Federal Officials Allot Dorm Fun Stud.en ts, . Faculty Sponsor Janua:ry Talks on Viet Nam Meeting with the assistant di- rector of the Federal Housing and Home Finance Agency in Chicago Friday were Dr. Gene Geisert, Superintendent of Al- pena Schools; Robert Bennett, assistant superintendent; and El- mer Manson, senior partner of Manson - Jackson and Kane of Lansing, the architectural firm which designed the dormitory. Cost for the design presented to the Alpena Board of Education in March was estimated at $1,· 285,000. To bring the cost down the ad- ministrative areas were reduced in size by a total of 1,000 square feet. These areas include house- mother's quarters, lobby and of- ficies. Various architectural phas es were redesigned and the site improvement budget cut in half. The Architect had originally planned to improve about four acres as part of the dorm pro- ject. This size has been poten- tially reduced and the remain- ing will be improved with funds set aside for improvement of the campus site as a whole, some of which are state matching rev- enues. Banks Turn Down Student Program Half of the banks in Michigan refuse to lend money to colilege students, educators say. If more of too banks would become active in the program, more students would be able to obtain college funds for t h e i r education, under 1ne new Fed- eral Student Loan programs. Because of difficulty in obtain- ing the money some cStudents are being orced to drop ou of school until they can e:M"n enough money to return to school. 'Dhe MHEAA has e n o u ,g h money for loa·ns up to five mil- lion dollars this year, but some of the funds could be short if the Legislature fails to pass a law allowing loan assocki.itions, insur- ance compa!llies, and banks to make loans. Only 174 of the 365 banks in the state have taken an active pairt in the program. The reason for the bank's re- luctance is tha,t they're likely to lose money on the loam; they make to students. Many ba!Ilks have their own college p,rngirams in which col- lege students obtain 1Jhe money, a,fter then- parents bo1Tow it for them. Undergraduate students m!Jiy get a loa,n up to $1,000 a year and graduate students may borirow up to $1,500 a year. One student may not borrow more than $7,- 500 for :his whole college educa- tion. Interest on the loan is six per - cent and 1Jhe student must start paying it back within nine months after graduation. Th e &tudent is allowed .:en yea:·s to. pay back the full amount he bor- rows.

Jimmie On January 4 and 6, two sym- poshnns on Viet Nam were sponsored by The Student Com- mittee For The Defense of Viet Nam. These symposiums were held in Room 115 of Alpena Com- munity College at 11:00 A. M. on both days. The purpose of the symposiums was to eliminate the lack of information that seemed to cloud the real is- sues of the Viet Nam war. · The instructor - moderators were Mr. Walchuck, instructor of political science; Miss Goggans, history instructor; and Mr. Law, instructor of history and international affairs. Also on the pannel were students of A. C. C. The agenda for the two ses- sions was as follows:• a discus- sion of the historical facts, op- ionions expressed by the speak- er and questions from the· au-· dience. Clocks Put A-head - For Daylight time - The dayl!i.ght saving time, that brings tlie hot days and long twi- lights went into effect at 2 A.M. April 24. The clocks were ad• vanced one hour. There are 31 states that .are now observing daylight - saving time this year. And, for . the £4-st time there is also Federal legislation on the subject. Any state using daylight time must conform to the Federal dates, which this year are April 24 to Oct. 30. ·while the Federal law does not require the states to adopt day- · light time, it ,iio~s provide. that those preferring to remain on standard time must have such an act passed by their legislatures before April 24, 1967.
