Population too high, expert says
The Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — One U.S. citizen does 20 to 100 times more damage to the planet than one person in the Third World, and one rich American causes 1,000 times more destruction, a population expert said yesterday.
"The most serious population problem in the world is right here in the United States," said Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University professor of population studies.
He said the current world population of 5.3 billion is 1.8 billion more than in 1968 when he first prophesied the problems overpopulation in his book "The Population Bomb."
People who drive gas-guzzling luxury cars and air-condition their homes do far more environmental damage than subsistence farmers, he said.

"The bright side is we know societies can change very rapidly when the time is right." Ehrlich said.

Savings bond program may grow
By Chris Siron
Kansan staff writer
A savings bond program that grants tax-free interest for college expenses may be expanded to allow more people to participate.
Stephen Meyerhardt, Treasury Department bond division public affairs manager, said the education program presented allowed Series EE bond purchasers to not pay taxes on accrued interest if the money was spent on college expenses.
The Treasury Department permits parents or adults who are at least 24-years-old to finance college educations for themselves or dependent children with the bonds. Parents must earn less than a $60,000 combined salary at the time they redeem the bonds.
Meyerhardt said college students also could invest in the bponds in anticipation of attending graduate school.
He said that several proposals were before Congress that would make the program more inclusive by permit-
tind grandparents to use the program for their grandchild's college expenses or by raising income allowances.
The Treasury Department generally supports the idea of expanding the program, although it is withholding its opinion of specific proposals until legislators release more details, Meyerhard said.
Charles Lemmon, district manager of Waddell and Reed financial planners, 2323 Ridge Court, said he was hesitant to recommend using savings bonds to finance college educations.
Lemmon said that because college expenses were increasing faster than inflation and bonds usually trailed inflation, bonds did not establish a reliable fund.
Common said he suggested a conservative mutual fund for parents of children at least six years younger than college age or money markets combined with mutual funds for children closer to college age.
Meyerhard said U.S. citizens owned about $120 billion worth of savings bonds.
