"The Important point Is that It's not a necessary thing to do, but It Is an advantageous thing to do as we see it because It reduces cost and It provides the facilities for these other purposes (such as air conditioning). It will reduce the main cost by making the windows more alike." BART paid the Detroit-based idcslgn firm of Sund-berg-Ferar and the Louif Car Division of General Steel Industries, to design and project.

At a met-iing of the redevelopment agency, Rumford, speaking for the developer, voiced a suspicion that politics might be Involved In the holdups. He said that repeatedly just as all problems seemed solved, new ones emerged. "I wish the FHA would move along on this," he said. To Nat Frank el, agency chairman who has lived with the Acorn Project since Its Inception, the lack of progress obviously Is frustrating. "For the last month and a half or two months, the issue has been sharply defined and recently.

"It seems to me that clearly drawn," Frankcl said the length of time should have been sufficient to resolve It." During the past five years and two months since the present Acorn budget was set up, the redevelopment agency has spent $13,928,599 on the I. JOHN ASMUS Another.

Only the legislatures can im- Kse tuition at the colleges, wever.

An administration spokesman said current thining is that university tuition still would be about $250 a year. There is a possibility, he said, the regents could cut the cur rent annual $241 U.C. incidental fees slightly.

Asmus said the important thing to consider Is whether the BART car can compete with the private automobile. "There's no great technological advance in the aesthetic appearance of this vehicle or the fact we've using carpets on the floor, or that the seats are plush instead of being fiber glass benches. These construct the full tUe mock'Up. The car was unveiled in June, 1965.

and BARTs publicity department promptly heralded the coach as "pact-letting." BART asked Si Louis Car and SundbergFerar to come, up with a design that was structurally possible, Asmus said. "Now In I 1 our charge to St. Louis Car should have been: Not only -what Is structurally possible, but what Is structurally economical," Asmus said. "They (designer and car-builder) weren't asked (that) at that time and the project was In no bind for money during that period of time when everybody was looking at the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow," Asmus said, stressing he believes neither St. Loiiis Car nor Sundberg-Ferar can be held at fault One problem with the mock-up is that it was based things art known.

They're used In airplanes and buses," Asmus said. "So we haven't come up with an SST," Stokes "We have come up with tha first 1968-75 model transit sysr tern, again evolutionary not revolutionary, Incorporating, again, all of this technology wrapping it together in a product that could be marketed."

They have, consulted university and college officials in California and elsewhere.

Reagan aides are consider- Jng a formula to determine a student's need, taking Into account his family's income and obligations and his own ability to help pay for tuition, room and board, books and fees.
