CHANCELLOR JOHN R. RICHARDS
Fears Legislative Administration in Education
Trends in Control
Of Higher Education
Concern Richards
. By DON BISHOFF
.' ' Of the Register-Guard
When JohnR. Richards, state chancellor of higher education,
announced his resignation last week he voiced some serious con
cern about the future control of. higher education in Oregon, and
in other states.
- Richards expanded on those views in an interview last week
and offered some sharp words of criticism for the Oregon Leg
islature in general, and the Joint Ways and Means Committee in
particular. Comparing the situation in Oregon with that in Cali- (
fornia, where he's going, Richards' put' it this way:-. -. fp , f ;
" "The California trend is to place more, and more authority
and leadership in the educational leaders. The' trend in Oregon
is to place more and more authority with ' the Department of
Finance and with the legislature by the use of line item budgets." ;
A line item budget is one which specifically spells but what
amount of money is to be spent for each item in an agency's
budget. The opposite of this would be a lump sum budget, in-,
which the legislature grants a given amount of money to an.'
agency for'use as .that agency sees fit. v. .:
DEPLORES MORE LEGISLATURE CONTROL !
At present in Oregon, the budget of the state Board df Higher
Education is a combination of these two. Richards sees a trend"
toward more use of the line item budget, and hence more legisla- .
tive control, a trend he deplores. . '
"They-(the legislators) have said that they want detailed
control over campus expansion . . '. they want to advise us on :
details of building plans.. Some legislators have gone so far as
to say that our funds should be frozen by category. ....
"We were told verbally many times during the past session
that we should do this and that. They'd say, ,'Well, we have to
(See Story,
get you people under better control you're doing things that we
ought to pass on.'
"In my opinion, it's just one step beyond that to suggest whom
we should start appointing to our teaching staffs."
Richards said the thinking' towards more legislative control
"pervades the Joint Ways and Means Committee." He character
ized the committee as "14 members who get the idea that all
power resides in them."
Basically, Richards said he thought that the state board and
the chancellor, who deals with the problems of higher education ;
the year around, are better fitted to decide how educational
monies will be spent in the state than is the legislature, which
considers the problem only once every two years.
As might be expected, vigorous disagreement with Richards'
thesis came from Rep. Clarence Barton, D-Coquille, co-chairman
of the Joint Ways and Means Committee in the just-ended legis
lative session. Asked to comment on Richards' views, Barton said:
"The position- of the legislature isn't at all to interfere with
academic freedom. But when we're talking about dollars and
cents, I think the- legislature should be permitted to make the
decision on how much money is going to be spent."
. BARTON VIEWS ON BUDGETING
"They get the money under certain representations to the
legislature. If they don't use it for the purpose that they request
it for, then I think the legislature should be able to take another ;
look at it There are other agencies in the state to be considered."
As an example of his point, Barton cited an incident that arose
two years ago when, he said, the state board asked for, and re
ceived, some $980,000 for faculty salaries, the purchase of sup
plies, and other uses.
"Through some economies or financial hocus pocus, they
didn't have to spend the money so they turned around and bought
propertyfor future expansion with it," Barton said.
"All we want to know is what they're going to do with the
money we give them. We don't want them to ask for it for one
thing, and use it for another."
Barton said he felt such controls as the legislature have been
exercising should be continued "as long as they have that kind
of monkeyshines going on in the field of education."
With Richards' views on the subject of lump sum vs line item
budgets, it. might seem strange that he has chosen to go to Cali
fornia where, he said, the legislature has line item control over
the state colleges. But again, said Richards, it's all a matter of
trends. ' f '
The University of California is on a lump sum budget, he
said, and the state's master plan for education calls for a gradual
move towards lump sum budgets for slate colleges as well. The
state legislature has already given its approval to the master
plan, which runs through 1975.
It was this plan which set up the Coordinating Council for
Higher Education, of which Richards will be the first director.
In Oregon, Richards dealt with one board of higher education,
made up of nine members charged with formulating and super
vising the state's higher education program. .
In California he will: deal with four boards the Board of
Regents of the University of California; a newly created board
governing the state's public colleges; the state board of education,
which governs to a certain extent the junior colleges, and the
coordinating council itself, which is made up of 15 representatives
of the other three boards, private colleges in the state, and the
general public. . '"''' ' .
Richards said his duties and the duties of his yet-lo-bepicked
staff in the new job will be four: . . ,
Reviewing the budgets of each of the boards under the
council, and making recommendations on these budgets to the
governor and to the legislature.- Final authority on the actual
grants will still lie with the legislature, but Richards believes the

Rebel Spokesman
Terms Cease-Fire
'Unilateral Decision'
EVIAN ". LES - BAINS,
France UP) France ordered
cessation of all offensive ac
tion in Algeria Saturday but
the Algerian rebel leader
ship rejected the decision,
declaring '.'our fight contin
ues. ...
A spokesmen for the rebel dele
gation at French-Algerian peace
talks, which -opened here Satur
day, termed .the French decision
blackmail, propaganda and
"diversionary maneuver." . .
"The decision was unilateral,"
spokesman Abdelmajid Rhida
Malek told a news conference in
Geneva after the first session of
peace talks at Evian. "We reject
all unilateral decisions. We are
here to negotiate bilateral ac
cords." This statement echoed one by
the rebel government in Tunis,
which said any cease-fire should
be negotiated by both parties.
The French order, which leaves
the French free to shoot if shot
at, was made effective for a
month. At the end of that time,
the French said, they would re
consider the situation in the light
of the peace talks here.
But Malek's statement that the
6'4-year rebel fight goes on cast
pall over the infant negotia
tions. French officials have said
serious talks cannot long continue
without a cease-fire on both sides.
The order for the half-million
man French army to halt offen
sive operations in Algeria . was
made effective at 6 p.m. ;
French Delegate General Jean
Morin said in Algiers he hoped
the rebels would follow the
French lead. But Malek said a
proviso in the French order leav
ing French troops the right to I
take defensive action could be
used as a pretext by the French
to continue offensive operations.
, As the peace talks got under
way in this Lake Geneva, resort
city, France also announced that
rebel Deputy Premier Ahmed Ben
Bella was being transferred from
his fortress prison in the Isle
Aix to a luxurious chateau in
the Loire River Valley. Other
rebel officials had their detention
eased.
The rebel spokesman "look
note" of the decision, but said
Ben Bella should he "associated
with the peace talks" and that
much difficulty had , arisen on
this point. He did not elaborate.
