Bell charged yesterday that the news media and "almost hysterical" critics have misled students into believing little federal aid is available for college this fall. "We're not emasculating the student aid program," Bell told reporters in his first press conference in three months. His department will spend $4.3 billion to help people attend college in the year ahead, he said. "These are (not) draconian cuts," said Bell, who also denied rumors that he plans to resign. Despite tighter eligibility rules imposed on Guaranteed Student Loans last fall and new curbs the Reagarradministration is seeking, Bell said, a record number of students and parents will get some type of subsidized federal loans for the 1982- 83 school year. .New tables, published today in the Federal Register, indicate that students attending an average private college costing $6,885 could still Record number of families will receive financial aid, 801 l says Official sources also reported marchers jammed streets in the northern port of Gdansk where Solidarity was formed, but eyewitness accounts were not immediately available.

He repeated the British assertion that raids on the Stanley airfield , were carded out by a single Vulcan bomber and Harrier jets with Harriers also hitting a second airstrip at Goose Green, and not by helicopters. Argentina rejected the latest effort at diplomatic settlement a new peace plan offered by Peruvian President Fernando Belaunde Terry. The governing junta in Buenos Aires claims the plan was suggested by Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. In Washington, State Department spokesman Dean Fischer said "statements from Argentina have not been encouraging." British Foreign Secretary Francis Pym wound up a three-day trip to the United States, where he conferred with Haig and held talks at the United Nations, with no sign of progress toward a diplomatic solution to the crisis. "Argentina must now make the first move,". Pym said before.leaving New York for London. "They started this, they•iklvaded the , . . The Argentine Joint Chiefs of Staff said the General Belgrano was torpedoed southwest of the Falklands near Isla de los Estados. Argentina protested the attack 50 rg,iles outside the zone, but Britain said it was justifienecause the Belgrano presented " a considerable threat" to the Royal Navy armada sitting off the archipelago. Before the Argentine announcement that the cruiser had sank, British Defense Ministry spokesman lan. McDonald said it had been severely damaged. had enough lifeboats for all the crew, but rapid rescue operations were imperativd because "you cannot survive long in an open boat in those waters." The Argentine navy had sent ships "to provide help if necessary" to the General Belgrano, .torpedoed near Isla de los Estados (Island of the States) off the tip of South America and outside the 200-mile war zone declared by Britain around the islands.. The 13,645-ton warship was the Argentine navy's only cruiser and the second largest ship in the fleet behind the aircraft carrier 25th of May. It was the former U.S. Navy cruiser Phoenix, which fought in World War II and was sold to Argentina in 1951. On the diplomatic front, a new U.S.-backed plan to settle the Falkland, Islands crisis was receive a full $2,500 Guaranteed Student Loan if their family's income was nearly $40,000. At the same time, students at the average public, four-year college will not be able to get a full $2,500 loan if the family's income exceeds $30,000. But those from families making up to $36,000 could get a loan of at least $l,OOO. Those figures assume the student is from a two parent family of four, with one child in college. Colleges will consult the new family contribution scheduleS to determine which students from families earning between $30,001 and $75,000 are eligible for Ihe loans. Those whose families make above $75,000 must file a separate financial statement disclosing assets to see if they qualify. The education chief said federal student aid has become "too generous" and should be scaled back. "The more you rush in with mega-federal dollars, the more you start pushing people aside and depriving them of the privilege of earning their own way, which in and of itself is a strengthening experience," he said. Please see related story, Page 6 Critics are "alarmed and apprehensive and almost hysterical about it and because of that, some students are making decisions not to go on to school at all, when, indeed, they could still afford to do it if all of our proposals were adopted," Bell said. "I really think maybe the press and the electronic media have been just a little bit slanted," he said. The administration does not want to cut off all loans to graduate students, but to shift them from the regular guaranteed loan program to a new auxiliary loan program that charges higher interest, he said. . Some 3.5 million students, including 600,000 to 700,000 graduate students, borrowed nearly $7.8 billion in guaranteed loans last year. They pay no interest while in school and 7 to 9 percent afterwards. The auxiliary loans charge 14 percent interest from the start and most graduate students would have to begin repaying at least the interest in 60 days. They are not offered yet in most states, but "Gestapo! Gestapo!," rallygoers yelled, ignoring police orders to disperse. Then the police commander ordered his officers to fire tear-gas grenades and they charged the crowd, swinging clubs. . Thousands of demonstrators panicked and fled into nearby cobblestoned'streets filled with acrid tear-gas smoke, witnesses said. Police chased the crowd into areas up to a mile away, but hundreds of protesters regrouped and the rout turned into a riot. Witnesses said police fought in the old town with screaming rioters who erected barricades of cafe tables and chairs. They lobbed sticks and stones at helmeted officers charging through gray clouds of tear gas.

Now, those from families with incomes above $30,000 must demonstrate need and borrowers must pay a 5 percent origination fee when taking out the loans. Prt-;irient Reagan also wants to double the loan origination fee•to 10 percent and require students to repay at market interest rates two years after graduation. He also asked Congress to ban graduate students from the Guaranteed Student Loans: neither Republicans nor Democrats has not supported his request. Bell's department estimates that with no changes in the law, 3.6 million students will get guaranteed loans and 666,000 students and parents will take out auxiliary loans for the 1982-83 school year. If the new eligibility rules pass, the department projects 2.9 million guaranteed student loans and 94:3,000 auxiliary loans this year. "' 't e ''' ir • 4 AP Lnserphot
