Highacres 0 Collegian Volume 29—No. 1 O.S.G.A. C PSU Urges HELP For Student Loans The University has joined with other Pennsylvania colleges and universities through the Pennsyl vania Committee for Higher Edu cation Loan Plan (HELP) to urge passage of Amendment 1-A to the State Constitution at November elections. President Walker pointed out, in announcing the University’s decision to aid the HELP pro gram, that even though' loans totalling nearly half a million dollars are made by Penn State yearly, more than a thousand ap plications for loans, adding up to more than a million dollars, are turned down yearly for lack of funds. “Rising costs of education and the declining opportunities for students to earn enough to put themselves through college are two important reasons more stu dents are asking for loans,” the President said. “Our experience with loans to students has been good and we would like to en courage more young men and women to borrow to further their education but the money is simply not- available.” Through Amendment 1-A, the HELP Committe hopes that more banks and other lending agencies will provide loan money at low rates and more liberal repayment terms by being guaranteed the loans through a special State fund. The HELP Committee believes that the public needs to be better informed on the Amendment to assure its passage.
