Opinions The Southeastern Federal Student Aid on the Rise If Senate Committee Bill Approved Christine Tatum College Press Service The Senate Labor and Human Relations Committee approved a bill that would extend the Higher Education Act another five years. The bill, which is expected to go to the full Senate later this month, would increase the amount spent on Pell Grants and would decrease the costs of education loans to students. But its passage is not guaranteed because the Clinton Administration disagrees with s o m e of the bill's provisions, which it says are too generous to bankers. The m a x i m u m Pell Grantforthe 1998-99 school year is set at$3,000, but the bill proposes that that amount be increased to $5,000 in time for the 1999-2000 academic year, and increased by an additional $200 each of the following four years. A m o n g the bill's other provisions: - T h e suspension of student-aid for people convicted of drug offenses. - Wider eligibility standards for Pell Grants. The proposed legislation would net more students w h o are financially independent of their parents and more dependent students w h o work in addition to going to college. The bill would increase from $3,000 to «$4,250 the amount of m o n e y independent students could earn and still qualify for a grant. The bill also would increase from $1,750 to $2,200 the amount of earnings a dependent student could exclude from statements about his or her family's need. - A limit on the amount of time students can receive aid. Full-time students would lose their grants if they remained in school for more than six years. - The forgiveness of student-loan debt up to $10,000 for graduates w h o teach for three years in a school with a large representation of lowincome families. - Extend the amount of time lenders must give students w h o are more than $30,000 in debt to repay their loans. Currently, students have 10 years. The bill proposes they get 25 years instead. - Mandate that colleges and universities disclose to the public more detailed financial information so that students and their parents can m a k e more informed choices. Colleges failing to provide such information would be fined up to $25,000 for each offense. - The authorization of $10 million in grants for colleges needing to improve their facilities to better meet the needs of disabled students. M u c h of a recent discussion focused on another of the bill's provisions, which would lower the interest rates students would have to pay on th©ir loans. Republicans and Democrats agree that the rates should be cut, but they don't see eye-to-eye on h o w to lower them. Republicans have proposed to offset the lower interest rates by increasing the amount of subsidies the government pays lenders to help cover their costs. But Democrats have complained that the tactic would benefit banks at the expense of taxpayers, w h o would have to shell out \ m o r e m o n e y to pay the higher subsidies. April 23.1998 Southeastern Fear Breeds Predjudice Oklahoma State University Box 4237 Durant, O K Jacqueline Baumann There are several causes for prejudice: socialization, self-justification, personality, frustration, competition, and social norms. T o look at h o w socialization is related to prejudice, first w e need to know, "what is socialization"? S o m e say socialization is, "individuals acquiring the values, attitudes, and perceptions of their culture or subculture, including religion, nationality, and social class." Socialization starts at the very beginning of your life, as you are an infant and it continues throughout your life. The attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions of your parents are thrust upon you. Children w h o are impressionable and know of no alternative conceptions of the world, accept their parents' concepts. Parents are older and were raised in a different time than their children will be. Life is constantly changing, and a person must change with the times. Most people have a hard time changing with the time, so they continue to think of h o w things used to be and continue to think things should stay the w a y they always have been. Justification is defined as the act of being freed of blame; the act of being absolved. Therefore, self-justification is justification from yourself and is a form of prejudice. Being led to believe that you are better than another person, you m a y feel inferior to another person. Feeling inferior to persons of another race, color, class, religion, or gender, m a y cause you to maltreat these other people. Because of your belief that you are better than these other people, you have given yourself justification for the maltreatment of these people. S o m e have claimed that if w e are able to convince ourselves that another group is inferior, immoral, or dangerous, then w e feel justified in discriminating against them, enslaving them, or even killing them. Prejudices are not worth fearing for your life. Fear for life is a basic instinct for h u m a n beings. W e m a y fear for our lives w h e n "mother nature" is having a bad day, when w e are on a plane, when w e are on the highway, or w h e n there is no cure for a disease. Others fear their lives simply because they look different from other people. I know this s e e m s odd, but it is true. A w o m a n and her husband were attacked in San Francisco. A gang believed they looked like a homosexual couple and began to beat them up. The gang stopped physically harming the couple when the w o m a n raised her shirt to expose her breasts. A gentleman w a s beaten on a bus w h e n he w a s perceived to be homosexual. This gentleman sued the city transportation department because the bus driver kicked him off of the bus after the gang attacked'him. H e w a s hurt badly and stayed in the hospital for a week. In both of these instances, none of the victims were homosexual. They were treated terribly because they looked different. W h a t does a homosexual look like anyway? A boy w h o looks like a girl? A girl w h o looks like a boy? Is it h o w a person acts? W h a t gives one h u m a n being the right to physically harm another h u m a n being? There is no excuse for physically harming anyone or anything. H o w would you like walking around and feeling as if you were not safe? What kind of world do w e live in when you cannot even feel safe walking around your campus? H o w would you feel if it were you w h o were perceived to be homosexual? , 74701-0609 (405)924-0121 ext. 2696 acting edltor-l chief Shay Jones tertaln m o n t Sunshine Gross ad m a n a g o r Isaac Taylor sports editor Shay Jones staff writer Jacqueline Baumann Carissa Rozzell Kara Stevens buslnei m e nag.

They've asked university officials to block a deal that would save the school $2 million a year on the purchase of athletic clothes, equipment and shoes. The school's senate has agreed to discuss the proposal, as well as h o w advertisements, announcements and other forms of commercialism should be a part of student athletics. Accepting goods from Nile Mike Metheny and his team of Savage baseballers made it 26 consecutive wins amounts to little more than on Tuesday, at home, when they beat out Northwestern. The team broke a school record of 25 consecutive wins held by Coach Don Parham's 1976 club endorsing its products and sying and tied with Metheny's 1981 club. The Savages are now 40 -6 overall. "that w e will do anything for money," physics Professor J.D. Garcia told Scripps-McClatchy Western Service. "The fact that other universities do silly things doesn't mean that w e should." Students w h o are challenging the proposal deal- which university Athletic Director Jim Livengood said is within a few months of completion- are focusing on allegations that Nike runs sweatshops overseas. Under the proposal deal, the shoe and clothing manufacturer would give the university's 18 athletic teams shoes, workout clothes, uniforms and sporting equipment. In return, athletes would be expected to wear and use Nike products during games and practices. THE LATE HARRY CARAY DISTRIBUTED BY TOIBOME MCD4A SERVICES Female Kicker Sues Duke U.
