July 11, 1970 Regents Turn A Campaign Down Hiatus Single-Member Districts Seen By Sen. Thomas are elected at one time and assigning half the seats to temporary two-year terms to begin the staggering process. "Nobody likes to run for a two-year term when you're supposed to get a four-year term," Thomas said. Florida officials are uncertain how and why the congressional seats will be allocated, but they feel the addition of more than 1.7 million Floridians will entitle the state to two or three new seats. Florida now has 12 seats in the U.S.

House. Thomas said since Congress can either vote to redistribute the existing 435 House seats or expand or reduce the total, legislative leaders will wait to see what happens before trying to apportion the state's new share of representation. He pointed out that in addition to legislative and congressional reapportionments, publication of a new census also means that hundreds of county commission and school board offices will be redistricted. Gov. Claude Kirk or his successorwill derive important appointment powers when the new circuit judgeships are ere- Rep.

JACKSONVILLE (AP Florida universities won't shut down a week before the November election so students can work to elect their favorite candidates. The Board of Regents accepted a recommendation of the Council of Presidents Friday that the state universities conduct business as usual through election time.

Other segments of the community don't stop normal responsibilities for elections, the university presidents said. ONLY ONE question was raised. President Stanley Marshall of Florida State said a court suit might be based on one sentence which said: "The published acaeem-ic calendar of a state university is a contractural obligation with the public." The calendar is changed on occasion for important reasons, Marshall pointed out. The sentence was reworded to say: "The published academic calendar of a state university is a statement of intent to the public." The policy passed without a dissenting vote. Democratic U.S.

Senate candidate Fred Schultz immediately telegraphed the regents and Mautz from Tampa asking them to reverse the decision against a one-week class moratorium to allow the students to work in the general election. Schultz said the young people of the nation have demonstrated they want to become a part of "our system. We' have an obligation to give them the opportunity for involvement Consultant For Women Requested JACKSONVILLE (AP A recently appointed feminine member of the Board of Regents asked that body Friday to hire a special consultant on woman's affairs in the state university system. Miss Elizabeth Kovachevich of St. Petersburg sprung the bombshell on the state agency that makes policy for state universities.

"I think it would be good to appoint a special consultant to the chancellor on the subject of women, and that person should be a woman," she declared. Miss Kovachevich tried to put her suggestion in the form of a motion, but chairman D. Burke Kibler of Lakeland headed off the maneuver at least until the September meeting. He directed Chancellor Robert Mautz to look into the suggestion in the meantime and make a recommendation. 10,000 Hurt By Fireworks BOSTON (AP) Approximately 10,000 persons mostly children were injured by fireworks during the Fourth of July weekend this year, the National Fire Protection Association By JOHN VAN GIESON Associated Press Writer Mandatory reapportionment required with publication of the 1970 census is likely to produce single-member legislative districts, Senate President-designate Jerry Thomas said Friday.

"It's the only way you can have one-man, one-vote," said Thomas, referring to the popular name of the U.S. Supreme Court doctrine that sparked reapportionment in the Sixties. But reapportionment with or without single-member districts will be only part of the change resulting from the 1970 census thatshowedFlorida'spopulation increased in 10 years from 4.9 million to 6.7 million. Other significant results will be: Increased representation in Congress with two or possibly three new seats. Creation of an as yet undetermined number of new circuit judge positions.

Doling out of an estimated 150 new liquor licenses. Increased revenues from gas tax and other sources to growth counties. ALL BUT 11 of the state's 67 counties made population gains over the past decade. The exact figure of 6,672,399 was confirmed Friday by the U.S. Census district office in Atlanta, a 34.7 per cent hike since 1960.

Jacksonville used consolidation to become Florida's largest city with 513,439, a gain of 155 per cent over the port city's 1960 count of 201,030. Miami, pinned in on all sides by sister Dade County cities, gained only from 291,688 to and dropped to a distant second. Tampa lost 611 persons, to a 1970 total of 274,359, but retained the No. 3 ranking. St.

Petersburg is still fourth at 213,189. Reapportionment almost inevitably means that the Legislature, where the House killed single-member districts in 1970, will have to accept the concept as a logical product of "one man, one vote," Thomas said. "If we fail to do it, I think prospects are the U.S. Supreme Court will at some future date," he said. Single-member districts would lead to greater minority representation with Republican legislators getting elected from Democratic counties, Democrats from Republican counties and blacks from urban counties.

No longer would voters as in Dade County have the opportunity of casting ballots for up to nine senators and 22 representatives. Withone-member districts voters would choose one senator and one House member. THOMAS SAID the business of legislative apportionment can not officially start under the constitution until the 1972 session. He said when it does there will be three major difficulties-reducing the Senate from 48 to 40 members, staggering terms so that only half the senators Water Threatened? of out-of-state applicants, the regents set limits on both. Beginning this fall, freshmen will be limited to 2,900 at the University of Florida; 2,500 at FSU; 2,300 at University of South Florida and 2,000 at Florida Technological University.

These are the first limits on USF and Florida Tech. No limit was established for Florida A. and M. Other state universities don't have underclassmen. Regent Chester Ferguson of Tampa, who proposed the limits, said this will channel more high school graduates into junior colleges, saving money for both students and the state.

A limit of 10 per cent of total enrollment may come from out of state. In the past year 11.4 per cent of students at state universities lived outside Florida. as well as allied health-care personnel. Florida needs a new commitment to health care. The implements of the past aren't the answers for the future." MURRAY SAID he is hopeful sufficient non-state funds can be obtained for inauguration of a pilot program at Florida State University and Florida A University this fall.

If funds are not available this fall, the 1971 legislature will be asked to provide the estimated $200,000 to inaugurate the program in the fall of 1971. WILL you MAKE There no reason why you can't. As manager of Pizza Inn. vou can earn S1.000 a month. Within a year.

Tennessee Tallahassee, Florida YEAR? In Bribery Case Ex-Faircloth Aide Convicted by Jury JACKSONVILLE (UPI) The State Board of Regents approved an expanded statewide medical education program Friday designed to alleviate the shortage of doctors in Florida. The board approved the program after being informed that the state university system can accept only one out of every 10 qualified students seeking to study medicine, despite the shortage of doctors.

The new program calls for expanded use of existing resources of state universities and the hospitals and clinics throughout the state to substitute for two of the four years required for production of medical doctors. Under the program, a student would take his first year of medical work at an existing state institution other than the University of Florida College of Medicine. The student would move to the College of Medicine for the next two years of clinical training, and then complete his work in hospitals and clinics in the state. The present medical educational plan requires the student to take all four years of his work at the University of Florida College of Medicine in Gainesville. Dr.

The state constitution provides there shall be one circuit judge for each 50,000 residents or major fraction thereof. A county that added 100,000 residents would be entitled to two new circuit judges appointed by the governor but many districts have added judges over the years and are properly represented.

Kirk or his successor will also control distribution of the 150 new liquor licenses. "Some of the places are over-quotaed already," said Beverage Department Director Raymond Beary, indicating cities like Miami probably will not share in the harvest of new licenses. A liquor license is obtained for a relatively small fee, but can command up to $50,000 when sold to another person. Counties stand to get more money in gas tax returns because of the new population figures. Of the two cents returned to counties from gas tax funds, one-half cent is based on population.

Other funds are distributed on a population basis, said Budget Director Joe Cresse, but have been updated during the past decade so adjustments should be rather small. "We're committed to allowing as much Indian autonomy as possible," the Interior spokesman said. "At the same time, we have an ecological conflict here. We're digging for answers, hoping to solve them to everyone's advantage." IN TALLAHASSEE, Asst. State Atty.

Gen. T. T. Turnbull said the only legal way the state can prevent drilling on Indian land is to refuse drilling permits. Under an act which became law last year without the governor's signature, Indians can determine what use is made of their reservation land, Turnbull said.

There are no mandatory state drilling requirements, said Randolph Hodges, head of the State Department of Natural ORLANDO (AP) A jury Friday convicted a former state attorney general's investigator and an Orlando real estate salesman of conspiring to bribe two Apopka city officials. The verdict against Robert Parker, 26, a former investigator for State Atty. Gea Earl Faircloth, and William Hudson, 44, was returned after one hour and 25 minutes of deliberation. Both men were ordered jailed without bond pending a hearing July 20. Maximum sentence for the charge is 15 months in jail and-or a $750 fine.

Parker and Hudson were accused of offering $25,000 bribes to Apopka Mayor Leonard Hurst and City Councilman James Meeks to influence their votes on the purchase of a sewage plant. Meeks has been charged with conspiring to accept a bribe. Two other men, William Bryant of Jacksonville and David Duncan of Orlando, are charged with conspiracy to bribe. The trials of Meeks, Duncan and Bryant have been delayed pending appeals before the State Supreme Court Much of the evidence presented to the jury was in the form of tape recording of conversations between Hurst and Parker and Hurst and Duncan. Orange County Solicitor Ron Powell said the recordings were obtained after Hurst reported a bribe attempt to the state attorney.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement installed hidden tape recorders in Hurst's car, home and one on the mayor himself. DEFENSE ATTORNEYS ob-j vigorously to the introduction of the tape recordings as evidence. Powell said he had 25 recordings, but used only a few of them in the trial. Defense attorneys also claimed the trial was being used to smear the name of Fair-cloth, a Democratic candidate for governor. p.m.

A subcommittee spokesman said Wolfson, facing another 18-month term, will testify on conditions at the federal prison camp at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. It was Wolfson's alleged association with former Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas that led to Fortas' resignation from the high court. Wolfson was expected to be accompanied by several prisoners with whom he became acquainted at Eglin and who will also testify, the spokesman said. a 0 a Portable lightweight, and humidity.

Powell told the jury Parker telephoned Hurst last Nov. 12 and wanted to know how "this deal is coming along.

It means a lot to the attorney general in a contribution." Faircloth's name was mentioned several times in the tapes, but at one point a voice identified as Duncan told Hurst the attorney general did not know "anything except I am involved in a sewer plant out here as well as I've got some other things in other places. But he doesn't know what the particu lars gets his information from Parker." In another tape, a voice identified as Bryant told Hurst the mayor would get five per cent of the total contract cost if the engineering firm Bryant then worked for was chosen as the consultant for the sewage plant job.

(AP) U.S. Interior Department officials reportedly have launched an investigation into the drilling of oil near South Florida's fresh water supply.

A spokesman for the department said investigators were seeking to uncover how oil leases on the federal Big Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation were approved without the knowledge of Interior Secretary Walter J. Hickel's office and the U.S. Parks Department, the Miami Herald reported. Mobil Oil Co. has drilled in an area near the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control District's Conservation Area 3.

Water that eventually winds up in South Florida homes flows through that Everglades storage area. Humble Oil Co. also has leased land for drilling in the area.
