I 'Wry June funds for the university could, in effect, be rolled over into May so that if the personnel did not pet paid on May 28 they would get paid three days later, on June 1. Earlier yelsterday, City budget Director Donald Kummerfeld had told the university that its $30.6 million allocation for this month would be slashed by $14.8 million.

A spokesman for Goldin explained that the action was taken because at its current rate of expenditure the university would exceed its total annual allocation. Kibbee conceded, though, that the real problem would come at the end of June, when, he said, the university might have to impose payless furloughs on its staff and cancel graduations if the university ran out of cash. He said he believed that "the politicians" were trying to prod the Board of Higher Education into imposing tuition. He said that the politicians were fearful of calling for tuition themselves and were leaving it up to the board. The chancellor said the "weakness" of the governor's plan stemmed from the fact that the university was being asked to charge tuition at a level of from $750 to $900 the equiva Kibbee charged that the proposal would provide the uni versity with a $467 million budget instead, of the $505 million he insisted the school needed next year.

Responding: also to a possible cutoff of funds by the city at the end of the month which would jeopardize the university's $19 million May payroll, Kibbee called that "a phony issue."

Carey, meanwhile, sat down with legislative leaders in Albany to go over details of the plan revealed in The News yesterday.

Basically, that plan, relies on imposition of tuition for revenues of about $135 million. Republican Senate Majority Leader Warren Anderson (Bing--hamton) said that he would not 'move on it" until the Democrats acted. Carey had said earlier that tuition was a "painful" decision but would keep-the university afloat. middle-class persons to "abandon the cities."

"Fails to Recognize" Pointing to a list of other major cities with the same experience, Anker said: "We're heading precipitously towards educational segregation in the United States.

Anker said the city also must deal with the problems posed by educating of all state pupils below minimum competency levels in reading and math, as well as 63rr of children with incomes below the poverty level.

The Commodore also owes the city $10.2 million in back taxes and interest. The plan approved yesterday would allow the Penn Central to turn over the hotel and land to the state Urban Development Corporation, which in turn would lease it to the developer of the new hotel, the Wembley Realty a subsidiary of the Trump Organization. The transfer would, in effect, make the hotel and property tax exempt for at least 40 years.

peaKing to euueators at a session of the Council of Great City Schools, Anker said "educational red-lining" described city, state and federal policies because it compared closely to the practice associated with the banking industry. -Outside the Pale" "By red-lining an area, the banks, with a stroke of the pen, place that community outside the pale," he said. "No more loans for home improvements, no additional mortgages, no further financial shoring up Neighborhoods die because of red-lining: cities die because neighborhoods die."
