To iew Faculty Role

By KENNETH WINTER
To what extent should faculties
be the decision-makers at colleges
d universities?
A statement being prepared by
e American Association of Uni-
rsity Professors attempts to an-
er this question and "suggests
me suitable means for establish-
ing the principles in practice."
Drafted by the AAUP's Commit-
tee T, the statement is "parallel
to the statements of Committee
A on academic freedom," Prof.
John P. Dawson, visiting professor
in the Law School and chairman
of Committee T, explained recent-
ly. The Committee A statement
is used as a criterion when the
AAUP considers censuring an in-
stitution for violation of academic
freedom.
Committee T's statement, in
preparation since 1959, has been
approved by the AAUP's national
council, but action at the national
meeting was postponed because the
American Council on Education
expressed interest in joining the
AAUP in a jointly-sponsored state-
ment.
Responsible for Education
As.it presently stands, the Com-
mittee T statement asserts that
"the faculty should have primary
responsibility for determining the

educational policies of the institu-
tion."
However, the statement notes
that governing boards and admin-
istrators, as well as faculties, have
a role to play in these decisions,
"since the interests of society in
the conduct of higher education
have been entrusted to all three
jointly. The responsibilities of each
group should depend upon its own
particular competence for the
functions it undertakes."
. The statement defines educa-
tional policies as "such fundamen-
tal matters as the subject matter
and methods of instruction, facili-
ties and support for research of
faculty members and students,
and standards for admission of
students, for academic perform-
ance and for the granting of de-
grees.
Some Student Aspects
"They also include those aspects
of student life that relate directly
to the educational process": for
example, limitations on extra-cur-
ricular activities in order to aid
academic performance, and regu-
lations affecting freedom of ex-
pression."
Faculty decisions in these areas
should be overruled "only in ex-
ceptional circumstances and for
reasons that are communicated
to the faculty," the statement says.

A less dominant but still active
faculty role is asked on decisions
"that may directly affect the edu-
cational policies.
"These matters include major
changes in the size of the student
body, significant alterations in the
academic calendar, the establish-
ment of new schools or divisions,
the provision of extension service
to the community and assumption
by the institution of research or
service obligations to private or
public agencies," the committee
explains.
Dollars and Cents
Concerning financial matters,
Committee T advocates a similar
pattern of faculty participation.
Funds directly allocated to educa-
tional functions "should be budg-
eted and expended in accordance
with the educational policies the
faculty has determined." On "the
other elements of the budget," and
when faculty units are competing
for certain funds, the faculty
should play a lesser role.
However, even here, "the faculty
should be informed of important
developments in administrative
planning, including proposed capi-
tal expenditures, should be con-
sulted on major issues of policy
involved in such developments, and
... should have means to express
its views," Committee T feels.
Also, appointments and other
personnel decisions on both facul-
ty and administrators should be
made with the "active participa-
tion" and, in most cases, the con-
currence of the faculty.

WASHINGTON ()-Next year's
military budget will provide for
"nibbling around the edges" of
huge United States forces posted
overseas but no significant troop
reductions in Western Europe or
the far east, informed sources said
yesterday.
These sources told a reporter
that whatever reductions are con-
templated will involve a further
cutback in rear echelon support
elements and probably some trim-
ming of tactical air units in Eur-
ope.
But they said they expect few,
if any, combat ground force cuts
abroad at least through the fiscal
year which starts next July and
runs to mid-1965.
The new budget, now in the
final stages of preparation, takes
into account the costs involved in
maintaining forces at planned
levels in various places.
Speculation about impending
big-scale United States troop
withdrawals, especially from Ger-
many, was stoked by the recent
"exercise big lift." This operation
saw air force transports carry
more than 15,000 soldiers of the
2nd Armored Division to West
Germany from Ft. Hood, Tex., in
less than three days.

Proposal Seeks Ban
On City Income Tax,
Food, Drug Levies
By THOMAS COPI
Lt. Gov: T. John Lesinski yes-
terday outlined a five-point fiscal
reform program that he thought
the Democratic Legislature would
approve, but a Republican leader
called Lesinski's proposals "unrea-
sonable."
In a letter to Gov. George Rom-
ney, Lesinski also commented to
the governor on what he called "a
last minute appeal for Democratic
assistance."
Lesinski's letter stated that he
thinks Democrats will support a
fiscal reform program that en-
compasses the following proposals:
Eliminate City Tax
"First, the taxpayers should not
be asked to pay three or four in-
come taxes. If there is to be a
state income tax, city income taxes
should be eliminated.
"Second, there should be prop-
erty tax relief for senior citizens
as promised by you in last year's
campaign. This means real relief;
no liens or interest on tax defer-
rals.
"Third, there should be provi-
sions made for adequate funds for
schools and for mental health. It
would be hypocritical for us to
say we have passed a program of
fiscal reform this year and come
back to the taxpayers next year
for more money.
No Food, Drug Tax

U.S. Considers
Reniewing Aid
To Viet m
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON-The State De-
artment has authorized United
ates Ambassador Henry Cabot
Lodge to begin discussions with
the new government of South Viet
Nam with a view to restoring full
economic aid to that country.
A department spokesman said
no time has been set for the dis-
cussions but that an announce-
ment could come very soon.
Such consultations were con-
templated when the United States
granted recognition to the new
South Vietnamese government
last week.
Program Reactivation
To come under discussion would
be reactivation of the commodity
import program, which had been
running to about $95 million a
year, and new agreements for
shipment of surplus foodstuffs
from the United States.
The spokesman pointed out that
military aid, which makes up the
bulk of all United States aid to
beleaguered South Viet Nam,
never had been shut off.
But economic aid, allotted quar-
terly, had tapered off in the last
weeks of the government of Presi-
dent Diem, which was overthrown
ently. "
Rebels Rally
Meanwhile, in Saigon, 200 arm-,
ed rebels of the formerly outlawed
Social Democratic Party have ral-
lied to the new revolutionary gov-
ernment with all their weapons,
the government announced.
Recruitment of these fighting
men, who have been campaigning
against United States-supported
government troops near the Cam-
bodian frontier, raised a question
as to how many guerrilla outfits
labeled Communist Viet Cong by
Ngo Dinh Diem's administration
may have been made up of non-
Communist foes of his regime.
The government of Premier
Nguyen Ngoc Tho hopes to win
over all of the non-Communist
oppositian parties, factions and
guerrillas and create a truly
united front against the Viet Cong
for the first time in South Viet
Nam's history.
Buddhist leaders called yester-
day for support of the new regime

for a change.
Conservative Resistance
Conservatives of the Curia,
whose 1000-man staff is predom-
inantly Italian, are resisting. They
clearly are not prepared for the
basic alterations some progressive
leaders are seeking.
Pope Paul suggested reform and
internationalization of the Curia
before his election to the Papacy
last June. Then, on Sept. 21, he
told the Curia he intends to re-
form whatever is archaic or su-
perfluous.
Now progressive prelates are
seeking in the council to put the
reforms into writing.
Shared Power
They also advocate a concept
of shared power between Pope
and bishops that could put them
in direct contact, without the in-
tervention of the Curia.
As part of the idea of shared
Papal-Episcopal power, there have
been increasing proposals in the
council for the creation of a per-I
manent body of bishops-a sort of
senate or college-to meet regular-
ly with the Pope. The creation of
such. a body obviously would re-
duce Curia powers.
It is generally accepted in Rome
that conservatives in the Curia
tried to block the Council when
Pope John XXIII first announced
his plans to summon the gather-,
ing in 1959.

Soviet Scientists Probe Anti-Matt

r

i

WASHINGTON (1P) - Soviet
scientists probably are seeking a
breakthrough in the field of "an-
ti - matter" which theoretically
could lead to a bomb with explo-
sive power thousands of times
mightier than today's most for-
midable weapons.
This is among other suggestions
advanced yesterday in a review
of "Soviet nuclear strategy," pre-
pared by the center for strategic
studies at Georgetown University.
Director of the center is retired
Adm. Arleigh Burke, former chief
of naval operations. The Soviet
strategy study was made by a
17-man panel of military men,
scientists, university faculty mem-
bers and writers.
Soviet Status Quo
Burke, in talking to newsmen,
said :
"One thing for certain is that
the aggressive Soviets have neither
changed their views nor their in-
tention to use nuclear weapons
if they ever think the use of

nuclear weapons will permit them
to dominate -the world, they will
use them."
This view is reflected in a por-
tion of the center's report. The
suggestion is made that the Rus-
sians, now doubting that they can
ever achieve anything more than
a balance-of-power factor with
existing weapons, are diverting re-
sources into far-advanced re-
search, aimed at entirely new fam-
ilies of weapons.
'Anti-Matter' Bomb
It is in this connection that the
discussion of a superpowerful,'
"anti-matter" bomb comes up. The
panel member talking to that
point is' Dr. Robert A. Kilmarx,
member of a special advisory
group for the Air Force's intelli-
gence branch.
Kilmarx says the Soviets may
upgrade basic research in the
field of anti-matter.
"Anti-matter theoretically could
produce energy several times that
