A special task force, chosen by the
Residence Hall Association External
Allans Committee, has begun con
sideration of the extension of dormi-
ftQ! '> visitation hours. The committee
was formed to discuss what changes
Mould be made and problems that
uld arise from those changes.
An informal resolution passed
ednesday night by RHA set the
hours for 9 a.m. to midnight
Sunday through 1 hursday and 9
a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday,
JysCaila Carey, co-director of the
Aterrial affairs committee.
I But, RHA President Michele
Fisher says, so far the only definite
anaver about extending dorm visita-
|ti(iii hours is that there is student in
terest.
Fhe visitation hours are currently
10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through
Thursday and 10 a.m. to 1:30 a.m.
Friday and Saturday.
During the Spring 1985 semester a
survey was given to 10 percent of
dorm residents and all the head resi-
dents. The survey asked what the in
terest in extending the hours was
and also what individual preferences
for the time change were.
Marya Knoj, co-director of exter
nal affairs, says 12 people are on the
task force and some oppose the
change.
Cary says the committee’s job will
be to consider possible security prob
lems, roommate conflicts and how
quiet hours will be affected as a re
sult ofany change.
Knqj says, “The two problems the
R.A.s (resident advisers) ttre con
cerned with the most are what hours
to lock the girls’ dorms and the
roommate conflicts.”
Carey says one solution to a secu
rity problem would be to continue to
lock the girls’ dorms at 10 p.m. This
would mean non-residents could not
get in without an escort, she says.
Also, those residents with guests
would then be responsible for their
guests' actions, Carey says. ——
After assessing the problems the
task force, along with the directors
of the external affairs committee,
will write a handbook explaining the
visitation times, rules and regula
tions that will accompany the propo
sal, Carey says.
propc
by the
mately be revised by the student af
fairs department. She says if visita
tion hours are extended, the change
probably won’t be implemented un
til next /all.
Knoj says the process for chang
ing the visitation hours is slow and
the committee wants to avoid loop
holes that may cause problems later
on, so there’s no rush job.
Carey says, “It’s like writing an
English paper for class and having
your mom, your sister and your dad
read it before the teacher does. It’s
the same principle with our propo
sal, several people have to read over
it before anything can be decided.”

This is the first semester incoming
students could apply for short term
loans. In the past, students had to at
tend A&M for at least one semester
and maintain a 2.0 grade-point ratio.
When the Texas Legislature de
cided to triple tuition at state univer
sities for the fall semester, it simulta
neously provided emergency tuition
and fee loans to help students cope
with education costs. But several
universities are saying the state
didn’t provide enough funds and
are now turning students away who
apply for financial aid.

she says.
Allen said Van de Walle will
speak for about five minutes and
then will answer questions from
the audience.
Lambda Sigma, a national
honor and service society for
sophomores, sponsors the sympo-
siurii as a question-and-answer
session on issues that concern stu
dents, she said.
l exas, the University of Texas at El
Paso, the University of Houston and
Pan American University have re
ported a shortage in emergency fi
nancial aid.
An A&M official from financial
aid who asked not to be identified
says these universities — in contrast
to A&M — are probably harder hit
because they have more interna
tional and out-of-state students.
Fifteen percent of in-state tuition
and 5 percent of out-of-state tuition
was set aside, Benson says, adding
that the funds from Texas residents
are to be kept separate from non
resident funds. Of these amounts,
no less than 20 percent goes toward
emergency loans, while the remain
ing amount is used for the Texas;
Publication Grant program.
This grant program has been
around for several years, but May’s
state legislation macle it significantly
larger to handle the higher tuition
costs. Benson says the University
gives out its grant money as it comes
in, while money for emergency loans
is distributed to students before
A&M has this money in hand.
“We estimate how much tuition
money we’re going to collect,” Ben
son says. “We loan up to what we ex- 1
pect to have.”
A&M operates on a revolving loan
fund, he adds, and students should
pay back their loan money within 90
days. Benson says a shortage of loan
money at this time of the year is not
a major problem because most stu
dents have paid their tuition, and
the fund will be replenished in time
for the spring semester.
The state provided A&M with
$333,895 for Texas students, and
$76,003 for its international and
out-of-state students. Also, Texans
are paying an average of $180 per
semester for tuition, while non-resi
dents are shelling out $1,800. This
caused a predictable shortage of
non-resident loan funds, Benson
says.
“The only area Tm a little con
cerned about is the international and
non-resident (student area),” Ben
son says. He adds that he was more
concerned with the international
students because their costs for at
tending A&M in the ’85 school year
is estimated at $9,060. “Internatio
nal students do not qualify for any
other financial aids than the Texas
Public Education Grant and regular
campus jobs, (under the work study
program),” Benson says.
Benson adds that these grants and
emergency loans were made avail
able to international students for the
first time last week. He says the state
has now found a way to determine
the needs of these students in terms
of differing international currencies
and incomes.
