First Time
Robbed At
Gunpoint
From t'AKOMNIAN HUH KrpM-t>

No injuries were reported in the inci
dent.
The clerk who was on duty at the
time said, “R was a rather slow day.
The robbery happened around 5:30
p.m. About five minutes before the
robbery, two kids came in. I think
they were casing the shop. After they
both left, one of them came back into
the store briefly and then he left
again. About five minutes after they
left, I noticed a man standing out at
the pole wearing a ski mask. He walk
ed up to the door and came in. Shortly
after he came in, he pulled a gun.”
She said the swan asked'for money t
and she gave him what she had iti the
cash register. “He asked if I had
anything in thp back, and I told him
no. He went out after that.” She said
the robber took less than $100.
the shopkeeper said, “A lot of rob
beries take place in this area that
you’ve probably not heard of. But this
is the only one I have heard of at gun
point. We have a lot of kids around
taking stuff and stealing, but this is
the first incident of a robbery at gun
point I’ve heard of."

Crackdown
On Schools'?
In Program
For years, presidents of black col
leges and universities have been say
ing, “A Mind is a Terrible Thing to
Waste.” But recently they have been
learning that “federal dollars are
also a terrible thing to waste.”
As Capitol Hill lawmakers trimmed
and slashed programs to fit budget
balancing restrictions, caught in the
dead center was the Guaranteed Stu
dent Loan program. After
deteriorating for more than five
years due to skyrocketing loan
defaults, the program’s deficit this
year crested at a whopping $1.6
billion because of three million delin
quent students.
In rsponse to the massive deficit,
Education Secretary William Bennett
quickly announced a major
crackdown on offending schools in the
GSL program which has been a
“workhorse” in helping students at
more than 7,000 institutions.
Benflett’s solution was simple. He
halted ail federal aid program fun
ding to any institution whose student
loan default rate was more than 20
percent.
