5,000 students file for aid
By LESLIE GUILD
Staff Reporter
About 5,000 KU students filed Family Financial Statements and have applied for financial aid for next year. Roger Jergers, director of Financial Aid, said yesterday.
Although the office of Financial Aid has received notification of only 4,700 processed applications, Rogers said he and his staff did not know 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." Roeters said.
Rogers speculated the delay was because some students' applications were not processed, but Iowa City, Iowa, until after Feb. 27, when the numbers of KU students who had filed
Rogers said students who filed applications were being sent their processed financial statement by mail. He said the goal of the task was to comprehensive list of the need analysis of KU students who filed financial applications with 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 might awards won't be posted." The spring semester grades are 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
"This year, through the office or on missions and records, we are able to list data about applicants on a word processor. Students have also been the students available much more conveniently."
making awards was improving because of "automated help."
ROGERS SAID the magnetic tape used in the word processor could condense student data, which could be "drawn out" from them by looking at each individual's data.
Rogers said a preliminary need analysts 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 is 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 a Bachelor's degree or students from particular areas of the state."
Rogers said the student financial aid report was used by some students to find
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."
errors they might have made when originally completing it.
Standard for aid strict
"Most mistakes made concern tax information that was reported incorrectly," persons said.
Although obtaining a financial award might seem like a big hassle, 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.
Rogers said federal government regulations made a progress standard mandatory.
"We actually established a standard last fall," he said. "And in order to keep our funding we must abide by it in awarding."
The programs include National Direct Student Loans, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, College Work-Study, Health Professions Student Loans, Law Student Loans, Medical Education 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 3.0 or greater, and a minimum number of semesters a student had completed.
For example, Rogers said, a student who wanted to keep a financial award for a senior in college would 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 it. And therefore, very few are considered on appeal."
Rogers said those students who have lost their awards could appeal in writing.
"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 extenuating circumstances."
Rogers said not many students lost awards because they could not obtain the standard, problems with students and teachers, in building school for a semester had occurred.
"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 tried to finance his own way through the course he had lost his award and not completed the standard, might not get an award."

Harris statement is valid
Harris is charged with first-degree murder in connection with the November 1977 slaying of Sam Norwood, former manager of W. Loolworth Co. store, 911 Massachusetts.
James Paddock, Douglas County District Court judge, ruled yesterday that an alleged murder confession given to law enforcement, Harris, 38, Denver, will not be suppressed.
Paddock ruled that the confession valid because no coercive action taken in the car, because Harris' Amendment rights were not violated because Harris knowingly waived his to counsel when being questioned.
Harris' defense attorney, Dennis Prater, had filed a motion alleging that Harris was coerced into giving a confession to three law offices. He said he was being transported to Kansas from Denver.
