Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, August 4, 1983 GOP leaders blast, educaion panel delays LANSING (UPI) - House Republicans, saying the matter is high on their agenda, chastized Gov. James Blanchard yesterday for failing to ap- point the special higher education study committee he promised nearly a month ago. "The commission should have been appointed a long time ago," said House Republican Leader J. Michael Busch of Saginaw. "You can do more than one thing at a time around here." BUSCH, JOINED by GOP Reps. Ruth McNamee of Birmingham and Donald Gilmer of Augusta, said education oc- cupies a top spot on the Republican legislative agenda, along with im- proving the state's business climate. McNamee was the sponsor of a House resolution calling for the creation of an outside body to study the state's higher educational system. She said there must be some thought given to con- solidating programs to avoid costly duplication. The fact that the state supports nine Reaan s fooc seen as a poli WASHINGTON (AP) - The Reagan administration said yesterday it will step up distribution of surplus food to the poor next month - the second move in as many days to parry charges it is not doing enough to fight hunger in America. Democrats remained unconvinced. "'I DON'T KNOW where he's been," House Speaker Thomas O'Neill Jr. said yesterday in response to President Reagan's call a day earlier for a White House task force to study hunger. The Massachusetts Democrat said there is no question poor people are going hungry, and that it is largely because "one particular conservative Republican (Reagan) has led a nation- wide campaign of ridicule against America's nutrition programs." The chairman of the House Agriculture Committee said if task for- engineering schools, for example, she said dilutes their effectiveness. SHE ALSO SAID it is time for com- munity colleges to be "completely coordinated with baccalaureate colleges." A higher education commission, Mc- Namee contended, "could set down a philosophy from which the ap- propriations process works." Both Busch and McNamee said they believed it is too early to say whether any schools should be closed outright. Blanchard's press secretary, Sue Carter, said the governor will probably be making appointments to the com- mission and setting out its duties within two weeks. "It's a very important commission and it's not something to be rushed into precipitously," she said. "Maybe it's important to be a little more cautious at this end than to make a mistake and live with it down the road." I give-a-way fical ploy ce members are savvy enough to "see lightning and hear thunder" they won't require more than 72 hours - rather, than the nine days Reagan plans to give them - to determine that hunger is a serious problem in America. THAT REMARK by Rep. Kika de la Garza, (D-Texas), came at the start of an Agriculture subcommittee hearing at which an Agriculture Department of- ficial outlined plans to boost the amount of cheese and other food to be given away in September. Mary Jaratt, the assistant agriculture secretary who oversees food and consumer services, also said the administration is dropping its op- position to legislation that would allocate $50 million to help states and cities pay the costs of getting the free food to the people who need it when existing funds expire Sept. 3. TODAY An ear for music THE EXPRESSION "in one ear and out the other" may have to be amended to "out one ear and in the other," after the discovery that ears not only listen, they can sing. A University of Arizona graduate student, Kathryn Bright, says tests she conducted confirm a phenomenon some researchers had noted - the inner ear can emit faint sounds, known as cochlea emissions. How the sounds are created is not understood, she said. "Our theory is that there's some kind of damage in the cochlea (inner ear) that causes the hair cells to go bonkers and fire and create a tone." Bright noted and recorded ear sounds coming from about half of the 40 subjects tested. She's now looking for 75 more volunteers willing to have microphones placed in their ears for an hour.
