4,1985  \n# CONGRESS OPENS FOR BUSINESS,EDUCATION AGENDA FILLING UP\n\nThe 99th Congress officially convened yesterday,kicking off a two-year termthat is expected to bring the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act andthe National Institute of Education(NIE).  \nWork on an extension of the Higher Education Act,which includes authority formajor student aid and college funding programs,is expected to be a priorityfor the House and Senate education committees,perhaps through 1987,saycongressional aides.  \nAides also said that addressing President Reagan's fiscal 1986 budget proposal,a draft of which includes a spending freeze for most education programs,wil1top the committee agendas early this year.  \nThe number of seats on both the House and Senate education committees may alsobe reduced for the new Congress,aides said.During the last Congress theHouse Education and Labor Committee had 36 members and the Senate Labor andHuman Resources Committee had 18.\"I wouldn't be surprised if we got cut\"inmembership to 16,a Senate aide said.  \nAlthough new and reelected members of the House and Senate were_sworn in yes-terday,Congress is not expected to get into full swing until after Reagan'sinauguration Jan.21.--Robin Wilson  \n# STATE TAX REVENUE TO COLLEGES INCREASING,REPORT SAYS\n\nIn the last two fiscal years,public higher education institutions received anaverage of 16 percent more in state funds for operating expenses,according toa report by Illinois State University's Center for Higher Education.  \nThe average two-year gain for the 50 states from 1982-83 to 1984-85 was 16 per-  \ncent,markedly higher than the approximate 11 percent gain from 1981-82 to  \n1983-84--the lowest reported in many years.  \nMassachusetts colleges and universities had the highest relative increase from1982-83 to 1984-85,with a 36 percent gain in state funds to cover operatingexpenses,says the study.  \nThe report cautioned,however,that because of states'diverse tax structuresand higher education systems,no sweeping generalizations about funding in-creases can be drawn.Among the possible reasons for the increase,the reportsays,are that states experienced economic recoveries,increased taxes or aremoving toward educational reform。(more)  \n# STATE TAX REVENUE FOR COLLEGES INCREASING,REPORT SAYS(Cont.)\n\nThe study reports two-year and 10-year gains in the operating budgets of in-stitutions of higher education from state tax sources.The information appearsin the November-December issue of Grapevine,published by the center,whichcollects data on state appropriations to colleges and universities.  \nCompared with previous two-year gains,the report said the latest study foundmore states clustered around the nationwide average of a 16 percent increase,with approximately half of the states in the 12 percent to 17 percent range.  \nAt the higher end of the spectrum,10 states showed gains in the 20 percent to29 percent range,including Arizona at 29 percent,Tennessee at 27 percent,Arkansas at 26 percent and South Carolina with 25 percent.  \nSeven states had two-year gains of 9 percent or less,however.Oklahoma ranked50th with a 4 percent decrease,while North Dakota had no increase in supportand Hawaii had a1 percent increase over the two-year period.  \nFunding May FalterThe report says that the upturn in schools'1984-85state funds is encouraging,but the national economy is still somewhat uncer-tain,with\"doubt and disagreement concerning …the reduction of unemploy-ment,excessive interest rates and the condition of several major industries.\"  \nBut,it continues,there may be cause for optimistic forecasts.While manycommissions and task forces reported in 1983 on shortcomings in education inthe United States,they also offered many solutions,including 1mproved finan-cial support,administration and teaching·  Many of those proposals receivedattention from state governors and legislators,the study said,and if theinterest can be maintained,there could be\"significant positive","cbCailKluCj7j1DH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailKluCj7j1DH","pdf",1240903,"English","# CONGRESS OPENS FOR BUSINESS,EDUCATION AGENDA FILLING UP\n##
