Aj(j Continued from Page 1 Anderson believes that the new program may help students after graduation but would prefer to see the government modify existing programs rather than spend the effort to create new programs. "If the government wants to reduce student indebtedness, a new loan program may not necessarily be the answer." Anderson said. “What students may need is an increase in grant money and other financial aid. "Instead of reducing in debtedness. the government has been increasing the total amount that can be borrowed and increasing the amount ow ed." he added. The furor over students defaulting on their loans is somewhat exaggerated. Ander son said. ”1 think we put too much em phasis on percentages. There may he an 8 or 9 percent default rate, but what about the 91 per cent that are paying their loans? •‘Overall. 1 think we're doing well." Anderson said. Anderson believes the government will try to em phasize cost containment by limiting financial aid. he said. This will lead to some institu tions going under because they do not increase their tuition, while others will become mom frugal, he said. Jeff Lee of the Oregon State Scholarship Commission has some fears about the new pro gram. he said. "It is perhaps one of those theories that looks good on paper, but doesn't work in prac tice." l,ee said "Students may have a tendency to borrow more than they really need, and cer tainly more then they can af ford. We encourage that. We of fer them the money, and perhaps students are not fully aware of what repayment will be like. "Students are not the cause of defaults, the programs are." he added.

Valley River Center mer chants took in about $120 million in sales last year, while downtown merchants rang up about $100 million. Brink said. Although Brink admitted the $20 million difference is substantial. “It's not the huge gap that a lot of people probably would perceive it to be.” Some of the stores in the two shopping areas do attract the same market, such as downtown's The Bon, which may attract people who also shop at J.C. Penney's and Meier ft Frank in the mall, and the Sear's store downtown, which draws the same audience as the mall’s Montgomery Ward store. Brink said. Dick Hansen, the maid's general manager, said the renovation made the mall airier and added new storefronts, a fast-food pavilion with 11 restaurants and new landscaping. The 17-year-old Valley River Center eventually will gain about 20 more stores, bringing the total to about 120. Some expansion also is taking place downtown like the remodeling of the public space in the downtown mall. One of the downtown mall's, most successful elements is its "streetscape" atmosphere, allowing shoppers to walk nest to stores, Brink said.'It is an aspect more and more malls are incorporating into their designs, he added. "The really important aspect of successful retailing is the merchandise." Brink said. "What shopping centers have recognized maybe better than downtowns is that stores really do make the difference."
