Regents Approve Kerr Reorganization Plan By MICHAEL BADAMO University of California President Clark Kerr has recommend- ed to the university's Board of Regents that sweeping changes be made in the organization and control of the massive University of California's nine campuses giving the chancellors of the individual campuses more autonomy.1 The Regents at their June 18 meeting in San Francisco ex- , pressed general approval of the proposals made by Kerr. . Kerr implemented July 1 most of the aspects falling within his present authority. He requested the Regents to consider making greater delegation of their authority, to enable further adminis- trative decentralization on the campuses level. Asks Amendments He announced he would request the university's general coun- cil to draft amendments to the Standing Orders of the university necessary to implement the proposals. Kerr indicated that the four areas of administration that would be centralized are: academic personnel; budget adminis- ; tration; grants and contracts, and grounds and buildings. In general, Kerr called for large scale delegation of adminis- trative authority to each chancellor, with the president and the + Regents retaining only those, powers which Kerr described as 1 "essential to the maintenance of a strong and unified University of California." Academic Personnel Concerning academic personnel, the main proposal was that the chancellors be permitted to approve all appointments and promotions to the ranks of associate professor and professor. Only those few appointments involving salaries in excess of the univer- sity's basic academic salary scale and appointments of "Regents Professors" would continue to require university-wide approval under Kerr's proposal. Kerr submitted to the Regents the following resolution of the Academic Council, adopted at its meeting on June 16: "We applaud President Kerr's efforts in the area of increased administrative decentralization. Because of the critical importance and great complexity of the problem and because of the absence of many faculty members during the summer months, we recom- mend that final action on the president's proposals not be taken until such time as local and university wide agencies of the Academic Senate have had opportunity to offer their advice and suggestions." Approval of Grants Kerr also called for changes which would permit some 98 per cent of all grants and contracts to the University of California to be approved on the campus level. The president would retain lit i.a approval authority over proposals involving more than one campus and over major Atomic Energy Commission contracts, contracts with foreign governments, and grants and contracts involving major construction or commitments continuing more than five years. In the field of budget administration, Kerr announced that new policies would go into effect on July 1 giving each campus greater flexibility to transfer funds within the campus budget. Under Kerr's action an estimated 98 per cent of all budget trans- fers would be finally approved at the campus level. Kerr called for a substantial increase in the authority of the chancellor for the administration of the University of California's capital outlay and grounds and buildings programs. This includes the appointments of architects for individual projects and the authority to approve construction contracts to the lowest bidder. Kerr's four proposals stressed an increasing role for univer- sity wide administration in developing university-wide policies and reviewing campus performance with respect to such policies. He also indicated that he will make regular reports to the Regents in each of the areas, evaluating performance of the programs. Officials indicated that the liberalization was not a direct effect of the student demonstrations at the Berkeley campus last fall - though the disturbances had affected the timing of the recommendations. Asserts Probable Tuition Increase May Hike In-State Rate $50; Out-of-State Fee May Jump 8100 By BRUCE WASSERSTEIN A tuition hike averaging about $50 per year for Michigan residents and $100 for- out of state students will "very probably" be approved at the next Regents meeting, a high administrative source indicated yesterday. The fee increase would yield about $1.6 million in additional revenue for the University, the source said. Because some administrators feel that all undergraduates within the same school should pay the same rate, there is a good chance that the fees for freshmen nd sophomores will be raised more Seventy-Four Years of Editorial Freedom VOL.

Viet Cong guer- rillas overran Ba Gia early Monday but withdrew after about 90 minutes. They remained in the area, however, raining mortar rounds into the compound the rest of the day. North Vietnamese Missile Sites Now Ready for Action WASHINGTON (IP)-The State Department reported yesterday two missile sites in North Viet Nam are now ready to take Soviet sui'face-to-air missiles and two other sites are rapidly nearing that state of readiness. Heretofore the State Department had confirmed that one missile site had been observed in the Hanoi area and said there might be a second site in the same vicinity. At the same time, neither State nor Defense authorities would completely rule out the possibility that Soviet surface-to-surface medium-range missiles are in North Viet Nam. In response to news reports to this effect the Defense 60,000 B-52 Planes Blast Jungle Near Saig-on Viet Cong Ambush Government Convoy; Sink One of 28 Boats DA NANG WP) - About 8000 more United States Marines be- gan landing in South Viet Nam today to beef up the force of Leathernecks already in the coun- try, a U.S. spokesman announced. The Marines came ashore at beaches near the strategic Da Nang air base from U.S. Navy ships in the South China Sea. The new arrivals will bring the total of U.S. military personnel to nearly 60,000, including about 25,000 Marines. Some 9500 Ma- rines are already stationed in and around Da Nang. Security The U.S. spokesman declined to say what the specific mission of the new Marine force would be, but it was assumed they would be used to provide additional secur- ity for the big base from which many of the air strikes on North Viet Nam are flown. Viet Cong guerrillas infiltrated the base last week despite the heavy Marine guard around it and three U.S. Air Force planes were destroyed. U.S. Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara announced on June 16 that another 16,000 to 21,000 U.S. Army troops and Marines were being moved to South Viet Nam and would be in place in a few weeks. Blast D-Zone As landing craft began ferrying the Marines ashore at Da Nang, U.S. Air Force B-52 bombers again blasted the dense, Communist- infiltrated jungle northeast of Saigon with heavy explosives. It was the third such strike by the big strategic air command bombers, which are based at Guam, 2200 miles away. The B- 52's pounded the so-called "D- Zone," 35 miles northeast of Sai- gon, on June 18 and again on Monday. A 2500-man allied task force plodded through one section of the almost impenetrable Viet Cong lair yesterday blowing up tun- nels and the abandoned huts of guerrillas in one section of the D Zone. The soldiers were virtually unopposed, except for some hos- tile dogs. There was no immediate dis- closure on the number of planes in the raid or any assessment of damage. In another action 20 miles north-northwest of Saigon last night, the Viet Cong ambushed a 28-boat government river convoy, By GEORGE ABBOTT WHITE "As we have heard, as we shall continue to hear hopefully, these are the days of radicalism." Speaking at the first Noon Lunch Discussion of the summer, Tony Stoneburner - poet, PhD candidate in English, Methodist minister-presented "one of the most radical pieces of theology" in years: "The Secular City" by Harvey Cox. Stoneburner suggested the pow- er of Cox's argument for the vir- tues of the Secular City by a story of a "Cox-Playboy Maga- zine" tilt that occurred earlier this year at the Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology. Collegians who had brought Playboy's as sym- bols of their "bold sexuality" were sent home somewhat shaken in the realization that Playboy was, in reality, deathly afraid of freedom and responsibility - of sexuality. 'Table-Turning Shock' "Cox's book is a series of in- tricate arguments whose result is table - turning and shock for many," Stoneburner began. "It commends organization, seculari- zation (as distinct from secular- ism), pragmatism, mobility, pro- fanity and the multiversity. It condemns the prevalent proposi- tion that the job of each is a divine calling, the 20th-century concern for the doctrine of the Church, and suggests that "I- Thou" relationships may not only be unnecessary in our changing world, but often potential chaos- creators." Stoneburner made clear that Cox "offers few original insights. His particular virtue and the ex- citing strength of the book is that it makes coherence of the insights of younger theologians.' He mentioned Dietrich Bonhoef- fer, whose effect upon contem- porary theology may be likened in its creative radicalness to insights by Einstein and Whitehead and continued: "Cox's book is exciting because it is radical, because it makes clear once and for all that there is no hope for Christianity if it is not radical." Disintegration Stoneburner then gave an over- view of the book: "Cox interprets the disintegration of Christendom where the God of myth and meta- physics dies and man "comes of age," where he has freedom and responsibility and takes over the job, God-the-Father had begun." The Secular City contributes to this evolutionary maturity by sig- than those for juniors and seniors the source said. Presently juniors and seniors pay higher tuition than freshmen and sophomores. Recommendation The source indicated that a tui- tion hike will be recommended by the executive officers of the Uni- versity to the Regents. He also commented that the possibility of the fee hike has been discussed with therRegents at past meetings this year. Although the Regents have the full power to accept or reject the recommendations of the executive branch of the University, the of- ficial source indicated that the Regents have been very receptive to the idea of the fee hike. The Regents meeting at which the hike will probably be announc- ed will take place this Friday if Gov. George Romney signs the legislature's appropriation bill for higher education this week, the source said. He pointed out that notices were sent to the Regents to keep Friday open and that the education bill reached Romney's desk yesterday. Two Weeks According to state law, Romney has two weeks to act on a bill from the day it reaches his desk If he neither signs the bill nor vetoes it, the bill will automatical- ly become law. Although Romney has indicated that he will not veto the supple- mentary legislative appropriation to teacher's salaries which allo- cates $900,000 to the University he has not yet officially indicated his attitude toward the higher education bill as a whole. Most observers, however, con- sider it very unlikely that the gov- ernor will veto the entire measure indicating that the University's appropriation is fairly safe. The $51.2 million figure is only $1.2 million higher than Romney's owr recommendation. According to the administrativ source, the necessity of the fe hike is determined by the gar between the projected operatin expenses of the University for a fiscal year and the amount o: money appropriated by the stat legislature. $51.2 Million This year the Legislature ha passed an appropriations bill al- locating the University a total o: $51.2 million. Although a recor high, this total is several millior dollars less than the University requested. The Regents had requested a $55 million appropriation. Last year the University wa given $44 million by the Legisla- ture. John Feldkamp, assistant to thi vice-president for student affairs has said in the past that if a tuition hike is passed, the offic of financial aid will make avail able additional funds, grants an loans to needy students. He said that provisions were al ready being made to cover th added expenses of the recentl: passed dorm fee hike. The last tuition increase was n 1962. The probable passage of the tui tion hike will follow an increas of dorm fee rates by $50, an nounced a few weeks ago by th Regents. Taking into account th $35 quad rate hike put into effec last fall, residence hall assess ments have increased by about 1 per cent in the last two years. -Charles Burling o TONY STONEBURNER considers a question on "The Secular City," by Harvey Cox. Stoneburner, a critic and creative writer as well as Methodist minister, gave the first of the Office of Religious Affairs "Luncheon Book Discussion Series" yesterday at the Union. Tories Win Three Votes Over Labor LONDON (P)--Britain's Labor government was staggered by three sudden voting defeats in the House of Commons early today. The opposition Conservatives registered majorities of more than a dozen votes in the biggest par- liamentary blow to Labor's pres- tige since it took office last Oc- tober. Jubilant Tories shouted "out" and "resign." No Elections Government spokesman imme- diately put out word that Prime Minister Harold Wilson would not quit office and call new elections, since Labor, along with Liberal opposition in Commons, does not view the votes as a basic issue of confidence. Nevertheless, the defeats did come on a clause in the finance bill, always considered the most important piece of legislation in any parliamentary session. First Defeat The first Labor defeat today gave the Conservatives a majority of 14. The vote of 180-166 was Labor's first defeat on the finance bill. The vote was on a Conservative motion designed to limit the effect of the government's new capital gains tax on investment trusts, a popular method of investment for small savers. Immediately afterward the gov- ernment suffered a second defeat, this time by 13 votes on a techni- cal motion concerning the same clause. Adjournment Edward Heath, chief Conserva- tive spokesman on finance, then moved that the House should ad- journ further discussions of the finance bill. This was a device to force a third vote, and still fur- ther embarrass the government. The third vote produced an- other 13-vote majority for the opposition. Little more than half the House took part in the voting. The high- est turnout was 346 votes, com- pared to a total membership of 629 since 1 seat is vacant. naling the end of two previous epochs. Stoneburner outlined them as "tribal society and town socie- ty, with revolutionary changes be- tween, culminating in the new and present epoch of Technopolitan society. In the first, man was mythic and magical; he was inti- mately related to nature and the gods. "It was a closed system of com- pact meanings in which there was no room for any transcendent point of view. The second, town, was where metaphysical and reli- gious man emerged with discon- tinuity between man and God, man and nature. Technopolitan so- ciety, our present, Cox suggests, is where man understands in prag- matic ways." 'Double Standard' In Cox's book, every cultural ex- pression, including the Church, is examined and measured by a "double standard"-what is hap- pening in the world and Biblical faith, Stoneburner said. The real value of Cox's book seems to be that it is big-fisted, multi-faceted, intellectually; it brings a whole group of disci- plines to work on a whole group of phenomena and brings them to a convergence. 'Who Knows God' Stoneburner worked to the crux slowly: "Man is no longer saddled with the Man-God relationship of the two earlier epochs. He is an adult come to his father's position, he receives the inheritance: this world and full responsibility for its operation and direction." Then he threw a "blasphemous-bombshell," by asking: "Who knows God inti- mately now?" There was a stunned silence into which he rushed, "The mys- tics did earlier perhaps, but now, in our world today, in the Tech- nopolis, God calls us to work with Him, to work out His plan!" The radical echoes of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and his man-for-oth- ers, his condenmation of "cheap grace," his concern for "this world," became roars. Stoneburner concluded with a reference to Genesis where Man names and has care of the Gar- den. "Man can realize the Tech- nopolis. Now he can do; he has the knowledge and the techniques. Man is now the heir of what his Father has prepared." HAROLD WILSON Recognition of Algeria Given WASHINGTON (MP)-The United States has granted recognition to the new Algerian government of Col. Houari Boumedienne, the State Department announced yes- terday. And it was disclosed that Presi- dent Lyndon B. Johnson has sent a reply to Boumedienne's message of congratulation to the U.S. on its July 4 Independence Day ob- servance. The S t a t e Department an- nounccement of recognition ended formally two weeks of uncertainty about U.S. policy. It opens the way for developing normal U.S.- Algerian business relations and possible negotiation of a new aid agreement between t h e two nations. Department has said only "we have no evidence of any surface- to-surface sites in North Viet Nam." No Attacks Although reconnaissance planes and drones have kept close tabs on the progress of the surface-to- air missile site work no effort has been made to knock out the in- stallations. Contingency plans have been made to deal with this threat. The method to be used would depend on the stage of development of the sites at the time of any United States attack. If the sites were to be hit be- fore the missiles were operational, it might be done by conventional bombing. However, if the U.S. attack were launched after the antiaircraft missiles were in fir- ing position, the U.S. planes prob- ably would try to come in at low level and fast to avoid being I GRAFFMAN FEATURED: 'U' usca Society Begins Summer Bill1, By KAY EMERICK Y The University Musical Society presents the first of four pro- :> grams in its second annual Summer Concert Series tonight.
