U of 0 May Get
Part of Kennedy
Education Grant
University students may re
ceive as much as one-third of
the $189,000 that President Ken
nedy has allocated for 270 schol
arships to Oregon colleges and
universities during the 1962 fis
cal year. He submitted the figure
in his educational proposals to
Congress on Monday.
Francis Nickerson, Executive
Secretary of the High School-Col
lege Relations Commission, made
•he estimate of the University's
dice of the scholarship monies.
He emphasized, however, that
any estimate would be just "pull
ed out of a hat.”
NICKERSON said the money
may be allocated directly to the
state schools proportionately,
comparing individual college en
rollment to that of the total state
college and university population.
Another possibility is that the
money will be distributed through
the State Scholarship Commis
sion, allocating the money to
students who will later choose
the school they will attend.
WHICHEVER method is used,
the total amount of funds going
to the University students will
"tend to balance out.”
Kenneth Ghent, chairman of
the Scholarships and Financial
Aid Committee, estimated that
the University would receive from
25 to 30 per cent of the $189,
000.
The total scholarships for 1962
were based on the assumption
that the amount per scholarship
in each state would average $700.
President Kennedy’s proposals
to Congress included $7,094,843
for Oregon during the 1962 fis
cal year.
This would amount to S20.10
per pupil in average daily at
tendance in public schools in the
state.
The requests for 1963 and 1964
are higher. The President asked
$8,356,592 for 1963. or $22.89 per
pupil, anil $9,601,681 in 1964, or
$24.54 per pupil.

Matching Funds
Not Allocated
By LARRY LYNCH
Emerald Managing Editor
The University is in danger of
missing out on $250,000 in loan
funds it could make available to
students next year. As a result, •
the Dean of Mon and the student
body president have initiated re
medial action.
The money is offered to the
University through the National
Defense Education Act.
BUT ABOUT $27,000 in match
ing funds will have to be put up
by the University unless Dean
Ray Hawk and Steve Schell suc
ceed. The problem is that the
University may not be able to al- j
locate that amount out of its un-1
restricted loan funds for use as
matching funds necessary under ’
the requirements of the National
Defense Education Act.
The best alternative, according |
to Hawk, is to get the money
from the state legislature.
Hawk has written Acting Pres
ident of the University William
C. Jones informing him of the
crisis in the University loan fund
and suggesting alternative cours
es of action.
SCHELL HAS written the stu
dent body presidents at other j
Oregon colleges and Universities,
suggesting a joint meeting of the
student presidents to consider
seeking legislation in Salem.
There are two other ways of;
getting the necessary matching
funds that Hawk included in his !
letter to President Jones.
One is to apply for loans that
the federal government has made
provisions for and that can be
1 used to match the NDEA funds.
The problem here. Hawk says, is
that precedents indicate this sort |
of federal loan would come at
about six per cent interest.
A SECOND alternative would i
Baboon Behavior
Topic of Lecture
By Anthropologist
"Baboon Behavior" is the sub
ject of a talk to be given today
by Dr. Sherwood L. Washburn,
professor of anthropology at
UCLA at 1 p.m. in the SU Ball- I
room. He will illustrate his lec-j
ture with a color sound film.
Washburn, who has been doing
research on comparison of the
1 behavior of primates, and hu
mans, has participated in several
expeditions abroad in his field;
work. He took part in the Asia
. tic Primate expedition to Ceylon,
Siam and Borneo in 1936-37; F.ast
and South Africa in 1948; Rhode
sia and South Africa in 1955, and
East Africa in 1959.
Since 1957 Washburn has com- j
pleted six papers for publication.
His latest paper, now in the
hands of the publisher, is “So
I cial Behavior of Baboons and
Early Man.”
He has served as secretary and
president of the American Asso
ciation of Physical Anthropolo
gists. He has also served as ed
itor of two journals on anthropol
ogy.
Washburn, who received the
Viking Fund Medal and Award
last year, has been a research as
sociate at the Wenner-Oren Foun
dation for Anthropological Re
search and a fellow at the Center
for Advanced Study in the Be
havorial Sciences.
The speaker will be introduced
at the assembly by Luther Cress
man, head of the anthropology de
partment at the University.
be to use unrestricted University
loan funds. This v.-ould limit other
short and long term loans rrade
by the University under its own
programs to students who are
financially hard put.
These funds are now loaned
without the scholarship restric
tions that are placed on the
NDKA loans. They are some
times used. Hawk says, to tide
students over tight spots, say for
a trip home on the bus or to pay
next month’s house bill when oth
erwise the student might have to
drop out of school.
Though the University is in a
tight situation, it isn’t as hard
pressed as other Oregon schools,
according to Hav.-k.
Nonetheless, the University
will either have to drop out of
the National Defense loan pro
gram next year or seriously jeop
ardize its own loan funds.
SCHELL, has stated that the
University loan funds are r.ow
depleted and that if all present
loans are established the fund
will be reduced to $488.
Schell has also written state
Senator Monroe Sweetland and
U.S. Senator from Oregon Wayne
Morse asking their help in get
ting either state or federal money
to set up a revolving fund. This
fund would then he used to match
NDEA money at the required
one to nine ratio.
Under the National Defense
loan program, each state institu
tion can acquire $250,000 for stu
dent loans.
THE STATE legislature, if
asked to act, would be urged to
set up enough matching funds to
take care of all Oregon institu
tions for two years, or until it
meets again in 1963. University
Business Manager J. O. L nd
strom estimates this would mean
that the legislature would have
to provide about $200,000, mak
ing an additional $2 million avail
able to students at Oregon col
leges and Universities.
The University o f Oregon
would use about $54,000 of this
money to make over half a mil
lion dollars in loans available to
its students during the next two
years.
IN 1HS ANSWER to Schell’s
•letter, Senator Sweetland asked
for suggestions of “dormant state
funds which might appropriately
be tapped as a revolving fund for
student loans.”
Morse replied to Schell with a
statement that loan program
should come up for special con
sideration when a U.S. Senate
subcommittee on education meets
to consider the NDEA.
