  • Clinton proposes service plan INSIDE THIS ISSUE: Classifieds 8 announcements Editorials 3 Entertainment 7 CROSSWORD PUZZLE COMICS Events 7 calendar Features 4 MOVIE REVIEW News 1 public safety Sports 6 In an effort to save natural resources The Western Carolinian is now printed on recycled paper. Karen Neustadt College Press Service President Clinton's national service programhas drawn criticism from some educators who fear it might cheapen the moral value of community service. Other educators say they are betting the plan will fire up student altruism. The national service program will give college loan credit in exchange for students' work, before or after college, in projects such as rebuildingneighborhoods, cleaning up the environment and tutoring disadvantaged children. The White House wants 25,000 students participating in service projects in fiscal year 1994 at a federal cost of $400 million. The numbers would grow to an estimated 100,000 students in fiscal year 1997 at an annual cost of $3.4 billion. Many details, however, still need to be worked out. Patricia McGuire, president of Trinity College in Washington, said she has ethical questions about trading off community service to absorb student loans. "My concern is that the value of service as a moral teaching tool will be diminished if it becomes a means for reducinga loan burden," McGuire said. "It would be wrong for the Clinton administration to present the opportunity to do service primarily as a way to reduce student loans." Sister Nancy Bramlage, assistant director for social concerns at the University of Dayton in Ohio, said she would welcome the plan if it blends the school's existing service programs with the proposed federal program. "I am hoping they recognize the fact that already much is being done. I hope they will support that, and not come up with a completely new program — then they would be competing" with service-oriented colleges, Bramlage said. The White House, which will release further information on the program in the next couple of months, is enlisting support from the college community as it attempts to push the plan through Congress. "It is a simple message to the college student: This is their program, it is designed with their input, their creativity, and it is based on the knowledge that they can change this country to meet the unmet needs out there," said White House spokesman Ethan Zindler. The new initiative will trade one or two years of community service for financial assistance and will most likely affect the neediest U.S. students. Zindler said the program will channel funds through the states into service organizations and programs, many of which already exist on campuses. "These programs come in a lot of shapes and sizes. Our program hopes not to impose a new federal bureaucracy— like having everyone out there in jackets that say 'U.S. Government.'The whole point is to take the greatprograms and encourage them to continue and grow," Zindler said. "There will even be seed money to inspire young people to start their own programs. These will be called 'service entrepreneurs.'" President Clinton speaks to group of students about his proposed service plan. McGuire, of Trini ty College, said the plan puts too much emphasis on service instead of basic financial problems. "Too many college presidents are talking about service instead of talking about the hard question, which is, 'Why does it cost so much to go to college?'" she said. The program also emphasizes aid to the neediest students. It's not fair to deprive middle- and upper-class students of the opportunities to serve the community, McGuire said. "We are missing the boat if we key a service program to financial need," she said. "It is the wealthiest among us who should give the most." One-quarter of the Trinity College student body is involved in some community service, McGuire said, noting that Catholic colleges are traditionally involved with issues of social justice. Bramlage, of the Universityof Dayton, said federal officials have already contracted her about the national service plan, inquiring as towhetheraparticularprogramcouldbeexpanded to accommodate 50 federal service students. Because the program in question was designed for only 12 students, UD officials refused the offer, but are hoping there will be more. Interest in community service on the UD campus is at an all-time high, with 25 service clubs handling hundreds of projects, Bramlage said. "(The program) would be a good motivator for students who want to do the service, but they can't keep up with studies in a work- study job. If they got some kind of payment, it would work," said Bramlage. Bramlage said she looks forward to working with the federal program. "We could use the financial help," she said, noting the number of UD students committing to a year of postgraduate volunteer work would grow rapidly if they could count on the compensation.
