I' . Story on Page SA 70th Year - No. 94 om Morning! If's Friday, Jan. 6, J 978 2 Sections - 20 Pages - 15 Cents j t . . V " mt smmi By Susan Piageaua MssoaHac staff writer Gov. Joseph P. Teasdale is recommending that the legislature give the University $ 1 million for 1973- 7- 9, including salary increases of 3.6 percent Both the total recommendation and the salary increase are lower than the University and the Coordinating Board for Higher Education have requested, bait the total budget figure is sub-stantially higher than Teasdale's own office of administration proposed last month. The University asked for $ 149 million from the legislature, including a 10 percent salary in-- crease that President James Olson has said repeatedly is his top priority. The coordinating board recommended $ 139.6 million and the same salary increase. The office of administration proposed about $ 3 million less. The University's state appropriation for this year is $ 125.7 million. Olson was out of town Thursday and unavailable for comment, but University spokesman Guy Horton said the University will try to get the General Assembly to raise the governor's figures. I The salary increase recommended by the governor is the same as that provided for other state agencies, including 6.6 percent for cost- of-- living increases and 2 percent for merit raises. Teasdale's budget message, released Thur-sday, commends the University for Olson's cutbacks of $ 4.8 million in existing programs, calling the cuts a " responsible action, which Related story on Page MA recognizes that governmental activities must constantly be reexamined in light of changing priorities." The cuts have drawn sharp criticism from a number of faculty members. The governor's recommendation includes: k-- $ 1 million for library improvements at all campuses, one of Olson's high priority requests. " $ 1.6 million for health science im-provements, including expansion of the nursing program, improvement of biological science training and expansion of the veterinary residency program at the Columbia campus. y $ 699,794 for accelerated replacement of scientific and other expensive equipment. $ 400,000 for increased research in food production and nutrition in the College of Agriculture. The budget message notes that the recom-mendation to the legislature includes $ 2 million for inflation in expense and equipment costs, a greater allowance than given other state agencies. Teasdale is recommending $ 10.9 million for the University Medical Center, about $ 500,000 less than the coordinating board recommended to him. This is the first year that the budget for the hospital is being submitted separately from that of the University. In the current year, the hospital plans to spend about $ 10.3 million. The state appropriation makes up most, but not all, of the University budget. For next year, $ 44.8 million will come from student fees including a $ 4.5 million increase in fees and $ 2.4 million from grants, federal aid and other sources. The total budget recommended by the governor for 1978- 7- 9 is $ 206.2 million. Insight Columbia works like a coiporation Experts boil down roles of officials . By Merit Kimball sadCkeriDnffieaa E& ssatzri& s staff vrifers Columbia's city management is a corporate business. The city manager is the president of the corporation; the mayor, chairman of me board; the City Council, the board of directors; and the pub& c, stockholders. The analogy is drawn by David Thelen, University history professor, and others with different views of city government The biggest problem In today's government, Thelen says, is the adoption of corporate government The voters have less power in Columbia's council- manag- er form of government than in a system where a mayor heads city haU; Che ladr- flf- " abulfy to fire a city manage? ( disciplinary authority) makes the manager less responsive to the voters, he says. Richard Dobm disagrees. " How can someone who so depends on the council have too much power when be can be fired if he sneezes at the wrong time?" says the University's director of GovenimsEtal Affairs Programs aatd professor of local government Colombia City Manager Terry Novak counters mat poorer is in the eyes of the beholder. " People insist upon looking at the manager a? a leading power," Novak says. " I don't see him ( Novak) as too powerful; I see him as a mechanic," says Elizabeth Schmidt: Although she is the president of the League of Women Voters, she is not expressisg league opinion. A city manager who runs the city as a corporation is more effective than an elected administrator bacauae so much of city government work is " just keeping the store open." Management would be a major task for an elected mayor, she says. " It's up to the dry manager to make things happen." Novak does this with his knack of saying things in different ways o mat either a conservative or liberal council will approve the same idea, Mrs. Schmidt sag. The city manager puts a buffer bsiwsca the council and the public. This gives ideas a chance because, as a professional, he is removed from the polices of issues, she says. Dofen agreeg that the city manager has a " certain amount of Influence over titecexHjciL" Asapessfcml, thedty manager kraows more of day- to- d- ay affairs, and feat knowledge facilitates his continued input to the corociS.

Carter honors dead GIs OMAHA BEACH, Normandy, France ( UPI) Close to tears, President Carter Thursday paid solemn homage to thousands of GIs who died fighting the Nazis on Normandy beaches and vowed lie never will let it happen again. A band softly played " Auld Lang Syne." Amid rows and rows of gleaming white marble crosses and stars of David, Carter honored the 9,386 Allied soldiers who died in battle and declared their sons and their grandsons will keep Europe free. " We are determined with our noble allies here mat Europe's freedom will never be endangered again," he said. It was a chilly, bleak day at the American Cemetery of Saint- Lauren- t, but Carter knelt silently for long moments at a cross marking the grave of an unknown American who died at Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944 " The Longest Day." Then he rose and signed the guest registration book: " Jimmy Carter, U. S. A. " To the heroism of those who fought and died here for the freedom of us all." After his emotional visit to the landing beaches from which the Allies launched the attack that won the war in Europe, Carter returned to Paris to end his two- da- y stay in France. In other activities on the busy day. Carter: - Met with French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing on the three- ho- ur train ride back from Normandy. White House Press Secretary Jody Powell said the two found some areas of agreement, but " obviously there were areas in which they disagreed." Was Giscard's guest at a glittering state dinner at the Palace of Versailles, and attended a reception afterwards, mingling with many of the 3.5C0 guests who wandered through the salons and the Kail of Mirrors where the Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1918, ending World War I. After meeting with Giscard another hour today, Carter will head for Brussels for a six- ho- ur stay in which he will bold meetings at NATO and at the European Economic Community headquarters. He will arrive back in Washington tonight Tipton charged with theft Future as fireman to he decided today By Bob Schneider andJimWestfall MIssoarian staff writers Mel Tipton, secretary- treasur- er for Firefighters Union Local 1055, was charged Thursday with the theft of $ 1,191 from union coffers. Tipton was arraigned in Boone County Magistrate Court and bond was set at $ 2,503. He was released after posting 10 percent of the bond. At a closed union meeting Thursday night members voted to have an audit conducted the union's funds. Union international official Joe McMahon of St. Louis said the audit " has to be conducted by an outside firm," but he couldn't say when. The firefighters also approved the installation of Tipton's replacement, Ken Owens. Tipton had been re- elect- ed only last week. Tipton's future with the Fire Department will be determined today, said Fire Chief Girard Wren. Wren said he will meet with City Counselor Rhonda Thomas to decide on any disciplinary action. Tipton, 27, told union members Tuesday night that he had stolen money from the treasury over the past two years. The sis counts filed against Tipton only involve thefts during 1377. Prosecuting Attorney Milt Harper filed the charges. The union has not made a complaint to Harper--. A preliminary hearing in the case was set for Jan. 13. Darrell Buckler, president of the union local, said Wednesday that neither Tipton nor the union knows how much money is missing. " A rough estimate would be a little over $ 4,600," he said. Senate to vote Monday on Slavin for PSC By& dyCoz State cspftal bureau JEFFERSON CITY - The Missouri Saute will vote Monday on the nomination of Alberta Slavin to the Public Service Commission. . The Gubernatorial Appointments Committee agreed in a 6-- 1 vote Thur-sday to send the nomination of the St ' Louis consumer advocate, who has been serving on the PSC for several months, to the Senate floor without recommending whether she be con-firmed or rejected. This win be the first dear test of material courtesy, the long- standi- ng trsd& on which allows the senator in whose district ttse appointee lives to block the confirmation of an ap-pointment by the governor. Mrs. SSavzn's home district senator, Clifford Jones, H-- St Louis, refused to sponsor her nomination. Jones, a member of the csjsmtttee, cast the lone dissecting vote. Earlier during the fesarings he had refused again to sponsor Mrs. Savin's nomination, saying he had " personal objections" to it Senate President Pro- Tea- a Norman MerreH, D- Monfic-eHo, who is alio tfce committee eidarman, said " well find somebody" to ask that the sasnslaatioH becoofirmed. Jones told reporters after Gse cem-- ciftee vote that be will ask the Senate to reject tte aomication Mosday. " 1 have never predicted her chances en flbe Senate Soot," MerreSseid. " I've probably mas up my own mind, but I'm net telling anybody." Sea. Harriett Woods, rSt Louis Coisniy, a ssgspcrte? cf Mrs. Slavin, predicted the comisa& a will have the necessary 18 votes for confirmation. Tee vote-- ' cams after committee members questioned Mrs. Slavin for too hours and 48 minutes. The smastiee also beard testimony ' from James Mulvaney, past chairman of the PSC, who supported Mrs. Slavin, and Charles Doherty, president and chief executive cf Union Electric Co., who opposed the nomination. Committee members were concerned mainly with Mrs. Slavin's role as a cossumer advocate and the conflict of interest that could arise from such a background if she were to continue to serve cm tise PSC. Jones specifically asked if this situation did not disqualify Mrs. Slavin from utility rate hearings, citing her past involvement with the United Consumer Council of Missouri, a citizens' group formed by Mrs. Slavin to combat rate hikes by Union Electric. " It is quite possible to be an advocate without being prejudiced," she said. " We've never engaged hi any issue bused oa emotion." " You don't think you might have bias in this case?" Jones asked. " No, but they might have some bias against me," Mrs. Slavin replied. In response to another question, Mrs. Slavin, who ran for lieutenant goversor several yeare ago, said she no longer has political aspirations. Doherty, the only witness to testify against Mrs. Slavin's nomination, said her record as a consumer advocate precludes her membership on the PSC. " By every concept of fair play known, the nominee would not evas qualify as a juror, much leas as a judge, in utilities cases," Doherty said.
