Viet SAIGON (A')-American flyers using laser-guided bombs brought down two railroad bridges in North Vietnam close to the Chi- nese frontier and blasted eight more bridges and two fuel de- pots elsewhere in the country, U.S. military spokesmen said yesterday. The attacks Monday on the pair of bridges on Hanoi's north- east rail line to China marked the second day of strikes within 25 miles of the Chinese border. The bridges 55 and 60 miles northeast of the North Vietna- mese capital were knocked out just hours before Peking warned the U.S. raids constituted "grave provocations" against China. Air Force F4 Phantoms hit the pre- viously unscathed bridges with 2,000-pound bombs guided by laser beams. Air Force, Marine and Navy fighter-bsombers flew 290 strikes over the North on Monday and damaged or destroyed two fuel depots within three miles of the nort city of Vinh, the U.S. Com- mand announced. American po- lots also hit eight other bridges, including one under construction 26 miles northwest of Haiphong, the command said. U.S. B52 bombers pounded communist supoly dumps near the North Vietnamese port city of Dong Hoi yesterday for the sixth straight day. The raids 21 to 60 miles northwest of the de- militarized zone were aimed at destroying war supplies destined for use by North Vietnamese troops in the South. Hanoi's official Vietnam News Agency claimed the North Viet- namese air force shot down two U.S. F4 fighter-bombers over the North on Tuesday and captured several American pilots. The U.S. Command did not report any losses. Ground action was relatively light in South Vietnam and little- progress toward breaking the 68- day siege at An Loc was report- ed. Refugees feeling the provin- cial capital 60 miles north of Saigon came under enemy fire and a government relief force, remained stalled o u t s i d e the devastated town.

On Prachechny Bridge, where you and I resembled the hands of a clock embracing at twelve before parting forever, not just a day- here on Prachechny Bridge today a fisherman suffering from a Narcissus complex, forgetting his bobber, gapes at his tremulous reflection. The river makes him young, then makes him old. First youthful features ripple forth, then wrinkles run upon his brow. He took our place. Oh well, he's right! Of late everything that's lonely is symbolic of a different time; and that is an order for space. Let him stare peacefully into our waves and even recognize himself. Now the river belongs to him by right, like a house into which someone moved a mirror, but never came to live. 1968 ADVISORY UNIT: Students, faculty given voice in deciding /U' budget matters By PAUL RUSKIN University students and fac- ulty gained a voice in deciding University budgetary matters rec'ntly with the establishment of the Office of Budgets and Planning. Consisting of a steering com- mittee and three substantive committees - budget priorities, long range planning, and pro- gram evaluation - the office was formed as an economic advisory unit to the University administration. The steering committee, is re- sponsible for controlling and coordinating the actions of the Bomb Crater 4 demand end to digging charges By DIANE LEVICK Three of the Bomb Crater Four, and 18 of their suppgrters confronted secretary to the Uni- versity Richard Kennedy and other officials yesterday in a vain attempt to have charges against them dropped. The Bomb Crater Four were arrested June 5 for digging sim- ulated craters on the Diag. They are presently freed on personal recognizance bond. Their trial is setfor July 20. John Goldman, one of the four, told Kennedy, "The Uni- versity is the criminal in this case." Fe demanded that Uni- versity end its "sought-after military research" as well as dis- miss charges against the four for "malicious destruction of prop- erty." Kennedy answered that the University had no present plans to drop charges. "I guess those people who dug were adequately warned beforehand," he said. Goldman then began an at- tack on the University's involve- ment in war-related research, prodding University officials for statements on it. Jay Hack, one of those arrest- ed, told Kennedy he possessed an Air Force document describ- ing a University project on syn- thetic aperture radar research for weapons delivery systems. This project. he said, had been rejected by the classified research committee, but the University had started work on it anyway. University guidelines' state that projects must not have the specific intent to in- jure human life. Kennedy refused to give an opinion on whether he thought the University was violating its own rules in that case. He said that policies had been estab- lished to deal with research done at the University. "If the guidelines have been See 'U', Page 7 substantive committees. It will be chaired by President Rob- ben Fleming, and will have one vice president; two deans, five faculty members, and two stu- dents nominated by SGC as members. "The task of the Long Range Planning Committee is to pro- pose goals for the University in the 1980's and 1990's, and sug- gest the sequence of steps which will be necessary in or- der to attain these goals," ac- cording to a report to the pres- ident's office. To accomplish these goals, the committee is responsible for informing itself about the goals and operation of the University, and for identifying new oppor- tunities for future expansion. The Long-Range Planning Committee. as well as the other two committees, consists of nine faculty members, as many as two deans, up to two vicepresi- dents, and three students ap- pointed by SGC. The Program Evaluation Com- mittee is responsible for re- viewing programs which are al- ready in operation and making suggestions for possible chang- es. The Budget Priorities Com- mittee is responsibile for sub- mitting recommendations for budgetary priority issues, taking into account information and plans developed by the Long- Range Planning and Program Evaluation Committees. According to David Heebink, executive secretary, the priori- ties committee's first job will be to decide what items should be cut from next year's budget if the State Legislature decides to allocate less to the University than requested. SGC member David Smith, (Grad.), who is on the Steer- ing Committee, is very critical of the composition of the com- mittees. He said that "at least five students should have been allowed on each committee" in order to "represent the full spectrum of student views. Stu- dents have gotten screwed." Heebink said that although the "final power rests in the hands of deans, vice-presidents, and department chairmen," the committees will function as "very strong advisory commit- tees to the administration."

Proffer By MERYL GORDON After weeks of genuine international intrigue, be- hind the scenes maneuver- ing and mounds of paper work, Soviet poet Iosif Brodsky is preparing a trans - Atlantic journey to accept a teaching post at the University. A surprising sequence of events led to thes32-year-old poet's decision to emigrate to the United States. On May 10, Brodsky was called before the Soviet Office of Visas and Registration. There Russian officials noted that Brodsky had received an invi- tation from Israel to emigrate six months earlier and they asked why he hadn't accepted. They told the poet that if he decided to leave for Israel, his See BRODSKY, Page 7 Shady character Bobby Byrne, whose identity was kept secret until the hearing started, tells a House Select Committee on Crime yesterday that he and his friends had fixed horse races at "just about every track on the East Coast." He said he could "tie up a race" in 10 days to two weeks and that he would use drugs to slow down most of the field.
