Telephone Firms Backing Proposed Reform Act
Industry spokesmen urged Congress to pass the Consumer Communications Reform Act of 1976 to curb FCC policy shifts they say threaten universal service and could raise home phone rates 60 to 70 percent. They back the bill to reaffirm state authority, regulate licenses for specialized carriers, and prevent arbitrary pricing that favors large urban users over rural and home customers.

Allen University fires Dr. Glover amid board dispute
Dr Benjamin Glover, president of Allen University, is dismissed by the AME Church aligned board amid allegations of misappropriation of about 37000 in school funds since 1973. Glover contends the board denied him a hearing and cites state law for rejected extensions. He previously faced dismissal in 1967 after student protests. He says the money covered travel and residence costs. The South Carolina Supreme Court later ruled Allen a private institution and upheld the suspension.
