Students must show need
Regulations cause loan delays
By WILLIAM J. WAUGH
WASHINGTON (AP)
Processing of student ap
plications for federally
guaranteed loans has been halted
to await new federal regulations
requiring the student “to
demonstrate a need for the
money.”
Some university officials ex
pressed fear that the new federal
Torrqs would not reach them in
time for entering school this fall.
Tens of thousands of students are
affected by the delay.
The U S. Office of Education
said the new regulations should
be validated sometime this week
end ‘‘hopefully the new forms
will be sent out this week.”
Under previous regulations, an
Office of Education spokesman
said, a student from a family with
an income less than $15,000 a year

was eligible for a loan where the
government paid the interest
until the loan reached repayment
status. The spokesman added
that eligibility now will be
determined on need.
The new requirement was
included in the recently passed
education amendment signed by
President Nixon on June 23.
William M. Simmons, Jr.,
director of the division of insured
loans, wrote on June 26
requesting about 8,000 in
stitutions to stop processing
applications until they receive
the new forms and regulations.
Any applications processed prior
to July 1 will be honored, the
letter said.
Special education teacher
retires after 43 years
Eva O’Neil is retiring as
associate professor in the
University’s College of
Education. Her career in
education spans 43 years, the last
eight in the Department of
Special Education.
O’Neil began teaching school in
1929 after graduating from the
University of Idaho, first in
Montana, then in Merlin and
Grants Pass, Oregon until 1951 It
was during this time, she says,
“that I realized how many
children needed special help "
From 1955 until 1964 she was,
first, a remedial teacher and
speech therapist and then a
school psychologist for the
Eugene public schools She has
master’s and Ph.D. degrees from
the University and joined the
College of Education staff in 1964.
Since then she has been
primarily responsible for
coordinating the practical

training in remedial teaching for
graduate students, based at the
DeBusk Memorial Center on
campus.
The DeBusk Center was
established in 1928 to provide
evaluation, counseling, and
remedial help for school age
children, at the same time ser
ving as a training center for
graduate students in special
education. Children may be
referred by their schools, or by
their physicians or parents.
“I’d estimate that about 20 per
cent of the children in school have
some fairly serious problems
with reading, spelling, math, or
some basic orientation. Since
1954 Oregon has had a statewide
program for helping children
with extreme learning
disabilities,” says O’Neil, in
dicating that DeBusk has been
one of the major training grounds
for remedial teachers in the
Northwestern states.
“It’s been challenging and
rewarding work,” says O’Neil,
“but I’m not altogether sorry to
be retiring.” Retirement will
mean more time to spend in her
garden and on her 24-foot sailboat
while she’s in Eugene, and more
opportunity for the travel she
enjoys.
She’s already covered most of
the world, and plans to spend
next winter in southeast Asia,
and the following summer in
Western Europe and Russia

Departments awarded summer grants
The University’s Mathematics and Computer Science Depart
ments have been awarded grants for summer school projects through
the Oregon Mathematics Education Council (OMEC), a committee of
the Oregon Educational Coordinating Council. The grants were
funded through a National Science Foundation Systems Grant made to
the Educational Coordinating Council.
The Mathematics Department grant for $68,060 will be used to
introduce elementary and secondary Oregon math teachers to new
teaching methods and supplementary teaching materials. The
program, divided into two sections, will involve a secondary-teacher
session from July 17 through August 11. Fifty-seven teachers will
participate in these sessions, which will be directed by Dr. A. F.
Moursund of the mathematics departments.
The $46,826 Computer Science grant will be used to acquaint about
30 teachers of elementary through community college levels com
puting and computer math courses. The courses are designed to help
introduce computing into public schools. Dr. David G. Moursund,
head of the computer science department, will direct the program.
Foreign courses to begin
Two undergraduate foreign language courses will be initiated at
the University of Oregon next fall with the help of financial grants
from the State Educational Coordinating Council to improve the
quality of undergraduate education.
Dr. Helmut Plant, associate professor of German, has received
$14,278 to establish an intermediate German class as a continuation of
“Guteri Tag,” an experimental first year course. The course taught
last year by graduate teaching assistant Christian Stehr, is designed^
around audio visual media. |
Videotapes used in the first-year course were produced in Ger-I
many to help foreign workers employed in German industry gain a
quick command of the spoken language. The tapes are adapted only
slightly for use at the University. After viewing the taped sequences,
the class is divided into small groups to practice the vocabulary they
have heard.
Students also take a course in standard German reading and
grammar in conjunction with “Guten Tag.”
The course has proved popular with language students, and during
spring term, when it was offered free of charge in the evening to
townspeople, more than 400 persons enrolled.
According to a spokesman for the Department of Romance
Languages, a $4,615 grant from the Educational Coordinating Council
will be used to provide a beginning French course, “Toute la Bande,”
designed on the same pattern as “Guten Tag.” The course will be
supervised by Dr. Elisabeth Marlow, assistant professor of Romance
Languages.
