The Michigan Doily-Saturday, February 9, 1980-Page 7 Windfall tax could feed inflation WASHINGTON (AP) - Barring some unexpected last-minute accom- nodation by Senate and House con- erees, President Carter may have to choose between continuing his anti-in- flation policies and winning passage of the windfall profits tax. The conference committee working on Carter's windfall profits tax is leaning heavily toward writing a bill that would return at least half of the revenue from the windfall tax to in- dividuals and corporations in the form of an income tax cut. THE TAX CUT could total $125 billion or more in the 1980s, depending on how quickly oil prices rise. But an income tax cut flies in the face of Carter's economic policy. The president's advisers say any action now to cut taxes could worsen the budget deficit and feed inflation. If Carter's feelings against a tax cut are strong enough, he could veto the bill. But that would delay - and could kill - the entire windfall tax, which is the financing mechanism for the president's energy program and the sugar-coating for his decision to end price controls on U.S. crude oil. More likely, Carter could accept the package and focus his efforts on delaying or watering down the sub- sequent legislation that would actually reduce taxes. For example, Congress could vote a tax cut in this election year but delay its effective date until January 1982. That could deliver the promise of tax relief without worsening the $15-billion budget deficit forecast for 1981. The rough draft of the bill worked out in conference so far would spend 10 per cent or about $22.7 billion of the windfall revenues on synthetic energy. That figure is much less than the $88 billion Carter recommended for synthetic fuels development and the $16 billion he recommended for transportation.

"This brutal act of aggression had alled forth the condemnation of the whole world-and a series of firm and measured responses from the United States," he said. Furthermore, he added, registration "will improve our capacity, if circumstances require, to increase the size and strength of our armed forces." ALTHOUGH HE said, he was "very much aware of the concern that many Americans feel about the issue of women in combat," he added that onany jobs in the military do not involve hazardous roles. Women currently are not assigned to combat units, Carter explained, adding, "I have no intention of' changing that policy." White House officials said, however, that the administration would redefine combat roles to allow women greater chances at promotion in the military. ACTUAL REGISTRATION of young men probably will begin this summer, after Congress appropriates the extra $20.5 mi lion e president has requested for the Selective Service system to implement his plan. The Selective Service system has been dormant since registration ended in 1975. The draft ended in June 1973 after the conclusion of the U.S. involvement in Vietnam. White House officials acknowledge the difficulty that registration of women faced on Capitol Hill, but were optimistic nevertheless. "THAT'S A FIGHT we are prepared to wage," said Stuart Eizenstat, the president's domestic policy adviser. He conceded the congressional Armed Serveies committees opposed the proposal, but he speculated the full House and Senate would be more receptive. Under Carter's proposal, registration would work this way: Nineteen-and 20-year-olds would go to a local post office and fill out a form giving their-name, address, date of birth, and Social Security number. Beginning next year, people would register around their 18.i birthday. The forms would be checked at postal windows. The report also stated that the money" currently used to pay TAs should be redistributed to allow the program to be able to "buy" faculty members from departments that are hesitant to allow their faculty to teach outside their home departments. Ellen Ilfeld, who is a doctoral can- didate in English and taught in the Women's Studies Program last semester, said it would be very difficult to recruit faculty from other depar- tments because women professors who become involved in the program may jeopardize their chances for tenure by splitting their time between two departments. "IF YOU SPEND 20 hours per week in the Women's Studies Program, that's 20 fewer hours spent in your primary department,' Ilfeld explained. "A woman will lose out to a man who can spend all his time in one department," she added. The results of a questionnaire circulated by the review committee indicated that few faculty currently on campus are willing to develop or teach courses in the program. Thirteen faculty members expressed interest in teaching a Women's Studies course, according to the report. TAs should be phased out over several years, the report concluded, even though the committee reported the program's TAs were of exceptionally high quality. THE COMMITTEE also recom- mended that .Frye and the Women's Studies Executive Committee consider cutting the number of course offerings and transferring some of the TAs to research assignments. This would facilitate, the report said, changing the programs' priorities from teaching to research. The procurement of outside funds would be necessary to implement the transition because it would be unrealistic for the program to expect additional funding from the Dean, according to the report. "I think that the University should provide additional funds for research, and not cut back on the teaching," said Ilfeld. "The University should be a place where a student can come and learn. The program received an enthusiastic response from the students .;. and it shouldn't be weakened." The report also suggest that Women's Studies students develop a more direct relationship with other departments, and that the program should work aggressivley to get other departments to offer courses relating to women. Also recommened are stronger ties between the Women Studies Program and the Center for Continuing Education for Wokmen, more publicity, and a definition of the program's goals and needs. 71 ' Student views differ on draft proposal GoodTie Ca~y announces The First Annual Spce Invaders Capos, When: SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 17 1980 Times: QUALIFYING ROUND.- 1pm-Spm FINALS-9pm-midnight RULES: 1.

Eric Hagemeister, an LSA freshman, agreed with Bartlett. "I'm for it - the registration at least. We should be ready now that times are changing. I don't think women should be put on the front," he said. Kristie Robinson, an LSA sophomore, wholeheartedly supported Carter's proposal. "I think .it's wonderful. I'm not pro-war, but I am pro-registration. I think this bullshit peace movement of the sixties has got togo -gthis isn't Nam. People are anti-registration because it's fashionable - I'm not fashionable. "If my brother goes to war, I want to go. If women didn't go, that means over the past 20 years we've been working for nothing," she added.

"I think women are just as capable as men if they want to be, but I don't think we should have it (registration of women) until ERA passes," Dianne Isley, a Pharmacy School sophomore, said. "I'm not against women fighting," Jenny Hoff, an LSA freshwoman said, "'but if we don't have ERA we can't be expected to be drafted." Women's registration was entirely opposed by some. Beth Maggio, an LSA freshwoman, said, "I don't think women should go to war. I don't think women would do well. It may be stereotypical, but I don't think it's in their nature." "I oppose registration of women," David Morgan, an LSA senior said. 'U. Use Daily Class ifieds.
