Page 6 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Friday, January 5, 1968 Loans Now Make College Life Easier That o 1 d work - your - *way - through - college concept is giving way to a philosophy of “learn now, pay later.” Does this mean today’s stu dents are less industrious than their predecessors ? No, declared Robert M. Logan, financial aid director at Texas A&M. The fact is that many students today simply don’t have time to work, noted Logan, who worked his way through A&M 26 years ago. “While students take about the same number of courses today as in the past, the academic require ments are far greater than they were even five years ago,” Logan observed. Competition to place high in class standings is keener than ever, he added. Students are hence more prone to borrow against future earn ings than take jobs which would possibly interfere with academic performance. If a student devotes the proper amount of time to his studies, he is putting in considerably more hours per week than his 8-to-5 father, Logan pointed out. The average student is enrolled for about 17 hours of academic credit per semester, explained A&M’s coordinator for both stu dent jobs and loans. If the stu dent applies himself properly, he should be devoting some 51 hours a week to his college work, in cluding actual classroom time, laboratories and studying. A 60-hour week is a distinct possibility if the student engages in any of the extracurricular acti vities which are considered a wholesome part of university life. Long-term, low-interest loans came into vogue around 1964. Logan estimated 3,000 A&M students — approximately 25 per cent of total enrollment — have loans of this type, representing a financial outlay in excess of $2.2 million. The loans fall into three gener al categories: (1) National De fense Education Act, (2) Texas Opportunity Plan and (3) United Student Aid Fund, Inc. As indi cated by their titles, two of the loans are federally and state sup ported. USAF Inc. loans are fi nanced through local banks after the university approves the appli cation. Each loan carries a three-per cent interest rate (if it qualifies for federal subsidy), with repay ment beginning five to nine months after graduation and terms extending from five to 10 years. The average loan at A&M pro vides about $400 per year. “A&M students have an out standing record for repayment,” Logan emphasized. Only .2 per cent of the debts are in arrears, he notes. While there is a definite “learn now, pay later” trend, Logan said approximately 1,700 A&M stu dents are working their way through school — or at least foot ing a portion of the bill. The 1,700 students, he added, are only the ones placed on cam pus through his office. There could be as many as 500 or 600 more who have obtained off-cam pus jobs through direct contact with local employers. Logan estimated 50 per cent of all the students at A&M furnish a portion of their college expenses by working during the summer. He also figures that many of the students who have loans also Stamp Venders To Get Changes Nearly 10,000 postage vending machines, including the three at the College Station Post Office, will be converted over the next three months to reflect the new postage rates, according to Post master Ernest Gregg. New postage rates go into ef fect January 7, 1968, the post master noted. The new rates raise first class postage to 6# an ounce, air mail to 10-cents an ounce, and postal cards to 5-cents. The job of converting the thou sands of vending machines found in post office lobbies from coast to coast is so massive that it will take several months to complete, the postmaster said. Five differ ent types of machines are in volved, he noted. Most of the machines now pro vide 5-eent and 4-cent stamps for a nickel, quarter or dime. After the conversion, the machines will provide 5-cent and 6-cent stamps. A new model will offer 1-cent, 5- cent and 4-cent stamps. work, either while enrolled in school or during the summer. There is no shortage of work at A&M, Logan contends. “If a student wants a job, he can get one,” he said. Many manual labor type jobs, in fact, go unfilled, relates the former A&M student who recalls that back in his college days, every general maintenance type job on campus was taken by a student. The “good ole days,” however, were not really that good, Logan admitted. While admiring the students who still wait on tables in the mess hall and perform other simi lar chores, Logan respects the students who grab the listings for insect breeders, instrument re pairmen, meteorological radar op erators — and even private guitar instructors. He also respects the “learn now, pay later” students. New Grad Coun Offered In English Texas A&M’s first graduate course in linguistics will be of fered by the English Department during the spring semester be- gining Feb. 2.

STARTING A TROOP MOVEMENT Leggy actress Raquel Welch, wearing a hip-hugging miniskirt, is joined on stage by several marines in a torrid dance number during opening performance of Bob Hope’s troupe of entertainers at Da Nang, South Vietnam. Some 12,000 GIs were present for Hope’s 18th annual Christmas show for American servicemen. (AP Wirephoto by radio from Saigon) New Civil Defense Instructor Named Aggie Wins Award In Sea Exploring George Martin, formerly post chemical officer at Fort Bliss, has joined the Civil Defense Training Staff of Texas A&M University’s Engineering Exten sion Service. Dr. Willis R. Bodine, coordina tor of Civil Defense training at A&M, said Martin will teach all phases of Civil Defense training courses, with emphasis on radio logical monitoring. As chemical biological-radiologi cal officer at Fort Bliss, 1st Lt. Martin was responsible for train ing civilians for radiological moni toring assignments throughout New Mexico and the western half of Texas. Martin entered the Army as a paratrooper and logged 75 jumps, many of them as a sport para chutist, before being assigned as a chemical officer. He attended several Army specialty schools and took eight courses at the U. S. Office of Civil Defense Staff College at Battle Creek, Mich. A native of Nashville, Tenn., Martin is married to the former Nancy Lee of El Paso. He is an industrial engineering gradu ate of Tennessee Technology Uni versity at Cookville. Martin’s hobbies include sport parachuting, skiing, golf, and tennis. Richard H. Charnock, a fresh man marine engineering major at Texas A&M, has received the Quartermaster Award in Sea Ex ploring. The medal, equivalent to the Eagle Scout award, was pinned on the 20-year old Charnock by A&M Dean of Students James P. Hannigan, commissioner of the Arrowmoon Scout District. Charnock, the son of the Rev. and Mrs. Arnold Charnock, 302 Church Street, Safety Harbor,Fla., spent almost four years earning a series of merit badges leading to the Quartermaster Award. During the award ceremony, Hannigan read a letter of con gratulations from Alden G. Bar ber, chief scout executive of the Boy Scouts of America. After two years on the main campus, Charnock will join other marine engineers in advanced stu dies at the Texas Maritime Ac ademy in Galveston.

Plans call for a week’s em phasis in areas of basic law en forcement, criminal law, criminal investigation, traffic law and ac cident investigation. The trio’s closing-session brief ing will come on the heels of an address by Secretary of Trans portation Alan S. Boyd, previous ly announced speaker for the opening-day luncheon. More than 300 prominent trans port leaders will attend the two- day meeting, said conference chairman, Major Gen. John P. Doyle. He said the controversial subject was selected in anticipa tion of federal legislative and ex ecutive activities in this area within the next few years. The conference is co-sponsored by the Transportation Association of America. Instruction will be by Scott and his four-man staff, plus guest instructors from the Texas De partment of Public Safety, the Houston Police Department, and other law enforcement agencies.
