Social Security
cuts hurt 'U'
(Continued from Page 1)
ministration's reasoning behind these
proposed aid cuts falls into three
categories.
FIRST, THE administration feels
that Social Security should only protect
people's incomes when related to
risks-such as death or disability-and
not in the case of a student who makes
the choice to go to college. The key to
their reasoning, claims Grotrian, "is
that the child is choosing to go to
college, instead of being forced into the
circumstance" by unexpected tragedy.
Second, the Reagan administration
feels that the amount of aid students
are currently receiving is in no way
related to their financial need or
academic proficiency.
Last, the administration believes that
"SUPERMAN" HAS BEEN PULLED
FROM DISTRIBUTION AND WILL
NOT BE SHOWN SATURDAY, MAY
16.
Instead, Charlie Chaplin's The
Greet Dictator and Popeye shorts
will be shown Sat., May 16, at 7
and 9:30 at Lorch Hall (below
Crisp).
Sorry for the inconvenience.

aid to students can be better provided
by other financial aid programs, such
as the Pell Grant and student loan
programs.
"IT IS HARD to argue against these
points," Grotrian said. "We've heard
them for the last five or six years, un-
der several administrations. As long as
the administration adequately supports
the existing programs it is hard for us
to mount a strong position in opposition
to the administration's proposal" to cut
Social Security aid.
To those students who rely upon
Social Security educational aid to pay
tuition, Grotrian outlines two alter-
natives. All students have access to a
Guaranteed Student Loan. But, "only if
the student is truly needy," claimed
Grotrian, "will he or she have access to
a Pell Grant or a Supplementary
Educational Grant."
This means that many middle-in-
come students who now receive Social
Security benefits will have to take out
larger loans to finance their educations,
according to Assistant University
Registrar Larry Katz, who certifies
Social Security recipients.
"IT TAKES A long time for one to get
out from under the obligation of a
loan," Katz said. "This makes life
tough when one is facing the job
market."
