College aid will be harder to get
LINCOLN Thousands of Nebraska
college students who depend on fed
eral aid to help pay their expenses will
have a harder time obtaining aid next
fall, college officials said.
The financial squeeze could force
some students to drop out of school
and leave others in doubt until the last
minute, officials said.
Among the factors leading to re
duced student aid are:
O The Gramm-Rudman deficit re
duction law, under which schools could
lose $244 million in student aid this
year and more in 1987.
O Action by Congress and the U.S.
Department of Education that would
stop Nebraska schools from putting up
money to match federal Student Incen
tive Grants to private colleges.
O A reduction in payments the
Omaha Tribe S
seeks land
OMAHA The Omaha Indian Tribe,
which won 2,200 acres in a court battle
over who owns land along the Iowa side
of the Missouri River, has asked a fed
eral judge to award it 4,190 more acres.
The white people who occupy the
land and the state of Iowa say they own
the land and the tribe's request is
without merit.
The tribal suit awaiting action in
U.S. District Court is the latest in 10
years of tribal attempts to gain posses
sion of 1 1,300 acres of cropland, timber,
hunting and recreation lands near Black
bird Bend.
The land, northwest of Onawa, Iowa,
is across the river from the tribal reser
vation in Macy, Neb.
The case has national implications
because the final court ruling might be
cited in other land disputes between
Indians and whites, tribal attorney Wil
liam Veeder said.
The legal battle began in 1975 when
Omaha tribal members moved onto the
Iowa land and planted corn and soy
beans. The Indians said the land be
longed to them and that whites who
lived there were squatters.
The tribe said the land once was on
t he west side of the Missouri River, but
that a sudden shift in the river's course
put the land on the east side.
Whites said the river changed course
gradually over the years, washing away
Indian land and creating new acreage
which the whites leveled, planted and
farmed.
federal government makes to banks as
an incentive tor them to make low
interest student loans.
O Tighter federal regulations that
could send more students scrambling
to prove that they really need financial
aid.
Private colleges will be hurt the
most by the student aid cuts, said
Nebraska Wesleyan University Presi
dent John White Jr.
Eighty-five percent of Wesleyan's
students get some form of financial aid,
he said. Thirty percent of the students
come from homes where incomes qual
ify them for federal aid based on finan
cial need.
Under a proposed bill in the legisla
ture, the state would provide about
$160,000 to match federal student aid

Grants to private colleges in the state.
Until now, the state has only provided
matching funds for federal grants to
public institutions.
At UNL, about 15,000 of the 24,000
students got a total of $50 million in
some form of aid last year.
Don Aripoli, UNL financial aids
officer, said students needing financial
aid will suffer if government cutbacks
cause banks now offering low-interest
student loans to pull out of the loan
program.
The Gramm-Rudman law will have a
drastic effect on student aid, said Larry
O'Mera of the Nebraska office of the
Higher Education Assistance Founda
tion. The foundation guarantees more
than $500 million in loans from Nebra
ska financial institutions to 227,000
students.

"IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME TO HAVE
MY CONTACT LENSES FITTED PROPERLY.
Like most people, I'm on the go alot. I tried contact lenses a
few years ago and was never really happy Wearing contacts
helped my vision but they became a hassle because of the mild
discomfort and occasional fuzzy vision.
I asked several of my friends who wear contacts to recom
mend a specialist, and most of them recommended Dr. Powell
