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.
THINK BEFORE
YOU DRINK
Pennsylvania’s newest drinking
law concerning minors went into
effect recently.
The act, passed by the 1963
General Assembly, makes it il
legal for minors to attempt to
purchase, consume, possess or
transport alcohol, liquor or malt
or brewed beverages.
The law provides for a penalty
from $25 to $lOO fine or 30 days
in jail or both.
