The SGA proposal will probably not be what the alcohol policy becomes because the final decision ic IISP's Hnwp.ve.r manv eronns will have a voice in the decision, so it's likely the new policy will be a blend of the old policy and the proposed one. "Something in the middle between what we're doing now and what the proposal is will probably meet with everybody's approval," Brewer said.

A member of the House of Representatives who teaches a course beamed to 150 sites around the nation from a public Georgia college has raised questions about mixing politics and academia. House Minority Whip Newt Gingrich, a conservative Republican who represents Georgia's sixth district in suburban north Atlanta, teaches a course titled "Renewing American Civilization" to 150 undergraduate and graduate students at Kennesaw State College at Marietta. The course, which began Sept. 18, is being broadcast by satellite to various sites around the nation. The format involves a series of lectures by Gingrich on his vision for saving the country's moral and economic structure. Gingrich, cofounder of the Conservative Opportunity Society, is widely known for his conservative ideas and opposition to what he terms Clinton implen By College Press Service WASHINGTON, D.C. ? President Clinton signed into law a scaled-back version of his plan to promote national service among youth in exchange for federal help with the high cost of .a college education. Under the National Service and Community Trust Act, students could work for up to two years, making $4,725 annually to pay for college or pay off existing loans. Students also would earn a minimum wage salary as they perform service in a variety of social service and environmental settings. During the 1992 presidential campaign, Clinton envisioned national service as a way for all students to attend college. But his plan fell victim to various budget pressures, and the package ultimately approved by Congress is expected to reach only a fraction of HEEl Oper doortc future aUM] Fulfill vour droams with an MBA from tive programs such as our one-year I graduate business degree and our 1 students without a business degree, the opportunity to pursue two comple Finance and International Busin Marketing and Computer Inforn Health Administration and Hum Marketing and Strategic Manag Accounting and Computer Infor With our dual degree Masters in Ir will earn an MBA and a Master of S< with a guaranteed internship in the c< specialty.

BOX n's class rais ?> politics, ac "the welfare state." The Gingrich-Kennesaw State joint venture raised objections among students and faculty who were concerned about a state-funded school offering classroom space and support services as a platform for a politician. Criticism intensified when it was discovered that some funds for the class were received from GOPAC, a Washington-based Republican political action committee that is chaired by Gingrich. Supporters of the course accuse course detractors of attempting to muzzle the outspoken politician under a cloak of "political correctness." In addition to funds from GOPAC, the 10-week class is bankrolled by foundations and priiroto r?r\mnoniAe tbot KouP r*/~\n _ vaiw vuutpauivj uiai xia?v vv/n tributed to Gingrich's various political campaigns. There was more concern when it was revealed that GOP AC was involved in the planning of the curriculum of the ients national s< the 5 million college students who currently receive financial aid. Nonetheless, the president, at a White House ceremonv Sept. 21, touted the new plan as an important starting point to instill in youth a tradition of service. "I hope, believe and dream that national service will remain throughout the life of America not a series of promises but a series of challenges across all the generations and all walks of life to help us rebuild our troubled, but wonderful, land," the president said. To underscore the importance of the occasion, Clinton signed the bill with pens used by Franklin Roosevelt to create the Civilian Conservation Corns, a Depression era service program, and John Kennedy to create the Peace Corps in the 1960s. The bill authorizes $300 million in 1994 to cover about 20,000 participants in the program. The bill ithe )your :with MBA. UM.

Among the corporate contributors to the course are Turner Broadcasting Co., the Employer's Policy Institute and Cracker Barrel restaurants. The restaurant chain has been boycotted by gay rights groups for its policy that it won't hire gays and lesbians. Documents have revealed that the EPI gave $25,000 to Gingrich, and praised him for including in the curriculum promotion of minimum-wage jobs. "If the Sierra Club did exactly the same thing for their values that (would be considered) wonderful, and it would be a positive story, warm and glowing and fuzzy," Gingrich said. "But the fact that somebody who believes in the private sector and believes in jobs wants to make sure that if they're going to support it, that the course is talking about the private sector and jobs, that's somehow dangerous." ^.rvir.p. nrnoram ^x i jl v v x WXAA sets a goal of $500 million in funding in 1995 and $700 million in 1996 to recruit a growing number of students. In addition to receiving minimum wage and college aid, participants will receive health insurance and child-care assistance if applicable during their service period. The bill passed the House early in August by a vote of 275-152. Senate Democrats broke a Republican-led filibuster of the bill late in the summer and eventually approved the measure by a 57-40 vote Sept. 8. Even before the bill's signing, Clinton kicked off his national service effort earlier this year with a "Summer of Service" for 1,500 students. These youths helped immunize children, rebuild communities and clean the environment at 16 programs in cities including Boston, Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York and Philadelphia. ? - : ' : ;: ::: ! ; ..... . .
