Governor approves student loail program j· By Lou Chapman

Students at post-secondary schools in Colorado will probably have the state for a co-signer next spring semester.

The Colorado Student Loan Guarantee Program, part of Senate Bill 52', was signed into law June 21 by Gover­nor Richard Lamm.

- The bill provides educational loans - repayable at seven percent interest -not based on the financial need of the student (anyone with an acceptable credit rating by the lender is eligible), and are guaranteed by the state. The loans are meant to take the burden off the middle-

. income student who may not be eligible for loans under the Federally Insured Student Loan Program, said Lindsay Baldner, Director of Student Services for the Colorado CoJIPilission on H_igher Education (CCHE).

"We need to find different mechanisms to help those middle-income families," said Baldner.

The state program will provide bet­ween $10-20 million in loan backup. Through the federal program, students in Colorado now receive about $14 million in loans, all of which is based on financial need that is "pretty strictly defined," said Baldner.

To apply for a state-guaranteed loan, a student will obtain the necessary application forms from either his college's financial aid office or bank, ap­ply for the loan from the bank, ~e bank

will send the paperwork to a bureau that will be created for this program only, and

- the state will guarantee the loan 100 per­cent.

The whole process, Baldner said, should take only two to three weeks. Forms should be available in December.

Baldner explained the amount of the state-guaranteed loan · plus any need­based financial aid cannot exceed the cost of education. She said the CCHE will probably use guidelines similar to the American College Testing (ACT) Student Service Assistance Program, currently in use at MSC.

The interest on the loans will be a basic seven percent of the face value, the same as the current federally insured program, plus an additional "special allowance" of one to five percent. The student will be responsible only for the face value plus the seven pereent interest. Payments begin one year-· after - tlie student discontinues his education. The federal government will pick up the tab on the special allowance, according to Baldner. ·

In turn, the state will be insured by the federal government for reimbur­sement of state funds spent on the loans.

"As long as we do a reasonable job of managing the funds," Baldner said, "the federal government will reimburse the state . . . and the government is very general in its definition of reasonable,"

"Reasonable" means if the state has

PLEASE RECYCLE­FOR NATURE'S SAKE

defaults equalling less than ten percent of the total loans, the federal government will repay the state completely.

. Baldner said no state, to her knowledge, has ever failed to obtain federal reimbursement. About 40 states now have state-guaranteed loan programs, she said.

The student will have to pay an ad­ministrative fee at the time the loan is received: one percent of the face value multiplied by the number of years the loan will be used.

For example, a loan of $1,000 received by a freshman will not be repaid - or start to be repaid - until five years later (four years of college plus one year _ of grace period), so the "fee" for the -loan would be $10 multiplied by five, or $50. This amount will probably be deduc­ted from the student's first loan receipt, according to Baldner. The loans will probably be approved for a school year, but issued each semester.

This fee, Baldner said, will be used to pay for the actual costs of the program, not for the loans themselves.

"It doesn't cost the state any money to run the program," she said.

The state will support the lenders by buying back the student loans. A public, non-profit corporation will be established, as stipulated in SB-52, and the corporation will issue revenue bonds. The sale of these bonds will provide money to buy back the student loans from the original lenders - something called secondary borrowing - and then the state will pay back the revenue bonds as the students pay back their loans.

"The money actually just chases it­self," Baldner said, "but it's proven to be effective."

Why is just any one eligible for the

loans? One reason is that in order for the state to obtain 100 percent federal reim­bursement, it is mandatory the program be totally non-need based.

"We don't think we'll see that many, $100,000-a-year incomes applying for loans,'' Baldner added.

She also pointed out that only 2 per­cent of the students who attend college have family incomes over $40,000.

"We are hoping," Baldner said, ''lenders will discourage people who ~ don't really don't need it ... but the only true turn-down basis is a reason to believe the person will not repay the loan."

She added, although neither the banks nor the state can turn down a high­income applicant, "counselling" will be available to that person, and ad­ministrators will be responsible to -discourage high-income loans.

Overall, Baldner said, this is the cheapest way to run the program, con­sidering the state support of the lenders, the consolidated billing through the state, and even the relatively lower chance of default because the student will be_. dealing directly with a bank.

"We think that Colorado lenders ... will do a better job of getting the money repaid (than the federal government)," Baldner said. ''A cold-eyed banker will be more effective than a bureaucrat in Washington." •

Baldner said the proposed program, which has received strong support from local private institutions and trade schools, but only "lukewan_;n support" from public colleges, won't receive im~ mediate backing from the area's banks, but she believes they will eventually see it ,' is a better program that the Federally In­sured Student Loan Program.

degree programs by currently enrolled students. · - Netiel-:- though, will work for the proposal if accepted.

"If the trustees feel this (the proposal) is an appropriate action," Net­zel said, "and it doesn't cause much static internally, I can negotiate and finalize.the proposal."

Jerry Wilson, MSC Physics Depar­tment chair, said · Monday he knew nothing about the specifics of the proposal.

"It (a restructuring) of Physics has been discussed for several years," Wilson said. "I just don't know anything (about the proposal) yet."

Both Macintyre and Marvel were unavailable for comment Monday.

As of press t~e Monday, Governor Richard Lamm had still not taken public action on the "long bill."

Lamm, by "line-item" veto, could choose to eliminate certain parts--in­eluding footnotes-of the "long bill."

Veterans told ''not to panic'' The Metropolitan State College Of­

fice of Vetera.tls Affairs (OVA) is telling veterans "not to panic" over the change in MSC tuition payment policies, but an OVA spokesman said he fears the changes may reduce veteran enrollment at the college.

"Historically, for whatever reason, the veteran student doesn't always keep up to date on the ever-changing regulations," said Thomas J. Ward OVA director. "I think the change u; Metro's enrollment policies will impact

He said his office is encouraging eligible vets to apply for "advance pay" as soon as possible. He said vets must be informed of the change quickly and plan ahead to make tuition payments.

Ward said vets who want more in­formation may contact his office at 1015 Ninth St., or call 629-2993 or 629-2994.

MSC students ''clouted'' by Fall tuition increases I By Frank Mullen

Metropolitan State College (MSC) students will be paying more money for tuition and fees this fall and they will be required to pay it in full upon registration. .

Jay Johnson, MSC controller, said the college made the change in the payment system in the wake of legislative action requiring all state' institutions to count only paying students as "full time equivalent" (FfE) students. In the past, state institutions could count all full time students as FrE's whether or not they paid their bill.

The riumber of FrE students is ap­plied in the budgeting formulas used to determine the institution's budget for the following year. More FrEs mean more money is allocated by the legislature to the institution.

"The legislators would never have changed their policy if it were not for Metro," Johnson said. "We had the most lienient payment policies .. . · In the past a student could pay the bill seven or eight weeks after the start of the term. But the old system: just wasn't working."

He said between 1,500 and 2,000 students would fail to pay their bill each semester under the old system. The state and the students who paid their bills were subsidizing the students who failed to pay.

Beginning with fall semester, studen­ts who enroll at "walk-in" registration will be required to pay their tuition and fees at the same time. Those who par­ticipate in mail registration (deadline July 13) will be required to pay before August 13, or they will not be registered for classes. They can still participate in "Walk-in" registration.

In the case of mail registration, Johnson said, all students must fill out the "financial commitment form1

' in­cluded in the class schedule and mailed to all MSC students this week. The form must be filled out and mailed with the mail registration form. Checks, Master­charge and Visa will be accepted for payment.

He said students whose tuition will be paid by another source, such as a government agency or business, financial aid, or "advance pay" veterans should fill out the appropriate sections of the form and mail it to the college.

Johnson said he is "optimistic" about the effect of the change in policy upon MSC enrollment. He said recently enacted financial aid laws will make it easier for" more students to qualify for aid. He said he encourages stu~ents to explore all the avenues of financial aid which may be available to them. The decision to accept charge-cards for tuition, he said, was made to ''make it as easy as possible for students to pay."

The legislature also increased tuition at all state higher education institutions.

At MSC, resident students taking 10:-18 credit hours formerly paid $226. The cost for the same student is now $256. This is a 13.2 percent increase.

Non-resident tuition jumped 26.8 · percent; from $760 for 10-18 credits to

. $964 this fall. -The University of Colorado at Den­

ver (UCD) has also experienced a rise in tuition. UCD, however, will stick to its present system of tuition collections. At the University, students may pay their tuition in three equal installments accor­ding to Nancy Stallings of th~ UCD Cashier's office.

The Community College of Denver at Auraria (CCD-A) is still in the process of determining payment guidelines, ac­cording to Kevin Callison of the CCD Business office. He said he is unsure what

Beginning in the fall semester, MSC students will be required to pay their tuition in full upon registration.

"Veterans are in a very tenuous situation," Ward said. "They receive their benefits once a month and it only takes one bad month to throw them clear out of kilter."

Editorial Is Carter courting oil disaster?

I By Gaetan µon

President Jimmy Carter wants to remove all price celings on oil in order to increase our domestic oil production, decrease consumption and thus lessen our dependence on foreign imports. This energy policy is very sound at first glance, but looking a few years down the road, could lead to catastrophy.

Why? Because the critical issue is not how much oil we produce or import, but how much oil we have left. '

Contrary to popular belief, we don't have eno_!lgh reserves- for the next fitly or one hundred years. Although domestic oil production has decreased by IS percent from 1970 to 1977, our oil production has decreased by 25 percent during the same period. An easy forecast would state that in 28 years we would have no oil left! If domestic oil prices are deregulated, our domestic production will increase drastically, causing our oil reserves to become depleted even faster, possibly as soon as fourteen

Letters Editor:

The article on the Ground Round "punk" event had several untrue and incriminating statements which can hurt the bands that played--Violators, ' Def ex and Guys--as well as other bands around town. The writer stated that the bands defamed race, creed. and color. This is not true. The first that was even heard of the KKK was in Werges' article. This article just adds to the already negative view of "punk rock" or New Wave music people already have from . readying exaggerated articles. There wa~ ·no violence or racism that is supposedly associated with New Wave. All the bad press received can hurt the chan­ces of having more activities on a regular basis in Denver. There are a lot of people interested in bearing energetic and innovative music not heard on the Top 40 or in the Discos, and would like to give New Wave a chance to surface in Denver. We don't need to have our chances stifled by bad press. · ·

Editor:

· Cordially, The Guys

The story on the Ground Round rock show in your June 13th issue was a gross misrespresentation of the event. -

I· am appalled to think that someone w]th the title "Business Manager" like Steve Werges can write sych a pack of lies and an "Editor" such as yourself can permit its publication. If the staff of The Metropolitan is any indication of the future of jour­nalism, then lam truly frightened.

Mr. Werges's statement concerning the Ground Round's "attitude" toward the event was erroneous. Their attitude was positive and receptive. They knew a month in advance the type of music which would be featured on June 8th. As producer and promoter of the event, I must say the Ground Round's management ·was very positive about staging it; in fact, at the end of the night, they of­fered to stage two more such shows. With no steady place in Denver for the local new wave bands and their following to call their own, it seems strange that you "mature, intelligent" writers want to destroy . what outlets we do have to have fun.

Your comment on ''the bands doing their part to defame race, creed or color" and stating how well they would've gone over with the Ku Klux Klan sound like cheap attempts to convince others that don't really know about rock and roll that rock is racist in nature. I resent your labeling of these bands as bands that insult people of other races, creeds or colors. Of the Defex, the drummer is Jewish, the bass player is Polish and the singer and lead guitarist come from white_surburbia. _They sing no songs con-

A letter to Metropolitan Readers: · Voters--the working engineers of the democratic-republic-federation that is America--are goofing off, killing time and killing themselves as voting citizens.

Regardless of romantic tales of the likes of Greek democracy by an elite citizenry of male property owners in which slaves were property, Americans are pioneers in voting. Voting is the power of the people · (democracy) to delegate authorities and responsibilities (republicanism) and to group them to meet various needs (federalism). The process is in constituencies from schools and towns into states and a nation. Idealistically it is of a beauty to command attention, yet it does not in America.

Of the major nations in which people have voting rights, the U.S. has the weakest percentage of qualified persons who exercise their rights, their authorities, their responsibilities. For comparative examples review the voting records of France, West Germany or Japan.

But as we are not attracted to its beauty, we ob­viously must be aroused by distasteful ingredients to v.ote. The distasteful ingredients perhaps are ex­cessive taxes, rules by laws into nearly every step of life or a new ingredient being brewed in Congress.

The new brew is an ammendment by Rep. Robert Walker, R-Pa., in the process of the House of Representatives to build a new Department of Education.

Deceitful beauty describes the Walker ammen­dment. News announcements glamourously are that

reserves are finite, including OPECs. Ultimately the bargaining power is going to shift to those with the larger reserves. Our best bet is to keep oil price · ceilings, curtail domestic production and import all the oil we can afford from OPEC in order to deplete their reserves instead of ours. .

The result of deregulating the price of oil could b~ spectacular. . In Western Europe, where no oil pnce controls exist, gasoline users are paying from

. $2.00 to $2.50 a gallon! The president believes that such a price hike is beneficial, asit would reduce our oil consumption. Reduction will be extremely difficult because our cities have been designed to depend on the private car as a means of transportation.

If the price of gasoline were to rise to $2.00 per gallon, would you ride your bike on I-25 to commute to school or work? Probably not. More of your pocket ·money would go into gas purchases. Con­sequently, oil price deregulation will turn the oil crisis into a money crunch and lead to total oil depletion.

- Psychic side of life studied by Young By Vicki Bailey

Are you psychic? Do you easily get hunches?

~ How intuitive are you? Find out the answers to these and

other psychic related questions through a class for the whole family, called "Developing Your Psychic Side." The class is offered by the Learning for Living Center, an adult learning program at

· Metropolitan State College. Jack Young will teach the class at the

Jewish Community Center, 4800 E. Alameda Ave., July 9, 16, 2~ and 30.

According to Young, psychic phenomena will be objectively discussed, such as: clairvoyance, clairaudience,

..direct voice, automatic writing, dreams and hypnosis. .

Everyone is psychic in some way, and a person can find their abilities through his method, Young said. The method is the discovery of your spiritual psychic being, that is, the voice of the god within you, or your true self. The

•spiritual psychic being is found, accor­ding to Young, by realizing there is no conflict between religion, science or psychic, but that each is related to one another.

Young said students· will learn to develop their psychic spiritual being through the daily practice of lessons which he has created. The lessons will act as guidelines for self discovery of one's own psychic abilities.

As an example of his work, Young citea the 'Bowl lesson', when a person can physically transfer their womes, by relasing them into a higher power of thought. He said this can be accom-plished by prayer. .

· For a reference text, Young will use the Bible. He said that many psychic examples which are often overlooked are found in the Bible.

Young is currently teaching this course at Arapahoe ommunity College, Community College f I;>enver, and the Jefferson County dult Education System. He has lecture at the University of Hawaii and Gettysb College. He and his wife, Myrt, have also worked with mentally disturbed persons in Den­ver area hospitals.

Tuition for this course is $20. Students are asked to bring a loose-leaf notebook. For further information regarding this course, call Learning for Living, 629-3046 anytime.

~· m~s1¢l(L Streisand knows little about boxing-

by S. Peter Duray-Bito

THE MAIN EVENT. Starring Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neal. From War­ner Bros. at Villa Italia and Cherry Creek.

Well, what we have here is another boxing movie. A Rocky comedy. With Rocky II out, too, we should have a hard­hitting summer.

Ryan O'Neal as a boxer? Naturally, they must be kidding. They aren't- Ed­die "Kid Natural" Scanlon hasn't fought in four years and is living off the $60,000 someone invested in him as a tax shelter.

That someone is Hillary Kramer (Barbra Streisand). Using her nose to her advantage for on~e. Streisand runs a per­fume company in search of the ultimate perfume. Her former husband walks in on her disco-exercise class and tells Streisand she is bankrupt. Her perfume business is out and fighting is in. Her only remaining asset is the contr~ct with "Kid Natural."

Hillary is determined to get her money back and gets into the fight management business to win· some fights. Kid Natural doesn't want to fight ("I killed a man once") and the two go at each Other for the rest of the film.

Streisand is magnetic. She has tremendous presence-a big mouth, wildly gesticulating hands and protruding buttocks. O'Neal, by contrast, has that fighter's air of poised mindlessness, but is .often provoked to explode at Streisand (a real fighter wouldn't do that to a real lady). And his clean-cut American look

. certainly doesn't awe the opposition. They go to the strangest training

camp. Snow three feet deep and O'Neal goes jogging throngh the winter won­derland like a lumber-jack trying to find a tree. Streisand, who naturally insisted on going along, sleeps in a log cabin barracks with 13 other train~es in various stages of undress-so that she will not compromise the fighter's spirit.

The script is quite predictable. The performances are about what you would expect from two fine calibre stars, but the

magic of What's Up Doc? (the last time Streisand and O'Neal worked together) is missing. The film is really ruined by a lot of tasteless, banal humor.

After toying with each other (mostly by abuse) through the whole film, Hillary and the kid finally make it-on the worst night possible. A foreshadow? No, the ending could be spied from miles. Just throw in the towel.

MSC raises tuition continued from page 3 changes, if any, will be made.

"UCD will stick to their old system because they probably had success with it," Johnson said. "At Metro we weren' t that lucky. The students were taking ad­vantage of a good system. Those who had their money up front were subsidizing the 15 percent or so who did not pay.' '

"My greatest concern is that I'm afraid the students may not believe we are going to do this ("money-up-front" policy)," Johilson said. " I'm afraid they may think 'good old Metro wouldn't hold it against me if I took my time paying.'

"Butwe~,'_:__hesaid.

Governor Lamm okays state loan program

continued from page 2 Baldner cites as the state program's

winning points: less time lag from ap­plication of a loan to approval, less paperwork for the lender and the student, and it i~ state specifice (it will be tailored to fit the lending laws of the State of Colorado, something the federal program cannot do).

Baldner feels one reason private schools are so supportive of the program -is they have always seen the relationship between money and enrollment - a relationship relatively new to state­supported institutions.

Also, public schools may be only lukewarm because of the possible ad­ministrative hassles involved, although these would be minimal, and they are just beginning to suffer drops in enrollment.

Although administrators at the post­secondary level, Baldner said, seem to be opposed to the program, generally favoring a national loan bank, Congress has been supportive of the concepts since 1976, when it passed the ten percent default for reimbursement law. But that obligation ends in 1981, and may or may

not be reinstated. "We are a little concerned about the

federal end of the partnership,'' Baldner said, "but we are counting on their con­tinuing support . . . and decided to go ahead with the program now.''

She said Lamm will undoubtedly approve the bill. "He has been suppor­tive of the program since the day it was first discussed," Baldner said.

The new bureau to be created to handle the loans will be the Student Loan Guarantee Division of the Department of Higher Education. The current direc­tor of the Division of Higher Education will appoint the new director of the loan division, who will appoint his own staff, at first only two to three persons. Later, a technical staff and three or four regional staff members will be added.

The regional staff members, Baldner said, will help to advise banks to manage the program. much of the paperwork and administrative functions, at least initially, may be contracted out to a local non-profit firms, she said.

continued from page 4

the plan " would permit voluntary prayer in the public schools" (Denver Post June 14).

When the cosmetics are removed, it is obvious that the voluntary prayer is as dangerous as ethanol alcohol in booze one cannot digest, a locoweed to craze one while eating food _goodies or the new religious zeal mesmerizing Americans more deeply. Americans are already mesmerized into following rules by leaders everywhere instead of being led by per­sonal principles of decencies to themselves and other persons.

Walker is acting as being full of ethanol and locoweed in a supposition that prayer is not allowed when, where, why, how and for what and to whom one chooses. Regardless of the gnashing of teeth acts by Walker and millions of others, prayer is not disallowed to anyone anywhere anytime. Not even the classic cases of Schempp-or Murray do so. They only rule that prayers cannot be dictated by persons to other persons. Arguments by these cases fall into the ridiculous '!hen one studies them and discovers that objec-

tive views of religions actually are en­couraged.

It is from that step that Walker and 255 representatives who voted in favor of -­his amendment stumble. Their stumble is that of the thoroughly indoctrinated­brainwashed-pseudo-Christian: Pray, damn you, or I'll withhold from you what you need of me.

The Walker amendment contains language to force the planned Department -of Education to establish the "volun­tary" prayer law or the department will not be funded by the House of Represen­tatives.

The Walker amendment is a sad commentary on his ability to do as voters have delegated to do in allowing all per- -sons their Freedoms--not meditation and prayer by law-- of Religions. It is a sadder commentary on "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself".

While you still have that self, please vote. Vote by voice, vote by letter or vote by only ballots. But vote. The choice is to be ruled by Walkers or stay alive.
