...loss of all Western financial support, which totals over half of the UNESCO budget, could threaten the body's valuable work--helping disadvantaged people in poor nations through education and self-help programs. Granted, there is a need to redress the communications imbalance, but to do so with a document that threatens freedom of the press, splits universal support and spells potential disaster for a worthy international organization seems absolutely foolish. UNESCO would be wise to see the proposed "new information order" for the facade for government control of the media that it really is. Otherwise, it could wind...
...practice of tacking monetary penalties onto financial aid students--up to $400 can be transferred from grant to self-help funds--has predictably drawn criticism, and Malin acts partly apologetic, partly defensive about the innovation. Though "we would never have dreamed" of charging penalties during his tenure, the new system has reduced later registration "vastly." down as much as 50 from a previous 100 and a ripple effect bon of the knowledge that "we've started cracking the whip" is expected to have even greater psychological influence "by the time we get the senior class out of here."

Williams, 39, a flamboyant investment adviser and the author of the popular self-help manual How to Prosper in the Coming Good Years, is making his second bid for a Senate seat. He lost the 1978 race to Democrat Max Baucus in a nasty fight. This time the campaign is gentlemanly clean.

Roughly $350,000 of the $550,000 already in Melcher's war chest comes from outside the state, mostly from 150 political-action committees, prompting some Montanans...
Financial aid officers, though, say their formulas have always tended to create larger and larger self-help contributions as students move up. For instance, a student's expected summer-earnings contribution (slightly up this year) increases in a set pattern: Rising freshmen and sophomores must save and contribute $900, juniors $950, and seniors $1000. And this year, with total expenses rising $1600 from last year, an agreed-upon $300 was passed on to each student's self-help package along with other adjustments, according to Elizabeth M. Hicks, associate director of financial aid. "We are not pulling...
...public college. Another element of Damplo's situation, while not uncommon, tends to complicate matters with the financial aid office: Because of high costs and numerous siblings, she splits all costs with her parents fifty-fifty, a method with which Harvard's system of determining grant, family contribution, and self-help package does not necessarily coincide...
