THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, October 6, 1965 | Grits Loan Plan | Worries Experts OTTAWA (CF)--The Bladen) report on higher education ex: presses misgivings about two atudent aid programs advocated by the Liberal party. The commission of four -ex- perts says it is worried about over - dependence on student loans as opposed to non-repay- able: aid. It adds that tax concessions to students and their parents would be more effective and more easily administered than "the much discussed proposal for 10,000 national! scholar- ships," Both the loans plan and 10,- 000 scholarships of $1,000 each annually were promised by the Liberals in the 1963 election, Prime Minister Pearson prom- ised Tuesday that if re-elected his government would allocate $10,000,000 annually for student scholarships, After four years the fund would increase In line with the population of the 18-24 age group, Mr, Pearson also promised Sept, 24 to boost the $40,000,000 student loan fund set up a year ago, ADD WORD OF CAUTION , The Bladen report recom- mends that the loan fund be! expanded 'as becomes neces:| sary" but adds words of cau-| tion; | "We are worried by the high proportion of student aid in the form of loans and hope that other forms of aid will slow down the growth in the volume of federal student loans, There will surely remain an important role for such loans in the next few years." The commission recommends| that government cash grants to university and college students be boosted fo $245,000,000 in 1975 from about $40,000,000 last year. The provinces would continue to contribute the majority of the aid, The two levels of government should account for more than 80 r cent of the student ald bill, ving less than 20 per cent to business and other private don- Ors, the report says. In the first year of the Can- @da Student Loans plan, loans totalling $26,400,000 were made to 42,500 students in nine prov- fnces. Quebec received a $13, 000,000 tax abatement and anes inte ite awn Bel aS mped the money-t loan fund, The commission recommends higher income tax deductions for parents with sons or daugh- ters at university, The present regulations are inadequate and "perverse in giving most to those who need it least," At present a parent can de- duct $550 from his income for each child attending university and earning Jess than $950 a year, A parent with a taxable income of $2,000 gets @ tax re- lief of $110 while one earning $25,000 saves $275, A 'survey by the commission showed that university students received about $53,000,000 in bursaries, scholarships and loans from all sources . in 1964-65. Of this amount, $39,000,000 came from the federal and pro- vincial governments, Loans to- talled about $25,000,000 and grants $14,000,000, Not included in the aid statis tics were the $10-a-month youth allowances begun a year ago by the federal government, This program will cost 'an estimated. $46,500,000 this year but benefits only those aged 16 and 17 who stay in school, Most college students are over 17, The commission calculated that the cost of going to college in 1964-65 was an average of $875 for those living at home and $1,260 for those away from home, If costs continued to rise at the current annual rate of three per cent, they would reach $1,200 and $1,740, respectively, in 1975, About 80 per cent of all stu- dents needed outside help. The report says most univer: sities appearing before the com- mission expressed concern over students' '"overdependence" on loans, Five arguments against loans had been voiced: Students who plan to enter!jine.by-line scrutiny of the uni-|in Quebec, lower paid professions can ill afford to graduate with a bur- den of debt, Loans are more accessible to the rich than to the poor.

Running Short Of Brains Serious Canada Problem OTTAWA (CP) -- Canada Is funning desperately short of brains, the Bladen commission ba higher education warned to-| jay. « The commission reported that the shortage of doctors, den- tists, scientists and universit lecturers is causing concern al- ready and threatens to get worse unless there is a massive increase in government aid to education.
