The Michigan Daily-Friday, September 10, 1982-Page 27 Music students to teach community classes By GREG BRUSSTAR A new program which starts this month may offer the community music classes in everything from the lute to the harpsichord, according to School of Music Prof. George Cavender. The Preparatory and Community Enrichment program (PACE) will of- fer classes taught by graduate students in string, wind, and percussion in- struments, and in voice, piano, and dance. "WE'VE JUST received official per- mission (from the University) to in- stitute the program," said Cavender, a former director of the University Mar- ching Band. "It will provide enrich- ment for the immediate and surroun- ding areas and is open to everyone." Classes will be offered from begin- ning to advanced levels. Roughly .20 doctoral students from the music school will serve as instructors. "We will use the qualified graduate students that we have," Cavender said. "They will be highly competent instruc- tors." CAVENDER said that the program will start on a small scale and grow with demand. "We're going to stick our toes in the water at first. We'll ex- periment and expand," he said. "We'll augment the program as much as we need to because we don't know the ex- tent of the project." The program will be self-supporting, Cavender said, although fees for the in- struction have not been set. The program will also provide extra income to graduate students who are hard-pressed by cutbacks in loans and financial aid, Cavender added. PAUL BOYLAN, dean of the music school, said the program "has been in the plans of the school of music for at least a dozen years." The program may make up for instruction which has been cut from several public school budgets, Boylan added. PACE MAY offer courses in such an- cient instruments as the harpischord, viola, and lute if the community shows an interest, Cavender said. This story was reprinted from, the Daily' s summer edition.

'U'officials defend student defaults (Continued from Page 26) tributed lower default rates to growing student awareness of the obligation at- tached to a loan. More students now understand, he said, "that those (loans) are indeed borrowing against future earnings." A school can be penalized for having a high NDSL default rate. If a school's rate is between 10 and 25 percent, he school may lose new funds on a dollar- for-dollar matching basis. If the rate is above 25 percent, the school will receive no new funds according to federal regulations. "A DEFAULT is that program only hurts future students," Grotrian said. Both Butts and Grotrian claimed students are not high credit risks. Eighty-five percent of all students have not missed one payment, accor- ding to Grotrian. "I'm not sure we can criticize studen- ts for paying back their loans at the same rate students' parents pay back their personal and business loans," Grotrian added. "On the whole, especially right now, student loans compare favorably with other types of loans," Butts said, citing mortgage and small business loans in particular. "I can't understand why people want to pick on students," he said. "It's not fair to single that group out."
