Compromise By The College Press Service College student loans might be much harder to gei next year if Congress approves the federal "budge summit" compromise reached Sept. 29. The compromise, worked out by President George Bush and congressional leaders over four months ol tense negotiations over how to bring the federa budget deficit under control, hopes to cut $500 billior in spending over the next five years. The plan includes saving $2 billion from the student loar program. Supplemental Loans for Students, Parent Loans foi Undergraduate Students, Stafford and Perkins loam would all be affected. "I would just expect a lot of angry students," saic Kathy Hicks, controller at Eastern Montana College. Before becoming law, however, the entire Congress must approve the budget package. On Oct. 4, House Democrats, upset over the plan's cuts in Medicare spending, threatened not to support it NOTHING IMPRI AN EMPLOYER DROPPING OU ?nnni cm UVliUUL IJ f UJ ONCEINAWjj |||j& ? ^^^gjplpr' S fjt: .?>>: ?- .

Consequently, no one really knows how many of the approximately six million collegians who use financial aid will be affected by the compromise. School financial administrators don't seem worried about the provision that would affect them the most: the 30-day delay of payment of government student loans. * "We would probably extend that (the 30 days) to them (students) gladly," said Lynn Holaday, associate vice chancellor for fiscal operations at Appalachian State University in North Carolina. Eastern Montana's Hicks conceded the provision, designed to stop people from fraudulently collecting loan money and then leaving campus without ever at tending class, would mean "there would be some technical types of things that would need to be worked out" so the school could get along without some of its tuition money for the first 30 days of each term. )RITY RESERVATIONS FOR UARY THRU JULY 1991 I ussell House Lottery ERY FOR REGISTERED DENT ORGANIZATIONS >, 1990 - 1st Ballroom Date - at 9:00 AM. 1990 - 2nd Ballroom Date - at 10:00 A.M.
