./ The Michigan Daily-Thursday, February 7, 1980-Page 3 wr._ x ... .*~...*.*** Booze, *not draft, concerns MSU * students EAST LANSING (UPI) - While President Carter's draft registration proposal has stirred protest on many campuses, Michigan State University students seem more interested in regaining drinking rights than fighting the military. Hundreds have rallied against the draft at the rival University of Michigan, but there has not yet been one protest disturbing the peace of picturesque, tree- lined MSU campus. NEARLY 400 students responding to a phone-in poll, conducted by the campus newspaper, the State News, said they favored the draft while only 109 said no. "There has been no push from students to do anything about the military draft," said 22-year-old Bruce Studer, president of the MSU student body. "The move to petition.to lower the drinking age is our main priority right now," the Shelby native said. STUDER SAID he does, however, expect the student governing bpdy to soon adopt a policy op- posing the registra 'on and draft and demanding deferments for colle b students. The Public Intere t Research Group in Michigan (PIRGIM), which oiganized the rally in Ann Arbor, hopes to hold one in East Lansing next week. Just how militant the protest will be remains to be seen. Organizers reportedly have considered holding the rally indoors figuring it's too cold to march around outside. THE CAMPUS mood is one of apathy and wait and see, Studer said. If the world crisis with Russia gets worse, he said, some students will enlist or go to Canada, but most will allow themselves to be drafted. "There's a lot of worry out there," he said. "Nobody wants to be drafted, but they're not willing to fight it." "This is not the 60s any more, its the 80s and it's too much trouble to go out and protest," said Bill McGin- niss, 22, from Dearborn. Kevin Rushton, 21, a senior in foreign relations from Grosse Pointe said, "I think a lot of people would enlist. It's not going to be another Vietnam." "I would allow myself to be drafted for a non- combat position as a secretary or a nurse or something, but really I don't think my mom and day would let me go to war," said Carol DeNike, 21,. from Birmingham.

The SSL's one hes his advantage is that, unlike the NDSL, the dent hs student would not have to demonstrate t a threefinancial need to qualify for it. t ANOTHER TYP!, of loan currently available that would be affected by Carter's new budget proposals is the Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL). The GSL is insured by the government, but the student contracts for it through an i intermediary such as a bank, the state, or. the University. The GSL currently carries a seven per cent interest rate, and does not have to be paid back until after the student graduates. Congress recently passed a law that frees a student of having to prove financial need to qualify for a GSL. Carter's budget proposal would ex?, eliminate the GSL, and replace it with loans from the new Basic Loan cert, Program (BLP). The BLP would be granted on exactly the same terms as the GSL, except that students would again have to demonstrate financial Aud. need to qualify. According to Zimmerman, fewer Aud. students would apply for federal loans under Carter's program. "It would cost too much . . . The additional cost (of the SSL) would be significant because of the higher interest rate," he said. nion RECENTLY THE University has seen an increase in the number of loans it has granted. University students were given $12.6 million in loans through the GSL program during .the tate, last school year. The total for the current school year is expected to ex- ental ceed $25 million, according to Zim- merman. Viet- Applications for Work/Study em- ployment have decreased recently, as and loan requests have gone up, according cian to Zimmerman. LANSING (UPI) - House Speaker Bobby Crim yesterday blasted Gov. William Milliken's 1980-81 budget proposals, saying they are out of balan- ce by nearly $160 million. In a news conference, the Davison Democrat also predicted legislation now in the works - plus reform of the workers' compensation system - will cost the state nearly $200 million more. "THIS LEAVES me to believe we have an unrealistic budget in terms of what has been recommended," he said. Crim said the state Department of Social Services has already exceeded Milliken's projections. "Social service caseloads are going up at a rate of 1,000 a month," the speaker said. "This means a cost'of $2.3 million per thousand, and we're already 10,000 over Milliken's estimate." HE ALSO criticized the governor's plan to use federal energy assistance money to pay for increases in Aid to Dependent Children programs. "Number one, the bill hasn't passed yet, and if it is, I don't know that we can Do a Tree a Favor: Recyle Your Daily welcomes you to SUNDAY BRUNCHES with complimentary champagne from 11:30 to 4:00 Also, we would like to introduce our new place to you with the same pizza recipe as Thanos Lamplighter. From 4-11 on Sunday nights, our pizzas will be /2 price and there will also be special beer prices. We wait to serve you starting Sunday, Feb. 3 WEDNESDAYS are BEER NIGHTS use the money in that fashion," Crim said. But the speaker said he will not sup- port new taxes unless Milliken does. "THE VOTES aren't there," Crim said. "It has to be a bipartisan effort." Milliken's proposed budget for the fiscal year beginning in October totals $4.9 billion in general fund spending.
