DRINKING AND DRIVING CAN KILL A FRIENDSHIP. PAGE& March 24, 1986 Columbia Chronicle Gramm-Rudman slices education The Gramm-Rudman-Hollings bill is causing drastic cuts in federal student aid. Some of these cuts arc a necessary evil and should be accepted. Hopefully. only the most needy students will keep receiving financial aid and people who really should not be accepting federal money will not be provided a chance to acquire it. Gramm-Rudman will bring healthy changes to the Pell Grant program in fiscal 1986. A ' 'linear reduction·· of the Pell Payme nt Schedule and the cuts forced by Gramm-Rudman would mean that only the neediest students (those with a student aid index number of less than 200) will receive fully funded Pell awards in the 1987-1988 academic year according to a news release from the Washington office of the college board. Other students would receive reduced awards or be excluded from the program. A ··multiple dispersemcnt system·· may also be a valuable change in the guaranteed student loan program said Ray Pranske. director of financial aid at Columbia. This system would prevent a student from borrowing a la rge sum of 1'0011<)' at the beginning of the fall semester and then 001 re-enrolling in the spring. Instead. the students would receive half of the loan in the Fall semester and the O!her half in the Spring.

A. Columbia lacks a hang-<>ut. We need a focal point where students and teachers from different departments can get to know each other. B. The Michigan building basement lounge is j ust that. a basement lounge. The ceiling is too low. It's an oppressive place. Bright lights shine everywhere, but one always has the feeling of being in a dungeon. The ceiling is high enough in the lobby of the Wabash building, but students there look as sad as puppies in a pet shop window. The benches there offer little comfort and. more important, these students have no social excuse. like eating, to make passing time there comfortably justifiable. Neither place attracts teachers. The Harrison Grill and The Pub attract Columbia people, but only by defauh. They are next door, relatively cheap, but, although we arc their mainstay, the management of neither establishment has made much of an effort to serve our needs. Both are squalid dives that no one would go out of their way to patronize. C. Columbia needs a cafeteria. With a captive audience of 6.000 hungry mouths to feed, we should have little difficulty attracting a food service to provide the capital to build the kitchen. One floor of the Michigan Avenue building would suffice. The seventh would be the best candidate. That's where the old student lounge was. The food will have to be good enough to attract teachers. and cheap enough that students can afford it. The menu would not have to be the notorious grease and gravy fare of college dorms. D. The concession would be lucrative enough to appeal to a more healthy. perhaps smaller, food service conglomerate. A cafeteria would greatly improve the quality of life at Columbia. E. It could also he! extend the lifes an of some Columbia le. The a ve perspective Jtona , e ast o rec regar, mg Letters to the Editor is by Peter Coogan, a senior journalism student at Columbia. Writing department tutor Former instructor has comments I read your article about the te nsion in the Writing/English department comments on coverage in the Columbia Chronicle (3/10/86) and have several comments. -To the Editor: - - Firstly, I was not simply. "Tired of being treated like a hired hand.'' I wish to thank the Chronicle for its broad-minded anicle about the Writing Depanrnent tutors. For a major pan but sick and tired. of the Fall semester, I was not sure if Columbia was a "liberal" or " political" arts schooL It was obvious that As for Mrs. Shiflett's contention that teaching had always been a there was a great tension in the Writing Depanrnent. This hindered my freedom of speech. I agree with former problem for me, her endless meddling and righteous disapproval of any tutor Ed Moore-! don't like the feeling of being in the middle of a war. I felt, last semester, that anything I teaching approach outside the canon of Story Workshop orthodoxy is well would say in disagreement with certain people's opinions in the Writing Depanrnent would endanger my education known. She has said the very same thing about many teachers with superb and job. writing credentials. Concerning her further assertion that, " John (Schultz) Besides dealing with the problem of the payrate for the tutors, the March 17 article also brought up a different and I were infinite to his writing"- whatcver that mcans- Mr. Schultz and issue: the changes in the Writing Department. It is no wonder that changes are being made. The problem is not Mrs. Shiflett were always keen to brag that they were the making of my some defect in the Story Workshop Method. The problem is the frightening fact that public schools are graduating first novel, Close Quarters (Farrar. Straus & Giroux. 1977), as if all I did students with little, or no basic composition skills, and Columbia, being an open-door college, is tackling the task wa.s type it up for them. They have provided very skimpy help to my of teaching these people. By my own experience, as a student and a tutor, the Story Workshop Method is an wnt1ng career srncc: there is more to writing a novel. completing it. ingenious and highly effective way of improving writing skills. The CCLM award for Hair Trigger 8 is proof finding a reputable publishe r, etc .. than Story Workshop in-class writing enough. The method, however, works at its most effective level when the student already has a grasp on grammar exercises, some glib side-coaching and handy comments. and a semester 's and punctuation skills. If the student passes Writing Workshop I and D without knowing where the comma goes, one-hour conference. Columbia will be reflected poorly when that student applies for a job. It is certainly true that Mr. Allegretti was promoted over my head. His The Story Workshop Method is a valuable pan of Columbia College. Without it, we would watch the wonderful temperment and attitude are well suited to the heavy-handed and doct visual talents of students in every depanrnent diminish. But this method should not be forced on anyone. Those rinaire administration Mr. Schultz and Mrs. Shiflett suppose essential. who wish training in strict basic skills should have the opportunity to choose a more traditional and less advanced And finally, I invite Mr. Allegretti and your readers to consuh the course. American Heritage Dictionary for the definitions of " literary" and I hope, when the compromise is finally made in the Writing Depanrnent, when everyone's individual ideas can "amateur" and then to apply the combined definition to a comparison of be shared, that the many talents who have disagreed in the past will once again unite, with the strong attitude that my writing credentials and his, Mr. Schultz's and Mrs. Shiflett's. We are "you can help everyone." In that case, we would make up a Writing Depanment twice as strong. either professionals who do what we teach, or we are not.
