and (b) diphtheria-tetanus immunization within four years. (In addition, poliomyelitis
immunization within one year is recommended.)
If the student is enrolled in the University at the close of a five-year period
following the first physical examination, a second examination is required; a second
examination may be required after a shorter interval, at the discretion of the
University physician.
Students who decline immunizations because of religious conviction may be
admitted, but only on the condition that they or (in the case of minor students)
their parents or guardians agree in writing to assume all expenses incident to their
care or quarantine, should they acquire smallpox, diphtheria, or tetanus while
students in the University.
Financial Aid
FOR STUDENTS who need financial aid, the University provides assistance
in finding part-time and summer employment, loans from special funds supported
by private donors, and scholarships and fellowships supported both by state funds
and by private endowment. Federal and state educational aid is available for veterans
of the Korean conflict; under certain conditions, children of deceased veterans
of the two world wars and the Korean conflict may qualify for Federal educational
grants.
Student Employment
Many students earn a large part of their University expenses by work in the
summers and during the academic year; some students are entirely self-supporting.
The University assists those seeking part-time and vacation jobs through the Student
Employment Service. Students wishing part-time jobs on the campus or in
the Eugene community are advised to write to the Employment Service a few
weeks before the opening of the fall term; in most cases, however, definite commitments
for employment are made only after personal interviews with prospective
employers.
Loan Funds
The University of Oregon administers student loan funds totaling more than
$404,000. These funds are available for two types of loans: regular loans for a
period of six months to two years, and emergency loans of small amounts for a
period of ninety days or less.
The loan funds held in trust by the University are governed by uniform principles
and policies, administered by a Student Loan Committee. Applications for
loans are made through the Office of Student Affairs. The following regulations
govern student loans:

cumulative GPA of at least 2.00 may obtain an emergency loan for a period of three months or
less; to he eligible for a long-term loan a student must have a GPA of 2.25.
(2) The service charge for emergency loans of $10.00 or less is 50 cents for one month,
75 cents for two months, and $1.00 for three months. The service charge for emergency loans
of more than $10.00 is $1.00 for one month, $1.25 for two months, and $1.50 for three months.
The service charge for all overdue emergency loans is 50 cents a month until paid in full.
(3) The interest rate for long-term loans is 4 per cent per year.
(4) No more than $600 will be lent to any individual from University long-term loan funds.
(s) It is the policy of the University to encourage repayment of loans as soon as the
borrower is able to pay. The maximum loan period is two years, with the privilege of renewal if
the borrower has in every way proved himself worthy of this consideration. Payment of loans
