On Monday, a White House advisory panel issued a report estimating up to 90,000 deaths from swine flu in
the U.S., mostly among children and young people, calling it "a plausible scenario" for a second wave of
infections by the new H1N1 flu. On Tuesday, however, officials at the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, the agency with the most expertise on influenza pandemics, suggested that the projections
should be regarded with caution.

Sen. Kennedy had a hand in the creation of nearly every major federal student-aid program, from Pell Grants
in 1972 to the Academic Competitiveness and Smart Grants for high-achieving, low-income students in 2006.
In the 1990s, he was a chief architect of the federal direct-loan program. He was also one of the most
reliable defenders of student aid, consistently opposing efforts to eliminate programs and offering dozens
of budget amendments to increase the maximum Pell Grant.

Average national SAT scores for the high school class of 2009 dropped two points compared with last year, a
report out today says. And while the population of test takers was the most diverse ever, average scores
vary widely by race and ethnicity.
Washington Post
August 26, 2009
Four out of 10 students who take the SAT are racial or ethnic minorities, the College Board reported
Tuesday, a milestone for the college admissions test most widely used in the nation and the Washington
region. But scores of the wealthiest students are growing faster than scores of the poorest, and some
racial disparities in test performance are widening.

The Office of Management and Budget's "mid-session review" shows that federal spending on the Pell Grant
Program will be $27 billion higher over the next decade than the administration estimated as recently as
February. The enrollment numbers may hearten administration officials. But the new budget figures would
appear to threaten, or at least complicate President Obama's plan to end the guaranteed student loan
program and use the savings to increase Pell Grant spending and address a slew of other education
priorities.
Baltimore Sun

While SAT scores in Maryland remained relatively stable, the number of students taking and passing an
Advanced Placement exam rose significantly this past school year, reflecting a national trend in the use of
the rigorous high school exams.

The cost of college textbooks has been an issue for years. But as students head back to school, they and
their parents have more alternatives than ever to the traditional campus bookstore. Web sites are selling
books for half-price or less. Other sites rent textbooks for less than the cost of buying. Legislation
passed by the Maryland General Assembly this year is expected to ease some of the costs, though it doesn't
require bookstores to lower prices.

Female and minority students are often missing from the sciences. But at Grinnell, those students are on
the rise.
