The speculation surrounding whether or
President .\'i\on will continue to fund the National
llli‘t‘t'ini'} Loan Program is apparently inst tfiat

not

speculation

.lim higle. director of student financial aid. said
Tuesday on one knows ~iiist how tfie various student
.iid programs will be managed this year. Nor will
anyone else know, he said. until the new ('ongress
takes action on the funding of the proposed student
aid programs

.\('('Ultltl.\G TO THE Higher Education Bill of
1972. provisions were made for funding three major
student aid programs the National Directory Loan
Program iformerly the National Defense Loan
Programi. the current Educational Opportunity
Grant. and the (‘ollege Work Studies Program.

These three programs are supposed to be for-
ward-funded by the preceding congress each year.

The hitch. however. is that last year's (‘ongress
neglected to appropriate funds for this year‘s
student aid programs leaving the funding of these
programs up to this years (‘ongress

'l‘t) (‘UMPLHZ-Vl‘l—I matters even more. a totally
new program. the Basic Aid Grant Program. has
been initiated. It. too. awaits congressional action.

As a new program. the Basic Grant Program has
yet to clear the miles of red tape that the three
established student aid programs have already
hurdled.

Even if this new program received full
congressional backing. it is doubtful if govern—
mental wheels would turn quickly enough to im-
plement the program in time for this year's
students. lngle added.

Barring the chance that (‘ongress decides to
initiate the new Basic Grant Program, with its
corresonding delays. at the expense of the three
already existing programs“ and if things go ac-
cording to the Higher Education bill of 1972~~the
three already established programs will be funded.

Just how much in funds will be allocated. and just
how they will be divided between the various
programs. will rest entirely with the Congress. And
the final decision will rest with President Nixon.

Court bans WKU 'ny' swatter

('l\('l.\'\s\'l‘l. (thio (AID—Th0 tith
l' S (‘ircuit ('ourt of Appeals was told
Tuesday that cancellation by university
officials of a film showing a fly walking
on a nude woman's body violated
student constitutional rights.

()ral arguments were heard by a
three-judge panel in an appeal brought
by the Associated Students of Western
Kentucky l'niversity, a student
governmental body. The case was
taken under study.

At issue is cancellation a year ago of
a campus showing of films entitled
“The Films of John Lennon and Yoko
()no.” and “Genesis 4."

The student group argues that
(‘harles Keown. Western's dean of

student affairs. unconstitutionally
cancelled a planned showing of the
films

The university. on the other hand.
contended that Keown asked only that
only one segment of "The Films of John
Lennon and Yoko Ono.” titled “The
Fly." be cancelled.

The film portion at issue consisted
solely of scenes showing a fly walking
over all portions of a nude woman's
body The film had no dialogue.

The films were brought to the
campus through the cooperative efforts
of student and administration
representatives. as part of a university
program.

Keown told Judge Rhodes Bratcher of

i' S. District (‘ourt in Bowling Green.
Ky . home of the university. that he had
privately viewed the films only after
seeing a leaflet which described their
contents.

He said he found “The Fly” “gross."
"offensive.” “lewd” and of “no
educational value."

Bratcher conducted an evidentiary
hearing on the case last May. and in
June dismissed a suit in which
Associated Students asked that the
university he enjoined from cancelling
campus movie showings.

The student group. represented
Tuesday by attorney Thomas A. Hogan.
asked the appeals court for reversal of
Bratcher's order.
