TASK FORCE PROPOSES
REGULATION REFORM
By James Seda
In Washington, the new Regulatory
Reform Task Force has been formed to
seek proposals that would reduce unnec
essary government regulations.
The task force, headed by Congress
man Allen Ertel, will make recom
mendations to Congress for the reform
of regulations and the decontrol of
certain industries. Thus far, Congress
has approved reform legislation relating,
to banking, trucking, and airline indus
tries.
"Congress has been so fragmented on
regulatory reform issues that a serious
overview of the situation has been
impossible. Now, with the task force, we
hope to have a mechanism by which we
can look at the whole picture and
recommend solid proposals to reduce
cumbersome government regulations
and get this country moving more
smoothly. It is one of the keys to greater
American productivity," said Ertel.
The 23-member bi-partisan commit
tee will provide Congress with briefings
and analysis on key regulatory issues ane
will make specific recommendations.
Minority Accounting Scholarships
Scholarships of up to $lOOO are
available for minority students from the
American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants.
Minority students majoring in un
dergraduate accounting, and minority
graduate students in business should
contact Wayne Nelson, Financial Aid
Counselor (ext. 6250), for full details.
All application materials and tran
scripts must be received by the Institute
by December 1, 1980 for consideration
for the Spring.
Information is also available from the
Admissions/Financial Aid Office in
Room 214 of the Multi-Purpose Building.
