John Doe According to the lead editorial appearing in the March 21, 1994 issue of Newsweek, “Increases in college costs have become so extreme that at least one-third of qualified high school graduates cannot attend college due to lack of money. In the future, this uneducated group may well be a drain on the economy as a whole.” James Humes, Prof. of Education at USC, published his research on the subject in the professional journal, Higher Education, in September He concluded: “Loan programs do not encourage students to attend college since the high financial burdens they place on students seem to put college opportunities beyond any but those whose careers are the very highest paid.” Writing in his 1992 book Financing Education, James Froude--Prof. of Public Finance at M.I.T., explained: “Careful examination of state finances and the likely prospects for private programs to expand convincingly reveal that only the federal government is in a position to assure access to college to all qualified high school graduates.”
