Imus said Howard questioned the validity of those studies and asked the General Accounting Office to examine them.
Last week, he said, the GAO released a report saying both studies contained "serious methodological problems."
Imus said comparing the departure rate before graduation between athletes and non-athletes was impossible because non-athletes more often left school before gradi- ment reasons other than academics.
Konzem said it was unfair to assume that all student athletes who failed to graduate did so because of academic deficiencies.
"Last year, one of our student athletes left after three years to go take care of her sick mother," he said. "She left for a legitimate reason. Should she count against us?" "Some leave because they suffer career-ending injuries. There are
also competitive reasons. They might leave if they're going to be relegated to reserve or non-starting status."
Imus said he thought some of Konzem's concerns would be dealt with when the bill received final form.
"One change already considered is to have it apply only to athletes in football and men's basketball programs." Imsa said. "Those are the games where those are the programs where those are the abuses exist."
Imus said Howard was looking forward to the hearings on the bill so he could hear suggestions on improving the bill from educators and athletic department officials.
Lee said he thought Howard's goal could be better accomplished if the federal government made more resources available for elementary and secondary education rather than penalizing victims of inadequacies in lower education.
WASHINGTON - The pilot of an Eastern Airlines flight carrying 175 passengers slammed on his brakes and aborted takeoff yesterday when a helicopter crossed the plane's path over a runway at National Airport.
Plane nearly skids into river

The plane skidded and nearly plunged into the Potomag River.
No injuries were reported aboard the Boeing 727, which suffered only minor damage, airport and Federal Aviation Administration officials said. However parademics took three passengers off the plane.
The rest of the passengers were escorted off the aircraft and walked to buses.
airport and wake-up to Düsseldorf.
One woman who said "she was not feeling well" was taken to a hospital as a precaution, an Eastern Airlines spokesman said.
Flight 1500, Eastern's daily 5 p.m. shuttle bound for New York's LaGuardia Airport, was filled to capacity with 175 passengers and seven crew members, airline officials said.
An ABC News official in Washington said "Good Morning America" host David Hartman was aboard
the aircraft and talked to the captain after the incident. He said Hartman told him, "They were at takeoff speed, and at the last split second they aborted. They were about 40 yards from the Potomac. He said he was scared, but there was not panic."
A witness, Peter Massey of Elimira, N.Y., said that as the plane was rolling down the runway at about 5:20 p.m., the helicopter took off and "took a hard turn to the left" into its path.
After the Eastern plot slammed on the brakes, the plane's nose gear buckled. The plane slid off the north end of the runway and onto a lawn, stopping several hundred feet short of the Potomac River. The helicopter flew on, Massey said.
Airport spokesman David Hess said the lawn on which the plane came to rest was a landfill that extended the airport grounds by 550 feet when it was completed in December. He said the extra ground may have kept the aircraft from plunging into the Potomac.
"The nose of the airplane wasn't in the air, but if the pilot had kept going and the chopper kept going, it would have been real close — about 30 feet," said Andy Sawicki of Bayonne, N.J., who saw the accident from a nearby park.

housing office that the item can endure years of service in the housing system, she said.
"Sometimes we all feel a little put upon by the rules and regulations, but the whole intent of the bidding system is to protect taxpayers from duplication or lack of knowledge by providing a uniform system," she said.
Von Tersch said that sometimes more than two months would pass between the day residents made their requests and the day they received the item.
But beginning this fall, the housing office hopes to shorten that time of waiting.
Stoner said that in the past, the office had delayed processing residents' requests because different living groups sometimes wanted to buy the same item. When that happened, the office would wait and submit all orders together.
