Reagan plans tax credit
for non-publc tu1ition

WASHINGTON (AP)- Ronald
Reagan isn't the first president to
dangle the prospect of tuition tax
credits before Catholic educators and
parents of children in private schools.
But his plan to revive that campaign
promise already is clouded by a record
budget deficit and constitutional issues
that remain sticky as ever.
THE PRESIDENT plans to unveil his
plan tomorrow in a speech to the
National Catholic Education
Association in Chicago. White House
aides say Reagan will ask for tax
credits of up to $500 for parents of the
nation's 5 million private school studen-
ts.
The plan will be phased in over three
years, climbing to a maximum of $500,
and families with income over a certain
level-perhaps $50,000-would be
ineligible, according to sources who
asked not to be identified.
The association Reagan will address
represents 10,000 Roman Catholic
schools with 3.5 million students. Ten
years ago, President Richard Nixon
told the same group he was
"irrevocably committed" to find ways
to help nonpublic schools.
"WE ARE all aware of the extra dif-
ficulties which tax measures encounter
in Congress any time, but particularly
in an election year. . ." Nixon said at
the time.
Nothing came of Nixon's promise.
Two Democrats who lost presidential
races, Hubert Humphrey and George
McGovern, backed tuition tax credits.
Candidate Jimmy Carter declared on
Oct. 19, 1976: "I am firmly committed
to finding constitutionally acceptable
methods of providing aid to parents
whose children attend parochial
schools." But as president, Carter at-
tacked tuition tax credits as "costly and
unconstitutional" and used the threat of
a veto to keep Congress from enacting a
tax credit plan in 1978.
CANDIDATE Reagan told a rally in
Paterson, N.J., a heavily Catholic city,
last year that he would "wholehear-
tedly support enactment of a tuition tax
credit bill as soon as it is fiscally
possible."
Reagan did not include tuition tax
credits in his huge tax cut legislation
last year, but assured Catholic school
administrators in a message Oct. 18 he
was still committed to it.
But lawmakers may have a hard time
seeing their way clear to sanction any
new drain on the Treasury. The White
House and Congress are struggling to
find ways to raise taxes and cut spen-
ding in order to close a fiscal 1983
deficit estimated at $101.9 billion-even
supposing Reagan gets all the cuts he
wants.
SEN. BOB DOLE (R-Kan.), chair-
man of the Senate Finance Committee,
has expressed doubt about whether
Congress could back a tuition tax credit
this year.
Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-
N.Y.), a leading champion of tuition tax
credits, said yesterday: "The ad=
ministration has waited so long to make
its intentions known, it may prove to be
impossible for this Congress to deal
with this issue in the time remaining."
Moynihan is co-sponsor of a pending
bill to give parents a credit of up to $250
to cover half the cost of tuition for the
1983 school year and $500 afterwards at
the elementary, secondary and college
level.
THE BILL would cost the Treasury
$2.7 billion in fiscal 1983 and $6.3 billion
in 1985, according to the Congressional
Budget Office.
Reagan is not planning to ask for tax
credits at the college level, according to
the White House sources. The
Congressional Budget Office estimates
that a $250 tax credit for elementary
and secondary tuition would cost $1.3
billion and a $500 credit $1.9 billion in
the first year, assuming no growth in
private school enrollments.
Reagan's controversial stance on tax
breaks for schools that discriminate
also may cloud his effort to seek a
tuition tax credit. In January, the ad-
ministration said it would no longer
seek to deny tax-exempt status to
schools that discriminate by race,

Nuns' suit to regain jobs rejected
EXETER, N.H. - A judge yesterday upheld the firing of four Roman
Catholic nuns from teaching jobs at a parochial school, rejecting what may
be the first suit ever brought by nuns against their bishop.
The four nuns, employed as teachers at the Sacred Heart School in Ham-
ptonn sued Bishop Odore Gendron of the Manchester Roman Catholic
Diocese after he refused to renew their teaching contracts.
The church said the nuns were "uncooperative and cliquish."
The four members of the Sisters of Merey Order-Sisters Honora Rear-
donn Justine Colliton, Catherine Colliton and Mary Rita Furlong-said they
were never told specifically why they were being dismissed.
Lawyers for Bishop Odore Gendron argued that the courts should not
review the issue beciause it violated the separation of church and state.
But Superior Court Judge Joseph Nadeau ruled it was possible for the
courts to examine the issue without violating the constitutional guarantee
and rejected the nuns' suit.
Boy killed in Gaza Strip riot
JERUSALEM- Israeli troops shot and killed an 8-year-old boy yesterday
and wounded 17 other Palestinians rioting over the bloody attack on Islam's
sacred Dome of the Rock. Ten other Arabs and four soldiers were hit by
stones.
In the Jerusalem magistrate's court, Judge Haman Shelah ordered Alan
Harry Goodman, an American Jewish immigrant, held for 15 days to allow
police to investigate his part in an attack at the Dome of the Rock.
The military command said hundreds of Palestinians tried to storm a
small army encampment near Jabaliya refugee camp in the occupied Gaza
Strip, and 21 people were hit-11 by army bullets and 10 by stones flung by
fellow rioters.
An 8-year-old boy, Sohail Abdelfadah Ghabin, bled to death of a bullet
wound when an ambulance carrying him to a hospital was blocked by a mob,
a military spokesman said.
Teen charged in mass murder
PORT HURON- A 16-year-old boy wascharged with five counts of first-
degree murder yesterday in the slayings of a woman and her four adopted
children-the third mass murder in Michigan in less than two months.
St. Clair County Prosecutor Robert Cleland also said he filed a petition
with the probate court seeking to have the suspect-a friend of one of the vic-
tims-tried as an adult in circuit court.
Under Michigan law, suspects under 17 can be tried as adults only after
proceedings in probate or juvenile court. If tried as an adult and convicted,
the boy-a junior at Yale High School- would face a mandatory sentence of
life in prison without parole.
The youth is accused of killing Elizabeth Giuliani, 50, and her children,
Eric, 19, Kathleen, 16, Cynthia, 13, and Dean, 9, at their ranch-style home
south of Yale last Wednesday. Mrs. Giuliani's husband, Richard, 48, was
away at work.
21 states record double-digit
February. unemployment rates
WASHINGTON- Unemployment in 21 states reached double-digit rates in
February, according to preliminary figures released yesterday by the Labor
Department.
In the District of Columbia, the hub of federal government long considered
immune from the worst rigors of recession, unemployment also reached 10
percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said. r
Michigan, where the slumping auto industry has forced tens of thousands
of layoffs, continued to have the highest unemployment rate of any of the 50
states-16.1 percent in February, not adjusted.
The bureau said the number of states with unemployment at 10 percent or
more was the highest for any February since it began compiling state-y-
state records.in 1970. In February 1981, nine states showed that much unem
ployment or more.
Unlike the national jobless figures, the state-by-state statistics are not ad-
justed to take into account seasonal factors, such asweather and school
closings.

resolve their differences," she said.
Counselors will help work on contracts
for paying bills, for overnight guests,
and for courtesy guidelines.
Students who are now planning how
their households will run next year
should be careful of their expectations,
Holland said. Smoking, drugs, and
alcohol are usually not as much of a
problem because they have been
discussed, she said.
LESS TANGIBLE yet more per-
vasive differences, such as basically
different styles of living, can lead to the
more major conflicts.
Rick Frantz, a recent graduate of the
School of Engineering ran into
problems that went all the way to small
claims court. Two years ago, he lived
in an apartment with Glenn, Cliff, and
Tony.
"Tony (not his real name) had very
poor impulse control," Frantz ex-
plained. "My other two roommates
watched TV all the time. He wanted to
be pre-med, and he wanted to study in
the apartment, but he ended up wat-
ching TV all the time. And he-liked to
drink scotch."
AS A RESULT, according to Frantz,
Tony did not accomplish a great deal
academically. "I think he passed one
course that semester," he said. "What
he needed was to find a place to study.
Now, normally, people would go to the
library to study, but no, he wanted to
study in the apartment."
Tony moved out during winter break
without telling his roommates. After mid-
January, Frantz explained, the others
became worried. When he called
Tony's parents, they "said something
about the atmosphere not being con-
ducive to studying. We had expected
something like that."
Because it was a bad time of the year
to sublet, the three remaining room-
mates went to the University's Student
Legal Services (SLS) for help. Lear-
ning that SLS cannot handle conflicts
between students, they took the case to
small claims court, where they lost.
ALTHOUGH dormitory problems are
usually less serious, there are some ex-
ceptions. Sue (not her real name) lived
in a residence hall with a roommate
who had her boyfriend over in the room
for 10 of the first 15 days of the
semester. Of those nights, She was
kicked out of the room for six.
When dorm conflicts escalate,
roommates may ask for a "bed-for-
bed" switch with someone else in the
dormitory, at a $5 charge - not too
much trouble for a happier existence.
Nor is life in fraternities and
sororities without problems. In one
case, three women living in a sorority
described the situation as "like being in
a war together." The women, who
asked not to be named, said they were
treated as second class citizens and
were asked to eat at a separate table in
the sorority.
"THEY (THE other sorority mem-
bers) were a group of insecure girls
who tried to feel others were beneath
them," one of the women said. One of
the women said that living there made
her physically ill, and she terminated
her lease with the help of a doctor's let-
ter.
"You have to be sensitive" in any
living situation, according to University
senior Meg (not her real name). One of
the biggest problems, she said, is "not
checking out the people you'll be,living
with carefully enough."
Courtesy is also* necessary for a
situation to work out, according to Meg,
who has lived in large groups twice.
"You can't talk for hours on the phone
when you live with seven people."
Many people panic about where they
will be living during the following year.
and rush into a situation without
thinking, she said. She said she agrees
with Mediation Service counselors that
many people must give careful con-
sideration to how many people they will
be living with, who they will be living
with, what their responsibilities will be,
and what the cost will be.
