But as more schools went to direct lending, Beacon said, banks and financial institutions would lose money from student loans. That prospect has led to massive lobby ing for the reforms by banking in stitutions, he said. “The moment it is not profitable for a banker to be in direct loans, he’s going to get out of it,” he said. “I’m not going to get out of it, because I have no profit motive.” A plan proposed by House Speaker Newt Gingrich would al low any school to continue with the program, but would ask them to collect on loans and be partially responsible for loan defaults. “That is not attractive,” Beacon said. “We don’t want to be in the collection business, nor are we funded well-enough to do it. We just don’t have the manpower.” Beacon said that rather than nearly eliminate direct lending in its early stages, Congress should create a level playing field, allow ing any school to participate for five years, and then evaluate its success. “The bottom line to me is give this program a chance to prove it self. Let’s test this thing. I’m will ing to test it. If it doesn’t work, I’ll be the first to say it doesn’t work.” Staff reporter Catherine Blalockcon tributed to this report.

David Landis of Lincoln, who opposed the amendment, raised ques tions of malpractice responsibility and medical training to the floor — men tioning the higher malpractice stan dards for doctors. “Patients are better off when there is a doctor held responsible,” he said. “Doctors have more training in diag nosing— more than anyone else.” If the amendment had passed, it would have put Nebraska’s nurse prac titioner laws in line with states such as Illinois, Kansas, Colorado and Cali fornia. Before the debate, about 15 nurse practitioners and nurse practitioner students gathered anxiously outside the chamber to talk to senators about the amendment. “It comes down to a matter of con trol,” said Carol Hinkle of Lincoln. “And dollar signs. It’s somewhat of a feminist issue.” gsl SMOKING DOGS' op We weDMESPiAY ISLANDS "THAT" AND GM& up qkj smaller po&s ACTUftLXY GOOD DOGS —-TVEV Just grew up in a BRD ENVIRONMENT/ «/r MOST AMAZING OF ALL..

Jerome Warner of Waverly is hoping two votes become the charm in making changes to the state constitution in the future. Warner introduced LR194CA, which would require two votes to amend the state constitution. He said Monday he hoped the extra vote would keep voters from making hasty decisions. “It will give them a better understanding of what the amendment says,” he said. “It will help the public understand what the amendment might re ally do.” • Senators withdrew LB1107, a duplicate bill that would provide payments in lieu of taxes for housing authority created under Indian law. Sen. John Lindsay of Omaha filed the motion, saying the bill read exactly the same as LB 1082. Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha drew some good-hearted chuckles from senators in say ing he felt the real reason Sen. Lindsay wanted the bill with drawn was because it happened to be the same number as Cham bers’ office — 1107. — Ted Taylor ROADWAY PACKAGE SYSTEM Immediate Openings for Part-time Jobs Package Handlers SHIFTS AVAILABLE 530am-830ani@$&SVhr 5:30pm-8:30pm@$6.00/hr Earn $6.00 to $6.50 an - hour while keeping fit by loading and unloading trailers.
