Loan Deadline December I The Committee on financial aid has announced that December 1 is the deadline for receipt of applica-tions for Federal Aid from the Na-tional Defense Student Loan Pro-gram for the second semester of this academic year. Application forms may be secured from the Business Office. After fill-ing them out the students may send them to Miss Nina Hughes, Chair-man of the Committee on Financial Aid. Full-time students in good aca-demic standing who satisfy all re-quirements of the standards and practices of the college are eligible, if real need for financial aid exists. Interest on the loan is three per cent and it begins to accrue and re-payment begins on any outstand-ing balance of a loan one year after the borrower ceases to be a full-time college student. However, mili-tary service, for no longer than three years, will prolong the beginning of repayment and interest accrual. A student borrower who later be-comes a full-time public elementary or secondary school teacher may have ten per cent of the principal of his loan forgiven for each year in full-time service as a teacher, up to a total of five years.
