State financial aid faces cuts

On Monday, The Dallas Morning News reported that state-funded fi- nancial aid for college students is set to drastically decrease for the up- coming year in light of the impending budget cuts. The TEXAS grant pro- gram was established in 1999 and currently provides aid for about 113,000 Texas students. Under the proposed cuts only one third of TEXAS grant applicants who apply for the grants would receive them. Tuition at both public and private universities across the state has con- tinued to increase while, at the same time, funding becomes less accessi- ble. Currently, only 28 percent of Texans hold a college degree, one of the lowest rates in the country, and the state has a vested interest in making higher education accessible to every citizen. Texans should have a right to pursue a college degree, especially con- sidering the drastic impact that a degree can have on one’s life. Even re- cent conservative estimates have calculated that over the course of a life- time, a college graduate will earn about $280,000 more than a non-gradu- ate. Current Texas residents deserve the chance to earn a college diploma without accumulating a lifetime of debt. Investment in higher education also has long-term benefits. An educat- ed populace makes Texas an even more attractive location for businesses. As emerging industries place greater importance on education and train- ing, a degree will become an even more necessary component of a quali- fied job applicant. While the expected cuts are in many ways unavoidable, the Legislature should consider the consequences of further reducing financial aid, both on the current generation of college-bound Texans, and for the long-term health of the state.

Capitol guards will carry M4 semi-automatic rifles

Students interning at the Capitol will notice a slight aesthetic change when they return from the Labor Day vacation — semi-automatic rifles. Part of a package of enhanced security measures in response to a Janu- ary shooting, some state troopers around the Capitol now carry M4 semi- automatic rifles instead of .357 magnum handguns, according to The Dai- ly Texan. We worry how visitors to one of the city’s top tourist spots will respond to such intimidating weaponry, and we question the necessity of such a visible show of force. “We hope the sight of the guns will help people feel safer,” Lisa Block, a spokeswoman for the Department of Public Safety, said of the new weapons. But state troopers have carried visible firearms around the Capitol for years, so the sight of guns is nothing new. While an M4 semi-automatic ri- fle looks more foreboding than a .357 magnum, that wouldn’t deter some- one irrational enough to threaten the Capitol in the first place. Be involved in public service X-ray machines and bomb-sniffing dogs are reasonable security mea- sures that can make Capitol workers and visitors feel safe — without making the building feel like an armory.
