"President Clinton is working hard to strengthen the

he said.
Said Madeline Kunin, deputy secretary of education:
rhis is a defining moment in this country. One agenda
making government more streamlined. But there is a
dated agenda of switching values.
"The Clinton administration is saying, 'We're going to
mtinue to expand (access to education).' Another agena
is saying, 'We're going to narrow the future.' Access to
igher education changes your future."

"Taking away subsidies, capping programs, makes it
more difficult for students to attend college," Kornfeld said.
The direct loan program, by eliminating subsidies paid
to banks and guarantee agencies under the Federal Family
Education Loan Program (FFEL), eliminates the middleman
of other student loan programs and reduces the
interest paid on a student loan, Riley said.
"We have, through out direct loan program, offered the
opportunity for millions of young people to borrow money
at lower costs on better repayment terms in a way that is
less hassle for college and universities, less paperwork
and actually saves the government money because we
take out the middleman," Clinton said.
the demolition of University Terrace resulted in a halfmillion-dollar
loss for housing. The establishment of the
Residential College will cost housing $7,500.
Luna said the design of new apartments will begin as
soon as the Board of Trustees gives its approval.

GREEKS continued from page 1
One of the features of S.C. State's
Greek Week is Switch Day, when members
of a sorority or fraternity draw
names of a different sorority or fraternity
and wear a T-shirt from the other
organization.
Tor example, a Delta (Sigma Theta)
will wear the letters of a Zeta (Tau Beta),"
Corbett said.
The Greeks will sponsor a picnic, volleyball
match and tug- of-war. An exhibition
step show and talent show are also
in store for the week.
The events of the week and other
Greek events are designated to benefit
the Orangeburg community, Corbett
said.
At S.C. State, there are eight fraternities
and sororities, whose members
live both on and off campus.
Dues for Greeks range from $300 to
$700 per semester.
Greek Week at Arkansas is in the
fall.
Last semester, one of the most popular
events was the Dinner Swap, in
which fraternities and sororities visited
each other's houses for dinner.
Other events of the week included
the Greek Olympics, a 5- kilometer run,
Greek Night Out and a quiz game.
Debra Euculano, adviser to Greek
Life, said proceeds from the week go to
the Fayetteville Youth Center and Special
Olympics.

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? The death
ofEazy-E, the "gangsta"rapper
whose music reached into the white,
suburban teen-age market, will be
used to boost awareness of AIDS.
Eazy-E, whose real name was
Eric Wright, died from AIDS complications
at age 31 Sunday, a month
after he was hospitalized for what
he originally thought was asthma.
Proceeds of a big outdoor rap concert
this summer will go in Wright's
name to AIDS-related charities, said
Craig Wilbraham, general manager
of KKBT radio, where Eazy-E was
co-host of a Saturday night show.
