The Kesgan administration's proposed cuts in
federal aid to college students would not only
keep potential students from entering ec!i?ge,
but would hart the nation by decreasing employ
ment options for young peep!, said the director
of scholarships and financial aid at UNL.
Den Aripoli said he thir.ks it would be a mis
take to cut aid to students because higher edu
cation is one cf the foundations cf a free society.
"I think one thing that makes a capitalist
society viable is that young people have the
freedom to become mobile and choose career
patterns that make them happy," Aripoli said.
"Cuts in aid would take away that choice and
disillusion many students." .
A Reagan administration source said Saturday
the president plans to ask Congress to limit
federally guaranteed loans to students whose
hzslly ir.cor.es Ml below $22,603 per year.
Experts estimate about 450,000 students would
become ineligible 'for the tens if the celling is
set at 132,500.
If approved, the ceiling would go into effect
, for the 18SS-87 school yea. Best's fiscal 1888
' budget proposal also Includes a $4,000 ceiling on
yearly federal aid to any student, regardless of
need, and would limit eligibility for Fell Grants
:to students whose family Income is $25,000 or
less. Pell Grants are federal 'payments to needy"

year , An estimated 150,000 students with frr.l'.y
Incomes above $23,000 received Pell awards last
year.
Aripoli said he didn't know hew many UNL
students would be afeded by the proposed cuts,
but he said the cuts would have a "substantial
impact" here. About 12,000 students receive
some form cf financial sid at UNL, he said.
Aripoli said he sees student aid as an invest
ment in the nation's future. The government
more than recovers its investment, Aripoli said,
through increased career opportunities for its
citizens, and from the taxes received from peo
' pie who are gsfrsMy employed.
"In my view, these proposed cuts are the
antithesis of what a free society is about," he
said.
Aripoli said he plans to make his views known
in Washington. He urged concerned students to
do the same.
. "As long ts people make their positions
known,' some of these proposals won't go through,"
Afipoli slid. "But if people are complacent, they
will go through." .
Aripoli ssid he expects student organizations
at UNL to fight the proposed cuts. He said stu
dents can make their views known through the
Nebraska State Student Association and the
Assoditien ' cf Students of the University of.

-. The Committee tor Fees Allocation followed
its subcommittee's advice last week and voted
down a 13 percent increase in next year's Daily
Nebraskan Fund A stipend.
At first, the subcommittee's report recom
mended the $5,000 increase, which would bring
the Daily Nebraska's Fund A stipend to $44,193.
Out it withheld approval of its own proposal to
ensure the incresss will benefit UNL students by
improving the Daily Nebrsskan'soverail quality.
"A 13 percent increase is i lot," said sub
committee member Kha Kyies. "W couldn't
come up with a total justification for it in such i
time." she mm.
The proposal still could be approved through
appeals to CFA in a few weeks.
Daily Nehrsskan General Manager Daniel.
Shattil had presented a budget request at m
earlier CFA meeting that asked forno increase in
student fee support Revenue from increased
advertising sales would compensate for addi
tional expenses, ShattH said. . .....
But CFA's subcommittee said' that miit
mean fewer campus news stories.
"We don't feel it's working right. We need to
male the usa of student fees worthwhile," said
subcommittee member Sarpy Batra.
Student fees for the paper are now 94 cents a
semester. The rejected proposal would increase
individual rates by 12 cents,
. If approved in appeals, the increase would
bring advertising space dot.ii from 50 percent to
43 percent on average In the daily paper. It also
would pay for an extra page a day during the
second semester and the summer, when adver
tising revenues are down.
.. In a few weeks, Shattil and Daily Nebraskan'
Editor in Chief Chris Welseh will appeal to CFA
presenting the proposed budget with a report on
how the money for the extra pages will be used.
In other business, CFA approved the budget
request cf the Nebraska State Student Assoda-'
tion. NSSA is a statewide student group that
lobbies 'for student issues on the state and
national level...,- v
UNL students pay 50 cents a semester as part
of their Fund A student fees ia support of NSSA.
The fee is the same in other Nebraska colleges
that belong to NSSA, Including Wayne, Chadrcn
and Peru State colleges and UNO. ' -
