would be cut by $2 billion; special ed¬ ucation by $50 million; and child nutrition programs by $772 million. * The state objective of those who crafted the 1987 Education budget is to eliminate direct aid to students who can 'afford* to ?pay it themselves. Under GRH. families with incomes below $23,000 would be eligible for Pell grant and those with less than $58,000 would be eligible for a guaranteed loan.
If the budget cuts in direct aid like Pell grants affected students by reducing the number of reciepents. and through no other way, then the result would not likely reduce numbers of higher income students only, then more funds might possible become available to the low income student and therefore blacks. There are other possibilities that must be examined. Grant g awards could be administered so that the amount awarded to any given recipient while the total number of aid awards stavs consistant. The likely result in this case will be a combination of these two effects. Awards will go to fewer applicants and the average amount award will likely fall. This effect is virtually guaranteed because a new proposal requests that financial aid recipients pay college costs of at least $800 a year and limits the amount of a grant to 60 percent of college costs. Because of this combination of decreasing the supply of grants and rationing the amount of indi¬ vidual grants, the actual incidence of this policy will not be income neutral and therefore cannot be race neutral. 'This would force students to borrow or
pay greater amounts of their college costs. Some will simply not be able to afford to pay and/ or will not be able to borrow. In addition, minorities, who- may expect a lower financial return on educational investments, will be adversely affected as the proportion of costs that must be borrowed or spent out of family income increases.
Another proposed policy change would further cripple students who wish to borrow. It calls for an increase amount that can be borrowed annually under the guaranteed student loan from $3,000 to $5,000. at the same time it reduces the federal guarantee to private lenders from 100 to 90 percent. This will make private lenders scrutinize prospective borrowers more carefully. According to a study by the American Council on Education detailing the use of major federal aid programs by low income students, such students have increasingly been using guaranteed student loans. This is probably closely tied to the diarmingly low-and in some cases decreasing-growth rate of black enrollmentin higher education. The new education budget policy would continue- and possibly accelerate this trend.
In summary, GRH will probably have little effect on the educational resources delivered to black elementary and secon¬ dary school students, but will probably have an adverse effect on black higher- education enrollment among lower- income students; and it will greatly increase the financial burden upon upper- and middle-income families, who will have to borrow more Finially. because of cuts in job training and vocational education, these alternative opportunities for blacks will also decrease.

their progress. During the visit Rankin conducts Village seminars in scientific gardening in the vernacular or English, as the situation demands. From 8:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon, villages are taught by the lecture method, and in the afternoon Rankin and his team help people in their own gardens. "We do actual demonstrations in someone's
garden," says Rankin, "but at the same time not throwing out the way it is normally done."
The graduates are not only trained to grow their own food but to grow more food.
College leaders have decided that because the garden program is so successful, Solusi will incorporate it into its four year degree in agriculture. According to Rankin, however, the peasant farmer will not be neglected, because of the important role he plays in feeding the nation.
