both. You may register in the

State and Local offices.

IUISS
Guaranteed
Emergency legislation, passed
on August 19, 1972, and
effective until March 1, 1973,
makes it possible for lenders to
make loans under the same
regulations that governed the
Guaranteed Student Loan
Program prior to June 30, 1972.
The program enables you to
borrow money directly from a
bank, credit union, savings and
loan association or other
participating lender. The loan is
guaranteed by a State or private
nonprofit guarantee agency or
insured by the Federal
Government.
You may borrow up to a
maximum of $1,500 per
academic year. (In some States
the maximum is $l,OOO per
academic year and lenders must
adhere to State regulations.)
You may borrow up to a total of
$7,500.
If your adjusted family
income is less than $15,000 per
year, the Federal Government
will pay the interest on the loan
while you are attending school
and until the beginning of
the repayment period. The
repayment period begins
between 9 and 12 months after
you leave school or complete
your course of study.
You may normally take 5 to
10 years to repay the loan.
However, the minimum monthly
payment of $3O may reduce the
repayment period, depending
upon the size of the loan.
Repayment may be deferred for
up to 3 years while you serve in
the military, Peace Corps, or
VISTA; or for any period that
you return to full-time study.
You may borrow under this
program if you are enrolled or
have been accepted for
enrollment at least half-time:
in an eligible COLLEGE,
UNWERSITY, or HOSPITAL
SCHOOL OF NURSING
(including many FOREIGN
SCHOOLS) as an undergraduate
or graduate student.
in an approved
VOCATIONAL, TECHNICAL,
TRADE, BUSINESS, or HOME
STUDY SCHOOL.
You must submit an affidavit
declaring that the loan will be
used only for education
purposes. This affidavit (Oe
Form 1260) must be notarized
or signed by a person having the
authority to administer oaths or
affirmations.

student Loan
If you received a Guaranteed
Student Loan after June 30 and
before August 19, 1972, the
Federal Government will pay the
interest for you until the loan
principal is due for repayment,
providing the Supplemental
Application Form (OE Form
1260) was fully completed and
the educational institution
recommended that you need a
loan for educational costs. When
the school recommended a loan
the interest subsidy will be paid,
regardless of family income,
even though the loan may be
disbursed after August 19, 1972.
You are eligible to reapply for
either a new loan or an
additional amount if, after June
30 and prior to August 19,
1972, you:
A were denied a loan
because, based on an analysis of
your need, the school made no
recommendation
B were denied the interest
subsidy, although your family
income was less than $15,000
C waived the interest
subsidy in order to get a loan
D received an insufficient
amount as a result of the
school's analysis of your need.
If you are eligible to receive a
subsidized loan under the
present rules, the Federal
Government has no objection to
your using the proceeds to repay
a prior unsubsidized loan
received during the interim
period (after June 30 and before
August 19, 1972).

Beta cm meets
by Sy Sebastianelli
The first meeting of the Beta
Chi organization took place last
week with some thirty members
attending. Beta Chi is the official
name for Capitol's former
Business Club.
The major part of the meeting
centered around new proposals
that were introduced by the club
officers. In addition to the
regularly scheduled term trips
and guest speakers, new ideas
brought forward included
writing articles of interest in
THE CAPITOLIST, the creation
of a file of past tests, a book
exchange service for members,
and the offering .of emblem
jackets carrying the Beta Chi
symbol. Another innovation
introduced was the certainty
that in future meetings
educational films would be
shown covering varied aspects of
business interest.
In as far as guest speakers
were concerned, three possible
areas could be tapped. Faculty
members, for one, could speak
to members concerning
administrative policy or
advisement. Area businessmen or
sales representatives would also
be invited to talk about their
company, its products,
advertising policies, or
managership programs. The
Placement Office would be
invited to discuss job
possibilities and resume
preparation.
The meeting adjourned with
the selection of a finance
committee that would
investigate fund raising
possibilities. The next meeting
will take place this Thursday at
7:00 pm. in Room 212.
Currently an intramural flag
football team is being sponsored
by Beta Chi. Any person wishing
to participate should contact
either Tony Durante or Bill
Ryan.
