Student Loans Said Not Endangered
By Presidential Veto of HEW Bill
By GAY GOODMAN
Staff Writer
University students will not
be denied money on their stu
dent loans despite last week s
veto of the Health. Education
and Welfare budget bill by
President Nixon, according to
Ken Phillips. Iinannal aid coor
dinator here
Anticipating increased tunds
from the vetoed bill, some offi
cials at other colleges had over
committed themselves on stu
dent loans according to press
reports
"ANY STUDENT here to
whom commitment has been
made can be assured it will be
honored Phillips said How
ever. a number of students who
have applied for loans will not
receive them or will receive
lesser amounts that they de
sired. he said
The HEW bill included $229
million for direct student loans
Nixon vetoed it because he
said he considered the bill "in
flationary
The House vote failed by 52
votes to override the Presi
dent's veto
Directly affected is the gov
ernment 1 s direct loan nrogram.
which gives federal funds to
universities that make loans to
deserving students
RESTRICTIONS imposed on
the loans by HEW place addi
tional hardships on students
with families in the middle-in
come bracket and graduate
studenLs. Phillips said
He explained that first prior
ity is given to the renewal of old
loans and second priority is
given to undergraduate stu
dents from low-income fami
lies Loans to students with a
family income above $10,000
are prohibited
BETWEEN STUDENTS. FACULTY
Business, Ag Hill Councils
Establish Communication
By CAROL ROBERTS
Staff Writer
Student's and faculty mem
ber are always seeking ways
to open lines ot communication
between them Two organiza
tions which have been estab
lished for this purpose are the
Ag Hill Council and the Stu
dent Council of the College ot
Business Administration
The purpose of the Business
Student Council is to promote
greater understanding and
communication . mong the stu
dents, facult;- an- administra
tion of the CoHeee of Business
Administration, according to
Council chairman Mike Wright
The council realizes that all
business students will not be
reached by all our projects hot
we hope *ha' each action will v»
beneficial to at least some of
the students, he >ud
THE COI'M’IL was estab
lished last winter quarter as a
result of an idea of Dean Wil
liam C. Flewellen .Jr who
came to the University last
year from Mississippi State
University. Dean Flewellen is
presently serving as faculty
advisor to the council
In spite of its youth, the
council has completed several
projects and is considering
many more. As one of its major
projects, the council with the
approval of the dean, has
placed voting student members
on all committees of the col
lege
As a result of another pro
ject. the dean and his staff have
visited business classes to dis
cuss the college, the faculty,
and the problems which face
the business student \n evalu
ation of the college and courses
has also been set up
The council has attemped to
slant the emphasis toward
teaching according to Wright
This has been done by including
a stipulation concerning good
teaching in suggested promo
tion criteria for faculty mem
bers
Another goal which has been
attained is improved student
counseling
AS FOR FUTURE projects,
the council is considering a
pass-fail system in non major
courses and is seeking ways to
ge» more black students and
teacher* interested and in
volved in the business school
Membership in the council
consists of the Student Senate
delegation of the College of
Business Administration, the
presidents of all recognized
organizations ol the college,
and four memhers-at-Iarge
chosen by the dean Council
membership always includes at
least four graduate students.
I feel the council is serving
its purpose as a voice for the
business students, comment
ed Wright The students need
to have a way to influence the
administration, and the council
answers that need.
THE AG HILL Council
strives to promote harmony
among the various clubs on the
Ag campus." according to Kyle
Bra nan. president of the coun
cil. which is composed of two
representatives from each of
the 22 clubs on south campus
The council also tries to
represent the clubs in a unified
effort to promote good rela
tions among the teaching staff :
and the University officials,
and with other organizations in
Rrana r said. 1
"Finally, the Council acts as
a voice for the students of Agri
culture. Home Economics.
Forest Resources and Veteri
nary Medicine in promoting the
general welfare of the schools
and the specific welfare of the
student bodv
Acceding to the council's
advisor Dr Richrrd Moles,
associate professor of poultry
science, the council was origi
nally established in 1940 be
cause thr students on Ag Hill
recognized that they had very
little representation in student
govemmp , *‘
Its purpose was then, and
primarily still is to serve as an
organized bodv representing
the student and promoting their
interests, said Dr Moles.
The Ag Hill Council also has
sponsored many projects
through the years In coopera
tion with Agricultural Careers
Day. the council sponsors Agri-
Fairway. in which the clubs set
up activities booths for *he
benefit of visiting high school
students.

Statutes...
(Continued from page 1)
IN ANOTHER interview.
Dr. George Parthemos. vice
president for instruction, ex
pressed opinions similar to
Pannell's. Most important
about the statutes committee’s
proposal is that "it opens an
official channel of communica
tion." Parthemos said
He is chairman of the statutes
committee He said last-minute
polishing up of the statutes
should be finished in time to
present them to the University
Council for consideration this
quarter
It is anticipated that student
membership on standing com
mittees of the University Senate
— for which the SGA has cam
paigned consistently this year
and last — will be provided for
in Senate by-laws adopted after
the statutes take effect. Par

PAYNE HALL RESIDENTS KEEF FOUR TELEPHONE EXTENSIONS ALMOST CONSISTENTLY BUSY AT NIGHT
TK»* and Sevan Other Dorms — the Last without Private Phones — May Get Them by Next Fall
PREDICTED FOR FALL
Private Phones Coming
By ROBBI BLANTON
Staff Writer
"For whom doth the bell
toll?" is another way of asking.
Who is the telephone call for 9 "
in manv residence halls here
which are not equipped with
room telephones
For the students who live in
Church. Hill. Soule. Ruther
ford. Clark Howell. Morris.
Payne and Tucker halls, the
nights can be long and lonely
while waiting for calls that
never come through because of
tied-up telephone lines
And funds can grow smaller
and smaller as residents use
dime after dime in calling off-
campus numbers, since the
house telephones avalable can
not reach numbers other than
campus listings
HOWEVER, a change will
occur when conversion of the
dorm telephone system is com
pleted in fall. 1970. according to
Thomas E. Strickland of Ath
ens. district manager of South
ern Bell.
At this time all dorms will be
equipped with room phones,
which will eliminate the prob
lem of off-campus dialing
Strickland explained that
there is no way the house tele
phones can be converted to
include off-campus dialing with
out also permitting direct-dist
ance dialing

So if the house phones were
adjusted to allow off campus
calls, he said, the telephone
cixnpany would not be able to
prevent long-distance calls
from being dialed on them. As a
result, the company whould
lose many dollars from unau
thorized long-distamv calls. Ik*
said
PRIVATE ROOM telephones,
however, make off-campus lines
available at the dialing of
the numeral "9 Ding
distance can be dialixl direct,
but calls are billed to the stu
dents from whose rooms they
are made
The process >f installing pri
vate telephones takes long-
range planning. Strickland said,
because cable lines must be
built to accommodate tin* addi
tional numbers. Also, the re-
modcing of dorms is a factor in
determining when room phones
can be installed
Prior to 1986. each residence
hall was served only by pay sta
tions located in it. But in 1966.
the year after the University
went on the (Centrex phone sys
tem. 280 telephones were in
stanc'd in dorms, beginning the
transformation of phor$t sys
tems
Within throe years. 2500 tele
phones were put in.
Off-campus resident stu
dents who want private phones
create a frenzy at the phone'
company each fall before Uni
versity registration, the man
ager related
IN A THREE WEEK period
last fall, he said. 2500 phones
were installed, with telephone
employes working 24 hours a
day. seven days a week, until
the* job wa.N completed
The* problem of a large* num
ber of unpaid bills by a I’niver-
sitv student has never got to a
point requiring legal prosecu
tion by tlie telephone* company.
Strickland said
If the situation should arise
where a student would not or
could not pay his bill. the*n tele
phone* authorities would try to
work out arrangements with
hun If the problem persisted,
they, along with the University
housing department would
move the student to a room
without a phone*
Thus, die* rights of his paying
roommate would not be* forfeit
ed by removal of the* telephone
Hut this plan would he a last
resort only, and it has never
bc*e*n used. Strickland empha
sized.
