Fee credits may aid some students
WASHINGTON—The Reagan administration's tuition tax credit plan can be expected to help families in children in private schools and colleges, but not necessarily those with children in public colleges, Terrel Bell, secretary of education, said today.
Bell spoke to the House Subcommittee on Postsecondary Education.
When questioned by a reporter, Bell said there was agreement within the administration that parents of students in private elementary, secondary and higher schools would be permitted.
He said the major uncertainty involved whether parents of public college students would be eligible for such tax credits and how large a break would be needed.
As Congress got down to work on the education and other issues, House Democrats challenged the "mirrors and magic" economic forecasts on which they had been relying.
Bell earlier testified before the subcommittee about administration plans to limit college loans, saying that without restraint the cost of the program will soar out of sight. The administration wants to make it harder for students to get federally guaranteed loans and grants.
"We are not going to put out a budget based on mirrors and magic," warned Rep. James Jones, D-OKA, House Budget Committee chairman.
JERUSALEM–Israel's Parliament, in a session boycotted by many government and opposition members, yesterday defeated a bill to annex the island.
"We are not going to put out a budget based on assumptions that six months or a year from now will be held up to ridicule," he said.
Israeli parliament drops Golan bill
The measure was voted down 45-14 with five abstentions in the 120-member house. Fifty-six legislators, including Foreign Minister Yilzhak Shamir and opposition Party leader Shimon Peres, boycotted the debate.
But Agriculture Minister Ariel Sharon defied the government decision to oppose the bill and voted for it. The proposed legislation was sponsored by Geula Cohen's right-wing Tehiya Party, the same party that last August pushed a pass through a law solidifying the annexation of East Jerusalem.
The negative vote on the preliminary reading effectively killed the Golan bill.
El Salvador rejects mediation offer
SAN SALVADOR, EI Salvador—EI Salvador's ruling junta has rejected as "totally unacceptable" an offer by the Organization of American States to negotiate a peaceful solution to the fighting between Marxist-led guerrillas and government forces.
Leftist guerrillas yesterday bombed and shot at an army troop convoy truck, and at least three civilians were found to death near the capital, in Tchelyabinsk.
The U.S.-backed military-Christian democratic junta Tuesday released copies of a diplomatic note delivered to the OAS rejecting the organization's offer to intercede in the crisis to seek a peaceful solution.
The note said intervention was unwanted and unacceptable.
Meanwhile, El Salvador's top leaders vowed that American military advisers would never be sent into combat in the war-torn country and dismissed as leftist propaganda the fear that the United States was being drawn into another Vietnam.
In Ottawa, Secretary of State Alexander Haig said that the United States would not increase aid to El Salvador beyond the "modest" shipments of food and medicine.
Ban on Angolan aid reconsidered
WASHINGTON—President Reagan is expected to ask Congress next week to lift a ban on aid to rebel forces in Angola, congressional sources said yesterday.
The decision will underscore the new administration's determination to resist Cuban and Soviet-backed involvement in Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
The present government of Angola took power in early 1976 after Cuban support, with Soviet aid, helped it defeat the Unit forces of Josua Savimbi, whose forces had been fighting with the Red Army.
Cuban troops remain in the country, but Savimbi's insurgency continues. State Department sources said Reagan and Secretary of State Alexander Haig had made no firm decision to seek repeal of the five-year-old ban on airsoft or direct aid to the Angolan insurgents.
ATLANTA—Police are working under the theory that as many as 10 different killers may be involved in Atlanta's string of 20 unsolved child murders, it was reported last night.
But congressional sources said Reagan was likely to ask that Congress repeal the ban, imposed in 1976.
Multiple killers suspected in Atlanta
"It is surprising that they haven't solved even one" of the killings, Slaton said.
He said the cause of death was a key factor in separating the killings. The last seven victims all were strangled or suffaced. Although some of the people who died were also were blighted, stabbed or shot, and some bodies were too deceased to determine the cause of death, but all were discovered in the same area.
Atlanta city officials called on concerned Americans to appeal to Congress for money to aid the police investigation of Atlanta's child slaying crisis but wooded citizens not to start carrying guns.
Public Safety Commissioner Lee P. Brown said people should not arm themselves in a city where 20 black children have been slain since July 1979. Another boy, 10-year-old Darron Glass, is still missing.
Mayor Maynard Jackson called on Americans to pressure their congressmen to back a bill already introduced to provide funding for the institute.
In other developments, 11 members of the Guardian Angels, a youth group from New York City, arrived after a 19-hour train ride to help teach children how to protect themselves on the street. But Brown indicated they would get a chilly reception from Atlanta authorities.
Pakistan negotiating for hostages
DAMASCUS, Syria—Pakistan released two prisoners yesterday and sent them with a top negotiator to Damascus to try to save the lives of 102 hostages held by three terrorists aboard a hijacked jetliner for the past 10 days.
The terrorists, who already have killed one hostage and threatened repeatedly to kill the rest, said they would give Pakistan until 11 a.m. EST today to release 90 other prisoners. They said this was the last of several deadlines, including one that had passed earlier in the day.
Pakistan has indicated it would be willing to release 46 of the prisoners on the hijackers' list.
The two prisoners flown to Damascus were the father and brother of one of the terrorists, whose hostages include three Americans among the 93 passengers and nine crew members on the Pakistan International Airlines plane.
Fakistani officials in Islamabad said that the negotiators brought an offer to the investigators, and that the two prisoners, as described as suspect murderers, had been released.
Dean of College named
A professor of political science at Northwestern University will become dean of KU's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences effective July 1.
intellectually and financially," he said, "and I think the opportunity offered at Kansas is bolstered by the nature of the state's commitment to higher education in the state of Kansas economy in this time of generally troubled economics."
Jerry Hutchinson, acting vice chancellor for academic affairs, announced yesterday that Robert L. Timmons, the new top administrator of the College.
"Dr. Lineberry is a distinguished scholar with an international reputation in the field of political science," Hutchinson said. "In addition, he brings a sense of freshness and vigor to KU which I will be stimulating to all who will work with him."
Lineberry expressed enthusiasm similar to Hutchinson's concerning his appeal.
Lineberry will replace acting dean Robert Hoffman. Hoffman has served as acting dean since last July when Robert Cobb, previous dean of the College was named executive vice chancellor for the Lawrence campus.
The University is in strong shape
Lineberry, 38, has been a member or the Northwestern faculty since 1974. Before that he was associate professor of political science at the University of Texas at Austin. A native of Oklahoma City, Lineberry earned his doctorate in 1969 from the University of Northern Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Admissions director selected
The KU Office of Admissions and Records faces the same problems that admissions offices across the nation face, the new director of admissions said yesterday when she assumed her duties.
"We're facing a more competitive market with more institutions recruiting fewer students," Linda Thompson, the new director, said.
"Our recruitment has always emphasized academic programs, campus
Appointed director yesterday, Thompson said her office would continue its regular recruitment practices despite the more competitive market.
Until yesterday, Thompson was assistant director for admissions. She has assumed her new position at a time when the office is somewhat short and the workload is heavy, she said. Two assistant director positions are vacant.
Thompson's new duties include supervising all communication between KU and Kansas high schools and community colleges. Additionally, she will coordinate on-campus visits and field trips to places like Thompson will also oversee admissions counseling for minorities, foreign students and other groups.
