A growing defense is fed with the / funds of social programs; the financial aid program would not be an exception. A lot of Columbia students felt the first blow of Reagan's financial aid cuts passed by Congress in 1981. Guaranteed Student Loans and Pell Grants were reduced or fro zen across the board whereas Illinois State grants were guaranteed for only ol1e semes ter. Columbia launched a campus-wide letter writing " campaigns to Congress dema"nding more federal funds we allocated to student needs. Similar efforts by campuses around the country curbed further cuts, and many grants and loans were restored. We students may not have anyone to fight our financial aid " war" this time. If Congress considers reducing the federal government's skyscraping deficit ,over ' vetoing Reagan's student aid proposal, next year that war will leave 2.5 million casualties, CPS re ports-needy students who will lose their college fundir.g. Most ruthless in Reagan 's proposal sub mitted in February ·is the call to freeze fund ing for remedial education, handicapped ed ucation and bilingual learning programs. How will these special Americans ever func tion in our fast-paced society without such basic help? The Reagan administration wants to re duce the amount of federal funds used to subsidize banks which make loans to stu dents. This money would keep interest rates to students low while allowing the banks to make a profit. Without the subsidies, stu dents loans will become few and far be tween. Students with family incomes would be de nied Pell Grants, National Direct Students Loans and College Vl!ork-Study funds. When you consider a base tuition rate of over $10,000 for Northwestern University, a pre med student with a family income at $25,100, could not afford to attend even on a work-study basis, now eliminated. Rather this student would have to attend another college and even be forced to change majors. College drop out rates would soar. This eQuid hit home to Columbia students as well. With a per semester tuition rate of near $2,000 this year, students of large families, within this family income bracket would find it hard to attend here. We have a suggestion for the Reagan ad ministration. We challenge anyone of them to give up their wealth and put one more of their college-aged children through plus four years of college while maintaining the rest of their family. All of the rules applying to low and middle-class income families will apply to this trial situation, including infla tion and job scarcity. We bet the student aid proposal now before Congress would be re called and more compassionately written. Columbia Chronicle 600 S.
