Carol Williams outlines
terms of new loan policy
Carol Williams, director of
financial aid, and Sue Wallace,
associate director of financial aid,
detailed the new short-term loan
policy at Monday's forum spon
sored by the fiscal affairs convnine
of the Student Government
Association.
Williams praised the fiscal affairs
committee for helping develop the
new policy: "Your SGA represen
tatives have represented you well.
I commend them on the work they
have done."
The fiscal affairs committee peti
tioned the financial aid office to
formulate a new policy after the
prom note policy was discontinued.
Williams also stressed that i
Debate
T
financial aid office is willing to
work with • students. She said
students noed to come by the officer
“We can discuss your individual
situation. You can plan ahead. We
can help you seek payment ar
rangements."
Wallace also stressed that in
dividual situations will be handled
one at a time: "You can come see
a counselor who will help you with
payment plans. We will all be
working with you very closely."
Williams emphasized again the
importance of preparing early:
"Make sure yoj understand this
new policy and prepare yourself
ahead of time."

Ogden, said that it's important to
look at a candidate's past and pre
sent record of work in order to
determine effectiveness. When
asked by student Donna Itzoe toad-
dress what she termed his “sparse”
attendance at SGA meetings, he
said that he'd missed few meetings.
Racism was an issue at the debate
as Shawn Lanier was asked if his
membership in Kappa Alpha order
would affect his ability to represent
minority views. Lanier said that he
felt students should not judge him
on the basis odd of his affiliation
with KA: "I am not a racist and it
bothers me to even think that peo
ple think that I'm a racist. I know
the difference between right and
wrong, and I would work to make
sure that all minorities are
represented."
Renovation of facilities was a
major focus of the debate, and
Charlie Smith, the Light campaign
manager, said that building new
facilities is a bad idea: "Why«
more emphasis being put on new
buildings rather than the students?
The facilities of the Cotleg* of
Liberal Arts are bad. yet a palace
• was built for the engineering
school. I think it's a bad idea to set
our priorities th it way," she said.
Ogden said that buildings need to
be upgraded, but that the university
should act in the best interest 01
students and faculty. Lanier said
that it's important to have facilities
comparable with those of other
universities.
On the issue of accountability of
the Senate. Lanier commented that
there is a need to beg in-enforcing
SGA policies and removing those
members who are ineffective. Gar
cia said that while SGA is an effec
tive organization, it has no enforce
ment power.'
In regards to issues of political
awareness. AIDS, and social pro
blems, Smith commented that
many students do not have an idea
of what’s going on in the world, but
stressed that being aware is the stu
dent’s responsibility. Ogden said
that students should bring their con
cerns to the Senate, and Lanier
added that the SGA as student
representatives should emphasize
"education, informing, and com
munication."
‘We Were So Beloved"
Manny Kifchheimer
to discuss film
On Tuesday there will be a
screening of the film “We Were So
Beloved’' at 7:30 p.m. in the
Medical School Auditorium. The
event is co-sponsored by the Insight
Lecture Committee and Senior
Capstone, in connection with a
Senior Capstone Seminar on the
Holocaust. After the screening,
Manny Kirchheimer, who pro
duced and directed the film, will
lead a discussion of the work.
"We Were So Beloved*’ is a
documentary film about Jews who
left Germany in the 1930s and
made their way to America. It has
been called "a no less harrowing
examination of conscience than
‘Sboah’ and Marcel Ophuls's ‘Sor
row and the Pity,* ” by Vincent
Canby of The Ne^York Tunes.
Kirchheimer is also currently a
faculty member at the School of*
Visual Arts in New York City. The
screening is free of charge and
open to the public. All are invited
to attend.
About "We Were So Beloved,"
the Sl Louis Post-Dispatch pro
claims "Fascinating, awe-inspir
ing." William Wolf of Garinea
News Service says it is "Important
and illuminating. A complex
tapestry of human attitudes and
emotions.'*
Carol Williams explains the short-term loan policy to students.
Number of available class periods
will, increase under 3/2 schedule
A memorandum from the
registrar's office outlines changes
in course scheduling for next foil.
The memo says that classes will
be listed in alphabetical order by
department and in ascending order
within the deportment. Course titles
and beginning and ending times
will al:o be included in the
schedule.
The memo provides that the
number of class periods available
will increase due to the 3/2
schedule: "This will give students
a broader and more flexible
schedule and will make building a
class schedule less cumbersome. It'
also precludes the need to list
classes by time periods," says the
memo.
A trial work sheet with the 3/2
schedule will be included to assist
students in planning their classes
and to avoid as much conflict as
possible*. The final exam schedule
will be included and should be
used in an effort to avoid schedul
ing classes so that all finals are on
the same day, says the memo.
Priority registration begins ihe
week of May 2, and registration
will be continuous through the
summer. More information is
available from the registrar's
office.
