The topics of concern
ranged from Social Security to
defense to the powerful Senate
. Appropriations Committee , of
which Hatfield is chairman.
Dr. Hakanson raised the
first problem concerning the
future of student aid. “We’re
very rapidly losing tax revenue,
raising tuition and losing stu
dent tuition aid. We’re turning
the community colleges into
upper-and middle-clàss institu

munity colleges. That was one
of the reasons they were
started.”
Hatfield is not unfamiliar
with the problems facing com
munity colleges. When he was
governor of Oregon, he
chartered twelve such institu
tions.
“When we launched the
community college system in
this state, we didn’t ’ have
federal student aid” the senator
said, noting that the colleges
have grown too dependent on
federal help. “It’s not just the
schools,” Hatfield said, “It’s the
water systems, highway
systems, everyone.”
Hatfield suggested that a
major form of student aid is the
Pell grant, which offers
students a maximum grant of
$310 per quarter. “The ad
ministration has given its sup
port to maintaining the Pell
grant program at as high a level
as possible. It is a top priority,”
Hatfield said.
The senator also sighted a
need to cut waste in the federal
student financial aid. “Let’s ex
