Remedial learning grows as a major issue in higher education with Nebraska Omaha data showing nearly half of 1500 freshmen need grammar help and a fifth require reading instruction. The piece argues these gaps reflect broader societal trends, from television culture to lapses in K12 basics, and cautions about long term costs.
A reader letter critiques public aid for parochial schools and argues education funding safeguards liberties. The piece questions Vatican influence, cites Parade magazine figures, and accuses The Gazette of pushing a hidden political agenda through editorials on Church subsidies and nonpublic school funding.
A lengthy letter critiques The Gazette for pro Vatican influence and editorial bias regarding church aid. It argues the Constitution mandates church-state separation and condemns government funding of religion while noting 29 states spend 400 million yearly on tuition grants.
A Harris survey of 1,625 adults shows President Carter with 61 percent overall positive rating and 64 percent for personal confidence in the White House. Public support favours several foreign policy positions while remaining split on others, indicating selective backing rather than full consensus.
Congressional Quarterly reports on whether the United States should manufacture the so called neutron bomb for use in Europe. The plan aims to deter a Soviet attack with a limited blast affecting troops more than structures. President Carter urges considering production with an Aug 15 decision. Critics warn of escalating risk and NATO reliance on nuclear retaliation.
Senator Sam Nunn argues that Soviet deterrence rests on credible use of weapons not just on headline warheads. He warns that if U S thinking signals excessive caution the result could be weaker deterrence and higher risk of Soviet aggression. The Army stresses strict control of tactical nukes with preplanned, time and area limited packages to dampen escalation.
The piece argues that the neutron bomb raises unpredictable questions about deterrence and escalation. It notes that even with low yield, neutrons may not drastically extend lethal range, and both sides could procure such a weapon. It portrays stockpiling as wasteful, dangerous, and morally problematic.
Senator Dick Clark argues that limited use of nuclear weapons risks expansion and a dangerous precedent. Opponents warn Soviet retaliation with tactical nukes could erase any cap on restraint and NATO command confusion risks miscalculation. Senator H. John Heinz III calls neutron weapons immoral as they kill people without destroying structures.
