Bereuter speaks with UNL students
about proposed cuts in financial aid
By Eric Peterson
Rep. Doug Bereuter, a Republican congressman from
the First District, came Friday to the Nebraska Union for
what he called a "listening session" about President Rea
gan's proposed financial aid cuts. His visit was sponsored
by the ASUN's Government Liaison Committee.
'The important thing to remember about financial aid
is that nothing is certain," Bereuter said, noting that
congressional passage of the cuts is uncertain. "We don't
know if Congress will even pass a budget."
Bereuter pointed out that some government agencies
will simply continue to function at last year's funding le
vels if both parties in Congress can't agree on a budget.
"That's not a good way to do business," he said.
Bereuter first outlined the proposed cuts and then
asked for opinions about them. Bereuter said Guaranteed
Student Loans would be affected three ways: the origin
ation fee would be increased from 5 percent to 10 per
cent, all borrowers would be subject to "need analysis,"
and "most controversially, graduate students and pro
fessionals students would have to do all their borrowing
at a 14 percent interest rate and begin repayment of the
loan immediately ." He said this loan program for graduate
and professional students does not even exist in Nebraska.
Pell Grants, a program targeted for the most needy
students, would have the maximum grant reduced from
the current $1,800 to $1,400 or $1,600, Bereuter said.
The College Work Study program would be substan
tially reduced and the Supplemental Educational Oppor
tunity Grant would be eliminated, he said.
Bereuter pointed out that since 1960 the 16 percent
default rate for direct student loans is higher than the
commercial loan default rate of 12 percent, and the higher
student default rate is one reason given for cutting the
programs.
"However, the default rate for Nebraska is only 4
percent," he said.
Bereuter gave several reasons for student defaulters,
such as inadequate collection staffs, colleges which don't
make student borrowers understand their obligations and
students who are not motivated to stay in school after
they obtain the loans.
"Despite these instances, I feel the money was brought
to great use," he said. 'There are a lot of students who
could not have gone to college otherwise or would have
had to defer their educations."
Bereuter said some reductions in financial aid to stu
dent programs probably are inevitable.
"I think we're going to have cutbacks in every area,"
he said, adding that some shifts in assumptions about stu
dent aid are necessary.
"We have to get rid of the idea that everybody is en
titled to a loan regardless of income," he said.
Bereuter said he prefers that graduate and professional
students not be excluded from the loan program "without
some kind of phase-out period." He proposed two differ
ent changes than the Reagan administration outlines.
Bereuter said he would limit the family income of loan
recipients, but slightly less than in the Reagan proposals,
and vary the loan amounts.
"Instead of a flat $1,400 or $1,600, there might be
loan amounts on a certain gradient," he said.
