3 The Dairy Tar Heel Monday, August 28, 1978 r ay tuition credit UNC accused off promise IbreacSi won t ease college costs By PAM KELLY Staff Writer The tuition tax credit bill approved by the Senate this month entitles a student, or his parents if he is a dependent, to a credit for half the cost of tuition and fees paid for full-time, public or private undergraduate college or post-secondary vocational school. But the bill won't accomplish what it sets out to do, which is to ease the burden of college costs, said William Geer, director of the UNC Student Aid Office. "The tuition tax credit proposal is a chimera and an illusion which will not William Geer provide funds to students for their educations," Geer said recently. "In reality, it is a tax measure and not a student aid measure." Geer said he dislikes tuition tax credits because they have no relationship to family need. "The son or daughter of a Rockefeller would qualify for a tax credit, but the son or daughter of a poverty family that pays no income tax because of a low income would receive no benefits." he said. 1 Supporters of the tuition tax credit bill say it would not create the large amount of red tape usually associated with student financial aid programs. But Geer said tax credits will set up a new, additional bureaucreacy to accommodate the cost of tuitions, the number of months a student has attended school and possibly a student's grades and attendance records. Geer said he supports a college tuition aid bill which also is favored by President Carter. The bill, which passed the Senate recently, is stuck in the House Rules Committee. The aid bill provides additional funds to the poor, increases basic grants and other current forms of assistance by $1.2 billion and provides basic grants to families with incomes up to $25,000 and loans to any college student. North Carolina members of Congress have differing views on the tuition tax credit bill and the tuition aid bill. Jimmy Carter Democratic Sen. Robert Morgan is against both proposals because he says they will worsen the budget deficit. Republican Sen. Jesse Helms, favors the tax credit proposal, but voted with the majority of the Senate recently to eliminate the amendment to the bill which permitted income tax credits to offset part of the cost of private elementary and secondary education. Helms said he supported the move to exclude the amendment because it would have put private schools "under the thumbs of HEW bureaucrats." A Hduse-approved version of the tax credit bill similar to that approved by the Senate provides tax credits to offset the cost of private or parochial elementary and secondary education. The American Federation of Teachers has taken a strong stand against the bill, saying it will mean life or death for public schools.

High Point attorney Charles Coleman, Roberson's lawyer, said Stone wrote Roberson a letter May 17 saying Roberson had not been awarded the job. A University spokesperson said the vacant position has not yet : been filled. Roberson was hospitalized for mental anxiety and. trauma' caused by the situation, the suit says. Both Stone , and Williamson declined to comment on the lawsuit. The plaintiff also is seeking $25,000 in damages from William N. Dale of Chapel H ill. The suit says Dale agreed to rent a house to Roberson but leased it to a third party after UNC officials told Dale that Roberson would not be accepting the job. Dale said he had talked with Roberson by telephone before Roberson arrived in Chapel Hill May 11. Roberson seemed to know that University officials had not hired him at the institute; Dale said.

Through workshops and consultations, the institute seeks to preserve the heritage of the black press in the Southeast.
