[NU Sports] NU Names Morton Schapiro as new President

[Michael Vance]

And replaced them with...?  Did they increase grant money or not just 
make so that if you can't afford it, you can't go there?  If the latter, 
then I certainly hope Schapiro doesn't try to institute something 
similar at NU.  (Disclaimer: I'm not just saying that because I work for 
Sallie Mae.  NU isn't even a Sallie Mae school.)  Loans should be the 
financial aid of last resort, but sometimes they are necessary.
