The 58-year-old Taylor, now a utility company executive in Mexico City, leveled no direct criticism at Eisenhower, under whom he served in World War 11. But there was indicated criti cism in Taylor's statement that decisions on military strength are made in terms of their effect on the national budget. _ In brief, he urged a complete reappraisal of both short-range and long-range U.S, military poli cy.

Rushing for second-semester 'men will begin Sunday night with the presentation of a motion picture designed to introduce freshmen to fraternity living. The film will be shown from 7:45 to 9:15 in 119 Osmond. Second semester freshmen may register then for rushing. Those who fail to register Sunday may do so at a later date in the Inter fraternity Council Qtfice, although rgiatt University Grants Nearly $300,000 By June the University will have granted nearly $300,000 in-loans to needy students, but $60,000 more is needed to fill additional requests: President Eric A. Walker parent there will be "need in scholarships, more and more loan funds." In recent months 60 students were not granted loans because of lack of federal funds from the National Defense Education Act. At present 95 others are seek , ing $33.597 for the spring seines ; ter from the University fund which has only about $lO,OOO available to meet the requests. The $300,000 already pledged by the University for this semes ter topped last year's high of $166,647 by 66 per cent. National studies show the cost of a university education has risen . 33 per cent since 1955. Five years ago loan requests never ex ceeded $50,000 a year and few, if any, were left unsatisfied. Today without assistance many students will be denied the educational opportunity to which they are entitled. Walker said. "It is entirely possible that some 'of our present needy are getting help elsewhere. Certainly, there is no indication yet that large numbers are dropping out of school. But the pressures are Igrowing greater every day." The University gets its loan ' funds from two sources, the Na tional Defense Education Act and 'its own fund supplied by alumni, various groups and organizations and the University itself. About 40 loans are available from this fund. About $230.000 of the money pledged this year comes from federal grants and the rest from the University. Students may borrow up to $5OOO from the federal funds over a 5-year period; but only $lOOO from University funds over a 4-year period. Students today can get much larger loans than was possible m the past. In 1953-54, for example the average loan was $lO2 a year mainly because there were no federal funds and because donors imposed various restrictions on University funds. Today the av erage loan is about $3OO, Special Collegian Today's issue of the Daily Collegian is a special spring orientation - registration issue.
