Nixon education revenue sharing plan raises federal role
The Nixon administration unveiled a new federal education revenue sharing plan that would cut aid to about 1.1 million disadvantaged students while giving local districts control over spending. The proposal, backed by Caspar Weinberger, faced strong opposition in the House Education Committee from Democrats and some Republicans who warned of reduced aid and strings on instruction. Weinberger said funds would target disadvantaged students and emphasize basic math and reading, while Perkins and Meeds criticized the plan as federal overreach and budget cuts. President Nixon's request for 2.8 billion dollars this year was noted as a related figure.

Court Allows Longer Residency Rules For Voting
The Supreme Court, in a six to three ruling, allowed states to set residency periods up to 50 days for voter registration, signaling the 30 day limit is not rigid. Arizona and Georgia tied residency to registration deadlines, while the ruling excludes presidential elections. Justice Marshall warned against an unprincipled numeric approach without substantial evidence. In a separate six to three decision, the court also held that universities may not suppress campus speech solely because it is offensive.
