For example, schools must now pro-; vide financial counseling to student borrowers when they enroll and when they graduate. WASHINGTON (AP) In an election-year gesture to the National Rifle Association, the Republican-controlled I louse, defied a veto threat from President Clinton on Friday and voted to lift the nation's ban on assault-style weapons. The 239-173 vote crossed party lines and came after three hours of crackling debate, let's step outside together," New York Republican Gerald Solomon said to Rhode Island Democrat Patrick Kennedy 37 years his junior after the two men clashed heatedly over the measure. The measure would lift the two-year-old ban on fearsome weapons such as AK-47s, Uzis and other semi-automatic firearms.

Polls indicate strong public support for the ban, and in a last-minute maneuver to minimize political fallout, Republican leaders added provisions to the repeal bill mandating stiffer prison terms for crimes committed with firearms. Given Clinton's veto threat, underscored by Vice President Al Core during the day, the House vote is likely to have no practical effect on the existing ban. But it served as a political flashpoint, as Democrats mounted a withering attack oh Republicans and their leader, Speaker Newt Gingrich, for bringing the NRA's top legislative priority to a vote. "Newt Gingrich has bent his knee and is kissing the ring of the NRA -even though most of his own Republican colleagues know tliat this rash 'ini it, -v. Solomon, an ex-Marine, became embroiled in a dispute with Kennedy shortly after debate began.

"Play with the devil, die with the devil," said Kennedy. "You will never know what if like because you don't have someone in your family killed. It's not the person who's killed It's the whole family that affected." said the 28-year-old Kennedy, whose uncles, President John Kennedy and Sen Robert F.

Deputy Education Secretary Madeleine Kunin said Friday that default rates are improving at these and other for-profit trade schools, but she conceded they were still too high.

The default rate for proprietary schools was 24 percent in fiscal 1993, down from 30 percent the year before. "Needless to say, we would like to bring it down further. Any default rate is not good for American taxpayers," Kunin said. Congressional Republicans have criticized the Education De partment for allowine hieh- default schools to continue participating in student loan programs. Kunin said the department has been cracking down on high-default schools and tliat the over all default rate should continue falling.

"Some of the bad apples are out," Kunin said. In January, the department an nounced that the national bor rower default rate had fallen to 11.6 percent the lowest rate re corded since official student loan default rate reporting began in 1988. The all-time high was 22.4 percent in 1990.
