MIKE GLEASON: An operating budget of more than $5 million
has been approved by the Charlottesville school board.
With a vote of 5 to 1, the board last night
pushed the budget to $5,300,000 for the fiscal year
beginning in June.
While the budget is highest in the city's school history,
the yearly increase of 11% is the lowest since 1964.
I'm Mike Gleason.
Mike Lantrop and I will have details to this and other news

MIKE GLEASON: In presenting the $5.3 million
school budget to the Charlottesville school board
last night, superintendent Edward W. Rushton
described instruction as the heart
of the educational program in the city.
Rushton called for completion of the final phase
of a three-year instructional program begun in 1968.
The largest single increase in the proposed budget
is as expected.
For teacher salaries, up $314,000 over last year's
allocation of $3.3 million.
Reaction to the proposal varied.
School board chairman Dr. W. Copley McClain
said the budget is, as he put it, relatively conservative.
Assistant City Superintendent Marvin C. Sutton
called the proposal a tight one but one we can live with,
he said.
But the Chairman of the Charlottesville Education
Association Salary Committee, Julius Crayfact,
said of the teachers' salaries, we regard the new salary scale
as totally inadequate.
He asked the school board to re-evaluate the scale
to come closer to teacher salaries.
The next step in the budget matter
is presentation of the proposal to city council.
Cable 10 News will examine the budget request
closer in a feature tonight on the evening news.
Mike?
MIKE LANTROP: Although the Charlottesville School Board
proposed funds for a noontime transportation
of the kindergarten pupils in the Clarke School area.
In the 1970-71 budget, the board did not
provide additional funds for noontime transportation
of any other elementary school pupils.
The Charlottesville PTA asked the board earlier this year
to provide noontime transportation
for kindergarten pupils who were not
attending the kindergarten program because
of lack of transportation.
In their proposed budget, the board
asked for $6,555 in increases for pupil transportation
next year, the bulk of which would
go toward busing pupils living in the Clarke School area
at the present time.
The city school system is spending $23,370.
Finance Director Martin C. Sutton
said that, under the new request,
three buses will transport the 170 pupils involved
in the project, with kindergarten lasting only
through the coming year, going to and from,
leaving Jackson School at noon.
However, the PTA council has requested transportation
for pupils in the schools next year.

MIKE LANTROP: At the last meeting of Charlottesville City
Council, Mitchell [INAUDIBLE] presented
to his fellow councilmen a proposal
which would open up most, or all, of city council's
future meetings.
Mayor [INAUDIBLE] Vote appointed a committee
to study the proposal at that time.
Today, the Freedom of Information Committee
announced its first scheduled meeting
and explained that it would be closed.
The session was first scheduled for last week
but was postponed because city attorney Clyde Goldman was
out of town at that time.
The first session was to be open to the press,
according to chairman Kenneth E. Davis.
But yesterday, Davis said he had conferred with Mayor Vote.
And quote, "we decided" unquote, that the meeting should not
be open to the public.
Councilman Mitchell [INAUDIBLE],, who
is a member of the Freedom of Information Committee,
along with Davis and W.A. Reinhardt III
criticized the action as quote "ludicrous" unquote.
Why should we hold a closed meeting
to discuss making all future meetings open, he asked.
When [INAUDIBLE] introduced the freedom of information
resolution two weeks ago, the motion
by Councilman Davis for disposition of the motion read
that it should be quote "referred for complete study
in an unsecret meeting and recorded."
MIKE GLEASON: A total of 96 delegates
were chosen last night by Charlottesville Democrats
in a mass meeting at Lane High School.
The delegates will attend a Citywide nominating convention
on Saturday, the first for the city
party in more than 15 years.
Last night's mass meeting was held
to elect delegates and alternate delegates.
But more excitement was created by a surprise visit
by one democratic candidate and the rumors of other party
candidates.
[INAUDIBLE] W. Williams, candidate for the 7th district
seat in the US House of Representatives,
subject to a party convention next month,
said they made an informal visit last night
to shake hands and seek support.
Williams, who is eyeing the seat now held
by Congressman John O'Morris Junior,
was generally well received.
And while Williams was busy making hallway political talk,
there were precinct caucuses and several classrooms
where potential city council candidates were discussed.
Most frequently mentioned as Democratic candidates
in the council [INAUDIBLE] election
are Francis Fife, the Vice President
of Virginia National Bank and University
of Virginia Associate Professor Richard Jennings.
Jennings said last night he had nothing
to say at this point concerning his possible candidacy.
Fife, however, commented he would like to serve on council.
Until last night, Fife had avoided
commenting on making himself--
his excuses why he could not run.
But after last night's meeting, he
was listing reasons why he thought he should run.

MIKE LANTROP: Governor Linwood Holton said today
if Senator Harry F. Byrd, Jr. wants
to be re-elected this year, he had better
try to get the nomination of the Republican Party in Virginia.
Holden predicted, without reservation,
that quote "our nominee will win in this election."
Byrd shocked the Democratic Party leadership on March 17th
by announcing he was leaving to seek re-election
as an independent.
Since then, he has been prominently mentioned
as possibly receiving the endorsement or the nomination
of the Republican Convention in June.
But Holden, without advocating such a move by Byrd,
said that he would have to come into the Republican ranks
to get that nomination.
He predicted that Byrd would find himself
quote "the loneliest man in the world
if he persisted" in his run-up for re-election
as an independent.
Because, he said, the Republicans
are not about to draft Byrd.
MIKE GLEASON: Author W. Nick Arendelle, a Northern Virginia
newspaper publisher and radio executive,
has all but announced his candidacy
for the Democratic nomination for the US Senate.
And on Arendelle's heels is Fairfax Delegate Clive DuVal
who has also listed himself as a possible candidate
in the Democratic primary scheduled for July 14th.
Arendelle said today he's now willing to provide a better
alternative to the presently declared candidates.
And they are former delegate George C. Rollings
Jr. of Fredericksburg and [INAUDIBLE] Skip Edelson
of Charlottesville.
DuVal says he's giving the senate
race serious consideration.
Both Arendelle and DuVal will apparently
make a final decision after conferences with supporters
across Virginia.
It's unlikely both will make the race and risk splitting
their Northern Virginia base of support.
The complexion of the primary race
changed last month when Byrd announced
he would not seek re-election as a Democrat
but would run as an independent in the November
general election.
Arendelle is publisher of the Loudon Times Mirror and Reston
Times newspapers.
The 42-year-old resident of Hickory Hill in McLean
is also president of WAVA radio station in Arlington.
He describes himself as a political moderate.

MIKE LANTROP: At the last meeting of Charlottesville city

Mayor G. A. Vote requested that a committee be appointed

Stay tuned.
MIKE GLEASON: Democratic Senatorial hopeful Clive DuVal
talks with Cable 10 News.
Tomorrow is a holiday.
And news editor Mike Lantrop has a report
on the University of Virginia and Lane High School.
I'm Mike Gleason.
We'll have details next on Cable 10 News.
Democratic senatorial hopeful delegate Clive DuVal of Fairfax
said today that conservation and pollution
will be major domestic issues facing Congress next year.
DuVal, in an exclusive interview with Cable 10 News,
said there would be issues of major interest to him
should he be successful in his bid
to unseat US Senator Harry F. Byrd Jr. He made these remarks.
CLIVE DUVAL: I think there are a couple that
are very high on the list.
One is the economy.
As I think everybody knows now, we're
in a situation where there's increasing joblessness.
Millions of people are out of work.
At the same time, every time you go to the grocery store,
you have to pay more.
We've got inflation.
I think the checking in this situation
is probably the most important economic-- most important
domestic situation.
Close on the heels of that, I think a little bit longer range
is the question of the environment.
The conservation problems of clean air and clean water.
Because scientists tell us that literally the next 10, 20,
30 years, we might poison ourselves off this planet
if we don't do something to stop the pollution of air,
water, and the garbage, the litter we're
piling all over the landscape or on the road.
For example, if you're [INAUDIBLE] in the foreign
affairs field, I think there's no question that--
MIKE GLEASON: Top state legislator in the United States
in the field of conservation made by the National Wildlife
Federation.
He also told us about the major foreign issue
to be faced by the upcoming 93rd Congress.
CLIVE DUVAL: What problem?
We've got to end it.
It's tragically continued for over 10 years now.
We've lost 42,000 men.
We've spent billions of dollars on this war.
We're going to bring it back to the fact
that it is a war the South Vietnamese are going to have
to win or lose themselves.
It's their job.
And our resolution-- our own revolution,
the American Revolution, we won the war eventually on the land.
We had French help off sea, offshore, Naval help.
But we didn't have very much help in fighting the land war.
The South Vietnamese have got a million men under arms now.
We've armed them well.
They're certainly capable, I think,
of deciding their own fate.
And I think we've got to steadily disengage
our forces from Southeast Asia and leave it up
to them to win or lose, as I say,
their own fight themselves, the South Vietnamese.
MIKE GLEASON: DuVal is a resident of McLean
and has represented Fairfax City, Fairfax County in Falls
Church, in the Virginia House since 1965.
His opposition in the July Democratic Primary
includes former Fredericksburg Delegate George Rawlings.
Meanwhile Williams, who is seeking
the Democratic nomination for the congressional race
in Virginia's 7th district, picked up increased support
last night and from a conservative Shenandoah Valley
county, where he is not expecting favorable results.
Shenandoah County Democrats, in a mass meeting in Woodstock,
nominated Leo Snarr, a former campaign aide
to incumbent Congressman John O. Marsh,
as a favorite [INAUDIBLE] candidate
to the nominating convention next week in Stanton.
But Snarr, noting the candidacy of Williams,
turned down the nomination.
Snarr thanked the committee and directed their attention
to Williams.
Who, Snarr said, has worked hard for that nomination.
The Shenandoah county delegation adopted a resolution
thanking Congressman Marsh who is not seeking the party's
nomination this year.
Marsh is from Shenandoah County.

MIKE LANTROP: University of Virginia Student Judiciary
Committee is investigating cases involving
the occupation of a Naval ROTC building
during anti-war demonstrations at the school
earlier this month, and has already
found one first-year student guilty of what
he calls "conduct unbecoming a gentleman."
The committee's authority extends
to the possible suspension of guilty students.
The freshmen whose case was tried Tuesday
was given a written reprimand for his permanent university
records.
The 16-member committee has been given
a list of 22 additional names of persons identified
as being present during the occupation of the building,
[INAUDIBLE] Hall.
A spokesman emphasized, however, that a person's name
on the list does not mean that he was necessarily
in the building to occupy it.
The list includes the names of student council president,
member of student council, student marshals,
as well as members of the Virginia Strike Committee
and an organization called the Radical Student Movement.
At least some persons were authorized to be there
or were attempting to persuade occupying students
to leave the building.
MIKE GLEASON: At the school.
And another Charlottesville student at the university
has been picked as Vie President of the Graduate School
of Business Administration.
Steven Robeson will be the new president of the Mulholland

MIKE GLEASON: In what is termed a temporary move,
Charlottesville School Superintendent Edward Rushton
says additional space is being sought around Lane High School.
Cable 10 News Editor Mike Lantrop reports.
MIKE LANTROP: The city council candidates,
Charlottesville school superintendent Dr. Edward
Rushton explained at his press conference
Tuesday that additional space is being
sought around Lane High School on what he
called a temporary basis.
Democratic candidates Francis Frank and Charles [INAUDIBLE]
criticized on Monday a plan to hold some noon classes
at McGuffy Education Center next year,
a measure approved last week by the school board in an effort
to relieve overcrowding at Lane High School.
The Democrats also charged that the problem with overcrowding
at Lane should have been faced during preparation
of the 1970-71 school budget.
Rushton noted yesterday that expansion
of the educational program at Lane
was the main reason for the shortage of classroom space.
He said, we're trying to provide space and take
care of the educational program for the coming year.
He described the overcrowding situation at Lane
as a temporary problem.
What we want to do now, he said, is concentrate
on getting the new high school.
And in the meantime, concentrate on using
as much space around Lane as possible
on a temporary basis, not a permanent one.
State Senator Jay Harry Michael of Charlottesville

In the headlines tonight, University
of Virginia President Edgar Shannon
has praised university students for not letting the university
close down in the midst of student disruptions last month.
Shannon spoke during commencement ceremonies
at the University, at which 1,974 graduating seniors
received degrees.
Shannon said the university glimpsed the perils
to academic freedom last month and came dangerously
close to closing its doors.
In other university news, 18 Charlottesville men
were among 165 officers who received commissions
last Saturday at the University of Virginia.
And members of the university's reserve officer Training Corps,
the ROTC, were addressed by retired Admiral George W.
Anderson Jr., former chief of Naval Operations
and US ambassador to Portugal.
Admiral Anderson delivered the main address,
administered the oath of office to 79 army cadets, 57 Navy
midshipmen, 27 Air Force cadets, and two Marine cadets.
He also presented commissions to the Navy midshipmen
and marine cadets.
10 Charlottesville men received the commission
of second lieutenant in the US Army,
while five were commissioned in the Air
Force, three in the Navy.
Among the army cadets, the Lieutenant Michael F. Scott
award was presented to Stephen Dichter of Charlottesville.
And Air Force cadet Charles Thonburg Jr. of Charlottesville
was the recipient of the professor of air science award,
given by the Air Science staff to the cadet who has
given the most to that corps.
A retiring professor of law at the University of Virginia,
and two degree candidates, received the coveted Algeron
Sidney Sullivan awards for excellence
of character and service to humanity Saturday
at the University.
Team Mumford Boyd was the retiring professor
who received the honor at the annual class day
exercises on the lawn.
Money Boyd, a professor of law since 1947,
was a 1957 recipient of the Thomas Jefferson award,
given annually to an outstanding member of the university
community.
A native of Roanoke, blind since childhood,
Boyd was an unsuccessful candidate for Virginia Attorney
General in 1961.
He was described Saturday as never too busy to give
sympathetic hearing and wise counsel,
unselfishly sharing his time and wisdom.
And he was honored as the symbol of modesty,
of courtesy and integrity to his students
and his colleagues of the faculty at the University
for the past 23 years.
Each year, the degree candidate in each school
at the University who has the highest cumulative grade
average receives a Z Society Book Award.
This year, five persons from Charlottesville
were recipients of this award.
They were Philip Stevenson of the Graduate School of Business
Administration, Robert McCall of the Law School,
Michael Teague of the School of Engineering and Applied
Sciences, Miss Mary Duffelmeyer of the School of Education,
and James Boniface of the School of Architecture.
Boniface was the degree candidate also
from the School of Architecture to receive
the annual American Institute of Architects
award, which is given for leadership
and professional promise.
He was one of 34 graduates in the school
to receive a special letter of commendation
from School of Architecture Dean Joseph Bosman
during those final exercises.
In other news today, a Republican youth group
has been organized to encourage the party
to support US Senator Harry Byrd in his bid for re-election.
Spearheading the new group is Don Falcon,
who also heads the Young Republican Club
at the University of Virginia.
Many prominent Virginia Republicans,
including Governor Linwood Holton,
want the party to forget Byrd's independent campaign
and back a candidacy of his own.
Meanwhile, State Republican Chairman Warren French
says US Senator Byrd should be told
he can't win a three-way contest for the Senate,
and that the Republican Party plans
to name its own candidate.
French says Republicans pushing for the party
to endorse Byrd's candidacy should prod the senator
to go after the party's endorsement as a Republican.
In other political news, tomorrow
is election day here in Charlottesville,
and Cable 10 News Editor Mike Lantrop has that report.
MIKE LANTROP: Two of five city council candidates
will celebrate victory as Charlottesville voters go
to the polls tomorrow to conclude a quiet, uneventful
council [INAUDIBLE] campaign.
Seeking the two council seats are two Republicans,
including the incumbent mayor, an independent, and two
Democrats, including a Negro who hopes
to be the first of his race to serve on city
council in modern times.
The five candidates, listed alphabetically,
are Charles Barbour, 34-year-old Negro Democrat.
