Carter seeks boostfor
student aid programs
(Continued from Page 1)
subsidy alone. The federal government
pays part of the interest costs to
motivate banks to grant student loans.
The program now guarantees repay-
ment of the loans , by the federal
treasury if the student defaults. The bill
provides for the government to pay
more money on the unpaid balance of
the loan while lenders await
repayment.
The bill authorizes a $70 million boost
in funds for Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grants above the budget
request for fiscal 1979.
OPPONENTS of Carter's financial
aid package charge that it would lead to
a sharp jump in administrative costs to
run the expanded program.
The Carter bill includes funds for
processing and administering the
programs. The Basic Grant request in-
eludes $2.5 million for checking claims
at the federal level alone. Publicity
funds for all programs total 9.5 million
for 1979. The budget includes $11.5
million for the schools administering
the Guaranteed Student Loan Program.
Private collectionragencies will be
enlisted to try to recover the $500
million in default on federally Guaran-
teed loans, as estimated by HEW.
The Library of Congress estimates
that federal administrative costs are
already, in the neighborhood of $100t
million for 1977. This does not account
for administrative expenses at the
state, regional or individual school

REP. BILL FRENZEL (R-Minn.),
OLDEST MINE HAD
FAMOUS OWNERS
AUSTINVILLE, Va. (AP) - Both
the famous and the infamous have
owned the oldest continuously
worked mine in the United States.
The mine has been in operation
since f'. years before the American
Revolution and has already
produced more than 35 million tons
of lead and zinc. Approximately 3.9'
million tons of lead and zinc are
estimated to remain, according to
Paul Tripucka who manages the
mine for the New Jersey Zinc Com-
pany.
The mine was discovered in 1766
by John Chiswell, who started a
legend that he could produce silver
from lead. Later he served in the
states' legislature and, shortly
before his death, was involved in a
murder scandal, but was never
brought to trial, Tripucka says.
During the Revolutionary War,
the manager adds, the mine was
state-run by Charles Lynch, whose
infamous conduct is credited with
introducing the term lynching into
the American vocabulary.
From 1780 to 1800 the mine was
run by Moses Austin, who left
Virginia for the new territory of
Texas, where his son was to become
a national hero and later the first
governor of the state.
The New Jersey Zinc Compan
acquired the mine in 1902.
commented, "It makes absolutely no
sense to increase ur present
bureaucracy which is already laden
with massive problems ... problems
that will take years to straighten out."
A Health, Education and Welfare
(HEW) report on the matter stated,
"While rigid controls probably would
be counter-productive, responsible
management still requires that
reasonable corrective actions be taken
by the federal government to minimize
opportunities for fraud and abuse."
Meanwhile, students complain of the
slow, unpredictable process of grant
and loan applications. For many
students, a prolonged processing time
means they cannot pay their rent or
tuition.
Sen. Bill Roth (R-Del.) is another
strong supporter of tuition tax credits.
"Instead of a simple tax credit, the
President's program would require
people to fill out forms, reveal their
personal finances to an HEW
bureaucrat, and prove they are needy
enough to receiveta portion of their own
money (paid in taxes)," he said. He
also pointed to' a Congressional Budget
Office study that said an expanded
grant program "would involve a
greater administrative burden" than
the tuition tax credit.
DONALD LUBICK, a treasury depar-
tment official, countered attacks on
Carter's plan by pointing to additional
administrative costs of the tuition tax
credit. Since it requires accounting for
grants and loans received through
other federal aid programs, he said it
will - like the Carter bill - involve ad-
ditional administrative processing.
He added that since the Carter plan
would channel increased assistance
through existing programs, there would
be no need for taxpayers to file for
grants through both the Treasury and
HEW. HEW Secretary Joseph Califano
concurred, arguing that tax credits will
entail duplication of forms through two
separate government departments.
THE STRONGEST argument for the
aid expansion program is that assistan-
ce is allocated on the basis of financial
need, unlike the tax credit proposals.
"There is no reason why low and mid-
dle income families should have to sub-
sidize the education of the very rich,"
said Califano.
"Federal student assistance
programs should be based on real need
to the extent possible.," Califano ad-
ded.
Ford echoed, "Tax money is scarce
and hard to come by and it should be
spent for low and middle income
students." Carter maintains, "Tuition
tax credits will provide benefits to those
who do not need them and almost cer-
tainly would cost more .than the
carefully targeted measures that we
are proposing."

' Another dispute in the student aid
debate is which approach would get
money to students first. Administration
officials say they could have some of
their program in effect by October, 1978
and the rest in operation beginning in
October, 1979. However, tax credits ad-
vocates say the Carter plan would take
much longer to put into effect than tax
credits because of administrative
delays.
The outcome of the proposals
remains unclear, however. Carter has
given Congress an ultimatum,
"Congress must choose between tuition
tax credits and the far more beneficial
increases in federal student assistance
programs that I am requesting. This
nation cannot afford, and I will not ac-
cept both." Ford said, "If they persist
in hanging " tax crdits on every
education bill, we won't pass anything
or anything the President will sign."

hool,
By BETH ROSENBERG,
Three Bursley residents are
hospitalized with injuries received
when they were struck by a car while
crossing Hubbard St. near Hayward
Tuesday night.
Police identified the injured as
sophomore Beverly Glogowski, fresh-
woman Mary Beth Kawecki, and junior
Jeffrey Beisel.
A FOURTH Bursley resident, junior
Kathy Kawecki, was unharmed in the
accident.
Police identified the driver as 17-
year-old Terance Hawkins of Ann Ar-
bor. According to Kathy Kawecki, two
16-year-olds were in the car with
Hawkins.
"The police told my friend Dan Leach
at the hospital that the three (in the'
car) were under the influence of
alcohol, but had only .06 per cent in
their blood because they weren't
checked for an hour and a half after the
accident," said Kawecki.
POLICE acknowledged a breatha-
lizer test was given, but would not
disclose the results.
Kawecki said the four were walking
from a bus stop towards Bursley when
the accident occurred.
"I looked over my right hand
shoulder and saw lights exploding and a
car coming. I jumped back and when I
opened my eyes, there were people all
over the road," said Kawecki.
ALL THREE victims are being
treated at University Hospital. Mary
Beth Kawecki, who was struck first,
suffered a concussion and a separated
thighbone. Glogowski has a broken leg
and may be in traction for 6-8 weeks.
Beisel broke two bones below the knee,
according to Kawecki.
No, charges were filed against
Hawkins pending further investigation.
