The man who is probably the youngest president of. a major U.S. university consid- ers himself a generation gap sealer. • Dr. John P. Schaefer, 37, began his career as president of the University of Anzona five months ago by knocking out the pedestal from under the president's position. "The president used to be very insulated f om the stu- dent body," t b rmer ~ead of the university chemistry department said, here last night. •·Now J meet regularly with a student advisory council, have appointed a student yice president of student relahons and will talk with anyone who has a rational complaint." 2CONFLICTS The young administrator, who calls himself "a liberal, but above all a rational think- er " has had two major con- fli~ts with students this se- mester. First students wanted to set up 'a birth control clinic on campus. "But didn'.t think it was umvers1ty busi- ness to dispense con- traceptives," Schaefer said. He vetoed the plan but ap- proved a course on sex edu• cation. Second, the student council cut back funding for the ,school band. "I vetoed the budget," Schaefer said. "One of the great tragedies of U.S. universities today is that the courts have under- mined the power of university presidents," he said. He explained that cutting back the presidents' powers to control such student activi- ties as housing and visitation rights in dormitories, often dubbed "in loco parentis" powers, has made it very dif- ficult to maintain an accept- able public image. On oblem students nd administration were able to work out together was traffic

campus, Schaefer said. He is in town to see tomght's San Diego State-Uni- versity of Arizona football game. A firm supporter of athletic programs, he has at- tended all of the "away games" but one. "I think universities can use football as a mor~ le booster, as a rallying point for all segments of the school," he said. Schaefer said he believes faculty members, with ad- ministrative consent and stu- dent input, should control course content and establish curriculum. Students are not in a posl· tion to be able to set up cur- riculum by themselves or participate in the evaluation process that determines which professors are hired, fired or given tenure, he said. CA.\fPUS GROUPS Schaefer also has strong opinions on which student groups should be permitted on campus. "As long as groups are will• ing to work within the system and don't propose violent dis• sension, we will accept them on our campus," he said, af- firming the presence of wom- en's liberation and minority groups on campus. The Gay Liberation Front was thrown off campus, how- ever. "I just don't think they've got anything to con- tribute to campus life," Schaefer said. "I also feel very strongly that the university ought to be involved in training men for the military... it's dan- gerous to develop a military elite in this country without the liberal arts training avail- able on a university campus," he said. Schaefer said his goal for I.Ii school - "a progressive um rs1ty, but not as liberal a hose here" - is to up- jj:ade the academic standard of the school to that of Cali- fornia universltlel. - ---

With private funds scarce, the ch rob hopes for government money. The Su~ m Court has ruled out direct government aid to church• related schools. But some state arc trying other approaches. P nnsylvanla I t Augu t es· tabllshed a program that would reimburse par• ents for tuition at nonpubllc schools. The law Is under challenge In the courts, however. The lack or funds for Catholic schools has an Impact on publlc schools as well. "The growing Inability of nonpub!Jc schools to meet expenses of urbnn education from traditional sources of fund Is assuming the dimensions of n nationwide crisis," says Sidney P. Marland Jr., ,U.S. commissioner of education. If the trend toward closing parochial schools acceler• ates, It could swamp the public schools with students, he says. Due to financial 1>roblems and other factors, the number of U.S. parochial elementary and high schools declined to 11,352 last school year-a 10% drop In only three years. These schools currenux nroll s.97 mil• lion students-down almost an n mllllon stu• dents since the 1968-69 school year,

enough to cause major differ- ences of opinion as to how it should be spent. At issue really is who should pay for what in the university system. UC President Charles J. Hitch wants to spend most of it on new buildings, new equip- ment, and improving the phys- ical facilities of the nine- campus university system. And that stance alone has touched off a major dis- agreement among regents for two years now. The question that must be resolved is one of moral obliga- tion, voiced perhaps best by Regent William Forbes. If the money is spent the Hitch wants it spent, "really what we're doing is transfer- ring the building of the Univer- sity of California from the people to, at least in part, the students," said Forbes: There are those among the regents who disagree - al- though somewhere between $19 million and $21 million will go into physical improvements next year on various campus- es of the university. Students want it to go to student financial aid, some of the politicians want it to go into operating funds to pay for the costs of higher education right now, and there are those who favor div,erting a oodly amount into research by facul- ty members - aid~d, of

The first year - last year - the tuition charge was $50 a quarter for each under- graduate student, slightly more for graduate students. That $150 an academic year was to be doubled the seconcj. year - this year - and sure enough it was. Now Hitch forecasts the Uni- versity of California will take in $28.1 million this year. And the battle of how to spend it has started all over again. Hitch, who wants to spend most of it for new buildings, remodelings, additions, new equipment, has proposed allo• eating some for student loans and for counseling and advis- ing services for students. Some regents feel that, al- though enrollments will climb for another decade or so, the population is leveling off and the needs will be less in the future. Hitch disagrees that this is necessarily the case. And other regents, notably :-;or ton Simon, believe that, with the state not really pro- viding enough money now for proper education, it is a futile thing to construct more build- ings that will need more facul- ty and mor oney to o.iierate. Students wh cons1s ently oppose tuition altogether, want it to revert back to the students in the form offmancial aid.

"But a lot of kids are start- ing to enjoy it." He knows because he played sax in a rock band to earn money for school. ''A lot of rock is based on classical music," he said. PLAYS FOR DINNER Now he plays dinner music Wednesday night at The Talkies Restaurant near the USD campus. "I get dinner for it " he said. Even though he 1s talented enough to be a career musi- cian, according to his music teacher Ilana Mysior, he• would rather keep his music as a hobby. "He does fantastic classi· cal, jazz work and pops...he improvises," Mi Mys1or said. "Bob is the all-around musician." l

At the age of 20, Robert Hart, an accounting major at the University of San Diego, will play Rachmaninoff's Pi· ano Concerto No. 2 with the San Diego Symphony Orches• tra today. But it is nothing new for Hart an accomplished pian• ist a~d winner of the fifth an• nual young people's sym- phony .contest sponsored by the San Diego Symphony As• sociation Last year he appeared with 5ym hon contest winner Marsha , also a USD stu• dent, in the Carnival of Ani· mals performed by the Symphony Orchestra. SPECrAL CONCERT Today, he will perform in a special concert by the sym- phony for all of the San Diego city schools. "I've been playing piano ever since I was a child," said the talented college ju- 1or who also plays the saxo~ hone and the clarinet. Hart owes part of his skill to early guidance by his mother and father, Dr. and rs. William L. Hart, of 5237 Hewlett Drive who have built piano playing family since hey came here from Chicago bout 18 years ago. They ave three younger daughters ho are taking piano lessons. PARENTS MUSICIANS Hart, a dentist, plays the viola and piano, and Mrs. Hart plays the cello and teaches piano and music. I "We have a little more mu- sic than we know what to do with," said Mrs. Hart m an interview. She said Bob started to play the piano in preschool days with more help from his father than anyone. She added that "we feel indebted to his teacher at USD.'' S FAVORITE Bob, who loves classical music, said his favorite of the romantics is Sergei Rach- maninoff He believes he 1s unusual among most young people. "I don't think thne is an inter- est in classical music among kids.
