Page Two -Guilfordian, September 19, 1984 Question: What time warp do you think Guilford Col lege is in? ft*, \ Carrie Sorrell: "Guilford is war ping between hackey-Sack and Izods." Aid may drop in 2nd Reagan Term WASHINGTON, D.C. (CPS)-Even with no further budget cuts, more students could be chasing fewer aid dollars dur ing a second Reagan term if the administration achieves the goals set out in a recently released budget document. While the document, prepared by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), predicts no ac tual cuts in federal aid, it also suggests the administration will ask for no aid increases and forecasts inflation will reduce ex isting programs by as much as 30 percent by 1989. "The changes are due primari ly to inflation," says Barry White, OMB budget examiner.

"We don't anticipate any policy changes." The document outlines a drop in "constant dollars" (1985 dollars cheapened by inflation through 1989) spent on student aid in a projection of the 1989 budget. Prepared last winter, the docu ment doesn't reflect more recent negotiations with Congress that tacked $2 billion on to the presi dent's proposed education budget. White stresses. Even with the inevitable com promises to come in the budget process, the Senate's proposed 1985 education budget of $8 billion and the House $7.5 billion pro posal already outweigh Reagan's $6.8 billion request. "This is not to say the ad ministration has any proposals to make changes beyond the 1985 budget," explains White. "We will hold the Pell grant at the 'B4 schedule, combine work/study with SEOG (Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants) and make new NDSLs (National Direct Student Loans) only from payment of old loans. No new money will be available for NDSL." ■I Marshall S. Hairston: "Guilford College is in a warped 60's era." Reagan's proposed budget would cost $330 million in student aid, or 913,000 graduate and undergraduate awards. Congress consistantly has over ridden the President's opposition to increased education spending, holding the proposed cuts to a total loss of 20 percent of the 1980 college budget. "Fiscal 'B4 got some substan tial increases," says Pat Smith of the American Council on Educa tion (ACE). "We may get some increases again in 'BS. Reagan didn't ask for them, but we may get them anyway." "For that reason, I expect no more to be taken out," says Don Gillespie, a spokesman for the College Board. But since the 'B2 cuts, the face of student financial aid has changed, he points out. Grant money has dropped from 80.3 per cent of the total aid package to 48.2 percent. Loans have increas ed from 16.9 percent to 47.8 per cent. If a second Reagan ad mininstration does manage to cut aid by 30 percent Gillespie fears some students would be priced out of the education market. "The big fear is that in the absence of student aid, lower income students can't go to school," says the ACE's Smith. But the OMB document is only a projection, not a prediciton of the 1985-89 budget. When asked about maintaining current higher education ap propriation levels through 1989, and the projected 30 percent drop in "constant dollars" however, Debra Kalcelvik of the Congres sional Budget Office only laughs. "There's probably a zero chance. Presidential budget re quirements basically are ignored in Congress." Football Upsets By Tim Meadors The Guilford College football team scored their second major upset of the year with a 27-12 vic tory over Davidson. This has been the best start for the Quakers in the past five years. The Quakers dominated the game from the start. On the first play sophomore-redshirt Brent Tart ran 70 yards for a Quaker score. The Quaker defense recovered a fumble on a fake punt attempt and freshmen kicker Rick Herr ing booted a 41 yard field goal to give Guilford a 17-0 lead. Ex cellent defensive play was turned in by Pernell Jefferson. Jefferson tackled Wildcat kicker Jay Poag clinching the win. He also return ed a kickoff 74 yards which in turn set up a 20 yard field goal. Jefferson made a incredible div ing interception which broke up a two point conversion. He finished the day with a fingertip deflection in the end zone during a frantic Wildcat rally in the final minutes. Quaker quarterback Doug Ken worthy threw two touchdown passes of 10 and 11 yards to Bud dy Halbert and Reggie Peace. photos by Becky Gunn ||PP?

Very." iiili ' Fran Cook photo by A Stuart Freshman Facts By Diane Negra and Dede Steele The Guilford College Class of 1988 is a group of 315 students from diverse backgrounds. Geographically, the students come from both the North and South, North Carolina residents compose the largest section of the student body, followed by New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Florida residents. Eight percent are international students. In ad dition to the Freshman class, there are 48 new transfer students, 9 visiting as part of a consortium, and 22 adults read mitted to the Continuing Educa tion Program. The median SAT score for the class of 1988 was about 1000 points. There were 28% more ap plicants this year than last. Fifty four percent of this year's ap plicants were men and 46% were women. Thirty percent of this year's class attended private schools, the remaining 70% received a public education. According to Fran Cook, Direc tor of Admissions and Financial Aid, many students come to Guilford because they do not necessarily need to commit themselves to a major. "Here they are not afraid of being undecided." Of those freshmen who have declared a major the most popular include Manage ment, Biology, Physics, Mathematics, and Psychology.
