Loans may decrease at KU next semester
If Congress adopts the proposed budget for fiscal year 1970, total allocations to the National Defense Student Loan program will decrease for the first time since the program was started 10 years ago, Robert Billings, director of financial aid, said yesterday.
"Next year will be a most critical period for KU loans if Congress adopts this budget." Billings said. "As of this year, 1968-1969, we loaned $800,000 to 1,200 students, but next year we will only be able to loan $690,000 to 1,050 students.
"If a student walked into our office today and wished to take out a loan of $700, we would check his financial need and academic record. If next year the student would again need a loan of $700, we would check his financial need and academic record, but most likely he would receive only $500 as compared to the $700 he would have received this year," he said.
Billings said the federal allocation drop would affect all universities and colleges in the National Defense Loan program. The number of students
receiving these loans would drop from 442,000 to 398,000. The proposed budget would cut university budgets by $31.5 million and would provide funds for 44,000 fewer loans.
In beginning stages of this program, fewer institutions had participated, however, each year new members were admitted cutting down the individual allocations, Billings said.
Instructors accept raise in minimum pay
A committee of graduate instructors last night decided to accept a $100 raise in minimum pay but press for the additional $100 requested in their petition
The pay raise (point one of the petition) will begin with the 1969-70 school year.
"The administration seems to think it's quite a concession; they may or may not have had this raise in the budget to begin with," said Robert Asch, New York City graduate student and chairman of the committee which drew up and circulated the petition.
The petition also requested a yearly six per cent cost of living increase, to be separate from any similar provision for faculty (point two), and an elimination of tuition fees for teaching graduate students (point three).
Asch said that departmental chairmen would have to vote on point two; he said a member of

"I think the seriousness of the situation can be depicted through these figures: in 1965-1966 more than $1 million was available for KU loans; in 1967-1968, $95,500 was available; in 1968-1969, $800,000 was available, and in 1969-1970 only $690,000 will be available." he explained.

his committee would go before a meeting of the chairmen.
Point three, said Asch, could not be decided by the University but would have to get on the agenda of the Kansas Board of Regents.
With the tightening of federal allocations for student loans, the standards for loans will be raised, Billings said.
Billings concluded that the only thing students could do about the money cut would be to start planning financial needs for the next year

THE FRIENDLIEST SERVICE IN TOWN IS AT THE STABLES!
This bold statement of fact is just another blaring example of why The Stables is rated as the famed home of the KU student.
Our array of talented, gallant, suave and debonair employees continually strive to take care of all our customers beg'ns and plead'ns, want'ns and need'ns, especially if they are females or can pass for one. In the above picture, Greg Gorman, Overland Park sophomore, goes that extra step to assure added enjoyment to a tasty patron's evening by lighting her cigarette. But outside of Greg's work at The Stables, he gets his jollies (the printable kind) by window peeking at various campus sororities and fraternities. He recently received great reviews from area papers when he interrupted the recent Lou Rawls show when he walked on stage in a Ku Klux Klan robe. Printed on this robe was the name of one of our competitors. Last year Greg gained international fame when he donated his six pet piranha fish to the Chi Omega fountain. "I thought it would be a groovy improvement to an old KU landmark." It definitely was as the total number of fingers, toes, legs, arms, etc. that were lost that day are still not known. The hardest hit by these man-eating鱼 were the SAE's, who after tossing an arrogant fifth semester pledge into the fountain could only recover enough of him to fill an envelope. Once the pond was emptied and the security department destroyed the fish, Greg turned the Campus Police into the authorities at the national headquarters of the Humane Society.
