SWAT Th fa raat CAMPUS UPDATE, April 1, 1981, page 2 — Assassins —A Way of Life? AN EDITORIAL Sana yet, another assassin tries ‘to make his mark in history. What manifests in his mind when he deliberately and methodically sets out to do bodily harm to someone? Does he think out the consequences of what will happen to him,,or to the relatives and friends who know him? Just what kind of person is it, who must do this to: earn recogni- tion and a place in history? Is he so dissatisfied with his life and the way. things are going, that he must take someone else’s life? Why doesn’t the person leave the country if he disagrees so much with the way it is being run? True, to many of us it appears that we are on the verge of mass unemploy- ment, war and lack of sufficient funds to survive. But is this a valid enough reason to shoot someone? There are many ways to leave the country if a person is not satis- fied. As for a personal grudge against a prominent person, it should be taken into consideration the time and work it takes to run a country. When the nation tuned in their TV's yesterday and saw the carnage of shooting, many of us were reminded of a murder which happened almost twenty years ago. The majority of the US population can still recall vividly what happen- éd that day to John F. Kennedy and Gov. John Connelly. This was a senseless event which resulted in death. Lately it appears that there is an. open season on people. Shoot- ings occur every minute leaving no one invulnerable to a bullet, whether it comes from a large caliber rifle or a small bore (midnite-special) pistol. It doesn’t matter if the distance is 10 feet, 100 feet or more, a bullet can bea harbinger of destructiveness. s about time that Americans realize they shouldn't kili each- other because of differences. There shouldn’t be killings of any kind, but when it’s between Americans, the act is shameful to our country. Something has to be done about these senseless crimes in this country. “Humane’’ seems to be a word which is used only in the con- text of filling out a sentence. There isn’t any humaness in an action where someone is wounded or slain by an assassin. Lastly, we would like to say, “enough is enough.” We feel We’re not the only ones who think this way. Even family and friends, strangers and news casters are dis- heartened because another promin- ent and well-known American citizen was the target of an assassin. This disgusting garbage of uncaring fot another life has got to stop. Student Aid Programs Threatened Editorial Comment by: Beth Anderson Will you have enough money to attend college again next year? Will you have enough to finish your program of study, be it one, two or more years to complete? These. questions came to mind recently while reading an article in the Alpena News. President Reagan has proposed several cuts to the grant and loan programs that make up the biggest eo of student aid for college studen: While the ae of tuitions con- tinue to rise to meet other edu- cational cuts, the President is pro- posing cuts to funds that made it. possible to meet these expenses in the first place. Many students tely gn BEOGs — Basic Educational Opportunity Grants — to cover up to half of their school expenses. Reagan has asked for cuts that will drop maximum grants from $1,800 to $1,200, which will make a significant difference in student ability to meet expenses. On the other hand, while it would seem logical to bolster the loan programs, so as not to decrease. student enrollments, he is also making cuts in these areas. The two loan programs are NDSL — National Direct Student Loan Pro- gram — and GLS — Guaranteed Stu- dent Loans. The NDSL is a low in- terest loan and this year $100 million has been cut from the pro- gram which means 100,000 stu- dents won't be able to use the NDSL program. It has also been proposed to phase out this program completely during the Reagan administration. Meanwhile, the GSL program is in peril of having its interest rates raised from 9 percent up to 18 or 19 percent combined with a tight: ening of the loan policies. The raise in interest above will cause the repayment of $7,500: to go from $11,000 to. 13,000 in interest and principle. i Is the picture looking a little bleak? Well, there is still something: that can be done.
