Associated Press AUSTIN — Several college presi dents have told a College Coordinat ing Board hearing that students ap plying for loans should not be penalized because earlier students defaulted on such loans. It may even be a violation of the current student’s constitutional rights, some of the presidents said Monday, and those students could sue to block proposed cuts in the state loan program. The legislature created the Hinson-Hazlewood program in 1965, authorizing $285 million in bonds for loan to needy students. The federal government began in suring the loans in 1970, and now the U.S. Office of Education says it will cut the program’s lending capacity 29 per cent because of a default rate of 15.56 per cent. The federal office says it will sus pend that reduction if the board agrees to limit student loans to in stitutions with default rates less than 10 per cent. The committee conducting the hearing will make recommendations to the full board. Students declaring bankruptcy to taled 3,800 in the nation last year. Some student newspapers repor tedly have published stories advising students that “loopholes will permit them to avoid payment of the loans, adding a telephone number where information on bankruptcy can be obtained. phrase, ‘This is not a giveaway pro gram.’ We’ve told them time and time again, This is not a grant. This is a loan.’ George McLaughlin, vice presi dent for student affairs at Lamar University, said, “The coordinating board must delegate to the institu tions some authority if you are going to hold us responsible.” For other types of student loans, schools usually include on the note authorization for hiring agencies in the event ofdefai they have no such authority Hinson-Hazlewood loans. Robert Logan, director aid at Texas A&M University, was too late to cancel loans spring for this semester. That cal of the federal govern said. They always do somel this “three days after the started,” he said.
