The Center for Special Studies caters to a small group of students who wish to study in-depth topics not usually associated with a major department. Senior Lisa Brawley (above), discusses her thoughts about cognition and knowledge with her advisor Professor Brockway. Diane Downing and Patty Bates (above right and opposite), enjoy the quiet and solitude of the Center to work on their senior theses, genetics and health care for the elderly respectively. The Center also provides a place for weekly lunches and lectures for small groups. Mitch Mitchell, right, listens to one such lecture given by Biology Professor Williamson. Reality Reaches Through Davidson ' s Glass Dome With President Reagan ' s cuts in federal college programs, students around the country faced even more problems in funding their college educations. Reagan ' s plans include loans, grants, and work-study programs, many of which will suffer extreme cutbacks or total extinction.

Center for Special Studies survives another threatened shutdown Kathleen Stevenson, Davidson would need an extra $840,000 over the next two fiscal years in order to compensate for these cuts. These financial aid reductions will force many students to find additional resources or even to leave campus. Many of the students who receive aid from Davidson have work-study jobs. Reagan ' s budget calls for a 27 percent funding cut in the work-study program, a move which could thus knock approximately 14 percent of the student body out of their jobs. The Commons and other private eating establishments such as Peregrine House, Gus ' s and B and B offer students the opportunity to work regardless of their financial status. These institutions, however, cannot handle the number of students who need money to finance their education. Students are basically left with several options. They can take a year off to work and earn money for school, or they can leave private institutions to attend their state or public schools. Hopefully the move to public schools will not usurp Davidson of many students. Yet. faced with the difficulties produced by Reagan ' s cuts, students may unfortunately find themselves making such moves. ■ Academics 27
