5,000 students file for aid
About 5,000 KU students filed Family Financial Statements and have applied for financial aid for next year, Riley Rogers, director of Financial Aid, said yesterday.
Although the office of Financial Aid has received notification of only 4,700 processed applications, Rogers said he was proud that a 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.
Rogers speculated the delay was because some students' applications were not received at the processing center in Iowa City, Iowa, until after Feb. 27, when the numbers of KU students who had filed were totaled.
ROGERS SAID even though the office had received the comprehensive listings, financial awards to KU students would not be made until June.
"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 the same as our spring semester grades are posted."
Rogers said students who filed applications were being sent their processed financial statement by mail. He said the student's profile was comprehensive list of the need analysis of KU students who filed financial applications, budget of aid available at KU to award.
Rogers said the length of time between receiving the financial statements and
"This year, through the office of admissions and records, we are able to list data about applicants on a word processor. Students in our department students available much more conveniently."
making awards was improving because of "automated help."
ROGERS AID the magnetic tape used in the word processor could condense student data, which could be "drawn out" by being seen 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 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 passing grade in a course 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.
"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."
KU recently has formulated a statement of "reasonable progress," to be used to determine re-awarding of federal financial aid. Mr. Zelman, director of financial aid, said yesterday.
Standard for aid strict
Although obtaining a financial award might seem like a big bussel, keeping it
"Most mistakes made concern tax information that was reported incorrectly," Rogers said.
Rogers said federal government regulation made a progress standard
The programs include National Direct Student Loans, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, College Work-Study, Health Professions Student Loans, Law Enforcement Educational Loans, Basic Education Loans and the Guaranteed Student Loan Programs.
"We actually established a standard last tail," he said. "And in order to keep our heads out of the way, we were."
ROGERS SAID the standard included both completing a minimum number of credits with a minimum grade point or complying with the number of semesters a student had completed.
For example, Rogers said, a student who wanted to keep a financial award for a second semester, after he had completed his first semester of college, would have to 24 credit hours with a grade point average of 1.30.
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 isn't a hard standard to achieve," he said. "So very few students at KU aren't able to able by ft. And therefore, very few are capable 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 extinguishing circumstances."
Rogers said although not many students lost awards because they could not obtain the standard, problems with students were common. Putting 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 sts the semester out can come back and get an award, when a student who might have received it from the university as a semester, because he had lost his award and not completed the standard, might not get an award."

Harris statement is valid
James Paddock, Douglas County District Court judge, ruled yesterday that an alleged murder confession given to law enforcers, Dr. Michael Harris, 26, Denver will not be suppressed.
Harris is charged with first-degree murder in connection with the November 1977 slaying of Sam Norwood, former manager of W. Woolworth Co. store, 911 Massachusetts.
Harris' defense attorney, Dennis Prater, had filed a motion alleging that Harris was coerced into giving a confession to three law officers who were transported to Kansas from Denver.
Harris' trial is scheduled to begin April 9 in Douglas County District Court.
Paddock ruled that the confession was valid because no coercive action was taken against him. Amendment rights were not violated and because Harris knowingly waged his right to have a trial.

Children's project to get priority
Staff Reporter
KANSAS CITY, Kan. - KU's Juniper Gardens Children's Project will receive the gift of $100,000 from the Committee on Mental Retardation prepare its annual report for HEM secretary Joseph Levine.
By MARK W. GATES
Three committee members spent Wednesday, Thursday and Friday studying the
The committee is making a series of visits to what are considered to be exemplary projects aimed at prevention of retardation from air causes.
"Never have I seen a more impressive job of reducing and preventing mental retardation," Andy Pollard, committee member and community liaison officer from the Neuropsychiatric and Mental Retardation Center in Los Angeles, said Friday afternoon.
“This is a tremendous job of community organization,” he said. “The cohesiveness
on the part of the faculty and staff from KU and the community people is great. There is tremendous caring from the KU people joined with genuine community concern."
THE JUNIPER Gardens Children's Project was established in 1968 by members of KU's Bureau of Child Research, the departments of human development and family life and special education, and local life and civil leaders in Kansas City, Kan.
The project focuses on pre-school programs, public schools, achievement motivation and parent programs designed to develop effective methods of teaching. The project has served 2,463 children since 1965.
"We've been here for 15 years and we've stayed in there, doing applied research, helping kids academically and teaching them. Vance Hall, director of the project, said.
Hall said the project had received about $6 million in federal funds since its invention.

"Our report going to Califano should give impetus to expanding the program here. We're going to tell Mr. Califano we need some money for this."
"RESEARCH PROJECTS are often very ivory-tower in their manner," said Ruth Diggs, committee member and specialist in intervention of childhood disabilities from Norfolk State College, Norfolk, Va. "They go into a community, do their research and teach children, and had their office in this community for 14 years and they feel the community pulse."
Hall said the project began when the Northeast Action Group, a collection of concerned community leaders, invited KU faculty to come into the community.
"The schools have cooperated," he said. "The churches have helped us. The University from the chancellor on down has given us support."
DIGGS SAID that some tours at similar program are worth $1,000 or more for the conference guests and the groups.
"This was not the case here," she said.
"The techniques using parents, grandparents and peers to tutute these children are not new. This is what this project's success all over the country."
The committee's report should be in the president's hands in eight or nine months, said Laverdy Taylor Roach, a mental health specialist with the President's committee.
