Kidwell Sports Editor: Daphne Hartt ' Assistant Copy Editor: Jason Eck Feature Editor: Heidi Branstator Photo Editor: Vivian Johnson X I Copy Editor: Tracy Hobbs Wednesday, October 14, 1992 just prior to the signing of this bill, he explained that not only would the changes made to the ‘Higher Education Act’ make fi nancial aid more available to middle income students and stu dents of middle income families, but also help “rid fédéral aid programs of fraud and abuse.” One target of the bill was to weed out sham schools and stu dents who default their loans, through need analysis and higher academic standards. This will be done through what is termed as a “gatekeep” program which will ensure that only schools of a high quality participate. Minimum standards are set on students en tering the various financial aid programs. The bill will also make lower- middle income students more eligible through need analysis by not taking home or farm equity into account when looking at a student’s or family’s assets. In re moving home and farm value from need analysis, it is expected that many who did not previously qualify for federal aid previously may be eligible by this summer. The application process for those seeking financial aid is expected to be simplified during the next year. The amendments to the Act require the simplifica tion and standardization of. all forms used in the financial aid process. Other changes which will make the whole application proc ess, including differences such as, families eaiming less than $50,000 a year will be able to use a shortened need analysis form. One otherpraise which Bush mentioned of the bill, in his speech, is that it will be easier for part time students who are returning to the work force to retrain. “We used to think of educa tion like measles vaccines...something we only did when we were young,” said Bush. “Today, education never ends.” Opinion: Picnic tables go up in smoke by Frank Jordan ing ban in all campus buildings, time and energy to take the darn Staff Writer for one term.
