Senators reject bill to kill NDEA loan
A bill to end the National Defense Education Association (NDEA) loan program, which amounted to $1 million at KU last year, was rejected by the U.S. Senate Education Committee Wednesday.
The bill was sent to the Senate along with the Viet Nam appropriation. Washington official's speculated that this is one of many bills to cut government spending to finance the war.
"WE WOULD have been in serious trouble if this measure passed," Robert Billings, director of Aids and Awards, raid.
"Our loan program is very important in supporting a good group of students at KU and since it would have been impossible to get these loans elsewhere it would probably have reduced enrollment."
Billings says he thinks the program may die, but in a two or
nine year program. This would give an alternate financial aid project time to develop in its place, be said.
The United Student Aid Fund, the replacement program for KU, is handled through the state banking system. Under the USAF, a university can guarantee repayment of a student loan by depositing eight per cent on a principal in the banks and in turn enable funds to be available to a needy student.
OPFOSITION IN THE Senate was led by Senator Ralph W. Yarborough (D-Texas). "This attempt to end the National Defense Education Act loan program is a dagger in the back of higher education in this country," he said.
The NDEA, established in 1958, has enabled 800,000 students to receive aid amounting to $620 million.
Secret Service involves Philippines in sex scandal
MANILA — (UPI) — With newspaper headlines blaring "sex scandal," Philippine President Ferdinand E. Marcos today fired 10 members of his nationwide secret service police organization and six female agents, including one woman charged with running a call-girl ring in the suburbs.
Marcos ordered a top-to-bottom overhaul of the Philippine Criminal Investigation Service (CIS) after a Filipino senator charged Thursday that six female agents had received appointments on the basis of "questionable relationships" with top-ranking officers.
Sen. Alejandro Almendras told the Senate Thursday that he
knew of one woman agent who allegedly ran a call-cell racket operating out of her plush apartment in suburban Pasay City.
