Helms' bill raises questions
concerning federal controls
By STEPHEN HARRIS
Staff Writer
As the UNC system struggle with.
,e?ieral desegregation requirements, a
bll m Congress could bring such
requirements into question.
The Academic Freedom Act, now in
congressional committees, would limit
federal control over universities that do
not receive more than 5 per cent of their
funds from the federal government and
college programs that do not receive
federal funding.
Under the proposed act, colleges and
universities could not lose federal funds
due to noncompliance with federal
regulations without judicial review.
Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C, introduced
the bill in the Senate in April of 1977.
Rep. Jack Kemp, R-N.Y., introduced
the bill in the House. Since April, the bill
has remained in committee.
"We're still pushing action on it," Carl
Anderson, executive assistant to Helms,
said Tuesday.
The Senate Human Resources
Committee probably will not act on the
College should be
more than
just classes.

bill soon, according to Anderson, but
the proposal does have support.
"We have about 35 to 40 votes in the
Senate now," Anderson said. "1 think
that is a good indication, when we have
one-third of the Senate on our side."
Helms's office also has received from
200 to 250 responses from universities in
the nation, and most of them were
favorable, Anderson said.
Helms has received replies from
UNC, N.C. State. UNC-Charlotte and
East Carolina.
The UNC system has been ordered to
increase minority enrollment, a measure
UNC President William C. Friday has
called unrealistic. Anderson does not
know how the Academic Freedom Act
would affect the order.
"I've talked to attorneys about this,"
Anderson said, "and there has been a
difference of opinion."
The Department of Health,
Education and Welfare imposed
desegregation guidelines on six state
university systems under a court order,
and the act may not affect court orders.
But currently, the bill's main effect is
the issue it raises. Anderson said he sees
support for the bill increasing, and said
the discussion it is iniating may be more
important than the bill itself.
"Sen. Helms has raised an issue that
nobody else, that 1 know of, has raised
before," Anderson said. The issue is
federal intervention in higher education.
Helms has said some institutions
spend as much as 50 cents to administer
every dollar in federal aid, according to
a report by the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools.
Helms believes that federal guidelines
interfere with academic programs,
Anderson said.

Second meeting in a week
Carter, Gromyko to meet
B) I nitrd Trrss Intrrnulional
WASHINGTON President Carter
Tuesday took a personal hand in the stalled
U.S. -Soviet strategic arms talks by agreeing
to his second meeting in a week with Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko. A
spokesperson called it a "positive"
development.
Press Secretary Jody Powell said Carter
told Gromyko during then three-hour
session last Friday he would be willing to
meet again with the Soviet loreign minister if
Gromyko or the Soviet government
"thought it would be worthwhile."
Powell said the Soviets got in touch with
the White House Monday alternoon and the
meeting was set up lor S p.m. I'D 1' I uesday.
Powell called the meeting a "positive"
development.
Secretary of State Cyrus Vance cut short
his scheduled United Nations stay by one
day and headed back to Washington late
Tuesday afternoon to take part in the
meeting.
Arms negotiator Paul C. Varnke was also
called to the session w hich Powell made clear
was to deal with the strategic arms limitation
talks.
"1 think it's sale to assume that it does deal
with the arms control area." said Powell. "1
think it's sale to assume SALT will be
discussed."
"We are talking about a serious
substantive discussion tonight," he said.
Gromyko lashed out at the United Stales
Tuesday for developing the cruise missile
and neutron bomb and said the aims coiuiol
talks were in a state of "stagnation."
However Powell said of the Soviet foreign
minister's suggestion for another meeting
with Carter, "1 think it is appropriate to
interpret it as positive. We were not
informed w hat the toreign minister wishes to
discuss."
"I think this can be interpreted as a
positive thing... in the contest of overall
discussions," Powell said.
Powell said the timing was mutually
arranged.
The SALT I agreement limiting U.S. and
Soviet strategic arms expires Oct. 1 and
efforts to reach agreement on SAL T II have
made little progress.
Abortion funding nixed
WASHINGTON The House Tuesday
voted for the third time this year to ban use
of federal funds for abortions except to save
a woman's life.
On a 252-164 vote, the House rejected
Senate language that would permit federal
funding of abortions in cases of rape, incest
or where a doctor declares it "medically
necessary."

through the next 20 years but not because of
the increased use of coal proposed in
President Carter's energy plan.
The report said U.S. environmental
quality will deteriorate through the end of
the century because of energy production in
any case, but it will be hurt less under
President Carter's eneigy plan than under
existing conditions.
