 \nThursday,April 18,1985  \nWILL,GARDNER CLASH ON HANDICAP VIEWS;GROUPS REQUEST GARDNER RESIGN  \nThe Education Department's top administrator for handicap policy yesterdayseparated herself from the views of a high-level ED adviser whom disabilityrights advocates yesterday asked President Reagan to remove.  \nMadeleine Will,assistant secretary for ED's Office of Special Education andRehabilitative Services,told the Senate education appropriations subcommittee,\"I don't agree with those personal views\"of Eileen Gardner,a member of Educa-tion Secretary William Bennett's newly created Office of Educational Philosophyand Practice.  \nAt a hearing Tuesday,subcommittee Chairman Lowell Weicker,R-Conn.,assalledBennett for hiring Gardner,who has written that federal services for hand1-capped children \"have been purchased at the expense of academically talentedstudents\"(HED,April 17).  \nGroups Seek Resignation      A dozen national disability organizations,headedby the Disability Rights Education and Defene Fund,yesterday sent Reagan atwo-page letter asking for Gardner's resignation.\"Ms.Gardner says there isno injustice in the universe,that we have somehow earned our disabilities andthat those of us who seek equal opportunities are'ineffective malcontents.'This belief is an outrage and an insult to the fundamental principles of Ameri-can democracy,\"the letter reads.  \n\"I live in a part of the universe,senator,where the central purpose of indi-viduals'lives is to help the handicapped,\"Will said at a hearing of the Sen-ate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor,Health and Human Services and Educa-tion.\"I feel very comfortable with these people.\"  \nWeicker praised Will,saying \"You're a good soul.\"But he added,\"I don't knowhow you're going to live with the creeps we saw before.\"  \nThe senator was referring to Gardner and Lawrence Uzzell,whom the senator sum-moned to the same hearing to explain their controversial views on the federalrole in education.  \n\"There is a limited amount of money available for education programs and if 10times as much is spent for education of the handicapped per pupil,there arenine normal children for whom spending will be decreased,\"Gardner told Weickeryesterday during a hearing attended by dozens of handicapped individuals.  \nGardner,who was a policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation before coming toED this week,said she questions\"whether we as a society should make super-human efforts to bring every handicapped person up to the average or even toeducate every handicapped person to the limit of his or her potential.\"  \n(more)  \nApril 18,1985  \nWILL,GARDNER CLASH ON HANDICAP VIEWS;GROUPS REQUEST GARDNER RESIGN(Cont.)  \nUzzell,who joined ED two weeks ago,is studying tuition tax credits and educa-tion vouchers.Yesterday he reaffirmed his belief that with the exception ofthe National Center for Education Statistics,\"every federal elementary andsecondary education program,\"including funds for educating the handicapped,should be eliminated(HED,April 11).  \nIn a statement released by ED after yesterday's hearing,Bennett said,\"We mustmake every effort to ensure that all Americans be given the opportunity to re-ceive quality education regardless of his or her…handicap.\"He saidUzzell's comments regarding elimination of handicapped programs\"do not in anyway reflect the views of this administration or the secretary of education.\"  \nBennett said,\"President Reagan and I are fully committed to supporting …theEducation of the Handicapped Act,and as secretary of education I intend to ag-gressively enforce these regulations.\"The secretary yesterday did not commenton the request for Gardner's resignation.--Robin Wilson  \n# VOC ED,NTID BUDGET REQUESTS
