Colleges, Universities Favor Expanded Federal Aid Program LftJ By ROBERT A. SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington - The Nation's! colleges and universities strongly favor an expanded J$pv federal pro KVTV jT gram to help them accomo date growing student enrollr ments, but which the Ei senhower ad- m i n istration ! wants to abol- ish next year. a. aobt smit rwo spokes men for the academic commu nity testified last week before the Senate housing subcom mittee in favor of a new $62.5 million program of federal loans for colleges to build classrooms, laboratories and libraries. This would be an extension of the nine year old program of federal loans for college dormitories and facul ty housing. President Calvert N. Ellis of Juniata college, Hunting don, Pa., and President John A. Hannah of Michigan State university, disputed conten tions against the program made by Eisenhower in his recent veto message on the housing bill. Dr. Ellis represented the As sociation of American Colleg es, whose 778 member institu tions include virtually all ac credited liberal arts colleges and universities in the coun try. Dr. Hannah represented the American Council cn Edu cation, American Association of Land-Grant Colleges and State Universities, American Association of Junior Colleg es, Association of Higher Edu cation and the National Edu cation association. Impressive Point An impressive point to the committee was the forecast of future student enrollment. Dr. Hannah pointed out that when congress launcned this pro gram, it was thought post-war enrollment would level off at twice the pre-war level-2.6 million over 1.3 million. In stead, it is now over 3 million He estimatedby 1970 6 million students will be seeking high er education. In his veto message, Eisen hower called this a "subsidy" program that would merely displace private financing and "lead to federal spending that is entirely unnecessary." Both educators disputed this. They explained that the federal loans are extended to colleges over 40 years at an interest rate equal to the av erage paid by the federal gov ernment in its borrowings, plus J4 per cent to cover ad ministrative expense of the program. The rate is now 3Vs per cent. "This program costs the government nothing," Dr. Hannah declared. Rebuff Contention Dr. Ellis rebuffed the presi dent's contention about dis placing private money. He said "there is not adequate private financing" and as far as most private colleges are concerned, "a federal loan pro gram is the only available guarantee that our building needs will be met." "Without such a program, what assurance has a college like my own, not merely that it will be able to raise a loan at a rate of interest it can af ford to pay, but even that it will get a loan at all? If we were to pretend that there is any satisfactory alternative to a federal loan program, we should be conspiring to de ceive the American people." Dr. Ellis said Juniata col lege has built two modern dor mitories largely through 40 year federal loans. He said the best deal banks will offer is a 15 year loan at 5 to 6 per cent, if the scnool has good security. Dr. Hannah said the government required Michi gan State to obtain half its financing for new buildings from banks and insurance companies. Federal loans cov ered the balance. Normal Sources. ! ' "We simply cannot' build fast enough through our nor mal revenue sources to meet the need," Dr. Hannah added. "Thus borrowing in substan tial amounts is inevitable if our colleges and universities are to provide the required campus facilities for our young people and it is un thinkable that we will not." It is still a question whether Congress will try to override the president's veto or whittle down the bill in a modified form in hopes of getting him to sign it. Under the college housing program, 11 sizeable loans have been granted to seven Oregon colleges and universi ties, mostly for dormitories. Three applications for other loans are now pending, and the availability of further fed eral funds will determine whether they go through. These pending cases are for Willamette university, $689, 000 for a dormitory to house 172 men; Lewis and Clark college, $225,000 for a dorm for 82 men; and Linfield, $825,000 for two dorms and a student union. One dorm is for 76 men, the other 76 wo men. Those previously extended were for: Reed - $223,000 for a wo men's dorm; $334,000 for a men's dorm; $300,000 for an other men's dorm. Lewis and Clark Lewis and Clark" - $465,000 for a men's dorm; $590,000 for a women's dorm and a dining room. Linfield - $202,000 for a men's dorm; and $75,000 for married students' apartments. Pacific university-$630,000 for a women's dorm and to rehabilitate dining facilities. University of Portland - $440,000 for a women's dorm; and $1,460,000 for a men's dorm and dining room. Eastern Oregon college of Education and Southern Ore gon college - $1,100,000 for a men's dorm on the LaGrande campus and a women's dorm on the Ashland campus.
