The increases in the budget went primarily to education, which already consumes 60 percent of the general revenue budget. Askew is recommending that $1.8 billion in general revenue funds be spent on local schools, universities See NONEW.8A From Wire Reports TALLAHASSEE Gov.

The governor's recommendations for capital outlays included $83,000 for a gymnasium at Marianna Sunland Center, and $1.76 million for a Medical Service Center at Marianna Sunland. Also included is $29,600 for repairs to the Dozier School gymnasium in Marianna.

The governor accomplished the $308-million increase without the necessity of any tax hikes, unlike last year when the Legislature approved $122 million in new taxes. "The good news for the average Floridian is thai this is the year he doesn't have to pay any increased taxes," Askew told a news conference. The capital budget recommendations also include a $106,200 item for improving Department of Transportation maintenance offices at Niceville. Among the casualties in the $500 million that Askew chopped from agency requests was a Department of Offender Rehabilitation proposal to set aside $577,210 for converting 60 beds from the Niceville Road Prison into the proposed Okaloosa Correctional Institution, and another $756,000 for expanding the Okaloosa facility by 80 employee positions.

RICHARDS Gannett News Service WASHINGTON Are women programmed by their genes to be passive baby-raisers whose lives are devoted to the entrapment of a mate? That is a simplification of one of the theories of sociobiology, a new discipline that has sparked enormous interest and controversy at the annual meeting here of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Have male scientists of the past been so steeped in patriarchal thinking that they have interpreted data from a male chauvinist point of view? That is the assertion made by several (female) scientists, who have told the AAAS meeting that it was probably prehistoric woman, not man, who invented tools, developed farming and provided most of the food for their families. These two lively controversies, plus debate about holding the 1979 AAAS meeting in a state that has ratified the fcqunl Rights Amendment, have been keeping feminist scientists in a turmoil throughout the week-long meeting, which ends Friday. The ERA matter was settled Monday, when the badly split AAAS governing board capitulated to the women and voted to move the 1979 meeting from Chicago to Houston.

(AP) Leon Spinks, turning tiger in the final rounds Wednesday night, scored professional boxing's most shocking upset since Muhammad Ali won the heavyweight championship from Sonny Liston in seven rounds on Feb. 25, 1964. Spinks ended Ali's reign as boxing champion of the world in a split decision. Spinks, the 24-year-old ex-Marine with just seven previous pro fights, refused to run out of gas. In an exciting 15th round, he landed a combination of left and right punches to the head at the bell that sent Ali stumbing back to his comer, the deposed champion's face a mask of pain and weariness.

At the final bell, Spinks' cornermen jumped into the ring and began celebrating. As it turned out, the celebration was not premature. Judge Art Lune, the first scorer announced, gave the fight to Ali, 143 to 142. But the other two judges voted for Spinks Howard Buck, 144-141, and Lou Tabat, 145-140. The 36-year-old Ali, conserving his strength and picking his spots with head punches, seemed to be in command after 10 rounds.

But Spinks would not be denied. In the 13th round, the gap-toothed challenger scored with a left-right to the head and, as Ali visibly tired, Spinks landed several other good lefts. In the 14th. Ali, his left eye swelling, tried to stem the tide with his famous jab. But Spinks kept coming and hurt Ali with a vicious left hook midway in the round.

He followed It with a right-left and an upper-cut In a flurry just before the bell, out-punching the champion in that exchange. The St. Louis native is the most professionally Inexperienced heavyweight champion in history. Only one man ever' fought for the title with fewer pro fights.

Pensacola police became keenly interested in the man when they discovered he had 21 credit cards in the names of 12-different Tallahassee individuals as well as identification malerial from at least three FSU coeds. The arrested man began making comments about how officer I.ee might become a sergeant for making the arrest, and later said it might have been better had the warning shots hit him. Recalling the month-old search for the man who bludgeoned five FSU coeds in mid-January, including Chi Omega sorority sisters Margaret Bowman and Lisa Levy of St. Petersburg who died, the Pensacola detectives notified Tallahassee police and Leon County Sheriff Ken Katsans. The sheriff promptly labeled the prisoner a "serious suspect" in the killings, even though the victims were not yet linked to the credit cards Misner has.

About 4 p.m., Leon County investigator Don Patchen and Tallahassee police detective Steve Bodiford, members of a task force that has so far been frustrated by the Chi Omega murders, arrived in Pensacola to question the man. What they quickly learned was lhal Ihe suspect was not who he said he was Kenneth Raymond Misner. The real Misner is a well known long distance runner in Florida, the holder of FSU records in Ihe two-mile and six-mile runs, a college All-American in track, a graduate assistant in education at Ihe university, a married man, a four-year Air Force veteran, a statewide high school track star at Boca Ciega in St. Petersburg, a member of the prestigious Athletic Attic Track Club of Gainesville, a colleague of famous miler Marty l.iquori and a man described by coaches, professors, and employment supervisors as trustworthy and upright. When reporters started checking, they found a strange twist to the tale.

The Tallahassee city directory lisied two Kenneth R. Misners, one of them at his proper Jackson Bluff Road address, the other at a Westwood Drive number which turned out to be the home of Misner's track coach. The latter listing included an employment reference noting Misner as a recreation department worker for the city of Tallahassee.

The policeman said he was knocked to the ground and kicked in the face by the driver. Lee said he finally arrested the man after firing two warning shots during a long pursuit down Cervantes Street.
