...report calls for changes in virtually all existing federally funded student financial assistance programs, aimed at their "consolidation and expansion," R. Jerrold Gibson '51, director of the University's student loan office and Harvard's representative to the consortium, said in a news conference last week...
Newark Mayor Kenneth Gibson recently ordered a 25% cutback in budget requests from all city departments. New York City is contemplating trimming 1,510 jobs as squabbling officials fail to agree on whether the city's deficit this year will be $430 million or $650 million.

But by then, Gibson says, he had decided to stay in the Government for a while as Assistant Commerce Secretary...
...Gibson denies that his ties to Interstate would influence the decisions about the oil and shipping industries that he would make at FEA and implies that his troubles are the result of Washington backbiting. "There are people in town who, for reasons best known to them, would like to cut my throat," he says. His problems illustrate the difficulties involved when the Government appoints to a regulatory agency a man from the industry that is regulated. Given the post-Watergate climate, some Senate aides think that the Senate will refuse to confirm Gibson's nomination-if it ever gets...
