Education bill advances to Senate
By BILL VOGRIN Staff Reporter
The U.S. House of Representatives swallowed its pride, tightened its belt and passed a conference committee report yesterday that would reauthorize most higher education programs through the 1985-86 academic year. The Senate will vote on it tomorrow.
The report is a modified version of a similar report that was approved by the House two weeks ago, sent to the Senate and defeated by two votes, then tabled.
The House was criticized for fiscal irresponsibility by members of the Senate, including Sen. Nancy Pelosi,man, who voted against his first report.
The original House version of the bill cost $2 billion more for the first year than the Senate had proposed, and $13 billion more for the life of the bill. It was up to the House to compromise and the bill, Kassbeau said at the time.
THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE. a combination of House and Senate
members, discussed the report and worked out another compromise. The House agreed to slice $500 million from the cost of the bill, approved by a voice vote last night, and sent it to the Senate for final approval.
According to Kassebaum, the final approval will come tomorrow.
"This version is more responsible than the original conference report and a document of favor of it." Kassebaum said last night from her office in Washington, D.C.
"I still believe the Senate version was a solid piece of legislation, but as I understand it, the costs in the new report are reduced somewhat."
Kassaebu said she was optimistic about the chances of the report gaining approval in the Senate, despite the fact that the Senate had previously higher than the Senate version.
"We probably will pass it," Kassebaum said. "It's an election year and all the representatives are running for office this year. It is hard to be responsible when you are running for re-election."
chance to study the new conference report, Kassaebaum said the House had made a concession regarding the raising of student loan interest rates.
Although she said she had not had a
AMONG THE 10 MAJOR provisions of the original report was the creation of a new government-backed education loan program for parents and the raising of loan limits and interest rates on student loans.
Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., voted in favor of the original report, and was expected to support the new version of the report, aides said yesterday.
Also passed by the House yesterday was an appropriations request from the Department of Labor, the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Education. The request, in turn, was made for Hesault year 1981, originally included a cut in the Student Financial Assistance program.
The program is operating this year on a $3.4 billion budget. The White House request would have cut that to $3.1 billion. The House amended that request in the appropriations committee to $3.3 billion.
REP. LARRY WINN, R-Kan., of the 3rd District voted in favor of the appropriation, according to Winn aides.
Campus reaction to the appropriation was mixed.
Evans said he had been in contact with Dole's office in Washington, and was concerned about passage of the bill that would raise the Immigration Act and the student loan program.
"It really bothers me that they would cut the program like that because I know that it is liable to keep someone from being able to go to school," said Jeff Evans, campus director of the Associated Students of Kansas.
It is still unclear the kind of effect at $100 million cut will have on individual students. Neither Kasebauem nor Evans was sure, and Jeff Weinberg, a professor at the University of Kansas, was unfamiliar with the specifics of the legislation.
"We would have to study the legislation before we could react to it," Weinberg said.
The Senate will vote on the ap-
proposal next week, Kasbaheim sai-

EACH YEAR OF education adds about 13 cents to average hourly earnings, but obese businessmen may be receiving up to 33 cents more per hour just because of their size, according to McLean and Moon.
Their study of 2,356 men between the ages of 51 and 65 was recently published in the American Journal of Public Health.
McLean and Moon used data from a 1973 National Longitudinal Survey and weight measures based on insurance data to calculate weighted weights for men of varying heights.
McLean and Moon found there was no decrease in wages due to obesity.
Instant Ca$h
Their results contradict a 1974 study by Robert Half Personnel Agencies that found overweight executives are more likely to excess weight during their careers.
"We really don't want to give the impression that we want people to gain weight. The wage gains are small and vastly outweighed by the risks of obesity."
