Deadlock stalls
emergency loans
for students
A Congressional deadlock sills preventing enactment of the
"smertoncy" insured student
loan bill. Too bill would five
lenders an allowance of up to
3 per cent above tbe lntereet
rate of 7 per cent that la allowed
on the Insured loans.
The bill was drawn up whan tha
prime Interest rats rose to 8 1/2
par cent this year. It was feared
banks would aot moke loans to
studentg because thsy would lose
i-onsy oo the 7 per cent insured
Interest limit.
Ths Contreaalonal snag in a
Senate-House conference committee has been over whether a
lender could require a borrower
to do business wtth Mo lending
atancy ln order to receive a loon.

the goals are loot range and will

However, the Immediate problem la sprint registration becauae the registration committee
ia now ln the process of planning
tt. Soma change* will ba mode by
spring registration, accordlnt to
Mloa Spurgoon.
Tbo ad hoc committee is mads
op of nine students. They will
gather what thsy consider to be
the moot important problema of
registration aad submit them to
the regiatratlon commlttoo for
reactions snd proposals.
Eventually ail the reports will
ba pot ln a book and submitted
to the achool. However, theee
long range plana and reaaltlag
changes will taks Urns, cautions
Mlaa Spurgoon.
The achool regiatratlon committee, which la mada up of
faculty, administrators and three
atudenta and is an advisory committee to the academic vice-
president, was favorable to toe
ad hoc committee's preliminary
report. Plane mentioned ln this
report will bo mode ptodlc soon.
Once the new committee ls

Miss Spurgoon.
If approved, the dot.BB.ant wUl
