confirms the Cia account and explains that the indictment was originally blocked because the department wanted to be sure that no Gray mail threats to expose National secrets would be used in the and to make that determination that possible others say that visits by Ernest then Deputy general counsel of the to Rudolph then associate attorney took the heat off the valuable suspect and As part of the no leaks turned it on the i dont know enough to judge where the truth i do know this if you lie Down with you gel up with no real is can deny that sometimes it May be in the National to do intelligence business with thieves and thugs but More often than not such Equi ties formerly turn out to be in Light of the increased drug traffic across the Rio Grande and with our enforcement officials incensed at the lax investigation by mexican police of the Mur Der of a both our lawmen and our spooks surely wish they had decided to press for the indictment of the corrupt even if his

not just basketball but academically gifted students from the i had already heard the views of heals Joseph the Chancellor of the City University of new Cuny has the largest Black and hispanic student body in the who minces no said the administration Aid cutbacks Are in his View part of a strategy to rigidity the class Structure of by closing Down the main Channel to Middle class jobs for poor that is one but with Georgetown on the country i wanted to know How the administration proposals would affect heals this is what 1 found out half of Georgetown degree candidates of this year received financial that Aid totalled if the Reagan cuts had been in the University thinks of the Aid students 77 percent would have lost an average of some of the loss might be made up by unsubsidized but a firs year undergraduate or graduate student who borrowed from the Bank to make up for the loss of the government guaranteed loan would pay Back 68 percent More Over 10 years than under the old i asked Healy if it was not True that Georgetown and other Well endowed institutions could do More to help its in he financial Aid was 7 percent of our budget in it was 12 percent this its 15 its doubled in a this we raised tuition and 27 percent of that increase is ear marked for student but there is no Way we can fill a million i asked Healy for his Best judgment on the effect of the Georgetown would not go out of he but you would destroy a mix that profoundly healthy for this we would still be Able to handle some poor kids if they applied but there would be a huge Gap Between them and the Rich kids whose family paid their if you Cut million out of the Grants and Loans that Are you would just liquidate the Middle class kid who Bright enough to come to George but who needs massive Gould they make
