LANSING (UPI) - The Senate yesterday reaffirmed its decision to drop a legal provision requiring local school districts to offer free driver education programs to their students. A growing number of hard-pressed school districts have threatened to defy the more than 20-year-old law and drop driver education courses, complaining state support has not kept pace with the program's cost. THE UPPER chamber rejected, on an 18-10 vote, an effort to remove from a measure boosting state support for driver education an amendment which makes the programs optional. The Senate then approved a second amendment enabling 16-year-olds and 17-year-olds to obtain a license without taking driver education, and moved the bill into position for final action. The amendment dropping the requirement was first adopted last week. "WE OUGHT to be giving local units of government, including school distric- ts, the ability to try to work out their budget problems," said Sen. Donald Bishop (R-Rochester). Other lawmakers, however, warned dropping the requirement will be unfair to students in schools which decide to drop the program. "I don't know that we want to discriminate against students who can afford to take private lessons and those who cannot afford it," said Senate Education Committee Chairman Jack Faxon (D-Detroit). AFTER THE vote, Faxon suc- Thursday & Friday March 20 & 21 11:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m 549 E. University MORE THAN A BOOKSTORE JOSTlE'S THE RING PEOPLE. cessfully urged his colleagues to adopt another amendment allowing 16-year- olds to obtain a driver's license if they can pass the regular state examination. Currently, those under 18 must pass a driver education course to qualify. Faxon said it is clear there is insuf- ficient support to reinstate driver education as a required course. With the second amendment, he said, "No one could claim they were denied the opportunity of qualifying for a license on the basis of lack of oppor- tunity" to take driver education classes. The bill itself hikes from $30 to $45 the state's share of the estimated $70 per pupil cost of driver education programs. Driver education programs have been plagued by rising gasoline prices and increasing difficulty in obtaining cars from dealers. Illinois loss doesn 't deter Kennedy, Anderson, (Continued from Page 1) he has 998 delegates - a majority - in his column. He now has 206, and he'll gain another batch in the New York primary next Tuesday because he has more delegate candidates on his slates there than do the other candidates. ANDERSON WAS upbeat about his chances, saying Reagan cannot be elec- ted in November. "I think that as more and more Republicans become aware of that fact, they simply are not going to want to back a loser in that conven- tion," he said. Wisconsin's is an open primary, in which Democrats and independents can cast Republican ballots. Crossover votes were the only thing that kept An- derson competitive in Illinois; Reagan won big in solid GOP territory. Bush, who once had said that if Reagan couldn't be stopped in Illinois he couldn't be stopped at all, looked to Connecticut and New York, the next set of contests. With 95 per cent of the precincts coun- ted on Wednesday, Reagan delegates had won 39 GOP convention seats, An- derson 26, Rep. Philip Crane of Illinois 4, Bush 2, and 21 were uncommitted. Nationally, that made it Reagan 206, Bush 47, Anderson 39, Crane 4, with 33 uncommitted or pledged to candidates who already have quit. Carter now has 478.3 delegate votes at the Democratic convention, far ahead of Kennedy, with 182.1 delegate votes. It will take 1,666 votes to win the Democratic nomination.

His doctors admit that his chances for survival are "very slim." Police said Lloyd, a Republican who served as mayor of this southwest Indiana city of 12,000 for'1 eight years, was shot four times at close range with a high-caliber pistol about 7 a.m. yesterday morning. Julie Van Orden, a 36-year-old opponent of Evansville's government, was seen driving away from the house in a pickup truck and was arrested about an hour later. She was charged with attempted murder. Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports TMI may be abandoned HARRISBURG-The Three Mile Island nuclear plant may never reopen because of mounting expenses and public pressure, an electrical engineer told the Public Utility Commission (PUC) yesterday. Dr. Robert Parents is a consultant with Theodore Barry & Associates, which the PUC hired to do a one-month mangement audit of General Public Utilities, the company that owns the Three Mile Island plant. He told the PUC that it would cost well over $1 billion to clean up and restore the crippled unit. He emphasized that no one has been inside the reactor building yet so it's impossible to assess the damage. "In my view, the most likely outcome is for it never to return to service but for it to be decommissioned," he said. Planning for Detroit subway goes behind. closed doors LANSING-A special committee charged with hammering out a Detroit subway compromise met behind closed doors yesterday despite protests from reporters and lawmakers. House Speaker Bobby Crim and Gov. William Milliken had recommended the meeting be closed so lawmakers would have a chance to discuss the sensitive matter in private. At stake is the fate of a $950,000 preliminary engineering study of a Detroit subway and suburban transit plan. The committee was appointed by Crim last week after House members were unable to agree on the transit plan.

Italy's government resigns ROME-The seven-month-old minority government of Christian Democrat Premier Francesco Cossiga resigned yesterday, plunging Italy into a new political crisis at a time of mounting terrorism. Cossiga handed the resignation to President Sandro Pertini, who asked him to stay on in a caretaker's capacity. Pertini then announced that consultations on forming of a new government would begin tomorrow afternoon. The Socialists had been demanding Cossiga include the Communist Party, Italy's second largest behind the Christian Democrats, in the govern- ment. Prime rate climbs to 19% NEW YORK-Major American banks united on a 19 per cent prime lending rate yesterday, as money markets gyrated from the weekend anti- inflation measures adopted by the Federal Reserve Board. The prime increase was initiated Tuesday by New York's Chase Manhattan Bank, the country's third largest, which said even the new rate did not cover its current cost of funds. The rest of the industry fell into line yesterday. On the consumer front, banks began disclosing their strategies to curb personal credit. Chase, for example, stopped taking applications for unsecured personal loans and Visa credit cards. Business profits dip in 1979 WASHINGTON-Before-tax profits of the nation's businesses rose 15 per cent last year, down from the 1978 pace as the overall economy slowed, the government reported yesterday. When adjusted for taxes and the inflationary effects on inventory and capital, profits showed a lean 3.5 per cent increase for 1979 after rising 7.5 per cent in the previous year. The department also reported that the overall economy grew at an annual rate of 2 per cent in the final quarter of last year, down slightly from the 2.1 per cent growth the third quarter. 4 ./ ANJbre OLiigan I u (USPS 344-900) Volume XC, No. 133 Thursday, March 20,1980 A Markley Minority Affairs Council presents Rhapsody in An Awards a, Banquet Sunday, March 23 5:00 p.m. Michigan Union Ballroom un*.hrinn The Michigan Daily is edited and managed by students at the University of Michigan.
