9,1985  \nVol.13,No。155  \n# BENNETT'S GSL STATEMENT ANGERS AMERICAN COUNCIL ON EDUCATION\n\nAlthough Education Secretary William Bennett often has angered postsecondaryeducators,his claim that 13,000 students from families with incomes exceeding$100,000 are receiving federal student aid has drawn the most fire.Now thatBennett has repeated the allegation,the American Council on Education(ACE)says it has had enough.  \nCalling Bennett's statement a \"misinterpretation of inappropriate data,\"ACEPresident Robert Atwell,in a letter to Bennett,asked the secretary to ceasemaking what Atwell considers an exaggerated claim。\"It would greatly aid thecause of public understanding if you would refrain from citing your originalerroneous charge,either in the high or low versions,\"Atwell said.  \nBennett made his original allegation concerning the unnamed 13,000 high-incomestudents receiving Guaranteed Student Loans before the House Education andLabor Committee this spring,prompting higher education groups and congres-sional leaders to demand proof(HED,March 6).  \nIn an interview this week with Higher Education Daily,Bennett stood by hisstatements although he said the number of questionable recipients may be as lowas 7,000(HED,Aug.7)。  Bennett's remarks were based on estimates of first-time,full-time freshmen at the University of California at Los Angeles.  \nACE,in cooperation with other higher education organizations,used informa-tion from the Student Aid Recipient Data Bank to uncover only one case in-volving a GSL recipient whose parents make $100,000 or more a year.  \n\"Our own best estimate …is that there is no significant number and neverwas;that there could be no more than 100-200 such cases in the country,andthose due to unusual family circumstances,\"Atwell said in his letter.  \nA spokesman for Bennett said yesterday that he had not seen ACE's letter,buthe did not expect the secretary to retract his statement.--Bill Reinhard  \n# SOFTWARE PUBLISHER OFFER SCHOOLS SITE LICENSES TO COPY SOFTWARE\n\nFor the first time,educational institutions have the opportunity to makeunlimited copies of certain computer programs without fear of copyright in-fringement,thanks to an offer by a national software publisher.  \nEducators have pressed software publishers to grant schools site licenses,nowoffered to some corporations,under which institutions pay a preset price inexchange for the right to duplicate large quantities of software.(more)  \n# SOFTWARE PUBLISHER OFFER SCHOOLS SITE LICENSES TO COPY SOFTWARE(Cont.)\n\nBut officials of the Addison-Wesley Publishing Co.say the Reading,Mass.-basedsoftware publisher is the first to make such licenses available to schools.  \nKen Wasch,executive director of the Software Publishers Association,said fewassociation members have site license policies for companies and none offerlicenses to schools.The fact that Addison-Wesley is taking such an\"original\"step shows it is \"responding to a need in the marketplace,\"Wasch said.  \nAddison-Wesley's new policy was prompted by“a lot of requests from schools andcolleges for real site licenses,not just volume discounts,\"explained JanisMachala,marketing services manager for the company.  \nUndergraduate Friendly      The products being offered under site licenseagreements can be used by undergraduate and advanced high school students andinclude True BASIC,MicroTex,Micro-DYNAMO,Calculus Toolkit and Personal Prob-lems software\"for undergraduate physics.The programs,which normally retailfor $150 to $500,will cost schools from $1,000 to $5,000 each under thelicense agreement.  \nSite agreements would permit faculty,students and staff of a school districtor university to make unlimited copies for use on any number of personal com-puters in the same municipality.Separate licenes are required for facilitieslocated in other municipalities.The agreement is valid until the software'scopyright expires or a new version of the program is released,said BrendaCavallaro,Addison-Wesley field","cbCailEcFH30qe0d","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailEcFH30qe0d","pdf",1214411,"English","# BENNETT'S GSL
