COLLEGE COST GROWTH RATE WILL SLOW DOWN,ACE PREDICTS\n\nAlthough the cost of going to college is not expected to drop over the next fewyears,a new report estimates the rapid growth rate in college costs wil1 slowdown.  \nBetween the 1986-87 and 1988-89 academic years,total college charges at bothpublic and private institutions should increase by only about 5.5 percent an-nually,according to a policy brief released this week by the American Councilon Education(ACE)。Those would rank as the lowest growth rates since 1978-79.  \nThe prediction provides a striking contr ast to the current school year,inwhich student charges are estimated to increase 6.9 percent--even though theConsumer Price Index inflation rate is estimated at just 3.7 percent.  \nWhat's more.during the 1983-84 academic year.the 1ast year for which complete cost data were available from the EducationDepartment's Center for Statistics,college costs increased 7.3 percent,withthe_same 3.7 percent inflation rate:And the increase in college costs reached  \n11.5 percent during the 1981-82 academic year.  \n\"Now,times look better,at least on the surface,\"writes Cathy Henderson,aWashington,D.C.,education consultant and author of the ACE policy brief.  \nYet,she cautions,\"it is highly unlikely that college costs wil1 grow slowerthan,or even at the same rate as,inflation for the remainder of the decade.\"  \nLow Inflation Base      Henderson based her predictions on several variables,Including estimates for a continued low inflation rate through 1989,project-ions that national unemployment levels will remain between 6.5 percent and  \n7.5 percent over the next few years and continued increases in state highereducation expenditures.  \nMajor changes in the inflation and unemployment rates undoubtedly would have aneffect on college costs,the study says.  \nMoreover,Henderson writes,\"dramatic cuts in need-based federal student aidprogr ams could also upset the fragile balance between efforts to keep chargesas low as possible and pressures forcing them to rise.\"  \nThe Reagan administration's fiscal 1987 budget is asking for just that.Theadministration's budget proposal would cut federal student aid by $1.7 billion,an amount ACE's governmental relations office says\"would eliminate or reduceawards for over 3 million students.\"(more)  \n# COLLEGE COST GROWTH RATE WILL SLOW DOWN,ACE PREDICTS(Cont.)\n\nSeveral factors,beyond inflation and unemployment,contributed to the increas-ing tultion,room and board fees charged to students over the past decade,according to Henderson,and those wili pressure\"institutions to continue toraise their tultion at rates above inflation.\"  \nThose factors include the need to increase faculty salaries,which dipped wellbelow the inflation rate during the 1970s;erosion in the purchasing power offederal student aid,which dropped by 16 percent between 1981-82 and 1983-84;and the efforts to fmprove educational quality,which mandated increased pur-chases of scientific and computer equipment.  \nFree copies of the policy brief are available from ACE.Division of PolicyAnalysis and Research,One Dupont Circle NW,Washington,D.C。20036,(202)939-9450.--Bill Reinhard  \n# SALLIE MAE's OVERALL COMMITMENTS DOWN IN 1985,BUT STUDENT LOAN FUNDS UP\n\nTotal loans and commitments offered by the Student Loan Marketing Associationdropped slightly in 1985,according to the association,despite an increase indirect funds for student loans.  \nThe association,known as Sallie Mae,provided some $3.6 billion in funds forstudent loans during 1985,an increase of 33 percent over the $2.7 billion infunds provided in 1984.That represents funding for almost 1.5 billion in-dividual student loans,  \nHowever,\"forward purchase\"and advance loan commitments from Sallie Mae,usedby lenders to fund future loans,decreased from $4.3 billion to $3.4 biliion,bringing the total loans and commitments outstanding in 1985 to
