runs out this week
WASHINGTON (AP) - A federal
unemployment benefits program for
339,000 people nationwide expires this
week, the third major cut in gover-
nment aid to the jobless in the past four
years.
A House subcommittee has endorsed
a bill that would extend the federal sup-
plemental compensation benefits three
months after it runs out a midnight next
Saturday.
BUT IT appears Congress won't have
enough time to act before the Easter
recess, and President Reagan says the
program is no longer needed, citing a
growing economy and the alternative of
job training.

"WE DON'T recognize this president

New Democracy leader Constantine
Mitsotakis, as he announced the party's

The opposition said Alevras was not
constitutionally eligible to vote since he
was serving as head of state. The
Socialist majority in Parliament ruled
he could.

Student Faculty Policy Committee."
Orlin, however, does not equate the
desire of faculty to serve with the value
of a committee, "would you abolish the
curriculum committee because no one
would serve?" Orlin said.
The vagueness claim Orlin disavows,
but other members of the committee
agree that is unclear. "I do think it has
a vague charter," Eric Preven, a LSA
senior and co-chairman said.
"IT WOULD do it service to have it
more focused. I think an amendment to
its charter could be helpful," he said.
"If it's got a vague charter, rather
unclear . . . then that sort of thing
should be worked on," said Joanna
Luschin, a LSA sophomore committee
member. "It's our only voice with the
governing faculty."
"There are some bugs in the system.
They should work with it instead of just
throwing it out," Luschin said.
"IT IS symbolically and practically a
good idea to have students and faculty
work together to share the concerns
they have," said committee member
Rhoads Murphey, a history professor.
"In terms of raising issues and
focusing on issues, I. think it
has an important role," said
psychology professor Richard Manny
who served on the committee before
and is a current nominee. "Where else
do students get a chance to put their
agenda into the faculty's world?"
Another nominee, psychology Prof.
Vonnie McLoyd, also pointed to the
Luschin said that a lot of members,
faculty and students alike, don't go to
the meetings. "There is a basic lack of
enthusiasm - on both sides. They
should be more particular when they
choose people (to serve). They should
get people who really want to do it," she
said.
