Page 4 The Battalion Wednesday, August 4,1993 Senate approves Clinton's service plan THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Congress to hammer out differences WASHINGTON - A slimmed- down version of President Clin ton's plan for students to earn some college tuition money through public service work won Senate approval Tuesday. Negotia tors now must reconcile it with a somewhat broader House version. Initial steps toward resolving differences already were under way as negotiators sought to have a compromise ready for final pas sage by end of the week, said a source close to the discussions. “We're not sure we can do it, but it appears that all sides are agreeable to try/' said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The Senate's 58-41 vote ended a vigorous partisan dispute that forced Clinton's original five-year. $9.5 billion plan to be sharply re duced. Clinton called senators af ter the vote to thank them. The Senate's three-year program would cost $1.5 billion. The House approved a three-year arrangement at an estimated cost of $2.1 billion, though funding could vary under the House version. “The administration is comfort able with either approach at this point," said Eli Segal, who directs Clinton's national service office. “The differences between the bills are really quite small," he said, adding that both were "essentially identical" to Clinton's plan. The biggest differences are in how many students could take part and how soon. Clinton wanted to allow 25,000 students in the first year and 150,000 by the third year. Clinton Continued from Page 1 by Democratic moderates who wanted deeper spending cuts. Clinton took direct aim at his Republican opponents, labeling them anew as “guardians of grid lock” and saying their alternative plans had “less deficit reduction or more pain for ordinary Ameri cans or both." Those GOP plans also were roundly defeated in Congress, Clinton said. “Now there are only two choices: our plan or no plan," Clinton said. The overall package calls for the deficit cuts over five years through a combination of higher taxes, mostly on wealthy individ uals and corporations; and a vari ety of spending cuts, including deep cuts in military spending and in some domestic programs, including Medicare. The House is expected to vote on the plan on Thursday and the Senate on Friday.

The gasoline tax raises less money, but it affects more money." Jones and Hazelton agreed that current gasoline prices are the lowest in years, and the extra tax will probably only raise fuel prices to levels common in the middle '80's. "These are the lowest gas prices I remember in 10 or 12 years," Jones said. "Adding a few cents to the gallon will maybe raise them to where they were be fore. Nobody likes taxes, and I'll probably gripe about it when I go to the pumps, but it is fair. It is not the ideal program, but I as a citizen will support it without any hesitation." Both professors agreed that the bill would most likely pass the House and Senate when it comes up for vote on Thursday and Friday. "I believe they are now in a bargaining game with President Clinton," Hazelton said. "1 think he has got the vote in the House. There are a few senators that are probably holding out, but I think he will get the bill through." Jones said, "t think it will pass by a very small margin. The re publicans will hold firm and not vote for it, but they do not have enough members to block its pas sage. Since there really has not been a coherenP'plan from the oth er side, I think it will pass." Need money for College? Scholarships Unlimited Ser vices guarantees we can get you Scholarship money.

The House would allow somewhat more students than the Senate during the three years. The Senate numbers resulted from its decision to limit spending to $300 million in the first year of the program, $500 million in the second year and $700 million in the third year. Other differences were primar ily structural. Both House and Senate ver sions would allow students who completed two years of commu nity service work to receive $4,725 for each year to apply to ward college tuition. Both the House and Senate reduced Clin ton's figure from $5,000 to keep it lower than the $5,250 military people can receive under the longstanding Cl bill. Both House and Senate would provide living allowances of at least $7,400 a year and health-care and child day-care benefits. Sen. Edward Kennedy, D Mass., the bill's Senate floor man ager, said he wanted to seethe program fully implemented more quickly but, “this is the legislative process and compromises have to be made. “1 don't think there was any compromise on the essential is sues, but just on the pace of the program," he said told The Asso ciated Press. “1 think the essence of the program has been pre served." iVednesday Over 1,100 overseas brats to hold reunion at D-FW THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GRAPEVINE — It's hard to imagine retired Army Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, U.S. Rep. Newt Gingrich, The Doors' Jim Morrison and actress Priscilla Presley have anything in common. But the four are products of overseas schooling, an experience shared by millions of Americans whose military parents were sta tioned abroad over the past 40-some years. This weekend at a Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport hotel, more than 1,100 overseas brats — former children of both military and diplomatic families — will attend Grand Reunion '93, the largest reunion ever for all classes and schools in 120 countries. “What's different for us is that one-third to one-half of those (stateside) live in a 50-mile radius of where they went to school," said Joe Condrill, member of Tehran American School, class of 1973, and founder of Overseas Brats Inc., a San Antonio-based net work for former military and diplomatic dependents. “Someonein our situation, that doesn't apply." The United States — through its state and defense agencies - have operated high schools from Athens to Paris to Zweibruecken, complete with football teams, cheerleaders and letter jackets. “It's like finding your life that you lost," explained Sunny Taylor Schwentner, a member of Kubasaki High's class of 1962. "When you said goodbye to all those friends, it was like it was a death, be cause you knew deep in your heart of hearts you wouldn't see them again." This weekend's event evolved out of smaller reunions organized recently by an almost underground group of overseas school alum ni, like Mrs. Schwentner of Washington, D.C. Schwentner, 48, formed the Kubasaki High School students' as sociation in the late 1980s to locate fellow alumni from the Okinawi school.
