"Whenever there is a gulf between us, the United States, for sure, can bring us together," Sadat said after the two-hour session. HE AND VANCE spoke at a news conference on the lawn of Sadat's rest house on the banks of the Nile, 15 miles north of Cairo. Vance left later in the day for Israel, telling reporters before his departure that the United States was lending its "full and complete support ... to the formal meetings here in Cairo and the pursuit of peace."

MAY DELAY SOCIAL SECURITY PACKAGE: Calif ano hi'ts tuition ai*d WASHINGTON (AP) - HEW Sec- retary Joseph Califano said yester- day he would "seriously consider" recommending that President Carter veto legislation to refinance the Social Security system if it includes tax credits for college tuition pay- ments. Califano said that Sen. William Roth (R-Del.), the chief proponent of the $250 tax break, is "holding the viability of the Social Security sys- tem in this country hostage for a $1.25 billion ransom for some of the wealthiest people in the country." ROTH'S TUITION tax credit would grant a $250 income tax break to all families with dependent children in college or vocational schools of higher learning. Califano 'said the median income for all families in the country is $14,500, but that for those with dependents in college the median income is $22,000. Thus, the secretary said, Roth's tax credit would benefit "the wealthi- est lawyers, doctors and corporation executives who have children in college because it is not focused where the need is." CALIFANO referred only to the tax credit's possible effects on upper- income parents of college students and did not mention its potential impact on lower- and middle-income people. "The President would very much like to have this matter enacted this year," Califano said. The secretary said he had not been in touch with Roth about the dispute, "but he's well aware of our views." The Social Security conferees agreed on every provision in the bill except the tuition credit. The tax increase they approved would cost $227 billion from 1979 through 1987.

SACFA o S. Afri~can ties By RENE BECKER The Senate Advisory Committee on Financial Affairs (SACFA) will make a recommendation to'the Regents on the According to faculty and students in the program, racial friction and administrative differences between black acting chairperson Betty Davis and white faculty members caused Wood and three other professors, Maxine Loomis, JoAnne Horsely, and Kathy Krone, to submit requests several weeks ago asking that they be relieved of teaching duties for the winter semester. WOOD, WHO SAID she doesn't "really think there's a lot to be said about it (the decision)," said that Nursing Dean Mary Lohr was in- formed of their decision Friday night. Lohr will be given a written statement soon, probably tomorrow, Wood added. Assistant Nursing Dean Barbara Hansen said she was "very pleased" by the decision. "I believe that we are all optimis- tic that we will move the area forward until we get a new chair- person," Hansen said. SHS, Hospital plans will occupy Regents The future of the Speech and Hearing Sciences (SHS) program and a final University recommenda- tion for a hospital access plan will be decided at this week's Regents meeting, Thursday and Friday in the Administration Building. The eight Regents will also hear suggestions for the improvement of student housing by Housing Director Robert Hughes and a proposal from student leaders to increase activities space, A plan to move the SHS faculty and degree programs from the Medical School to the Education School's Special Education department was announced in October by Vice-presi- dent for Academic Affairs Harold Shapiro. If approved by the Regents this tation Study (UATS), a group of local planners, will discuss alternatives to move traffic into campus from the northeast. UATS will make a final decision before the end of the year. Also at this month's meeting, students Steve Carnevale and Scott Kellman will present the Regents with the results of the Student Space Committee. The ten-member com- mittee asked that student groups be allowed to use classrooms at night; that the Plant Building be renovated for student activities; and that projects in the Student Activities Building be expanded. President Robben Fleming is expec- ted to present an outline of the student space problem for the Regents and recommend that they establish a new committee to study Union governance and the future of the camnus food ser- HANSEN SAID that she would talk with students at noon tomorrow.
