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.

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

President Carter kneels beside one of the
thousands of crosses in the American
Cemetery of Saint- Laure- nt at Omaha
Beach in northern France.
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

charged
with theft
Future as fireman

By Bob Schneider

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.
