Study Shows Federal Aid is Needed
-The vast majority of
students who get federal aid
to attend public colleges
would have to drop out if
they couldn’t get aid
anymore, a new study has
determined.
The typical aid recipient
works at a part-time job to
help pay for college, gets
relatively little financial help
from his or her family, and
then has to ro into debt to
make it through public col
lege, according to the study
of how federal aid is used.
The study, co-sponsored
and undertaker by three ad
ministrators’ associations in
the wake of Reagan ad
ministration charges that stu
dent aid programs are ineffi
cient adn unneeded by
students, found that families
contribute a n average of
about 12 percent - $469 -
toward their offspring’s col
lege educations.
About a third of the 2.2
million public college
students who got aid last year
received no financial help
from their families.
Those independent
students raised 51 percent of
the money they needed for
school through jobs, and 19
percent through need-based
grants.
Students who got help
from their families earned 23
percent of the money they
needed by working, borrow
ed 19 percent, and raised a
total of 39 percent from
parents and aid grants.
The families that did con
tribute to their children’s
education and whose
children received some
federal aid had average an
nual incomes of $16,500 last

Victor the bear, a world

dead in his trailer outside of
the small town of
Wadesboro, N.C. He was the
apparent victim of heat pro

was undefeated in over 5000
career fights he was facing
one of the biggest challenges
the night of his death, when
he was to face Bill “The
Strangler” Lide from Atlan-
Atlanta, Ga. Victor was said
visibly upset when anyone
mentioned the upcoming
match with Lide and his
handlers believe that it might
be partly to blame for
Victor’s unexpected and un
timely death.
