t Loans
dent loan would be cancelled for
five years of full-time teaching
in a public elementary or second
ary school, at the rate of 10 per
cent for each year of such service.
Dean Penney emphasized that at
the University the award of loans
will be based on the demonstration
of two requirements - academic
proficiency and need for the loan.
The federal government's initial
allocation of $6 million is expected
to be reinforced by a supplemental
appropriation of $24 million for the
remainder of the fiscal year.
However, it is expected that most
loans will be under $1,000, thus
providing more students with
financial aid.
Telephone
Destruction
Prohibited
"Destruction of telephones in the
dormitories will not be tolerated,"
Blackie Kincaid, director of hous
ing, has announced.
"We have had several telephones
torn out of the dormitories over
the past Fall semester.
"We can not and will not tolerate
this vandalism. These telephones
will not be replaced in any of these
buildings until we can find the
individuals who are responsible for
ripping these phones out
"We do feel that every student
should have access to a telephone,
both campus and outside.
"We spent many hours with the
telephone company over the past
two years to convince them to put
pay phones in each tenement where
the students can have outside serv
ice easily accessible. Where these
phones are ripped maliceously from
the wall or receivers torn loose,
they will not be replaced.
"The administration does feel,
however, that there are enough
students living in the dormitories
who appreciate the telephone serv
ice enough to stop or report the
ones who are destroying this prop
erty," Kincaid said.
