Colleges, Universities Favor
Expanded Federal Aid Program

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.
