COLLEGE PRESS EXCHANGE
CHICAGO ? More than 300 students
descended on Congress earlier this year
to lobby.
At issue is the federal government's
direct student loan program, and it has
created a political fight that is spilling
into the presidential campaign.
In April, the student association at
the University of Oregon voted in a
campus referendum to ban promotional
activities by bank card companies that
support elimination of the program.
At the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, students unsuccessfully
tried to oust members of the school's
board of directors whose banks feel

Recently, a large consumer action
group added to the tempest by issuing
a report claiming banks would get a $2
billion windfall if Congress voted to
torpedo the program.
"It has been one of the issues that
has driven up the level of student activism

legislative director for the United States

represent 3.5 million college students.

students, more than 43 percent, to take

Even some opponents of direct lending
acknowledge that when student loans
were the exclusive domain of the private
sector there was waste, inefficiency and
even fraud.But the current argument
is that the government's better

into greater efficiency, so now the
government should get out.
