Kaiser was one of seven Oakland schools designated to receive students bused out of their neighborhoods to alleviate de facto segregation. The new students were directed to their classrooms by Principal Helen P.

San Diego police reported they are holding Reece under maximum security. Officers said they didn't learn who Reece was until after they booked fain, at San Diego for investigation of armed robbery, burglary and possession of a firearm. They were searching' for neece as a suspect in the armed robbery of Pollard's Drug Store in San Diego. In the store, police found an owners manual for a 1965 Ford Mus tang, which the druggist said the bandit had used to shield his firearm.

The book carried a stamp bearing the name of Broadway Ford in Oakland. A teletype check revealed the car had been stolen, and San Diego robbery detectives issued an all- points bulletin for it The car was stopped as Reece attempted to cross the border. At Recce's motel in San Ysi- dro, police found an automatic pistol believed to be the one used in the drugstore robbery, a cloth bag full of change and $100 in currency allegedly taken a Friday eight safe burglary at the Spring Valley Water Co. in San Diego. Immediately after his arrest Reece told San Diego officers he had left a bomb in one of the city's schools, and that it would go off if he were not released.

3 Although-officers saidjtheyj discounted the story, they con- ducted a search of all the schools. No bomb was found. Reece was originally held on two counts of kidnaping and one count each of robbery, assault wits a deadly weapon and as sault with in cent to commit murder, all in connection with a robbery attempt June 11 at a Hayward drug store. He was arrested after a wild chase in which he took two hostages, one of them an Alameda County Sheriff's officer. His escape from Highland was a classic.

After he walked from the apartment, the occupant called police, who called the hospital No, the hospital said, Reece was still in his room. But the deputy checked, just in case. The apartment dweller, Mrs. Willie Sales, of 2325 23rd said Reece also took $58 from her purse when he borrowed her phone.

Chancellor Roger W. Heyns of tne Berekiey campus expressed this thought today before a seminar of the Center for Research and Development in Higher Education meeting here aunnguusweeK. But there ewre some differ ences of opinion on how this should be accomplished.

Dr. Heyns concentrated on a discussion of how constructive group participation in university affairs can be developed. OBJECT OF MEETING There are three kinds of meetings JvMch have been on" the "Berkeley camDUsrhe said. There are those to develop in formation, those which offer advice, and those for decision making. Too often, administrative offi cers do not make explicit which is the object of the meeting, re sulting in confusion for all.

Dr. Heyns said a big trouble has been that many groups in vited to participate in meetings come loaded with "tricks, hoping to maneuver other participants into their way of thinking. He asked for both faculty and student groups to participate in discussions of university affairs, especially the faculty. But he emphasized that the administration must make the decisions. REDUCE HOSTILITIES Greater faculty participation in campus affairs of all kinds would serve to reduce hostili ties, he said.

Dr. Logan Wilson, president of the American Council on Education, Washington, D.C., said he did not think the faculty and the students should be con sidered in the same category. The faculty, and the students must be different, he said. In his very brief comments, he said it seemed hat "stu dents take all their time going to meetings." He asked for greater concen tration on studies. The sessions tomorrow will be on "Faculty Aaministrauve Relationships," "Faculty Evaluation," and "External Rela tions." S.F.
