...funds that even the colleges think a student's family should be capable of providing. Tales abound of families borrowing more low-interest G.S.L. money than they actually need for tuition and using some of it for other investments. The Reagan Administration says it wants to cut the program to provide for only the "truly needy...
Other student loan programs-notably those that are administered by the colleges-have collection rates as high as 98%. Reynolds argues that instead of being cut, as Reagan proposes, the G.S.L. program should be controlled by colleges rather than banks. This change would help guarantee that the loans would be applied toward real need and eventually repaid. Otherwise, says Reynolds, with costs continuing to spiral (next year's tuition and board are scheduled to jump to $9,000), Bates and other colleges may have to start basing admissions on ability to pay.

For each $1 that Grady spends on a Medicaid patient, the Federal Government contributes $2, under a sliding scale that permits Washington to help states with low per-capita income more than wealthier ones. Unfortunately, that ratio works in reverse when funds are reduced. Says Michael Yelton, director of public relations at Grady: "For every dollar we do not receive...
