In YR Poll By Chicago Committee
The office of the Vice-President
and Chief Financial Officer has
been restructured to replace the
former position of Vice-President
for Business Affairs. The post was
vacated last April when Gilbert
Lee left the University to assume
the post of Vice-President and
Chief Financial officer at the
University of Chicago.
The decision to revise the struc-
ture of the office rather than to
appoint a new vice-president was
made "to reduce the number of
vice-presidents in the University."
according to James Brinkerhoff,
director of business operations.
Brinkerhoff, who assumed some
of Lee's former duties adds, "Any
operation of this size likes to keep
the number of men on the vice-
presidential level at a minimum."
"Lee was given the title of vice-
president in 1966 in recognition of
the duties which-he had amassed
over a period of time," he contin-
ues. "No change in duties was
made at that time."
Under the structure which was
used while Lee was with the Uni-
versity, Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer Wilbur K. Pier-
pont's office .was divided into two
parts. The operations sections of
the office were administered by
Lee who reported to Pierpont. The
planning and policies sections re-
ported directly to Pierpont.
When Lee left the University.
his duties were divided among,
several of the remaining office
staff. Those departments which-
had been reporting to Lee began:
to report directly to Pierpont.
Under the new structure. the
office has been divided into sev-
eral functional units. The de-
partments concerned with busi-
ness operations are now under the1
direction of Brinkerhoff. The ac-c
counting operations have been
grouped under Controller HowardF

How Many VC Died Today?
By The Associated Press
How does the U.S. Command
in Saigon arrive at those figures
on enemy dead in Vietnam? By
body count, say American
spokesmen there. But the Pen-
tagon concedes that sometimes
they are just estimates.
"When they can count, they

official. "Otherwise they esti-

McNamara has suggested that
the figures of Communist cas-
ualties be "used with a great
deal of caution." He added that

Military informants said the
U S. casualty reports were be-

called for measurable indicators
of progress in the war.
At first the figures came only
Sidle said the body counts
may be made by squad, or pla-
toon size units, and never more
than company size. This indi-
cated, he said, that the figures
did not result from "estimates
or guesstimates."
These field counts are relayed
to battalion level, Sidle said,
and then up the chain of com-
mand to division, which issues

headquarters.
Sidle insisted that casualties
resulting from bombings, straf-
ing by planes and helicopter
gunships, as well as those
caused by artillery fired from
great distances were not esti-
mated or added into the to-
tals "unless someone actually
gets in there and counts the
bodies."
Correspondents who have
been in the field claim that
body counts are questionable.
The field commander has plen-
ty to do after a battle, secur-
ing his perimeter, and taking
care of wounded, and counting
enemy dead is the least of his
worries. - As a result, corre-
spondents say, a subordinate
usually makes the count or, if
the situation is critical, a bat-
tlefield estimate is made.
Military sources acknowledge
that it is impossible to get any
accurate count in cases where
a Communist unit is caught by
an artillery barrage or air
strike and only pieces of bodies
litter the area.
And yet figures are given on
KBA, or killed by air. Such
counting is supposed to be done
by pilots of relatively slow, low

National Structure
Spock's address came as the as-f
sembly neared the end of the sec-
ond day of its four-day convention
at the Statler-Hilton Hotel.
The session proceeding Spock's
address dealt with the problem of
formulating a statement on the;
Vietnam war, with the body split,
on the effectiveness of such a'
statement should it be issued.,
However, several delegates indi-
cated the drafting of a peace state-'
ment was not the primary function
of the convention.
When asked to advice the group'
in deciding on the resolution,
Spock said: "The cause of this,
organization is the promotion of
good health care and this may be
related to war and peace. But
whether the statement is made or
not, the question can still be dis-
cussed."
There will be further discussion
on the proposed resolution today.
Socialized Medicine
The major portion of Spock's
address concerned socialization
of medicine in the United States.
He said, "We in the medical pro-
fession have enough people right
