Defaults
Continued from Page 1
“We want students to pay
their federal loans because it di
rectly affects our ability to dis
burse funds,” Falks said.
When schools have a loan de
fault rate of 25 percent or high
er for three years, they risk los
ing eligibility to participate in
the government’s primary loan
program, the Federal Family
Education Loan Program.
A&M’s default rate has hovered
around five percent for several
years.
“We aren’t too concerned
about losing our eligibility, but
we want to keep our default
rate as low as possible,” Falks
said.
In 1992, FFELP allowed un
subsidized loans, loans that re
quire interest payments by the
student instead of the govern
ment, to be disbursed to stu
dents not qualifying for subsi
dized loans. This action in
creased the loan volume at
A&M by 45 percent, Falks said.
“We don’t anticipate an in
crease in our default rate due to
the unsubsidized loans, but that
is yet to be seen,” Falks said.
“It could go up, but A&M stu
dents have always been very re
sponsible about their loan pay
ments. They make good money
when they leave here.”
Students who don’t repay
their loans can expect their
wages to be garnished andlhej
credit history to be severelya|,
fected.
“The thing about federalstu
dent loans that most peopl
don’t realize is they affect you
credit for the rest of yourli[ (
Falks said. “Even if you declai
bankruptcy, the default can'll
removed from your creditrt
port. These loans mustl
payed back.” Jerry Gastoi
executive associate provost,sai
he was aware of the figures an
thought the numbers wereii
dicative of the caliber of sti
dents that attend A&M.
“The students at A&M let
to take their responsibilitii
very seriously,’ Gaston said,
It doesn’t surprise me at alloi
numbers are so low.”

policies for residence halls.
Also, because of complaints from students about
noisy Bonfire wake-up calls, this year the resi
dents of every hall will vote to decide the kind of
Bonfire wake-up call they want.
Ross said there are many ways students can get
involved with RHA.
Every person living on-campus is automatically
a member of RHA. Students wanting to become
more involved can join their individual hall coun
cils.
RHA also has committees that students can
join, he said.
Ross said it is through these committees that
RHA can accomplish its goals.
He said all aspects of student life, from social
activities to University policies to leadership de
velopment, are reflected through the RHA commit
tees.
Ross said the residence halls have a major so
cial impact on most students.
“I made my best friends through my resideu
hall,” he said. “Students should get involved
their hall councils for social reasons.”
Ross, a member of the Class of '95, is an inti
national studies and political science major frt
Henderson, Texas.
He became involved in RHA and Walton Hi
Council his freshman year.
“I fell in love with the whole on-campus livi:
experience,” he said. “I wanted to be a part
what happened, so 1 ran for officer positions oni
hall council.
He was Walton Hall's secretary duringl
sophomore year and its RHA delegate and soc:
chair his junior year. He was the chair of theRH
Programs Committee his junior year.
Trent Ashby, senior yell leader, is Ross’s roo:
mate and has known him since their freshi® |
year in high school. Ashby said Ross has afe I
been a leader.
“He is very spirited,” Ashby said. “Owen I
dedicated to his work, and he really wantsi
make a difference for A&M and especially!
RHA.”
Poll says U.S. distrusts Congress
Trust rating down 10 percent since start of sessioi
NEW YORK (AP) — Only 14
percent of Americans give Con
gress a high trust rating in an
Associated Press poll taken as
members began a recess that
for many marks the beginning
of their fall re-election cam
paigns.
Two percent trust Congress
to do what is right just about
always, and an additional 12
percent trust lawmakers most
of the time — a trust rating
down 10 points from the begin
ning of the current Congress.
Five percent said they al
most always trust President
Clinton to do what is right, and
25 percent mostly trust him.
That totals 30 percent, down
from 52 percent the week after
his inauguration and 40 per
cent six months into his term.
Bad ratings for Congress
carried through on crime and
health reform, the two domi
nant issues just before the poll
Aug. 26-30.
