CONSUMER LOAN ACT:
Fusfeld Says New Rates Too High
Across
Campus
College Roundup
By MARILYN KORAL
Prof. Daniel R. Fusfeld of the
economics department claimed
that it would be contrary to the
public interest for the Michigan
Legislature to pass the Consumer
Loan Act in testimony before the
Senate's State Affairs Committee
last week.
Fusfeld supported with qualifi-
cation the bill's provisions to in-
crease the maximum permissible
loan from $500 to $1500. But he
said that the proposed interest
rates are out of line with rates
charged by lenders serving the
low-middle income-borrower.
"Loan companies in Michigan
have over-expanded in light of the
relatively slow growth of the Mich-
igan economy. The State Banking
Department has in the past abet-
ted this tendency to over expand.
Higher interest rates on loan re-
turns would only encourage more
over-expansion," Fusfeld said.
Emergency Loans
He added that small loan com-
panies were originally established
to provide emergency loans to the
poor. At this time comparatively
high interest rates were necessary
to compensate for the higher inci-
dence of non-repayment.
However, Fusfeld told the legis-
lators, the average borrower from
a small loan company today
"earns $100 per week and is buy-
ing his own home. Only 16 per
cent of the loans are now in the
'emergency subsistence' category."
The high incidence of repayment
should eliminate the need for the
high interest rates proposed in the
bill.
He added that at one time high
interest rates were necessary for
the loan companies to compensate
for high non-repayment of loans.
However, the need of higher inter-
est rates as proposed in the bill
should be eliminated by the cur-
rent high incidence of repayment.
Loan Company
He called the loan companies'
request for an increase in the max-
House Democrats
Trim School Bill
Democrats on the House Educa-
tion Committee have trimmed
President John F. Kennedy's $5.3
billion school bill.
The group scrapped the Presi-
dent's $1.5 billion four-year pro-
gram for grants to public elemen-
tary and secondary schools, and
tentatively decided to separate
general college aid from the om-
nibus bill and move it separately.
imum size of loans to $1500 "prob-
ably justified" due to the increas-
ing needs of their present cus-
tomers.
But Fusfeld charged that "such
an increase is not needed if their
traditional service as emergency
lenders to the poor is to be con-
tinued. A real need for this tradi-
tional type of service still remains.
Higher interest rates are not a
solution to the problem of low
earnings," he said.
He said that loan companies
are probably justified in their de-
mand for increase in interest rates
to meet the needs of the present
customers. But high interest rates
will not solve the problem due to
the slow economic growth in the
state.

WASHINGTON (CPS) -- The
United States Civil Service Com-
mission has blocked attempts to
turn summer government jobs for
students into political patronage.
The commission announced that
competitive examinations would be
held for the jobs starting next
year. In a statement released to
the press the CSC said "political
clearance for part-time govern-
ment jobs is illegal and cannot be
tolerated." The action came after
the commission learned of a story
in the "National College Demo-'
crat," giving detailed information
on how students could get political
clearance from the White House
for the summer jobs.

CAMBRIDGE, Md. - Three
Swarthmore students are awaiting
charges of "tending to incite to
riot," and "disorderly conduct"
for attempting to enter a roller
skating rink with 13 Negro stu-
dents last weekend.
The Swarthmore students had
joined approximately 50 demon-
strators, mostly Negro, from Phil-
adelphia, Baltimore, Maryland
State College and Cambridge in a
concentrated attack on segregated
facilities and alleged injustices in
employment.

URBANA-CHAMPAIGN - The
University of Illinois Committee
on Student Affairs decided in a
unanimous mandate to indicate to
the chairmen of the University
Senate committees their approval
of student representation on uni-
versity committees. If the Uni..
versity Senate accepts the propos.
al, student participation in uni-
versity affairs and opportunities
for student expression on univer-
sity affairs would be greatly in-
creased, according to those in fa.
vor of the motion.

WASHINGTON (CPS) -More
