The Law Serves You You And Your Pet Illinois Student Loans Running Into Millions College and university students „ from Illinois are getting their education on the cuff at a record rate, according to the Illinois State Bar association. The ISBA said about 18,000 Illinois residents apply for loans each month to finance their way through colleges, universities and some ad­ vanced vocational training schools. In February, 17,810 Illinois students borrowed a combined total of $17,771,958, an average of about $1,000 each. The loans are guaranteed by the federal government under the Higher Education Act, which is administered by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. The law requires students to begin repayment of their loans within nine to 12 months after they graduate or terminate their educational program. The limit on a loan designed to cover tuition, room and board and other education- related expenses for a single school year is $2,500, under amendments adopted last year, the ISBA said. A student may borrow up to $7,500 to complete his undergraduate education or up to $10,000 if he goes on to graduate school. For the student who qualifies according to a "need analysis," the government will pay the seven per cent interest rate on his loan while he is in school. Otherwise, the student must pay the interest to the lending institution, usually a bank, himself. Apart from the federal program, the ISBA said Illinois residents also may obtain loans which are backed by the state of Illinois, under a similar loan guarantee program. Loans made under this program are re-insured by the federal government. For the first six months of the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1972, some 22,500 loans, totalling $25,652,746, were made under the state program. Since the federal program went into operation in 1966, the ISBA StiWteitiis and other lenders have advanced a total $289,547,716 on 309,288 Illinois loan applications. Loans made under the state program, through Dec. 31, 1973, total $232,362,557, made on 214,586 applications. The ISBA said Illinois and five other Midwest states - Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana and Ohio - accounted for 47 per cent of all student loans made during February, 1973. under the national (federal) program. Of the six states, Illinois tops the list in number of borrowers. Hoops & Heels Act: April Fools' Joke? Maybe it was all a gigantic April Fools' joke - one that has kept law students, legal researchers, librarians and others searching through the records of British Parliamentary law and other reference books for years, looking for a law that probably never was. According to the IllinoisState Bar association, which says it has never taken part in the search, the law is known by reputation as the Hoops & Heels Act and some of the more zealous searchers may have been looking for a cheap way out of the state of matrimony. The law gets its name from hoop skirts and high heels which were fashionable in 18th century England and which the backers of the Hoops & Heels Act apparently felt were deceptive and enticed men to a fate they would not have chosen by themselves. In any case, it is generally agreed that the Act read something like this: "That all women, of whatever age, rank, profession, or degree, whether virgins, maids, or widows, that shall, from and after such Act, im­ pose upon, seduce and betray into matrimony, any of His Majesty's subjects, by the scents, paints, cosmetic washes, artificial teeth, false hair, Spanish wool, iron stays, hoops, high-heeled shoes, bolstered hips, shall incur the penalty of the law in force against witchcraft and like misdemeanors and that the marriage, upon conviction, shall stand null and void." Some searchers have been encouraged by an En­ c y c l o p a e d i a B r i t a n n i c a reference which, under the heading "Cosmetics", quotes the test of a bill, said to have been introduced in Parliament in 1770, which is the same as the « H o o p s & H e e l s A c t . G . V . Septimus Piesse's "Act ot Perfumery (1879)" is given as the source of the information. However, nothing is said about the bill ever becoming law. The ISBA said some law professors have been known to offer a reward to any student who could find the Hoops & Heels Act in any statute book, knowing full well that the student's only reward would be a new experience in legal research. Some students have gone so By Raymond A. Minor, D.V.M. " M&nager of Veterinary Services Norden Laboratories Taking your cat along on your vacation can be enjoyable ... or exasperating. How it turns out depends largely on you and the advance preparations you've made. A carrier is a necessity for cat travel. Carriers are readily available in pet shops, but it would be a good idea to consult with your veterinarian before deciding which one to buy. Once you decide on a carrier, your next step is to get your cat accustomed to it well before the travel day arrives. Let your cat sleep in the carrier if he likes. Also get your cat used to being carried around in his container, first in the house, then around the block, and finally in the car. If your cat isn't used to traveling, the car may present a problem. Follow a pattern similar to the carrier before taking your cat on an extended auto trip. As a first step, you can park your car in the driveway with its doors open. Then lead your cat up to the car and encourage him to jump in. Let him sniff around on the floor or sit beside you on the seat. If this goes well, repeat the procedure next day and this time start the engine. Next, take your cat for . a short ride, and then a longer one. Whatever the length of your auto trip, you should find the following tips useful: - Be certain your car win­ dows are down far enough to ventilate, but not enough to permit escape. (Remember the cats can squeeze through very small places.) - If your cat is traveling in a carrier, be certain it's tightly fastened. (Cats are adept at opening latches.) - If you must leave your cat in a parked car - it's a better idea not to - park in a shady spot, secure the carrier, check your windows for proper ventilation and hurry back as soon as possible. If you are traveling by train, arrangements are usually easy. Cats are welcome, provided they are in carriers. In some cases you can keep your cat with you. But you may be required to keep it in the baggage car. Make sure to call the railroad in advance to confirm arrangements. Air travel is normally easy for cats; most of them are not bothered by either motion or altitude. Be sure to contact the far as to search through the entire Acts of Parliament for 1770 and the British "Statutes At Large", so far without result. airline in advance of your trip and let them know your cat is coming along. When stopping at a hotel or motel, the carrier is an in­ valuable sleeping place. If you plan to stay at a hotel, be sure you call in advance to make sure they will accept your cat. Motels are generally more lenient. It's usually fairly easy to find a motel which accepts cats without a prior reser­ vation. * Whatever the mode of travel, it is a good idea to bring along a recent health certificate and proof of enteritis and rabies vaccinations. If you find that your pet is uneasy about travel, you may want to give him a tranquilizer. But do so only on the recom­ mendation of your veterinarian. Bon voyage! --- Dr. Minor regrets that he is unable to personally answer letters from pet owners. He suggests that readers consult their own veterinarians when their pets have problems.
