Loan checks venue changes
By Edward Klopfenstein
At H a m last Thursday, doors to the finant ml
aid office at Oregon Hall opened and a rush of
money-poor students lined up for their loan
i he< ks Within a lew minutes, the line real bed to
the street outside
The hustling scene made one man especially
happy
"So far. it’s working OK. " said fim Heiss.
Perkins Student Loan manager and the person
who switi lied student loan chei k pu k-up points
from the KMU Ballroom to Oregon Hall
Plus is the first year chei ks are being disbursed
from the business building Along with the l1 n I -
\ ersity s new monthly billing system, the change
represents a more than 20-vear effort to streamline
student business servil es through one central loca
tion The new lulling system started in August for
the fall term A i oinpany in Seattle helps coordi
nate student payments
Tv er siin e the initial design of Oregon Hall in
the late 1960s. the intent of the building was for it
to Ihh omu the University's i enter for its business
affairs, Heiss said
The old sy stem of disbursement w.is too costly
for his department and too frustrating for the stu
dents. he said
At the Iwl I room, students often stood in line for
at least 20 minutes for their diet ks and then stood
in another line to pay the (.ashier
At the start of spring term, Heiss said the head
i ashior for the i ashior department dw ided not to
set lior c ashiers up at the ballroom in the fall
be .a use students could pay through the new
billing system Two days later. 1 leiss decided loan
11 lei ks would not he disbursed in the ballroom
either
"(Students) don't have logo to the cashier." he
said, "so we don't have to go to the ballroom."
(nonna Drew, a freshman majoring in romance
languages said she waited about 21) minutes when
interviewed halfway through the line. "It's hurry
up and wait." she said.
Paul Dondero, n graduate student in music, said
that because more people were in his line at the
ballroom, the A through D line, he thought moving
everyone through one lino to six different stations
was better.
"It's more equitable this way.” Dondero said.
"Everybody gets to wait the same amount of time."
Employees acting as crowd control said people
took about 40 minutes to get through the line.
"We’ll see how it does after fall, winter and
spring." lleiss said.
The change reduced the department's setup
costs this term, said lleiss. because his department
could use its existing facilities instead of recreat
ing the same system in the ballroom.
lleiss hired several people as line managers, but
that also is a cost he wishes to reduce as students
become more accustomed to the system and need
less direction.

"This is another way we i an

"The billing used to be really
tricky," Tergesen said, referring
to the former late registration
fine, the $5 late fine for short
term and deferred-tuition loans,
and varying late fines for dormi
tory and rental housing.
Besides being simpler, the
new format is also more profes
sional. he said.
"It's much more business-like.
