Court: Phone rates unfair HARRISBURG (AP) Commonwealth Court yesterday reject ed part of a 1986 Public Utility Commission decision that allowed Continental Telephone Co. to charge customers outside its Em maus exchange higher rates. The Office of Consumer Advocate appealed, arguing that the decision allowing the company to set up the charges was discrimi natory and unreasonable. Assistant Consumer Advocate Daniel Clearfield said the court rejected “what we thought was an extremely troublesome deci sion.” Clearfield said Emmaus was exempted from a rate boost because of poor service in the district. However, he said the company was allowed to make up the lost revenues by charging other customers an average of 27 cents more each month. “It’s not other customers who should pay that difference." Clearfield said. Report confirms sleeping at TMI HARRISBURG ( AP) A shift supervisor at the dormant Three Mile Island Unit 2 power plant was fired last week after an investigation found the employee occasionally slept on duty for almost five years, officials said Monday.

Students borrowing more WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) College students borrowed $lO.l billion last year, received $9.7 billion in grants and earned $662 million on subsidized campus jobs, the College Board said yester day. In all, students received a total $20.5 billion in aid from state and local governments and the institutions themselves, or $535 million more than was available in 1985-86. The College Board said the pool of available student aid has grown by nearly 21 percent since 1980-81. when students received $l7 billion in assistance. After rising to $17.9 billion in 1981-82, it fell the next year to $16.6 billion but has climbed each year since then. College costs, however, have been climbing at twice the general rate of inflation in the 1980 s. Taking inflation into account, the pool of student aid has shrunk by 6.1 percent over the past seven school years, the College Board said. In constant 1982 dollars, the pool of aid fell from a high of almost $l9 billion in 1980-81 to $16.3 billion in 1982-83, then began rebound ing. It is currently the equivalent in 1982 dollars of $17.8 billion. One major reason for the steep drop in 1982-83 was that Congress and the Reagan administration phased out $2 billion in Social Security benefits for college students. Also, as Vietnam-era veter ans exhausted their eligibility for college aid. veterans' educational aid has shrunk from $1.9 billion to $448 million a year. world news briefs France,.
