5,000 students file for aid
About 5,000 KU students filled Family Financial Statements and have applied for financial aid for next year. Jerry Rogers, director of Financial Aid, said yesterday.
Staff Reporter
Although the office of Financial Aid has received notification of only 4,700 processed applications, Rogers said he had not personally number who applied would be about 5,000.
"Some students who did apply have not yet been totaled in the number of processed applications that have been reported to our office." Roers said.
Hogers speculated the delay was because some students' applications were submitted early (before Iowa City, Iowa, until after Feb. 27, when the number of KU students who had filled out their applications)
Rogers said students who filed applications were being sent their processed resume to KU financial and office also received a comprehensive list of the need analysis of KU students who filled financial applications budget of aid available at KU to award.
"We have to get information from high school seniors and from transfer students before making awards," he said. "And for students returning to KU we have to get spring grades. So, it's likely awards won't be received." The spring semester grades are not posted."
ROGERS SAID even though the office had received the comprehensive listings, financial awards to KU students would not be made until June.
Rogers said the length of time between receiving the financial statements and
making awards was improving because of "automated help."
"This year, through the office of admissions and records, we're able to list data about applicants on a word processor. Students available much more conveniently."
ROGERS SAID the magnetic tape used in the word processor could condense student data, which could be "drawn out" from it, than by looking at each individual's file.
Rogers said a preliminary need analysis also was made by KU.
"There's a fantastic number of hours in background work that goes into making the awards," he said. "And part of that is determining each student's need, which done by looking at his file and making a preliminary need analysis.
"We also have to code students by their high school, county and major because some awards have requirements such as the highest grade of student from particular areas of the state."
Rogers said the student financial aid report was used by some students to find
errors they might have made when originally completing it.
Rogers said a student could file a corrected form for $3.
"This shows them the figures that were used to calculate their original financial need statement," he said. "By this a student can double check to see if any information supplied by him was misunderstood or misread."
"Most mistakes made concern tax information that was reported incorrectly," 20ers said.
Standard for aid strict
Although obtaining a financial award might seem like a big hassel, keeping it
KU recently has formulated a statement of "reasonable progress," to be used to determine re-awarding of federal financial aid, the director of financial aid, said yesterday.
"We actually established a standard last tah," he said. "And in order to keep our territory intact, we have to do something."
Rogers said federal government regulations made a progress standard曼国
The programs include National Direct Student Loans, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, College Work-Study, Health Professions Student Loans, Law and Legal Education, Basic Educational Opportunity Grants and the Guaranteed Student Loan Programs.
ROGERS SAID the standard included both completing a minimum number of credits with a minimum grade point of 2.0, and completing a minimum number of semesters a student had completed.
For example, Rogers said, a student who wanted to keep a financial award for a semester would have to have his first semester of college, would have to have 24 credit hours with a grade point average.
The minimum grade point average for award renewal was raised last fall one grade point from 1.0 to 2.0 over ten semesters.
"It's not a hard standard to achieve," he said. "So very few students at KU aren't able to abide by ft. And therefore, very few are considered on appeal."
"WE HAVE A committee of three persons from this office who do check the appeals," he said. "And usually the only exceptions are for students who have qualified extremely extinguish circumstances."
Rogers said those students who have lost their awards could appeal in writing.
"We're working on just how to handle the situation now," Rogers said. "It doesn't seem fair that one student who just sits the semester out can come back and get an award, when a student who might have been admitted as a semester, because he had lost his award and not completed the standard, might not get an award."

Rogers said although not many students lost awards because they could not obtain the standard, problems with students were a major obstacle in building school for a semester had occurred.

As least one Lawrence clothes buyer says she thinks the differences between East Coast and West Coast fashions are minimal.
"Some West Coast designers can be just as sophisticated, but they tend to be younger and newer to the business," she said.
Calamity James tends to order a more conservative line of clothes than she does, agrees with Harms that New York has a more sophisticated look in clothes.
"We get lines from both coasts," she said. "What we get seems to be pretty much the same. Pants from New York are about the same as pants from
Sue Ann Bradford, bruider for Clothes Encounter, 2449- GH Iowa st. , says it is sometimes difficult to distinguish any difference in fashions from the two coasts.
California--narrow. In California, they offer a lot of lightweight fabric because it's California."
McGivens he thinks Kansas women are 'up' on most fashion, but take it farther.
"She'll accept change in fashions more easily in the Calvin Klein or Halston lines--that is the lines that are usually more tailored and from the East-than she'll accept change in the more trendy looks from the West," he said.
Harms also says she thinks that Kansas women know the current fashion scene, but that they are afraid to buy until certain looks have gained acceptance. Advocacy women are about six months later, the high fashion looks of the coasts.
"It takes at least that long to change the ideas people have here," she said.
