'Free Colleges Cause N.Y. Fight NEW YORK (ACP)—A two month-old battle between the Ne*w York City Board of Higher Edu cation and four City University administrators over the financing of 11 tuition-free colleges in the system is not over. The controversy, in which two administrators resigned and two others announced their intention to retire, was touched off by the issuance by City University Chan cellor Albert H. Bowker of a pro posal that the city maintain free colleges for city residents by put ting up $400 annually for each undergraduate in the senior col leges. The Board criticized the edu cators on the Administrative Council, headed by Bowker, for issuing the controversial plan “without prior notice or consider ation by our Board.” Bow'ker withdrew the plan Nov. 15. This criticism led to the resig nations, announced Nov. 20. of Bowker and Harry L. Levy, City University dean of studies, and requests to retire from Harry D Gideonese, Brooklyn College pres ident and John J. Meng, Hunter College president At a Board meeting the admin istrators were asked to reconsider their decisions but to date no intentions of withdrawing the resignations and requests have been announced by any of the four. The Board announced the next day it would hold a public hearing to consider the whole matter. The Joint Legislative Commit tee on Higher Education an nounced it would conduct a “full inquiry” into the administrators’ actions. At the meeting, Gideon ese released a statement which termed the “theoretical” tuition AT COLE'S Students & Faculty Get 10% DISCOUNT on cash purchases $1.00 & over AT TIME OF PURCHASE 345-4001 plan a “sham issue” in the dis pute. “The real issue lies in our con cern about the insufficient finan cial provisions for adequate edu cational opportunities for the young people of this city,” the statement said. The Board had earlier declared that it had "a right to expect undivided fealty on the part of all of its officers of administra tion to the policies and bylaws of the Board, irrespective of any other position they may hold.” Gideonese replied in his resig nation that "fealty is a medieval concept and it describes the posi tion of a medieval lord in his relation to his feudal serf. Mem bers of the Board of Higher Edu cation are not medieval lords— and I am not inclined to become | a serf.” Charles H. Tuttle, Board mem ber for 52 years, also criticized a proposal by Gov. Nelson Rocke feller that the state establish five four-year colleges in the city to be operated on a tuition fee of $400 per student. He said, “This would mean a division of higher . education in this city into two competitive institutions, one from Albany on a fee basis and one run from this city on a free basis,! with each dividing the strength available for one.” University 4-H Sets Ski Trip to Hoodoo The University Collegiate 4-H Club is sponsoring a trip to Hoo doo Ski Bowl in the Santiam Pass this Saturday.
