Congress voids veto, saves loan program
By JULIE HEABERLIN Staff Reporter
The Kansas Board of Regents student assistance officer breathed a sigh of relief last week when Congress unexpectedly overrode a presidential veto that have stripped away $1.4 million from student loan programs in Kansas.
"It's just got to be good news for students," said Jerry Berger, student assistance officer. "Because of the economy, it's possibly more critical for students, if families can't come up with the funds and students can't find jobs."
Legislators had predicted early last week that Congress would sustain Reagan's veto of a $14.2 billion appropriation bill that included funds
for the elderly and student loan programs.
REAGAN CALLED the bill a "budget buster" because he thought it provided too much money for social programs and too little for defense.
But in a first major budget defeat for Reagan, the House overrode the veto, 68-41.
The Republican-controlled Senate followed the House decision with a vote Friday that was exactly the two-thirds necessary for the bill to become law.
According to Mark Tallman, executive director of the Associated Students of Kansas, the bill will provide an additional $317 million for the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant and Pell Grant programs. Both federal aid programs provide loans for students.
THE SEOG PROGRAM, which is
geared to help students with especially high costs finance their educations, have a say in how they budget or the 1982-83 academic year if the veto was sustained, he said.
Talian said that students in Kansas, particularly those enrolled in private institutions, were provided with a million from the program last year.
Jerry Rogers, KU director of financial aid, said although it was impossible to know how another presidential victory would have directly affected KU students, the Fell Grant program is a great factor because of the Roeger administration.
AMERICAN-ISRAELI FRIENDSHIP ORGANIZATION will have an information booth from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in front of the union.
Both Kansas senators, Republicans Bob Dole and Nancy Kassbaum, also voted to sustain the bill in support of the president's budget legislation.
IN THE HOUSE, the four Republican members of the Kansas delegation voted to sustain the veto, while the only Democratic member, Glen Dickman, voted to override.
"Though Sen. Kassebaum may not have agreed with Reagan's budget priorities, it came down to the importance of demonstrating support for the president," Bill Gibb, administrative assistant to Kassebaum, said Friday.

"Nuclear power plants and military facilities will continue to release radioactive materials into the environment, until public pressure becomes great enough to bring such releases to a halt. Because the effects of these materials on us, our children, and our planet will be irreversible we must take action now. What we have discovered so far should serve as ample warning that our future as a species is imperil; we are entering a danger zone — uncharted territory—from which we may never return."

"Every medical textbook dealing with the effects of radiation warns that there is no safe level of exposure. Nevertheless, the nuclear industry ango government regulatory agencies have established what they claim to be 'safe' doses for workers and the general public..."
"It is difficult to predict how many mutated will be born in the world as a result of nuclear power and weapons production, or what the nature of their defects may be. But it is indisputable that the mutation rate will rise—perhaps far higher than we would care to contemplate."
MORE SUBSIDIZED SUBTERFUGE ABOUT NUCLEAR POWER
Judge Louis J. Carter, the chairman of a three-judge panel conducting Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)ordered hearings on the safety of two nuclear power plants owned and operated by the Power Authority of New York state, resigned recently in protest against the NRC's unwillingness to give opponents of the reactors an opportunity to testify that a catastrophic accident at either plant could kill thousands because the emergency plans for such an occurrence were unworkable.

Last month the NRC ordered the panel to narrow the scope of the hearings by allowing no discussion of the consequences of an accident without admitting testimony on the probability itself. It also directed the panel to entertain less testimony questioning the adequacy of NRC standards on emergency planning. In what some doubtless consider a laudable efficiency, this benigned bureaucracy reached its conclusion before the hearing ended and obviously wished to brook no further interference from the opposition. Although Judge Carter, in his letter of resignation, described these "restrictions" as "incompatible with my sense of fairness," neither of his fellow panelists shared this opinion. Does information exist to substantiate the charge that the NRC is employing devious means to override its opposition?
"Thousands of tons of radioactive materials, released by nuclear explosions and reactor spills, are now dispersing through the environment. Nonbiodegradable, and some potent virtually forever, these toxic nuclear materials will continue to accumulate, and eventually their effects on the biosphere and on human beings will be irreversible."—L. G. Fletcher, in *Biological Dynamics*, p. 109.
Will mutate, resulting in an increased incidence of congenital deformed and diseased offspring—not just in the next generation, but for the rest of time."
Consider at least these few excerpts from Dr. Helen Caldicott's electrifying book Nuclear Madness before reaching a conclusion:
"Despite the fact that reactor technology is beset with hazardous shortcomings that threaten the health and well-being of nations that employ it, nuclear power plants are spreading throughout the world."
