16,1985  \nThe National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities(NAICU)hasbegun an aggressive campaign to win approval of its proposal for changing thePell Grant formula,a sticky issue in reauthorizing the Higher Education Act.  \nThe proposal,which would divert more Pell Grant money to low-income studentsfrom middle-income students,was the subject of a news conference NAICU heldyesterday in Washington,D.C.  It also is the topic of a videotape NAICU Isusing as a lobbying tool to win over association members and Congress.  \n\"I think it's fair to say that this lobbying business is a lot like a political  \ncampaign,\"NAICU President John Phillips says atthe end of the videotape。\"You never know which  \nReauthorizationcontact is going to make the difference.\"'85NAICU is going ahead with its lobbying despite aplea last month by Rep.William Ford,D-Mich.,chairman of the House Postsec-ondary Education Subcommittee,that the three higher education groups advocat-ing different Pell Grant formulas get together and agree on a compromise。  \nPhilosophically,the three groups,NAICU,the American Councll on Education(ACE)and the American Association of State Colleges and Universities(AASCU),agree that Pell Grants\"should be targeted more effectively on the needieststudents,\"according to ACE President Robert Atwell(HED,May 2).  \nUnder NAICU's plan,Pell Grant eligibility would be based on a two-part formu-la:a maximum of $2,100 would be awarded for half tuition,fees and book expen-ses to eligible low-and middle-income students;plus a living expense allow-ance up to $2,100 to be awarded to only low-income students.Those eligiblemust come from famlies whose income is equal or less than 150 percent of theropoverty level.  \nUnder ACE's plan,the maximum Pell Grant would be increased to $3,000 and ad-justed automatically thereafter to reflect increases in college costs.TheAASCU proposal,however,suggests the Pell Grant limit be raised to $2,600 for1986-87 and $200 more each succeeding year.  \nUnder NAICU's proposal,middle-income students receiving $200 to $600 PellGrants would be dropped from the aid plan,Phillips said.  \nNAICU has plunged ahead to promote its plan even as the three work on a compro-mise.Phillips said yesterday his group considers its plan to be a compromise.(more)  \nVol.13,No.160  \n# NAICU EMBARKS ON CAMPAIGN TO PUSH HEA PROPOSAL\n\nHEA—_  \nHEA—_  \n     August 16,1985  \n# NAICU EMBARKS ON CAMPAIGN TO PUSH HEA PROPOSAL(Cont.)\n\n\"We are continuing and continuing in very good spirits\"to work out a compro-mise proposal,Phillips said at the news conference.\"There is no working com-promise agreement\"yet,he said.  \nCharles Saunders,ACE vice president for government relations,declined to com-ment on the NAICU strategy.
