigned seats in pep club sections. Members of the University Marching Band will have seats reserved automatically and need not order tickets.
To speed up group applications, arrange ID cards according to the following: A-F, G-L, M-R, S-Z, and present these grouped ID's to the proper tables set up in the East Lobby of Allen Field House.
NOTE: ID Cards Alone Will NOT Admit Students to Football Games Next Fall.
A Reserved Seat Season Ticket Will Be Necessary
