Congress rejects aid cuts 6? v ,14, WW! Congress has rejected proposed budget cuts for the National Direct Student Loan NDSL, Basic and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant and College Work- Study programs, assuring that there QQer will be sufficient funds for financial aid to all UNC students for the coming year. Congress voted down President Carter's recommendation to abolish the $332 million NDSL program, which aids over 2,000 students at UNC, and rejected cuts in other loan programs Carter adopted from the Ford Administration budget. William M. Geer, Director of Student Aid, encouraged all students to apply for the reinstated loans. If eligible, he said, students may expect to be fully funded. "Until recently, we have had to be cautious in advising students and parents about the availability of funds for next year, for there have been some major questions," Geer said. "Now these questions have been resolved in favor of the student who needs funds to attend the University." The published deadline for submission of applications of enrolled students was March 1, but the Student Aid Office will use that date only to determine how soon the application will be processed.

Highest in six years Thursday, May 26, 1977 The Tar Heel 3 Students may face an increase in matriculation fees from Staff and Wire reports A legislative subcommittee voted Monday, to recommend a tuition increase for the UNC system. If the bill passes the joint appropriations committee and the General Assembly, the cost of in state tuition will be raised by 10 per cent, and out-of-state tuition by $100. About a third of the $3.5 million that would be raised from the increase would be used for student loans. Orange County's Sen. Charles E. Vickery and Rep. Patricia S. Hunt both opposed the increase. Vickery, noting that "it is a bad time in economic terms to propose increased fees," offered a substitute motion to limit the increase to 5 per cent and use the money for faculty salary increases instead of student loans. His motion was defeated in the subcommittee, but Vickery said he will continue to work to defeat the 10 per cent hike. Hunt has expressed doubt that their opposition will have much affect on the final outcome, and said she will concentrate on getting faculty salaries raised rather than fighting the increase. "If we have to come down to a tuition increase, I think this one is minimal and will help give leverage for a salary increase," Hunt said. A subcommittee was delegated to study the recommendation prior to vote as was Vickery's request. Of the six-member committee, Vickery and Hunt alone opposed the measure. UNC President William C. Friday who opposes any tuition hike, commended Hunt and Vickery for their efforts. Friday said that the hike violates a constitutional revision that promises to keep the University "as free of expense as possible." Summer school enrollment rises UNC summer school enrollment is expected to be the highest in six years, with registration figures reaching 6,900. This would be an increase of 300 more than last year, according to Dr. Donald Tarbet, director of summer session. Tarbet says a lack of summer jobs may have boosted the number of summer school students. Last year, he said, the summer school enrollment was lower nationwide and UNC may be returning to a pattern of gradual increases. Also, there is a growing percentage of out-of-state students attending. Even with the large increase of students, Tarbet said, there are fewer professors to teach the courses because of numerous workshops conducted throughout the nation. This, in turn, cuts down the summer faculty and greatly reduces the amount of courses offered.
