monday, december 1, 1975 Few Viet vets request loans A performance audit of Nebraska's Vietnam Veterans' Education Loan Act of 1973 shows that only one-tenth of one per cent of eligible Vietnam veterans requested loans during the first fiscal year of operation, 1974-75. It also showed 77 cents in administrative costs were in curred for every dollar loaned. The first year's appropriation was $150,000 and $82,000 was budgeted for fiscal 1975-76, plus $19,000 in admin istrative costs. The audit also showed that since August, ten loans have been made totaling $1,150 at an administrative cost of $2,600. State Veterans Affairs Director Robert Brandt told the Legislature's Government, Military and Veterans' Affairs Committee at a hearing last week that the small number of loans made administrative costs disproportionately high. Many veterans use federal Veterans Administration loans for education and may not be aware of the state loan pro gram, he said. Robert Manifold, member of the State Veterans Advisory Commission, told the committee that the Veterans Administration has 191 education loans compared to the state's 105, but the VA has a "huge" staff and infor mation officers on all college campuses. He said there has been difficulty making veterans aware of the state program's availability. Chuck Patteson, systems analyst in the state auditor's office, said the performance audit was the first done on a specific legislative bill and as a result, administration of the program has improved. Gay Action Group interested, involved Lincoln's gay community is interested in more than their own liberation, according to Dave, a member of the Univer sity of Nebraska-Lincoln's Gay Action Group. "The structure of the Gay Action Group allows for involvement as interest in new issues, projects or concerns come into focus," Dave said, "but the continuing involve ment mat's found in New York or Los Angeles isn't found in Lincoln." Dcvre said the Lincoln Gay Action Group and the UN-L Gay Action Group are basically the same organization. Gay action group activities include Sunday night coffeehouses at Commonplace, 333 N. 14 St., gay rap groups at Commonplace and the Gay Rap Line. The rap line is an all night telephone line, is one of the major functions of the group and is funded yearly with $500 from the University for its operation. Profits from next Sunday's Anniversary Coffeehouse will go to the defense fund of Sgt. Leonard Matlovitch, who was discharged from the military because he is a homosexual, said Dave. Dave said the group is supporting Matlovitch and has run articles in local newspapers, received affidavits from gay service people and is donating profits to his cause. The Gay Action Group also operates a resource center in Commonplace. It was started with a $100 donation from a member of the gay community when the group could not get money from the fees allocations board, Dave said. It is now funded by a $50 a month donation from Gay Action Group, he said. He said it is the only resource center of its kind in Nebraska and has books, pamphlets and newspapers that can be checked out to anyone. daily nbrsskan page 7 r tz r vJJLiLiw'ii sj) . imi r mmrwtmmmmmum mmtmmmmiwmmmm innum m , n i ttmimm-ummm lmmmmMmntwmwmimmmm sum nm iWilMlillllMllwiirfiwilwnmiilt' ffngWWffli f V i r': -.x j I 1 Great Panasonic RE-7014 AMFM Stereo-Automatic Changer All you need for real stereo enjoyment.
