PARIS — France reported

seven persons were killed in
the bombing, including a
woman official of the French legation. They said chief
Pierre Susini was injured seriously, along with a visiting
Albanian diplomat and his chauffeur.
Hanoi broadcasts, French news reports and the Swedish
government flatly blamed U.S. bombing for the destruction
of the legation in the heart of the North Vietnamese

embassy was blown off.

Regents ask
budget increase
By MARK N1CKELSON
State affairs editor
MACON — The Board of Regents
yesterday informally approved a $66
million increase in the budget
request of the University System for
1974, including a request for
increased state appropriations for
faculty salaries and benefits.
The 1974 fiscal year budget,
prepared by the chancellor's office,
calls for a total of $343 million, $66.8
million more than the University
System’s 1973 budget.
The Regents did not vote approval
of the budget, which must be
submitted by Chancellor George L.
Simpson to Gov. Jimmy Carter on
Oct. 31. because a quorum was not
present at their meeting. Copies of
the budget will be mailed to all the
Regents, and the document will be
submitted to Carter unless objections
are raised by one of the members.
The proposed budget calls for state
appropriations increases in faculty
salaries, research and extension
funds, faculty benefits support,
scholarships, hospital operating
Flamenco in Athens
Famed flamenco dancer Jose Greco performed yesterday in the Women's P.E.
building Greco gave a lecture on Spanish Flamenco dancing along with his
recital With Grecc were his partner Nana Lorea, his pianist and his lead
ETamenco guitarist The dancer explored the history and emotions in Spain
that gave rise to the characteristic Flamenco dancing with its flowing
movements and staccato heel clicks. He demonstrated the many techniques
and variations of the dance from the regions of Spain. Yesterday afternoon, he
gave a lecture and demonstration to physical education students Greco and
Lorea were sponsored by the entertainment division of the University Union
funds, and junior college starting
budgets.
A NEW line item in the budget
request is state support for a lowered
retirement vesting period for faculty.
At the recommendation of the
chancellor, the Regents approved a
request for funds to lower retirement
vesting from the existing 2u-year
period to five years. The lowered
vesting time will apply to college and
public school teachers, if the state
approves it. and will cost the state
an additional $3.5 to $4 million. About
one third of that amount will be
vested for retirement of University
System employes.
Under the current retirement
policy, the state contributes 7.75 per
cent of a teacher's gross pay to the
Georgia Teacher Retirement Sys
tem, and deducts six per cent of his
gross salary for retirement
The teacher can withdraw his six
per cent whenever he leaves the
University system, plus three per
cent interest on the sum, but under
the current 20-year , vesting, he
cannot collect the state's contribu
tion unless he has worked for the
system at least 20 years.
Simpson described yesterday's
lowered vesting request as "a pretty
radical move in the fringe benefits
area " Associate Vice Chancellor
John W Hooper said 10-year vesting
might be a more realistic request,
but the Georgia Teacher Retirement
System is also promoting five-year
vesting
OTHER BENEFITS increases in
the proposed budget are a larger
state contribution to faculty health
insurance programs and a standard
ized basic life insurance program
The Regents discussed three other
proposed benefits improvements but.
in accord with Simpsons recom
mendation, decided not to include
them in the budget request They
were disability insurance, liability
insurance and availability of TIAA-
CREF, a national teachers' retire
ment program, as an alternate to the
Georgia Teacher Retirement Sys
tem
THE BUDGET proposal includes a
10 per cent salary increase Teachers
got a 7.5 per cent salary increase in
the 1973 budget.
Dr Mario Goglia. vice chancellor
for research, reported a crisis in
research funds at the Regents'
Tuesday session. Support for re
search peaked in 1968, and since then
not only have the Regents budgeted
less for research, but the cost of
conducting research has risen,
resulting in a net loss in productivity
of the University System, he said
“In order to maintain our pace
nationally, the Regents will have to
consider ths situation in making next
year’s budget," Goglia said.
Goglia estimated it would take a 25
to 30 per cent increase in research
funds to maintain current status The
1974 budget proposal calls for
increases in funding for the
agricultural experiment stations, the
Skidaway Oceanography Institute
and the Engineering Experiment
Station, among other programs.
DEAN IIENRY Garren of the
University's College of Agriculture
presented a projection of costs at the
agricultural experiment stations
indicating that the amount needed
for their operation will continue to
increase annually through 1977.
Garren also spoke to the Regents
on the threat to the poultry industry
from the new Asiatic strain of
Newcastle's disease. Garren said
Newcastle's disease is a respiratory
ailment in chickens that makes them
unfit for sale because it affects not
only the basic respiratory system but
also air sacs all over a chicken's
body.
The poultry industry has been
vaccinating its flock, with about 80
per cent success, against traditional
Newcastle's disease, but the vac
cination doesn't work on an Asiatic
strain introduced this year on the
West Coast, Garren said.
GARREN BELIEVES the research
talent at the College of Agriculture
can find an innoculation against the
new strain of Newcastle's disease,
and told the Regents his professors
could begin a project for $100,000.

HEW complaint filed
on nepotism policy
By LESLIE THORNTON
Assistant news editor
A complaint against the Univer
sity's nepotism policy has been filed
through the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare (HEW).
Karen Feste Hanson, whose
husband Roger Hanson was an
assistant professor in the political
science department, sought employ
ment in the same department but
was denied the job she wanted
because of the Board of Regents'
nepotism policy which does not allow
realtives to be employed in the same
department
The Civil Rights division of HEW
in Atlanta confirmed the filing of Ms
Hanson's complaint. Louis Bryson,
senior civil rights specialist, would
not comment on the nature of the
case "At this point, this specific
case has not been resolved." he said.
Bryson explained that when an
individual files a complaint with
HEW it is investigated and a letter of
their findings is sent to the
institution against which the com
plaint is made.
"If we decide in favor of the
complaintant. then we let the
insitution know," Bryson said. "If
there is disagreement and it reaches
the point where the institution and
the regional office can’t agree, it is
sent to Washington."
BRYSON SAID the Hanson com
plaint had been investigated and
HEW was "in the process of putting
it together.” He said if there were
some disagreement, HEW and the
University would then enter into
negotiations.
“I assume the University will be
exonerated in this case," Dr W
Paschal Reeves, Associate to the
Provost, said Reeves did not know
when Ms. Hanson's case was filed
and said he did not know much about
the case at all
“I DON'T KNOW on what she has
based her complaint," Reeves said.
"We have an affirmative action
All classes will be suspended

Dr A L Kleckner. acting vice
president for instruction, announced
the suspension in accordance with an
established policy of the Board of
Regents Academic deans, adminis
trative directors and department
heads were notified of the action in a
program wheih HEW has approved.
The University doesn't discriminate
in hiring on the basis of race, sex,
creed, religion or national origin."
Reeves said the University was
bound by any policy made by the
Board of Regents and that includes
the nepotism policy. He said that
in the past complaints like this one
had always been decided in favor of
the University.
Ms Hanson was not available for
comment She is presently employed
at the University of Denver and her
husband is at the University of
Wisconsin.
