Loans
Continued from Page 1
Beacon said students got better
service with direct lending and that
turnaround time in receiving checks
was faster.
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.

“The greater flexibility we give
them, the more opportunity they have
to serve in rural communities,” he said.
“I think ultimately the amendment
would have allowed the nurses to prac
tice in rural areas with no problems.
“We fought the battle and we lost.”
But Wesely did say there could be
future amendments similar to the one
defeated Tuesday.
“I think in the future you’ll see
greater flexibility by nurse practitio
ners.”
Sen. 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.”

Legislature
Notes
Tuesday
• Sen. 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.
