The big difference, other than the subway speed and the snazzy new cars, will be on, or rather under, downtown -Market Street. Riders who want to get" off at stops other than the Civic Powell Street, Montgomery or the Embarcadero will have to transfer to surface buses (or while they streetcars) to do so.

Although there were no problems this morning Powell Street station-attendant Ed Copeland reported such. with fingers on both hands crossed Muni officials are looking at tomor-. rows non-holiday commute with a-' certain amount of uneasiness. For one thing, they're afraid who number 20,000 a day on the N- Judah, will slow operations because of confusion over the new system, which! is similar to BARTs but Just different enough probably to cause a Jam at the gates. Muni says it will have extra attendants on duty to ease any prolx lems.

The second worry is whither the-equipment which eventually will car- ry 100,000 riders a day when all lines are working, can stand up to the In today's early runs. Muni drivers. thought so. Al Blatch, a Muni driver for 27 years, said of the new cars: "These are great They run like a dream." Driver Nazario Reyes, a two-year veteran, added: "These are better and Examiner News Services SACRAMENTO Gov. Brown's lagging presidential campaign has been hit by a critical cash shortage and the announced loss of three top aides just a week before the crucial New Hampshire primary.

But when he pitched for funds on ABC's "Issues and Answers" yesterday in Washington, D.C., network officials said scores of his sympathizers telephoned ABC with offers of money. They were referred, he said, to Brown campaign headquarters. The candidate, ho had been arguing against deficit spending by the government, Interrupted himself to ask viewers for contributions so he could maintain the campaign as long as possible. Brown's fund appeal was the first of its kind on the ABC program, according to an ABC official. Several senior strategists have urged Brown to quit the presidential race or delay his campaign until the April primary in Wisconsion, but the proposals were cast aside for the time being.

"We're going ahead with a full-steam campaign in New Hampshire," said Josiah Beeman, who last week quit By Larry D. Hatfield Muni's sufrsnace age Metro system eased into service today with generally good Initial reviews and, at least in the first few hours, no major problems. Most early riders on the N-Judah line from the Embarcadero to Ocean Beach tended to reserve full judgment on the sleek new system reservations perhaps understandable given some of Muni's past performances. Said one veteran Muni rider, "Ask me again in two weeks. They haven't had time to foul it up yet." She wouldn't allow her name to be used, saying, "I don't use my name when I call to complain to Muni either." Others, however, were kinder.

Jerry Huber, a cook at the Seagull Restaurant at the beach, said it probably was going to save him 10 minutes or more in commuting time. "I like it," he said as he became one of the first half dozen passengers on the outbound line. "It makes different noises but I like it better than BART. The cars are very pleasant, I like the big windows and it's a lot smoother riding (than the old trolleys)." Eva Hulse, a downtown clerk, also liked it, saying: "It beats the hell out of BART. I just hope they can keep it up.

It's something we could have a lot of pride in." Despite some of the trappings of the old Muni there were some jerky stops and starts and there is already a smattering of graffiti on the plastic seats the new Muni Metro does have a smart new look. The two-car Boeing Vertol-designed trolleys, already suspect because of an early reputation for unreliability in Boston, run up to 50 m.p.h. in the subway one level above BART. The line runs under Market Street from the Embarcadero up to just past Chic Center where BART swerves south to the Mission. Muni Metro continues west, the N-Judah line (and eventually the line as well! rising to the street at Duboce Portal to continue the old-style street service out to Ocean Beach.

The and lines, hen they are phased into service during the next year (Mum VI Associated Press GOV. BROWN ON ABC'S ISSUES AND ANSWERS PROGRAM He issued an unconventional call for funds from viewers as Brown's chief New England strategist. "We're not out of money. It's just that we're putting all of our resources into the New Hampshire campaign." Brown pledged to continue campaigning "even if I have to hitchhike." The salaries of all campaign staff were cut until further notice to free more than $80,000 monthly for use in the New Hampshire primary on Feb. 26.

The temporary move follows Brown's outpouring of resources in the Maine caucuses where he had a better-than-expected 14 percent showing but still far behind the results for President Carter and Sen. Edward Kennedy. In addition to Beeman, press secretary Larry Pryor and finance co-chairman Anthony Dougherty will quit their campaign jobs. But the three Brown loyalists insisted they were departing for personal reasons, including finances. They disputed the notion that widespread defection of other key campaign personnel was imminent Beeman estimated that Brown would spend $100,000 on television and other campaign activities in the final two weeks before the key primary in New Hampshire.

Beeman noted that both Kennedy and Carter experienced similar financial difficulty. He said Kennedy's staff I more comfortable than the old streetcars." He hastened to add that he liked the old ones but the new ones were better. Reyes did say that the new cars might be a little slower on the surface part of the run but time is picked up in the subway. He estimated the whole run is now. 12 to 15 minutes shorter.

Muni ment says riders will save 15 minutes. consistently. Today, which was a low, patronage holiday, the whole trip took only 39 minutes, a big savings from the. near hour the N-Judah normally takes. Nearly everyone involved today, agreed that final judgments on new system should be delayed.

from home. Pryor, a former Los Angeles Times reporter and editor, said he planned to return to California after the New Hampshire primary to finish writing a novel. Pryor maintained that he planned all along to quit the campaign after New Hampshire, regardless of Brown's position in the presidential race. Dougherty was expected to go back to his job as director of Calif ornians for Brown, a group still paying off debts from Brown's gubernatorial reelection campaign in 1978. already has gone through a payless period while Carter experienced cash problems in his 1976 presidential bid.

Aides to Brown said the 41-year-old California governor has drawn enthusiastic crowds and campaign volunteers in New England but few cash contributions to keep his presidential bid running smoothly. Beeman removed himself from the day-to-day campaign operations in New England last week to return to his job as Brown's lobbyist in Washington.

Minorities: still not enough in college SACRAMENTO (AP) Despite various efforts to put minorities in California colleges, a new report says they remain seriously underrepresented. And the situation won't improve until the learning by minorities is improved in the public schools, says the state Postsecondary Education Commission's third report on the subject in five years.

Statistics from the draft report, issued last week, say that in the fall of 1978 minorities made up 37 percent of California's public school enrollment in the first 12 grades but only 27 percent of its public and private college undergraduates, and 17 percent of its graduate students. The report said Mexican-Americans, the fastest-growing group in California, were the most underrepresented in its colleges: With 20 percent of the total public school enrollment, they made up only 10 percent of the college undergraduates and 5 percent of the graduate students. Blacks, with 10 percent of the public school students, had 8.7 percent of the college undergraduates and 48 percent of the graduate students. Asians, American Indians and whites all had higher percentages in college than in public schools. Of those in college, blacks, Mexican-Americans and American Indians were concentrated in the two-year community colleges, rather than four-year schools, to a greater degree than other students.

And their graduation rates were also well below the statewide level. The report said there has been some increase in undergraduate minority enrollments in the last four years but little progress at the graduate level. Women's enrollment has increased steadily in public colleges and is about equal with men's enrollment among undergraduates. But women make up only about a third of University of California graduate students. The study is required by a resolution passed by the Legislature in 1974 asking the state's public colleges for plans to bring their enrollments of minorities, women and the poor up to the composition of the state's high school graduates by 1980.

The commission said the goal hasn't been met and wont be "until a larger proportion of ethnic minority and low-income students receive better academic training in (the public schools), and graduate from high school." It said one of the biggest problems is public school segregation, which has increased in California during the last 12 years. It cited state studies saying 72 percent of all black students and 57 percent of all Mexican-Americans attended schools with 50 percent or more minority enrollment in 1977. The study said a sequence of math classes preparing students for college, including trigonometry and calculus, was taken by 72 percent of the white students and 79 percent of the Asians, but only 25 percent of the Hispanics and 20 percent of the blacks. Among the recommendations were more cooperation between public colleges in recruitment of minorities, consideration of more flexible admissions standards at the University of California, more publicly funded child care on college campuses, and more training of bilingual teachers.

Studies by psychologists indicate infants who arent hugged enough end up as violent adults. A San Jose policeman noted that all of the 20th century's most notorious murderers were abused as children.

Those are some of the subjects before a state government commission that is doing something different about crime looking for its cause. The 25-member Commission on Crime Control and Violence Prevention held an organizational meeting last ts job is to "see if we can truly get a handle on what causes the violent personality," said Assemblyman John Vasconccllos. ATroo The San Jose Democrat was the author of AB23, approved last year, to set up the commission for three years at a cost of $500,000. The bill suggested that the commission look into areas such as birthing, parenting, nutrition, sexual development self-esteem, television, poverty and prejudice. The 25 members include the attorney general, Obledo, the state school superintendent and appointees by the governor, the Assembly, the Senate and the Judicial Owned.

In the post-Proposition 13 public mood, says VasconceUos "People want government to do less, but in crime and violence they still want government to solve the problem. ttaguiariy jwh aaav Friday Noon 'til mldnlte Sat. 10 'til 6 Sun. 12'tll6Mon. 12 'til 10 Laaa tmapj ran.s EVERY piacs ol diseontmuad accoaaory batiary paok.
