EBERLINE Associated Press Writer COUNCIL BLUFFS (AP) Administrators of Iowa's three state universities say they may be able to institute a few economies that will save a few thousand dollars a year over the long run. But a State Board of Regents directive to see if they can find a way to eliminate a "tuition surcharge" in the 1970-71 academic year leaves them shaking their heads.

There is no way, the presidents of the three universities said Thursday, that sufficient short-range economics can be effected, to eliminate the surcharge without doing long- range harm to the universities. The only way it can be done, they said, is to wipe out programs that contribute to the quality of education now being offered and to get rid of some highly qualified personnel. They stressed that limiting enrollment, while it might over the long pull save money, would not help in the short run and would create more problems than it would solve by changing the undergraduate "mix" of students. The University of Northern Iowa's report suggested that increasing revenue might be as effective as instituting economies. It went so far as to suggest that "We could sell the names and addresses of our alumni to reputable firms such as Encyclopedia Brlttanlca, Readers Dlbert Rice and Richard Clark of ges and earn sev- Estherville; Mrs.

RobertTaylor, eral hundred dollars." already are on an "austerity" budget, that they already have taken steps for economy that threaten permanent damage to their program, and that further steps to save the kind of money necessary to wipe out the surcharge will hurt even more. "That kind of money" means $4.84 million a year at the University of Iowa and $3.2 million annually at Iowa State. The amount was not specified in the University of Northern Iowa report. The ISU report pointed out that the budget Increase voted by the 1909 legislature for Iowa's three universities in this biennium was 12 per cent. It said the average increase for support of state higher educational institution operations over the nation was 39 percent "To speak of eliminating the By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Public officials are joining the snowballing support for the Wednesday moratorium on work and studies to seek peace in Vietnam.

Demonstrations are expected in every state. Governors, congressmen and senators, city councilmen and mayors, state legislators and former government officials will join businessmen, teachers and most of all students in what organizers say will be the largest series of nationwide antiwar protests ever held. War critics in Congress say they have enough support to keep the House of Representatives in all-night session Tuesday to support Moratorium Day, with the American flag flying over a lighted Capitol dome as symbolic backing for the protests. Seventeen senators and 47 congressmen pledged to support the moratorium as long as it is "peaceful, lawful and nonviolent." Rep. Benjamin S.

Rosenthal, said speakers had been lined up for an all-night session and predicted, "I think this is going to be the largest citizen participation of its kind in the history of this country." President Nixon said last week the moratorium would not affect his plans. Vice President Spiro T. Agnew said Thursday, "Certainly citizens have a right to protest this war. But they have picked the wrong target." Agnew told a Republican fund-raising dinner in Dallas, that the moratorium is "ironic and absurd." He suggested that protests should be directed at the North Vietnamese for their refusal to accept American terms for peace at the Paris peace conference. Agnew canceled a campaign appearance in New Jersey next Wednesday at the request of Republican gubernatorial candidate William T.

Cahill, who said he thought Agnew would be the target of antiwar demonstrators. Richard Cardinal Cushing of Boston urged all churches to conduct special services Wednesday and the Archdiocese of Detroit called for a day of fasting and prayer. The executive board of the Central Council of American Rabbis, representing 1,100 Reform rabbis, endorsed the protest and urged Nixon to head the protesters.

Inside After hearing the reports, Regent Tom Louden of Fairfield said they "point out very clearly that we're going to have to dismantle some programs to save that kind of money. "I'm not at all sure that the taxpayers want us to do that, and it would be a mistake to do it now." When the 1969 legislature voted substantially less money than the board had asked for the universities, the board authorized a 60 per cent increase in tuition.

It designated a part of the increase as a temporary "surcharge" and directed administrators of the three schools to see if some way could be found to wipe out the surcharge in the 1970-71 school year.

It said the only way the surcharge can be wiped out is for the legislature to appropriate enough additional money to make up Uie difference.
