When the bells ring on Capitol Hill today to bring Congress back into session from a Thanksgiving break, federal legislators will consider the future of financial aid programs for students and their universities around the country.
A compromise appropriations bill recently passed by a conference committee has proposed reduced spending on the Guaranteed Student Loan and Pell Grant programs and no increases for other aid programs, including National Direct Student Loans, Supplemental Educational Opportunity' Grants and College Work-Study.
Voting on the bill before the full House and Senate is expected within the month.
The Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations bill, as agreed on by
the conferees, for the 1986 fiscal year will, among other things:
•	reduce spending on the Guaranteed Student Loan Program by about $400 million to $3.3 billion;
•	cut $20 million out of the Pell Grant program to $3.59 billion; and
•	freeze budgets at the 1985 levels of $217.4 million for National Direct Student Loans, $412.5 million for Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, and $592.5 million for College Work Study, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education.
University officials and student leaders contacted said it is difficult to assess the immediate impact of cuts in financial aid because the details are still being ironed out. The Chronicle's article said, however, "Representatives of colleges

Congress to consider financial aid revisions

Sanctuary
resolution
welcomed
By Stephen Lawson

The Reverend George Wilson of the United University Church yesterday welcomed the Los Angeles City Council's resolution that declared the city a sanctuary for Central American refugees.
"I'm thankful," he said. "I think that it will give a message to the Reagan Administration of the inadequacy and wrongness of its policy."
The church declared itself a sanctuary in 1983 and is aiding organizations who are providing sanctuary to refugees.
"I don't know w'hat effect it's going to have on the church," Wilson said, adding that it might prevent some prosecutions for those offering sanctuary.
"The critical issue is not w'hat happens to people in the sanctuary movement but what happens to the refugees," he said.

Sexually Speaking Dr. Ruth at Bovard
Dr. Ruth Westheimer

Television's well-known sex therapist, Dr. Ruth Westheimer, will speak on campus today at 12:30 p.m. in Bovard Auditorium. The two-hour session will include two 10-minute films and an open forum for questioning.
Some questions will be submitted on cards, but microphones will be available to the audience for spontaneous questions, said Tom Edwards, director of speakers.
"I've been working on getting her since June," Edwards said. Several other universities have tried also, but her schedule is booked, he added.
"This is for sure her only L.A. appearance," he said.
Dr. Ruth, as she is fondly called, will be in Los Angeles for tomorrow night's Awards for Cable Excellence ceremony. She is a nominee for the Informational Host award for her television show "Good Sex with Dr. Ruth Westheimer."
"Her asking price (for an appearance) is $12,500. . .but (she) will be here for $7,000 since she's already in L.A.," Edwards said.
As of Monday afternoon, only 105 tickets of 1,200 tickets available were sold. Seventy-five percent were bought by males, said Ann Wenceslao of the ticket office.
Dr. Ruth's popularity stems from her blunt, unintimidated answers for sexual problems that she delivers with a smile in her German accent.
One student said, "She is the most hysterical woman I've seen on a talk show. . .she makes people open up about sex."
Dr. Ruth studied psychology at the Sorbonne in Paris, received her master's degree in so-ciology from the Graduate Faculty of the New School for Social Research, and a doctorate in the Interdisciplinary Study of the Family from Columbia University.
She is an adjunct associate professor of the sex therapy teaching program at Cornell University Medical Center, a geriatrics consultant at the New York University — Bellevue Hospital, and a rehabilitation consultant at Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center.
Mirage Bowl draws Trojans to Toyko
CAROL ANN COATES DAILY TROJAN
The Trojan Marching Band, with the Grambiing State Band, appeared at the Mirage Bowl in Tokyo Saturday.

TOKYO — While most students went home for the Thanksgiving holiday, more than a thousand USC faithful were in Japan for the Mirage Bowl game between USC and the University of Oregon, where the Trojans finished the Pac-10 season with a 20-6 victory.
The football team, one hundred members of the Trojan Marching Band, a VIP group including the three senior vice presidents and four members of the board of trustees and a group of about 750 others some way affiliated with the university attended.
The USC contingent flew to Japan on a chartered 747 jet that left last Monday and arrived in Tokyo on Tuesday evening after nearly 12 hours in the air. The team was placed in less-than-first-class accommodations and many complained about the rooms and the beds being too small.
One of the oddities about the hotel arrangements was that the Trojans were placed in the same hotel as their opponents — the Oregon Ducks.
Arthur Bartner, director of the band, said the Mirage Bowl people "ran the band all over the place" so they had very little free time. They performed at several functions, including two parades.
Some of the students complained that the entire thing was completely unorganized and that their itinerary changed so often that they never really knew what they would be doin^ next.
The football team was provided with an all-dirt practice field that it shared with Oregon. Scott Weltman, one of the team managers, said the field was all mud because of the rain and many of the footballs were waterlogged.
The Mirage Bowl was held in the Olympic National Stadium in Tokyo, site of the 1964 Olympic Games. Fanfare and pageantry sur-
