Student Loan Service Aids
Many University Students
By GARY RODGERS
Copy Editor
It is no longer necessary for any
capable and industrious student to
be denied the privilege of attending
college for financial reasons.
Through scholarships, loans and
part-time employment each stu
dent may earn his way through col
lege. Student loans this year have
reached a new high. It is expected
that over $120,000 will be loaned
out to students for the school year
1957-58.
During the period of July 1
through Sept. 15 1957, 1 loans
were made totaling $40,900 as com
pared to the same period in 1956
when 110 loans were made totaling
$19,900.
These loans enable ir.any stu
dents .to borrow the needed funds
to provide the education which
they may otherwise be denied.
Trust Funds
The funds which are available
for loans to students are trust
funds in the custy of the Board
of Regents or the University Foun-
dation. All such funds have been
donated by individuals, organiza
tions, or firms, for the exclusive
purpose of making loans to need
ing and deserving stidents.
During the past academic year,
838 students took advantage of
these loans. All loans are made
for that respective academic yeari
and are due on the following Sept.
!
Examples j
To give a simple explanation of
how students may obtain these j
loans, the following examples are
cited:
Student A. Student A is a jun
ior in Arts and Sciences oollege
and is a veteran going to college
under the GI bill. He needs $50
to pay for living expenses until
his first government check comes
in. To get his loan he goes to the
University Services Office, Room
201 of the Administration build
ing, fills out an application, and
if found to be fully qualified he
can get his loan that same day.
His loan does not need a cosigner
and if he repays the loan within
30 days there will be no interest
charge.
Student B. Student B needs $125
for room and board, which he will
repay in monthly installments aft
er be gets a job. B is a scpho
ore in Business Administration
and also has an upperclass re
gents scholarship. He too will go
to the University Services Office
and will fill out an application, but
he will need a cosigner on his
loan. This cosigner may be any
one other than another student
or member of the faculty. In B's
case it is his father. With the
cosigner's signature, he may
have his loan that same day that
he applied for it. The interest rates
are tne same ana ne win nave
until the following Sept. 1 to re
pay the loan.
Student C. Student C. needs
$500 dollars for his tuition, room
and board and miscellaneous ex
penses. He is a senior in Engi
neering and has a high scholastic
standing in his class. Since the
sum he requries is larger, in ad
dition to filing application for his
loan, Student C. will have to make
an appointment to go before the
Student Loan Committee for ap
proval. The Loan Committee,

There will be a meeting of
all Kosmet Klub workers in

which meets at least once each
week, will then consider his needs j
and disapprove or approve his!
loan. Immediately after he re-!
ceives their approval and gets I
his cosigner he will receive his
loan. The cosigner is normally
the benificiary of his insurance
policy. As a senior, Student C
will repay his loan in monthly in
stalments, with interest at a per
cent per annum.
Fund Expansion
The number of loans and the
amount of money available for stu
dents to draw upon has grown
steadily in the ten years since the
program was started. The total
amount now available is $246,000,
approximately $120,000 of which
was loaned out last year.
The fund grows at the rate of
$5,000 per year. This is due mostly
i wrougn me interest coiiectea, au
jf which reverts back into the
fund. This growth is possible,
through the University program
which provides all expenses for the !
administration and collection of!
;loans; expenses taken out
of the ,-an funds.
There are no maximum and,,,,,. a Stanford Universitv.
minimum amounts that a student
may borrow, but the money must
be used for actual expenses of get
ting a college education and the
applicant must show the ability to
pay the loan back.
Loan Committee
General Policies
The Student Loans in all case3
must meet the approval of the Uni
versity Student Loan Committee,,
or in the case of small loans, the
approval of the Chairman of that
Committee. The general policies of
the Committee are summarized as
follows:
1. Applicant must have a cumu
lative average of 4.0 or higher for
all hours earned at the Univer
sity. 1. Applicant must be a regular
ly registered student in the Uni
versity for not less than 12 hours
for an undergraduate and not less
than 9 hours for a graduate stu
dent. 2. Applicant must have a cumu
lative average of 4.0 or higher
for all hours earned at the Uni
versity. 3. The amount loaned to any
one student shall be determined
by the Committee, But shall not
be greater than the applicant's
immediate needs to complete the
current semester or school year.
4. Loans are expected to be re
paid on or before Sept. 1st follow
ing the date the loan is made, ex
cept in the case of graduating
seniors.
5. Loans shall not be made for
the purpose of making capital in
vestments and for needs after
graduation or after leaving schook
6. Cosigners usually are required
for all loans. It is recommended
that a cosigner be a parent or
relative, and preferably one who
is beneficiary of the borrowers
life insurance. Chattel mortgages
are not accepted as security. 1
7. Preference will be given to
those who have been In atten
dance at the University for at
least one academic year. Loans
are not available to entering
students.
B. Interest is at the rate of
2 percent per annum while at
tending the University, 4 percent
per .annum if not in attendance,
and 6 percent per annum after
maturity. Interest is payable semi
annually Jan. 1st and July 1st.
The foregoing are but general
policies, no hardfast rules ire set
for loans and many exceptions are
made to fit the individual student's
needs.

Flu Troubles
The flu situation on the Uni
versity campus remains relative
ly unchanged, according to Dr.
S a m m j e 1 Fuenning, University
Health Services director.
"The situation is the same.
There is no general widespread
outbreak," Fuenning said.
About the same percentage of
cases are coming through Student
Health as in the first few days
of the flu scare. Fuenning report
ed that none of the new cases
had any of the clinical symptoms
of the Asian brand of flu.
"There are one or two places
experiencing a little more than
normal incidence of flu cases. We
are checking on tlnse daily but
they are not outbreaks of Asian
flu but just generalized cases of
flu, Fuenning said.
One of the places hit by the
flu bug was the Phi Kappa Psi
fraternity house where "six or
seven" men were stricken. Selleck
Quadrangle also reported about
the same number of cases, Fuen
ning said.
"This (the number of Quad men
stricken) is comparitively light be
cause "we are dealing with a much
larger number of men," Fuenning
said.
Elsewhere around the nation
colleges and high schools weren't
so fortunate. Washington and Jef
ferson College in Pennsylvania
closed Monday because of .Tu. The
re.nm tvevnt tairi the shutdown
was ordered as a precaution after
25 per cent of the students were
stricken. j
