Hughes Killed When His Car Hits Bus WASHINGTON (AP) A proposal that the federal government provide direct financial aid to students has drawn opposition from an organization representing many of the nation's state universities and colleges. In a report issued in New York Thursday, the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education proposed that the federal government increase its spending for education from its present annual level of $3.5 billion to $13 billion by 1976, partly to provide direct aid to students through a loan bank. Officials of the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges said the report was disappointing.

Any increased federal spending for education should go directly to the schools, who could then pass the benefits on to the students, they said. Russell I.

They found empty rubber rafts and fragments of wreckage floating on the sea. Crews of the rescue boats leges and universities, said his group is sympathetic to the report's hope for providing aid to disadvantaged students. But he said the Carnegie plan ignores the institutions themselves for the purpose of widening educational opportunities for all qualified students. He said that increasing federal aid to the schools themselves would enable them to cut the costs for students.

"That would mean that a vast majority of qualified students could go to college without the bureaucracy which will be essential to administer any program of direct financial assistance to students," Thackery declared. "If funds are channelled through individuals, there is a chance that many institutions which already are operating at substantial losses will be inclined to raise costs and charges more rapidly," Thackery said. disruption at San Francisco State College.

This is insurrection." Reagan endorsed the stand of Theodore Meriam, chairman of the trustees, who said problems on the campus must be solved by the board without intrusion by outsiders. A short time laterr a spokesman for the trustees and state college Chancellor Glenn Dumke confirmed that Mer-iam's stand clearly indicated their posilion and that of acting President S. I. Hayakawa of San Francisco State. However, the Academic Senate, which represents the school's 1,100 faculty members, formally asked Hayakawa to appear before it today to explain precisely what that position is.

Hayakawa, a member of the English department since 1954, has not attended meetings of the Academic Senate since he was appointed acting president Funeral services will be held Saturday for a prominent Oshkosh lawyer, Henry P. Hughes, 64, who vas killed Thursday afternoon in a car-school bus accident. Hughes, a former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice, died when his car smashed into the rear of a stopped school bus on Highway 26 southwest of Oshkosh.

Otherwise a team of The reaction to the direct federal aid proposal from other educators was uncertain. Norman Topping, president of the University of Southern California, a private school, said "I think there's merit in the idea But whether or not this (financial) burden should be placed on the federal government, or state and local government, I don't know." The president of another private school, Paul R.

Anderson of Temple University, indicated he thought increased federal spending should be allocated between the colleges and the students, but with the students getting the larger share.

The rejections by Reagan and the trustees came on an offer by the San Francisco Labor Council to join with a committee of civic leaders in an effort to seek a solution to the problems on campus. They stemmed from a strike called by the Black Students Union to support a series of demands, including the reinstatement of a Black Panther English instructor who was suspended for urging that guns be carried on campus. Additional demands were made later by another minority group, the Third World Liberation Front.
