The two parties' major differ- ence in allocating funds is in the community services cate- gory with Democrats proposing some $2 million and the HRP necessarv for CDRS, which grants $12 million over a six year period. The citizens' com- mittee has outlined no such long-term plan. A $100,000 recommendation by the citizens' committee for fire equipment was blasted by both parties as a normal city re- sponsibility and not in the spirit of CDRS.

Asked if he was returning1 for further talks, Fleming ans- wered, "I don't have any plans to go to California." THE SOURCE, who maintains close relations with several U-C regents, said yesterday that! while Fleming was viewed as! "a very able" candidate, his+ age could be a negative factor. "The question is, are the re- gents looking for someone who! can serve three to eight years,' or someone who can stay ten to 15 years?", he said.t The source added that some of the regents felt "somone closer to the generational changes going on" might make a better president. S O M E California observ- ors now say that Saxon may be the front runner for the $60,000 a year post. Formerly the vice chancellor of UCLA, Saxon was promoted last sum- mer to the newly created pro- vost position. A final decision on the U-C presidency is expected some- time within 30 days. Center focuses on freedom (Continued from Page 1) school; aggression and testing of authority, for example," she commented. "There's a point at which lines have to be drawn, and we all try to do is draw them in a non-authoritative way, so as not to create the Big Mad Teacher vs. Bad Little Kid re- lationship," she added. MURPHY admitted that she "sometimes feels like I'm at the end of the line." But, she em- phasized, "It's the business that's exhausting, not the kids." Murphy described the curricu- lum as "basically practical. We take nature walks, do plays, and I teach them about letters and numbers through games." She added, "We want to teach them beginning reading, too, but we take it easy, take them when they're ready. You can't push; you can't throw abstracts at them too fast." INITIATED in November 1973 by the Ann Arbor Tribal Council CCC is the city's second alternative educational center. It recently wrote up its elemen- tary school program and has constructed a small portable classroom in which classes will be held. Since local health and fire in- spectors have already approved the new building, the center on- ly awaits accreditation by the State Board of Education. "As soon as accreditation comes, we can go all the way to eighth grade, but we'll pro- bably stick with elementary, at least for the present," said Murphy. "We're limited by space, but we're going to try to take12 more than the four school-age kids we have now," she add- ed. In 1971, the highest bank in- terest rate was that of Brazil at 20 per cent, and the lowest, that of Morocco at 3 per cent. THE BAHA'I FAITH Foundation for World Civilization I Sun., Feb. 9 2:00 P.M.
