In addition to the $4 billion for existing aid programs, Carter set aside $700 million in his fiscal 1979 budget as an "allowance for contin- gencies." Powell said this money would be used for the President's new program. Powell also indicated more than the $700 million might be included. Referring to the "contingency" funds, he declared, "I don't know if they cover every penny of the program at this point." D E M O C R A T I C congression- al leaders, who learned about the upcoming announcement during breakfast with Carter at the White House, told reporters the program would be substantial. Rep. John Brademas of Indiana, the Democratic whip, called the President's proposal "a major stu- dent national assistance program." House Speaker Thomas O'Neill said it would be. a new financial as- sistance program that "hits the middle-income group of Americans." He said other programs have been aimed at the poor or the wealthy. A bill by Sen. William Roth (R-Del.), to give $250 tax credits has 50 sponsors in the Senate. The American Council on Education esti- mates that one-third of those benefits would go to families with income above $25,000.

AUD. $1.50 defensive will not substantiate Western expectations that the Soviets would suf- fer a diplomatic defeat,' Vlcko said. "In fact, in Belgrade, the Soviet Union have become the accusers, pro- testing Western infringements of human rights and their attempts to spread bourgeoisie ideas over Eastern Europe," said Vlcko. HE DID, however, mention several advantages that could possibly be gained at Belgrade. "If nothing else is achieved, at least the real culprit, the Soviet Union and its flagrant violations will be exposed. Also, it will show that if the Soviets can't comply to the Helsinki Agreement, then their word in any in- ternational treaty is no good," Vlcko said. Vlcko strongly asserted the Western nations were extremely hopeful of Russian compliance in the Helsinki Agreement but their hopes were im- mediately dashed. "EVEN THOUGH history showed the Russian's reluctance to abide by inter- natioiial agreements, the Western nations still hurried to the conference tables in Helsinki to achieve an agreement," said Vlcko. Vlcko said the optimism generated before Helsinki looks like a "false hope of the Western nations." "The Soviet Union only desired its territorial acquisitions from World War II to be officially ratified and the issue of human rights only to be informally discussed. Those were its aims in Helsinki," said Vlcko. VLCKO ALSO referred to the 1948 Universal United Nations Declaration of Human Rights as another document signed by the Soviet Union and violated by them. "The Soviet Union considered it a paper which has no teeth and carries no sword. Its principles were disregardIed as having never been written," he said. Vlcko then explained how the Soviet Union itself and through its domination of East Europen countries has violated the rights advocated by the Declaration. "For example," he began, "the Human Rights Declaration states the individual's right to emigrate. However, in Czechoslovakia, there are barbed wire fences and security guar- ds. Attempted escape could mean death or imprisonment in labor camps."

THOUGH THE University ranks high in room and board rates among Big Ten schools, Robert Hughes, acting housing director, said "we're pretty far down the line when compared to our sister in- stitutions." He said schools that are more academically on par with theUniver-t sity than those in the Big Ten generally have higher room and board rates. Rates for schools such as Columbia, Harvard, Pennsylvania and Cornell, for example, average more than $2,000. Hughes admitted, however, that most "sister institutions," unlike the Univer- sity, are private schools. The Big Ten schools-primarily state- controlled-face expenses similar to those at the University. "I can't say we're perfectly efficient or provide the nearest thing to the Lord's menu," Snustad said. "But we are self-critical and always look for cost-cutting alternatives." In a nutshell
