...will have to complete for a tighter market of students because of a drop in the college-age population--a large portion of which is cynical about the value of a degree in a world marked by rising tuition and cab-driving Ph.D.s. Compounding these problems is the Reagan-Stockman offensive against federal spending, which will chop away at college budgets throughout cuts in grants and student loans...
...White House press conference, David Stockman, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, accused the Democrats of "singing the same old tune of higher spending," and Treasury Secretary Donald Regan added, "They've seen the light but they want to stay in the tunnel." They had a point: to preserve funds for social programs, the Democrats are relying in part on other "savings" that seem highly questionable.

They are especially angered that David Stockman, head of the Office of Management and Budget, spent the Viet Nam War years in divinity school. Says Robert Muller, executive director of the Council of Viet Nam Veterans: "Stockman has treated us with arrogance and with contempt." As Muller sees it, the Government and the Veterans Administration have not lobbied hard on behalf of the Viet vets because they are more committed to those who served in World War II and Korea. Those veterans are more interested...
