2A - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, February 22, 2001 NATION/WORLD Princeton to turn loans into grants PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) - Princeton graduates in the near future will be able to get their Ivy League degrees without piling up thousands of dollars in stu- dent loans that they will be paying off for years. Beginning this fall, Princeton students on financial aid will receive outright grants from the university instead of loans - a move that is believed to be unpar- alleled among the nati3n's most selective schools. The idea is aimed at making Princeton more afford- able to low- and middle-income students. "I thought their financial aid package was great already, and this makes it better," said Shaka Smith of Miami, a sophomore majoring in molecular biology. The approach is unlikely to spread far, given the millions of dollars in costs. And so far, not even Har- vard and Yale, two of the richest schools in the nation, are following Princeton's lead. Princeton is able to offer the grants because of alum- ni contributions, scholarship programs and its bur- geoning $8 billion endowment, which has grown from $2.7 billion in 1990. At Princeton, about 40 percent of the 4,600 under- graduate students receive financial aid. Tuition, room and board total $33,613 per year, or more than $134,000 over four years. The average U.S. student has to pay back $15,000 after school. Don Betterton, Princeton director of financial aid, said the push to make the school more affordable began in 1998, when the university decided to replace loans with grants for families earning below $40,000. "Our president wanted to concentrate on low- income students," Betterton said. "He had the feeling if our financial aid program was generous enough, we could attract really good students who would have gone to public institutions." FBI en The Washington Post WASHINGTON - The damage from Robert P Hanssen's alleged KGB spy career could be particularly severe because he possessed both access to intelligence information across the gov- ernment and computer skills that made him among the most technologically sophisticated officials at the FBI, three of his former colleagues said yesterday. Two years after he allegedly began spying in 1985, Hanssen served as deputy director of the FBI Intelligence Division's Soviet section, giving him full access to information about coun- terspy activities against the Soviet Union. David Major, who was Hanssen's boss and worked with him for 20 years,; described Hanssen's access as: "Every- assessin thing - all sources, all methods, all techniques, all targets. There's only a few people in counterintelligence that have to know everything. And he was one of them." Major, who served as a counterintel- ligence liaison in the Reagan White House, said the accused spy also had virtually unlimited access to intelli- gence documents from the CIA, the National Security Agency and other U.S. intelligence agencies, giving him "astonishing" capabilities to compro- mise their operations and analytical assessments. With Hanssen in custody at a deten- tion facility in Virginia, FBI agents yes- terday stepped up questioning of State Department employees to learn more about Hanssen's activities there. For the last five years, Hanssen had been an damagec done by spy FBI liaison at State, with access to sen- and Pascal - and created a system for sitive information and many parts of the automating the teletype at the FBI's building.

NEWS IN BRIEF HONOLULU Crewman: 16 civilians were distraction A crewman in the control room of the USS Greeneville, the submarine that collided vith a Japanese fishing vessel Feb. 9, told investigators from the Nation- al Transportation Safety Board that he did not complete his job of tracking &r- by ships'I'ecause he was distracted by some of the 16 civilians aboard. 'e crewman Was responsible for taking observations from sonar operators on the submarin and plotting the positions of nearby vessels on a paper chart. John ammerschmidt, lead investigator for the NTSB, said yesterday the crewman maintained that "he was not able to continue" his plotting "because of the civilians" in the crowded control room. President Bush has called for a review throughout the military of the practice of bringing civilians aboard ships, planes, tanks and bases to observe maneuvers. But that practice is so widespread and valuable to the services' public relations effort that Pentagon officials say they assume it will continue, though perhaps with greater restrictions. As a result of the local examination, for example, the Navy could dgkre some types of ships or risky maneuvers off-limits, and a cap may be p d on the number of visitors allowed to come aboard a crowded submarine at one time. WAS NGTON Clinton relative returns money from pardon Bill Clinton's brother-in-law received nearly $400,000 for lobbying for ,apar- don and a prison commutation that the former president granted on his last day in office, legal sources told The Associated Press. The money was returned yesrer- day at the Clintons' request. Clinton and his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, said they were unaware of the arrangements with Hugh Rodham and were "deeply disturbed" by what had hap- pene. Rodham contacted the White House at least once in connection with one of tl cases, legal sources said. Rdham, brother of Mrs. Clinton, "today acceded to his.family's request that he return legal fees earned in connection with pardon requests," said Rodham's attoihey, Nancy Luque. "Their request, presumably made because of the appear- ance f impropriety, is one he cannot ignore. There was, however, no impropriety in thes atters," Luque said. L al sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the AlP that Rodham, a lawypr, was paid for months of work on the commutation request of Cat os \.ili and eived a "success fee" for helping win the pardon of Almon Glenn BrasW TOWNSEND, Tana. a blue sky, took a Latin oath of I4yal- Bush seeks fundin ty and knelt one by one before the 81-year-old pontiff to receive his increase for schools blessing.

"It's going to be horrible," said Paul Moore, a former colleague who said he considers Hanssen a close friend. "You develop a capability into the other side that puts information into your hands- and somebody comes along and blows that up." Moore noted that Hanssen could pro- gram computers in two languages - C Hansen, 56, has been charged with betraying numerous U.S. intelligence operations and at least three of the FBI's Russian agents over the past 15 years in return for more than $1.4 mil- lion in cash, diamonds and deposits in a Russian bank.

President Bush raised the curtain on hi budget yesterday, promising that he will seek an increase for the Depart- ment of Education that will top that of any other federal department. Bush's proposed 11.5 percent boost in education spending - including a 9 percent increase in spending for elemen- taryand secondary schools - repre- sents a dramatic change within the GOP establishment. For the last two decades, the party has led efforts to eliminate the Department of Education, created dur- ing the Carter administration. And con- servatives are still concerned about federal intrusion into what they see as 'tssentially a state and local issue. But Bush campaigned on a platform :of education reform - including stan- dards, testing and a program that would give parents of students in fail- ing schools up to $1,500 a year to use for tutors or private schools. VATICAN CITY Pope elevates 44 to rank of cardinal Pope John Paul II elevated 44 Roman Catholic prelates from five continents to cardinal rank yesterday, to the delight of a multinational crowd that turned a solemn, ancient ritual into a joyous celebration of the church's global reach. With the pageantry of ages, the new "princes of the church" climbed the steps of St. Peter's Basilica under admonished them to be "strenuous defenders of the truth" and "sure guides" of the faithful. The promotions swelled the College of Cardinals to a record 184 mers and stamped John Paul's doctrinal con- servatism more firmly on the body that helps him run the church and will one day pick his successor.
