    Graduate students currentlyreceiving ederally subsidizedStaord loans will see an over-all increase in the cost o theireducation starting next July. Aspart o the Budget Control Actpassed by Congress in August, theederal government will no longergrant subsidized Staord loans tograduate students, requiring themt pay a addta $32 ut their own pockets, according to

    Elizabeth Murphy, assistant direc-tr aa ad.

    Te legislation eliminates the

    subsidy that covers the interestthat accrues on the Staord loanswhile the students are enrolled inschool. When the change goes intoeect in July, only unsubsidized

    Staord loans, which accumulateinterest at a rate o 6.8 percent,w b aaab t graduat stu-dts.

    We are certainly not happyabout it, said Jim ilton, director aa ad.

    But ilton also said the changes t as sr as t may tayseem under the current loan

    program, only $8,500 o themaximum $20,500 that gradu-at studts a brrw pr yarcan be subsidized. Te remaining$12,000 accrues interest while the

    In honor o Constitution Day, theJaus Frum hstd a dsuss

    Friday on the constitutionality othe Patient Protection and Aord-able Care Act, bringing to campuswhat some now reer to as thebroccoli debate. Te lecture pit-ted Randy Barnett, proessor oga thry at Grgtw U-

    versity, against his ormer tort lawproessor, Charles Fried, proessor aw at Harard.

    Te act requires all people notcovered by a health insurance pro-gram to purchase coverage or paya ne. Since its implementation,

    the acts constitutionality has beenhagd may stats.

    In a February hearing beoreth Sat Judary C mmtt,Fried deended the constitutional-ity o the mandate when asked th at was t gay ak tCongress orcing people to eatvegetables, Fried said Congress

    cannot compel you to eat yourbroccoli but they can makeyou pay or it, and thats a big,big dierence, he explained inth tur.

    Barnett began the debate onFrday, spakg t th rwd students and proessors in Salo-

    mon 101 about the dierence be-tw dray madatd at

    and inaction, which is what mostdra aws rguat.

    Its t as thugh th dragovernment never requires you todo anything, Barnett said, point-g t dra tas ad th draas amps. H addd, Eah these duties is necessary or the

    prat grmt ts.According to Barnett, the

    governments claims that health

    care is somehow unique andthereore legal to regulate are notbased in the Constitution. Allow-ing Congress this mandate wouldgive it unlimited power, which

    s quat t a p pwr.Te mandates deenders are

    claiming, because Congress has

    the right to dra you into the mili-tary ad mak yu ght ad dr yur utry, t has th rghtto do anything less than that,Bartt sad.

    Barnett concluded his argu-ment by predicting that the Su-

    prm Curt w utmaty tdown the mandate, though he saidh bs th t w b s.

    Fried began his argument pre-dtg th ppst utm.

    I thk thrs a gd hathat th Suprm Curt w up-hold the mandate by a vote oeight to one, he said. Te onevote is Justice Clarence Tomasand that is because Justice Clar-

    ence Tomas has been or a de-ad urgg a dt m-merce which is a very narrow one.H b prty prpd adperectly consistent and perectly

    rrt.Ever since the New Deal, it has

    been quite clear that i an activ-ity or a system has a substantial

    eect on the national economy,th grmt has th pwr trguat t, Frd sad.

    Te real market is not themarket or health insurance itsthe market or health care, Friedsad. It s smpy as t say that

    any substantial number o personshave not at some point in theirs, ad w t at thr ptsin their lives, enter the healthcaremarkt.

    Unless you were born at homewithout the help o a midwi e andyour mother severed the umbilicalcord with her teeth, you are a part th markt, h sad.

    During a proessional ootballkut that was marrd by am-calling, stubbornness and greedarr ths yar, th y thg thowners and players could agree onwas that tba ds t b sar.Bth th shrt- ad g-trm -ects o head injuries have hung overthe league during the past ew sea-sons, shortening and ending playersarrs ad s.

    At a s mptt pg-

    sk udg Iy Lagu t-ball the question is the same:What can be done to make ootballsar?

    Researchers hope to answer thisquestion by analyzing the results oa recent study conducted by Brown,Dartmouth and Virginia ech. Testudy, led by Joseph Crisco III, pro-ssr rthpads at th Ap-rt Mda Sh, gathrd dataover the past three ootball seasonsrom the schools respective ootballteams. Players were equipped withspecial helmets containing sensorsthat measured the requency and

    violence o hits in order to learn

    more about concussions, the spe-cics o which continue to eludedtrs.

    All we know is that, i you have(a concussion), you are more likelyto have another, Crisco said. Iw dt udrstad th psur,w at udrstad usss.

    T study shwd m su-r th mst rqut bws t thhead, while running-backs arepredominately the most violently

    hit. Te recording o these impactswas just the rst step or Crisco andhis team as they moved the projectrward.

    Its unlikely that there is a singlevalue at which someone gets a con-cussion, Crisco said. Looking at

    the injury data is the next step. Teresearchers will be searching orsimilarities in the orce and locationo hits that resulted in a concussion.

    Crs sad h hps th studywill be able to recommend saerprats ad qupmt r t-ball players, but also that he believesequipment and technology can onlyg s ar.

    Its unlikely that there will everbe a helmet that can prevent a con-uss, Crs sad.
