Reagan cuts

Lopsided Landing AP Photo
The California Boeing 737 which crashed at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, Ca., Tuesday remained covered with
foam as the investigation of the cause of the crash 'continued. An apparent mix-up in runway instructions caused the
California airliner to abort its landing unsuccessfully and crash, injuring 34 persons aboard. The airport remained
closed to commercial flights but private planes were allowed to use another runway.

Loan subsidies and grants for college
students would be pared under the
revised budget proposed last night by
President Reagan.
Two major student aid programs -
guaranteed and basic student loans -
were among those activities targeted
for deep cuts.
IN HIS MESSAGE to Congress,
Reagan said programs that help mid-
dle-income families and the rich are
where the big spending occurs and so
are "an obvious focal point" of a plan to
curtail inflation.
That means a family sending a
youngster to college on a government
grant or a low-interest loan may no
longer qualify. The administration
wants to revise loan and grant
programs so that $30,000-a-year
families will no longer qualify and other
families will have to pay a bigger share
of college costs.
In addition,bus and subway riders
would pay higher fares. Reagan
proposed phasing out mass transit sub-
sidies. He said fares have been ar-
tificially low since the 1973 oil embargo.
A TAXPAYER IN Sioux City, Iowa,
should not have to pay taxes so that a
Los Angeles commuter can ride the bus
cheaply, the president argued.
Miners would have more trouble
qualifying for black lung benefits. The
administration said standards are lax
and most recipients now cannot be
proved to have the disease.
United Mine Workers President Sam
Church said yesterday he would call for
a national coal miners' strike if Reagan
attempted to "gut" the federal bldck
lung program.
GRANTS WOULD BE harder for ar-
tists and scholars to land. Reagan said
philanthropy should fill the gap. He
wants to halve the budgets of the
National Endowments for the Arts and
Humanities.
Also yesterday, the Reagan ad-

ministration confirmed its plans to
reduce federal support of public broad-
casting.
The economic recovery plan unveiled
by the president calls for a 25 percent
cut in the corporation's fiscal 1982
budget, a proposal that would reduce
the $172 million already approved by
Congress to $129 million. Congress must
vote to rescind the funding.
SOURCES OF OTHER programs
which benefit millions would feel the ef-
fect of the budget cuts. Almost all forms
of transportation would be more costly
if his cuts in Amtrak, Conrail, airport
and highway programs are accepted.
Air passengers would pay higher fees,
folded into ticket prices.
Families which benefit from both
food stamps and subsidized school lun-
ch programs would get fewer food
stamps. Postal rates would rise faster if
Reagan's reduction of postal subsidies
is approved. Cities would have to use
their own resources for municipal
waste treatment plants no longer
qualifying for federal money.
Reagan proposed putting a quick end
to thenhuge Comprehensive Em-
ployment and Training Act program
which provides jobs for thousands of
people - and a low-cost work force for
scores of cities. He would end the~
program under which the federal
government pays unemployment com-
pensation for workers idled more than

26 weeks.
ABOUT 310,000 CETA jobs would be
lost under the Reagan proposals which
call for an immediate freeze on new
hirings under the program and would
force the firing of all CETA employees
by Sept. 30.
The administration let it be known
that seven of the government's social
functions would -be shielded from the
budget ax.
These were Social Security old age
and survivors benefits, Medicare
payments, school lunch and breakfast
programs for the truly needy, Sup-
plemental Security Income payments
for the aged, blind, and disabled,
assistance for disabled veterans, Head
Start funding for children, and sum-
mmer youth jobs.

Michigan Media, it would cost $20 per
show "if we had the budget." He also
praised the center for its speed, low
cost, and maintenance reliability.
"Michigan Media is a large and im-
portant supporting structure," said
Ron. Rollet, director of the film
program for. the school of Natural
Resources. He added that the school
would have to' spend at least $20,000 a
year to rent films presently available to
them for nothing from Michigan Media.
PETER CLARKE, chairman of the
department of communication, said
that the center, presently only
minimally involved in "hands-on" in-
struction, will be managing the
operation of a newly renovated video

instructional facility in the Frieze
Building.
According to Clarke, the renovation,
called Studio C, will increase Michigan
Media's . direct instructional in-
volvement, create a convenient source
of technical assistance to students, and
provide professional supervision to
those using the studio's equipment -
functions that the department's regular
staff does not have time to perform.
Professor Emeritus Garnet Garrison
spoke of the unit's value for the future
during the "notable expansion of
educational frontiers." Predicting that
demand for programs for cable
television instruction will be in-
creasing, Garrison said the University
must be prepared.

BUT NOT ALL comments were
favorable. Mike Masters, treasurer of a
student organization called the Public
Media Project, said that the staff at
Michigan Media convey an "abrasive
and aggravated attitude while working
on productions with students."
In addition, Masters cited financial
discrepancies within Michigan Media,
including a low annual return of $38,000
from large amounts of capital put into
the television center and a salary ex-
pense of $220,000 for Michigan Media's
management group alone.
Both Masters and Eugene Lisansky,
manager of the Campus Broadcasting
Network, expressed fear that the cen-
ter's bad attitude toward students could
be carried over into the new Studio Ca
facility.


AATA seeks funds
"for dial-a-ride service

of government.
According to AATA, another.
problem halting immediate implemen-
tation of the project is that operating an
interim program until federal money is
available would jeopardize approval of
the grant. Federal funds could not be
used where local funding is already in
use.
AATA ASSISTANT Executive Direc-
tor James Cromer said a possible
alternative might be a financing
arrangement between the University,
and AATA. He, noted, however, that
'AATA would have to have a concrete

All but one of the citizens present last
night were opposed to the establish-
ment of the corrections center, ad
vocated by state corrections officials to
alleviate prison overcrowding and ease
budgetary pressures.
The controversy over the facility,
which would have housed up to 70 pre-
parole prisoners, has united city and
University officials and amassed
nearly 1100 petition signatures in op-
position.
A letter from the University Board of
Regents was read by ZBA Chariman Ed
Hood. It expressed the Regents' objec-
tion to the corrections facility "in light

facilities adjacent to the property."

proposal before approaching the
University with the idea.
University Vice President for Student
Services'Henry Johnson last night af-
firmed Cromer's comment. Johnson
said he was aware of PIRGIM's
project, but added that AATA has not
made any official proposal to the
University.
AATA board chairman William Mc-
Connell said AATA "would like very
much to contract (with taxi companies)
for this work to be done," but added
that the budget will not currently allow
for the program.
THE COST OF THE all-night dial-a-
ride has been estimated at ap-
proximately $40,000.
Also discussed at the meeting was an
alternative ride sharing program,
which would assist women who
habitually need late night transpor-
tation, such as university hospital
workers.
Joan Singer, AATA special projects
coordinator, and in charge of AATA's
ridesharing program, has been
discussing with PIRGIM the possibility
of combining efforts for a campus
ridesharing program.
