to oppose cuts
in federal loans
By Laura Anne Boozer
Two student groups are encouraging
students to fisht President Ronald Reaean's
proposed cuts in federal student loans.
"The federal government is trying to shift
the burden of student aid from themselves to
the state government. If they do this, the
state government will have to take up the
^ slack, and this is something that they may
W not he nrenared to dn " said DSC Sindrru
Government President Kelvin Stroble.
The state government is currently placing
an emphasis on secondary schools, he continued.
It may not have the ability to help out
the higher education. If this "shift" in
responsibility does take place, it will be the
state taxpayers who will suffer the most, he
said.
About 10,000 students at USC receive
some type 01 iinanuai aiu, such as a reu
Grant, from organizations that are currently
^ being operated by the federal government,
w This amounts to approximately $2 million
that the university receives from these grants.
"If these grants are cut so significantly,"
Stroble said, "many students won't be able
to return next year, not because of the ordinary
reasons like bad grades, but because
of financial difficulties."
in me last election, me siuueni voie was
the largest block-vote cast. "If students will
write their congressman and let them know
that they aren't happy with the proposal, 1
don't see how it could pass," Stroble said.
