Recent chants in student loan laws will
result in more admini.st.rat.ive work, hut the
impact on students should be minimal, ac
cording to a University of Nebraska-1 xncoln
official.
Don Aripoli, director of Scholarships and
Financial Aids, said a June .10 Supreme
Court decision means that, at least tempo
rarily, students applying for federal aid will
be required to sign a statement disclosing
t heir draft regist ration stat us.
The Supreme Court decision, he said,
plus a law requiring some students and par
ents to submit, copies of 19K2 income tax
forms when applying for federally guaran

Clubs benefit
from rec $s
IiV DAVID THOUBA
The recreation department at the Uni
versity of Nebraska-Lincoln is making some
changes in their budget program which will
benefit students rather than make them pay
more money.
Beginning July 1, the recreation depart
ment will begin budgeting $5,000 to univer
sity club sports.
Stan Campbell, director of campus recre
ation activities, said he feels the vital pur
pose of campus athletic clubs is meeting the
recreational needs of UN-L students and
through the allocation of recreation depart
ment money, help those teams continue to
function.
"A club sports council was formed this
year and will serve as the governing body
for those teams who chose to join," Camp
bell said.
Kight clubs have joined the council.
Kach club has one representative who
will attend council meetings and give a de
tailed account of the needs of his particular
club's operating budget for the current
school year and for the following school
year, he said.
The council will determine how the
budget will be split between each team,
Campbell said.
"The money we allocate for each group
will be divided as fairly as possible and ac
cording to the needs of each individual
team."
Starting July 1, the $5,000 will come from
the recreation department's budget of
"about $235,000," with eight club teams re
ceiving the following shares:
- Crew $875
- Power Lifting Club $875
- Soccer $875
- Rugby $850
- Rifle Club $620
- Water Polo $375
- Table Tennis $280
- Boxing Club $250
Some teams are getting a bigger share
than others, Campbell said, because travell
ing costs constitute the majority of each
teams budget.
".Teams that do more travelling and have
larger memberships need larger budgets,"
he said.
Kven then, the money allocated to each
team probably won't be enough to cover all
expenses incurred during the year, he
added.
Teams make up the difference by charg
ing membership dues, having fund raisers,
and using money out of their own pockets,
Campbell said.
"But, hopefully with the money we are
now giving them, it. will lighten the load they
have to carry."
Campbell said he is also hopeful that the
funding for the teams will attract more UN
L students who couldn't afford to join the
clubs previously.
"There is a potential for an increased
membership of existing clubs and a poten
tial for new clubs also," Campbell said.
Currently a bowling team wants to join
and a women's field hockey team might also
want to join.
The Rodeo, Snow Ski and Water Ski
Clubs, which are University sponsored clubs
didn't join the sports council Campbell said,
but these teams may join in the future.
Cutbacks in the University budget by the
legislature shouldn't affect the recreation
department, according to Campbell.
"Our budget isn't that large to begin with,
so I am hopeful that we will be able to ex
pand our budget in the future to accomodate
more teams who want to join the sports
council," Campbell said.
said, however, office staff will aUempi lo
minimize inconveniences to .students.
"We're here to help .students." Aripoli
said. "Our concern is that we follow all the
laws and inconvenience the students as little
as possible.
"These changes are our adminisl.rative
problems and we will deal with them," he
said. "We hope the students can understand
why we're asking for these additional
forms."
Although exempt from draft registration,
women will be required to sign the disclo
sure statement to receive federal aid,
Aripoli said. There is a place on the form for
women to indicate their exempt status, he
said.
U.S. District Judge Donald Alsop, Minne
sota, stuck down the disclosure law June 17,
but the Supreme Court said the government
may enforce the requirement until the jus
tices consider a formal appeal. That review
could come this fall but may take as long as
a year.
The present status of the law, however,
has no effect on how it will be enforced at
UN-L, Aripoli said.
"The worse that will happen is that in the
fall, the ruling will be reversed," he said.
"But we can't ignore the law until then.
"The regulation is in place for now and
we will comply with it," he said.
Nebraska has a high compliance rate
with the draft registration law, Aripoli said,
so the effect of the ruling will be less at UN-1-
that at manv other schools.
In addition to overseeing implementation
of new regulat ions this summer, Aripoli has
been preparing for the possibility of a new
interest rale on guaranteed st udent loans.
The rate, currently at 9 percent, is tied lo
treasury bill rales. Since rates has been at
or below 9 percent for more than a year, the
law calls for loan rates to drop to 8 percent
Sept. 12.
Aripoli said there was talk in Congress of
keeping the rate at 9 percent. Support for
such a bill seems to have died out, he said,
and the rate apparently will drop as sched
uled. The 8 percent rate will involve few UN-L
sludenls, he said. The new rate applies only
to first -time borrowers during periods of in
struction which begin after Sept. 12. At UN-
L, he said, only first-time borrowers, begin
ning with the spring 1984 semefer, will get
the lower rate.
A 1 -percent change means only a small
difference in the amount paid for interest,
Aripoli said, and should not play a role in a
student's decision whether or not to apply
for a loan.
"There just are a certain number of stu
dents who need help to get through school,"
he said. "I would think they would apply for
that help regardless of whether the rate is 8
or 9 percent."
Aripoli said about 9,000 students applied
for guaranteed loans last year. Me said he
exjH'cts about the same number of appli
cants this year.
Ads for pain relievers declared to be misleading
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Federal
Trade Commission ruled Wednesday that
advertising claims for some 6i the best
known over-the-counter pain relievers were
misleading and ordered the drug makers to
drop claims of superiority unless they have
proof.
The decision affects Bufferin, Kxcedrin,
Bayer Aspirin, Cope, Vanquish and Midol
products.
The ruling came in a pair of commission
decisions affecting Bristol Myers Co. and
Sterling Drug Inc.
Such claims as Kxcedrin being better
than aspirin and Bayer being superior to
other brands of aspirin have not been ade
quately substantiated and must be dropped
unless clinical proof is provided, the FTC
ruled.
And future advertising in which other
pain relievers are compared to plain aspirin
must disclose if the advertised product con
tains aspirin, the commission added.
However, the FTC did not order the com
panies to run corrective advertising to clear
up any false impressions left by past ad
campaigns.
