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 yeaw. 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. e H*o Society; Frances Baskin spon sored by Canterbury Club; Sandra Callahan sponsored by Lambda Chi Alpha.
