Batchelor
Student
Aid Bill
Passed
ByHELENCORDES
WASfflNGTON, D.C. (CPS) - After
an unprecedented lobbying effort, some
cosmetic facesaving, and a power
struggle between two legislative com
mittees, Congress has finally passed
what one lobbyist called “the most
important student bill of the year.”
The Higher Education Reauthoriza-
tion Act effectively funds most
federal college programs, including
student financial aid, for the next
five years.
The act, among other things:
+ Gradually increases the maximum
Basic Educational Opportunity Grant
(BEOG) from $1800 to $2600 by 1985.
+ Increses maximum funding for
Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grants (SEOGs) from $1500 per student
to $2000 per student.
+ Require that students receiving
College-Work Study monies get the
minimum wage.
+ Requires that students are
represented on state college planning
commissions.
-t- Establishes a single application
form for all federal aid programs.
+ Raises the interest rates on Na
tional Direct Student Loans (NDSLs)
from three to four percent.
The NDSL Interest increase was the
major concession made by higher
education groups in the intense politick
ing that produced the legislation,
thought there were others.
“The higher interest rate will be a
problem for students,” says Joel
Packer of the National Association of
State Universities and Land-Grant Col
leges. “But most the other cuts are
‘paper cuts.’ They lowered the amount
of maximum funding of programs, but
most are still higher that what they get
anyway.”
But most higher education lobbyists
consider themselves lucky to have got
ten anything. The legislation, which
will ultimately affect about five million
students, was originally introduced last
year. In early 1980, the House passed a
$60 billion version while the Senate
passed a $30 billion version. Over the
summer a House-Senate conference
committee concocted a $49 billion com
promise that the House quickly passed.
In early September, however, the
Senate sent shock waves through the
higher education community by rejec
ting the bill.
It was “the first out-and-out defeat
in tons of years,” recalls Larry
Zaglaniczny of the American Council
on Education. “It came as a real
shock.”
“The higher education honeymoon
is definitely over” another official
dadly remarked, observing the con
gressional sentiment toward cutting
back on social programs had ap
parently reached education.
Indeed, Sen. Ernest HoUings (D-SC)
voted against the compromise bill
because it helped students with
“millionaire fathers who take out (stu
dent) loans as an investment.” HoUings
added, “I used to think education was a
good investment. Not anymore.”
“Some senators weren’t that inform
ed,” says Steve Leifman, a student lob
byist for COPUS (Coalition of Indepen
dent College and University Students).
To “inform” them, Leifman and others
mounted an impressive lobbying effort,
which aimed at bringing the bill up for a
vote again.
For example, Leifman and some
Virginia student leaders showed bill op
ponent Sen. John Warner (R-Va)
hgures showing that his state’s student
loan program had actually made
money for Virginia. “Write that
down!” Warner reportedly barked to
an aide. Warner ultimately voted for
the version approved by the Senate last
week.
Other tactics included sending a lob
byist’s spouse to argue with Sen.
Russell Long (D-La) and waving pro
test banners at an American University
speech by Sen. Howard Baker (R-Tn).
Baker departed from the text of the
speech to announce he was changing his
vote on the issue to yes.
NOTE: Word Processing 166 and 167, Math 111 and 112 examinations will be
administered during the last class period. >

A BRIGHT PERSON
Drop your guard
for a minute.
Even though you’re
in a two-year college
right now, there are
many aspects of the
Army you might find very attractive.
Maybe even irresistible.
See for yourself.
ROTG SCHOLARSMPS
If you’re thinking of evenmally
going to a four-year college, it’s not
too early to start thinking about an
ROTC scholarship.
There are 2-year and even 1-year
ROTC scholarships available.
They cover tuition, books, and
lab fees. Plus $100 a month living
allowance. Naturally, they’re very
competitive. Because besides helping
you towards your bachelor’s degree,
an ROTC scholarship helps you
towards the gold bars of an Army
Officer. It’s worth looking into.
wmGS&ACHOPPa
With two years of college under
your belt, you can get preferential
consideration for Warrant Officer
Flight Training.
If you pass all the tests and
qualify, you’ll go through 40 weeks
of rigorous and valuable training.
You’ll earn the distinctive bars of
a warrant officer and the silver wings
of an Army aviator. You’ll have at
least 175 hours of flight instruction,
40 hours with a flight simulator, 4
weeks night qualification, and
enough classroom work in aerody
namics, meteorology and aerial
navigation to last a lifetime.
The result is a rewarding,
responsible and prestigious position
as an Army helicopter pilot.
SndPBFBOM THE STOUT
What you’ve learned in college
has already earned you a promotion
in the Army.
LKEYDU?
It’s true. If you join the Army
with two years of college, you can
start two pay grades higher. Instead
of being an E-1 with an empty sleeve,
you can come in as E-3 with stripes.
It means about $60 more a month
in your paycheck. And a lot more op
portunity in the long run. Since you’ll
be literally wearing your education
on your sleeve, your talents won’t go
unnoticed by your superiors.
And starting out right can really
help you make the most of the Army.
ABomis
FOR MRT-TME WORK
You can get a $1,500 bonus just
for enlisting in some Army Reserve
units. Or up to $2,000 in educational
benefits.
You also get paid for your
Reserve duty. It comes out to about
$1,000 a year for 16 hours a month
and two weeks annual training.
And there’s a special
program that lets you fit
your Army Reserve active
duty around your school
schedule.
It’s something to con
sider. Because even if you
went to a two-year college
because it was less expen
sive than a four-year col
lege, you know by now that
it still isn’t cheap.
A few years in the
Army can help you
get not only the
money for tuition,
but also the maturity
to use it wisely.
The Army has a program in
which money you save for college
is matched two-for-one by the
government. Then, if you qualify,
generous bonuses are added to that.
So 2 years of service can get
you up to $7,400 for college, 3 years
up to $12,100, and 4 years up to
$14,100. In addition, bonuses up to
$3,000 are available for certain 4-
year enlistments in selected skills.
Add in all the experience and
maturity you can get, and you can
see how the Army can send you back
to college a richer person in more
ways than one.
We hope these Army oppor
tunities have intrigued you as well
as surprised you.
Because there is indeed a lot
the Army can offer a bright person
like you.
