On the UNL campuses the breakdown was: 1,404 Democrats, 604 Republicans, 254 Independents and 2,142 absentees, Beecher said. Those 4,403 students plus the approximately 7,000 who had already registered and the additional. 2,000 to 3,000 who want to wait and register at home, Beecher said, "represent well over 50 per cent of the University students." Wesleyan students registered 111 Democrat, 68 Republican, 14 Independent and 281 absentee for a total of 475, Beecher said. He explained a poll done on Wesleyan before the drive showed 24 of the students had already registered. Tue 47 per cent who registerd last week means 7 1 per cent of the 11,007 students there are now registered voters, he added. Exact figures were not available for Union Collge but Beecher said the small campus (about 3,000 enrolled students) probably would not add too much to Lincoln's total. "I was really happy with the results," Beecher said. "I hope other drives go as well." The University student said the League hopes to "assist in AND NOW, THE REALTHING! ROBERT STIGWOOD & MCA.

Investment Council gives $1 million education loons Nebraska Investment Council (NIC) authorization of $1 million in federally-insured educational loans is expected to provide financial assistance for approximately 700 college students across the state, according to John Ritchie, assistant director of Scholarships and Financial Aids. Commenting after the Board of Regents Friday established the financial aids office as administrator for the new funds, Ritchie said that most loans will not exceed $1500 and predicted the new money will be used up quickly. The 1971 Legislature provided for the NIC to release money for student loans via LB. 152. Ritchie said the $1 million will be broken down over the next few weeks, allotting so much to the type of institution-vocational, private or public. Students will apply, through their respective colleges for a loan from local banks. If the bank agrees to provide the money, and the loan application is approved by financial aids office, the lending institution grants the loan and is then reimbursed from the $1 million, Ritchie said. He expects the program to be operational by second semester. "ill 1 NOW . . . THE PANT have 3000 of LEVI'S FOR YOU! $8 WAIST SIZES 28 - 30 INSEAMS, 29-36 pits ml PRS.
