3 million sign budget petitions
University Daily Kansan, September 20, 1984
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — A tax lobbying group yesterday delivered 3 million petitions to the Capitol on a flat bed truck, asking Congress to approve a constitutional amendment requiring a balanced federal budget.
| The petitions, which were mailed individually to the National Tax Limitation Committee from around the country, were stuffed in red, white and blue mail sacks. Each required a 13-cent stamp.
The Senate Judiciary Committee has approved the balanced budget amendment and sent it to the floor. But the issue is bottled up in the House Judiciary Committee, and a drive to collect 218 signatures to force House Speaker Thomas O'Neill to bring the bill to the floor is still 26 short.
A PARALLEL DRIVE to get 34 states to demand action from Congress on the proposed amendment is still two states short.
HAVE YOU BEEN to the WHEEL LATELY?
"The country demands a balanced budget, Republicans in the Senate demand a balanced budget, common sense demands a balanced budget." Senate GOP leader Howard Baker told a few spectators gathered on the Capitol steps.
"But the speaker and the majority in the House don't demand a balanced budget, and we've got to change that," said Baker.
The petitions are supposed to go to O'Neill, who ignored the gathering on the steps
The proposed amendment figures prominently in the presidential election. President Reagan favors it; Walter Mondale does not.
DEMOCRATS COUNTER that
Reagan should send a balanced budget to Congress if he truly wants one. His first fiscal 1985 proposed budget was nearly $200 billion in the red.
Also yesterday, a national policy study group, likening the current federal budget deficit to "fiscal child abuse," urged elimination of tax breaks and deep military spending cuts to balance the federal budget by 189.
THE ROOSEVELT CENTER for American Policy studies suggested tax hikes that would hit the wealthy and eliminate many deductions.
The non-profit, non-partisan institute — based in Washington and Chicago — also recommended that high-income Americans receive less from Social Security and pay more for Medicare, both politically touchy issues.
Girls' scores boost SAT averages
By United Press International
YORK - Higher math scores by girls helped increase the Scholastic Aptitude Test scores for boys for four points, a College Board grant.
The higher scores were the first significant improvement in 21 years.
The tests, which predict a student's chances of doing college work, were taken by 464,381 boys and 499,804 girls in the high school class of 1984, many of whom started college this month.
EDUCATION SECRETARY Terrel Bell, who helped spark a campaign in 1983 to upgrade America's schools, said in Washington that he was encouraged by the results but that he would like to see the score return to the high level mark of 1963.

"We can say that it is encouraging, an encouraging earlier sign of academic recovery." Bell said. "Will it become more significant in 1965 is the big question, and will it be academic recovery be sustained?"
Girls' math scores went up four points over 1983 to 449 and the boys' scores rose just two points to 495
George H. Hantford, College Board president, gave the boys credit for the increase of one point in the verbal category, saying their score increased three points while the girls' score stayed the same.
elongated decline that worried educators and parents.
Improved math performance, by the girls in particular, helped boost the scores, the first big win, and a few girls have slumped since then in an
"THIS IS THE SECOND year in a row that female students played a major role in the math score increase, paralleling increases in the amount of math and science they are taking in high school," said Robert G. Cameron, executive director of research and development for the College Board.
The national verbal average rose to 426 from 425; math, to 471 from 486. Since 1963, when the verbal was 478 and the math score 502, the combined SAT score total went down 83 points.

MORALITY BY VOTE?
Overland Park, KS 413-345-1400
iE GDEAT
Democracy is GREAT because we don't have to believe/accept everything it says!
When it decides for or against prohibition,
when it links driving with drinking age 21.
When it determines racial and sexual rights or
tax loops.
we can still ask "What is right?"
Democracy can legislate right and justice. We separate church and state, because the church's power is persuasion, not legislation
A church without a state is nonsense. A state without a church can be immoral. Don't live with one without the other.
