The Astronauts, Eugene Cernan, Ronald Evans and Harrison Schmitt, are guests of the Inter Fraternity Council, governing body for UNL's 20 social fraternities, and the Panhellenic Association, coordinating unit of the 16 social sororities. The Apollo 17 crew conducted the sixth manned lunar landing in December 1972. Cernan was flight commander, Evans was comman module pilot and Schmitt, the only civilian to travel to the moon, was the lunar module pilot and conducted moon explorations with Cernan.

It was the first Apollo module launched. yiai J wrpi A ASUN to begin study of libraries Three consultants will be at UNL Monday studying the libraries system, according to ASUN President Bruce Beecher. The consultants, hired by ASUN to conduct a cost analysis, will be paid through a $2,400 ASUN appropriation from student fee money. The consultant team includes Leon Woodfield, a certified public accountant and chairman of the accounting department at Brigham Young University (BYU); Dale Wriant and Sterling Albrecht, associate director of the BYU libraries. The team was asked to study book processing procedures, book acquisition, loan and fine policies, services to undergraduate students and space usage in Love Library and its new addition. A report on the study will be completed in early March, Beecher said. Uncertainty clouds future of UNL financial aid More than 5,500 UNL students could be directly affected next fall by proposed changes in federal financial aid programs. Jack Ritchie, acting director of Scholarships and Financial Aids, said: "There are many uncertainties at present regarding financial aid for next year." While the lack of financial aid could affect many UNL students, it also could affect students attending any post-high school Nebraska institutions which participates in federal financial aid programs. . 'The concern regarding the changes stems from the fact that financial aid is allocated during the spring and summer months for the following year," Ritchie said. Deadlines for application for financial aid is today for incoming freshmen and March 1 for upperclassmen. Although many questions remain to be answered, Ritchie urged that all students who will need aid next year to submit application. Currently two federal financial assistance programs are scheduled to end the National Direct Student Loans (NDSL) and the Educational Opportunity Grants (EOG). During the current academic year, the University received $1.2 million for direct (NDSL) loans and $699,000 for the EOG program. More than 1,800 students received loans through the institution in the NDSL program and 720 students received support from EOG. Both programs are administered on the basis of the individual's financial need, Ritchie said. At present, the UNL work-study program will continue next year at about the current allocation of $781,000. Eight hundred students now are employed under this program. Federal funds account for 80 per cent of the program while the remaining 20 per cent comes from University funds. The federally insured student loan program is scheduled to continue next year with numerous major changes, Ritchie said. Under this proqram, the federal government insures a loan which is approved by a university and is made with a local bank. More than 4,500 UNL students now have loans under this program, he said. The federal government has suggested that federally insured loans with local banks be expanded to take the place of the NDSL' Another federal proposal calls for the new Basic Opportunity Grants Program to take the place of EOG, Ritchie said. However, guidelines and appropriations for the grants have not been established, he said.
