Universitv Dailv Kansan, February 6, 1981 43 Page 11 Reagan plans tax cut government reduction WASHINGTON - President Reagan said yesterday that the nation was facing "economic calamity" and proposed a 10 percent tax cut and reductions in nearly every government department in order to counter out of the "worst economic mass since the Great Depression." Reagan reported that he had received a comprehensive audit on the state of the economy. "You won't like it. I didn't like it," he said, "but we have to face the truth and then go to work to turn it over." And he said about it, we can turn them around." IN HIS FIRST major economic speech to the nation since becoming president, Reagan said, "it is time to recognize that we have come to a turning point. We are threatened with an economic calamity of enormous proportions and the old business as usual treatment can't save us." The president said the federal budget was out of control and we face runaway deficits of almost $80 million by the year budget that end. Sent 30. Furthermore, he said, there are 7 million Americans "caught up in the personal indignity and human tragedy of unemployment." Reagan placed the blame squarely on the federal government. He also predicted that the national debt.would go higher than a trillion dollars before reductions in government spending would have an impact. THE PRESIDENT said inflation and unemployment go hand in hand and must be fought simultaneously. He said that in the past, "we have tried to fight inflation one year and then when unemployment increased we faced another unemployment with more deficit spending as a pump primer." Reagan said there was no "quick fix" but "at the same time we cannot delay in implementing an economic program aimed at both reducing tax rates to stimulate productivity and reducing growth in government spending to reduce unemployment and inflation." Reagan said that on Feb. 18, he would present in detail an economic program to Congress embodying his vision to the problema plaguing the nation. "It will propose budget cuts in virtually every department of government," he said, adding that these actual budget cuts will only be of the saving, and said cabinet offices will search out further waste. Reagan also said that the spending cuts would not be made at the expense of the truly needy. kinko's Has a Valentine's Special just for you.

But often a student can't afford the price of a private tutor. Most tutors charge about $4 an hour. KU Supportive Educational Services in the Military Science Annex offers an alternative-free tutoring to more than 500 disadvantaged students a year, Richard Lee, director of the program, said. "We keep a current file of private tutors," Johnson said, "but when students call for help, we also tell them about SES. Other than help from a professor, it's the only free tutoring on campus." DICK JOHNSON, assistant director of the Student Assistance Center, said SES was the only KU program that offered free tutoring. "Since 1975, when I arrived, we had at least 250 students ask for help every year. Last year we had about 500," Lee said. "We offer free tutoring to students with low-income backgrounds and to students who have been academically However, not all KU students are eligible for the program. AN ACADEMICALLY deprived student is one whose high school experience was inadequate preparation for the college pace. deprived," Lee said. "Also, students who are handicapped or disabled receive free help." Michael Bryant, SES assistant director, said many new students suffered from culture shock. He said that minority students in particular had to spend time adjusting to their new environment, as well as to studies. Students request help mainly in math, English, biology and business, Bryant said. If no student tutor is available in the subject desired efforts are made to locate one. academically and to assist in career guidance. "Retention is the main goal of the program," Bryant said. "Our target population is the student who has the capability to succeed in college, but somewhere along the line, didn't acquire the academic skills to make it. This is the student we want to retain at the University." "If a student is not sure whether he is eligible he should come in and let us be the judge." Bryant said. "It's the smart student who's going to seek help." HE SAID A student wouldn't be assigned to a tutor until he had seen one of SES's counselors.
