Hubbard may announce altered governance plan
By Peter Wong
associate editor
A revised university decisionmaking system that will accommodate the differing outlooks of students, faculty and deans has reportedly been decided upon by President John Hubbard and may be announced today.
The system will include separate governing councils for students, faculty and deans that will discuss matters of primary concern to their constituency.
It also establishes a university council of about 90 members that would discuss matters of general university concern and supervise all university committees, including the task forces under the Advisory Committee on Academic Planning.
The council’s members would be selected from the schools of the university and the three divisions of the College of Letters,
Arts and Sciences—the dean, two faculty members and one student for each unit.
A 10-member executive committee ofthe council would meet regularly with the president.
Hubbard reportedly decided upon this plan so that the current impasse over governance proposals could be resolved. He apparently did not want the debate over governance to continue through a fifth year.
The current impasse was cuased w'hen the University Senate approved a plan for gover-
nance that varied from the plan approved by the Council of Deans.
The deans voted Sept. 21 for a plan developed by a commission appointed by Hubbard in September, 1971, and headed by Henry Reining, Jr., dean of Von KleinSmid Center for International and Public Affairs.
The plan would have established a reprsentative assembly of more than 100 members as the central decision-making unit.
However, the senate, the representative body of the faculty,
voted Oct. 28 for elements of plans developed by the senate in October, 1969, and by a committee appointed by President Norman Topping in February, 1970, and headed by Paul Hadley, dean of University College and Summer Session.
Hubbard’s proposed system, which he presented to the deans Wednesday and to'the senate executive committee Monday, combines elements of the plans offered.
Those who favored a. broadly representative assembly may be
satisfied by the composition of the council, which has been enlarged to include a greater number of representatives of students and faculty.
At the same time, those who favored separate governing councils for students, faculty and deans, and a small council that would discuss only matters of mutual concern, may be satisfied by the arrangement Hubbard has proposed, for the president has. in effect, adopted their plan.
Faculty members will also be satisfied in the revision of the universiy committee system, because the university council will supervise all committees, including the task forces under the Advisory Committee on Academic Planning, headed by Z.A. Kaprielian, vice-president for academic administration and research.
Hubbard to decide if tuition will be raised
By Barbara Wegher

A decision concerning a possible tuition increase of $210 annually will be made by President John Hubbard within the next twro weeks, said Zohrab A. Kaprielian, vice-president for academic administration and research.
The increase will be needed to raise an approximate $2.7 million to cover costs in uncontrollable commitments, such as extended sick leave, health insurance, maintenance of buildings and telephone calls.
Kaprielian said, “Anthony Lazzaro (vice-president for business affairs) indicated to me that this would be the amount that would be needed to meet the increase in these areas.”
In addition, Kaprielian said he saw the need for a raise in faculty salaries. “The University of California faculty received a 5.5% across-the-board raise in salaries.”
They also received 2 to 3% in merit raises. Our faculty needs a raise to keep up with inflationary living costs,” he said.
In his talk at the annual faculty breakfast Sept. 30, Hubbard pledged that faculty salary increases would have the highest priority for 1973-74.
Kaprielian estimated that for every increase of $100 in tuition, approximately $1.5 million in additional revenue would be produced yearly.
'Thus the tuition increase will either pay for salary increases or the uncontrollable commitments. It’s purely a game of musical chairs. It doesn’t really matter which one it pays for,” he said.
New student aid
Some ofthe additional money from an increase in tuition will be allocated for new student scholarships and loans. This w as done last year when tuition was increased by $310. he said.
The rest of the money needed to keep the university out of a deficit will come from such other sources as increased fundraising, Kaprielian said. “Hubbard’s main concern was not to increase tuition. That's nice to say. but the need for so many

Reflections on Ingle’s career as dental school dean
By Betty Gaynor
“I am sure that history will record John Ingle’s eight years here at USC as the most important era in the history ofthis institution,” Dr. Harry M. Bohannan, dean ofthe College of Dentistry at the University of Kentucky, said at a testimonial dinner Nov. 16 for Dr. John Ingle, former dean of the School of Dentistry.
A contrast between the School of Dentistry in 1964. when Ingle became dean, and w hat it is today, supports Bohannan’s statement.
1962 conditions
In 1962. the American Dental Association accreditation committee reported “serious deficiencies” in facilities, number of faculty members, and curriculum.
When he became dean. Ingle set out to remedy these problems, the most pressing of w’hich wras to raise the $4.8 million necessary for the three-floor addition to the dental facility on 34th Street.
Through his remarkable capacity to generate financial support, according to Dr. Judson Klooster, dean of the School of Dentistry at Loma Linda University,
Ingle secured the funds to complete the building in 1969.
For the first time in more than 50 years, the School of Dentistry was housed under one roof. Before then, students had their classwork in a turn-of-the-century building that has since been torn down to make way for the Law Center. Clinical work w as performed on the other side ofthe campus at the 34th Street facility, which is presently the first floor of the present School of Dentistry. The distance from one building to the other was over a mile.
Additional space The new addition provided space for ten multidisciplinary teacing laboratoreis, two lecture halls, numerous small classroom-laboratories. offices and preparation rooms—all necesarv for the study of basic sciences and preclinical dentistry. Clinical facilities were more than doubled.
For the first time there was ample room for research in critical dental problems, for a program of graduate dental education. and for postdoctoral continuing education.
Once the new building was completed, Ingle looked to other pressing needs of
the school. By 1972. he had doubled the size ofthe faculty to 70 full-time and more than 300 part-time professors, increased the total budget of the school from $1 million in 1964 to almost $5 million, and then he reorganized the curriculum.
Nine new departments were added; hours of clinical experience for students were increased from 10 to more than 80.
Progress indicated
The 1970 report by the accreditation committee, reflecting on these changes, was highly complimentary. It commended Ingle on “his dynamic and imaginative leadership which has encouraged vigorous progressiveness in dental school administrative activites and in the faculty.” Also the committee was impressed with the high quality and dedication of the dental faculty, which is charged with the conduct ofthis educational program.”
Of all the dental care programs initiated duringlngle’syearsat USC. most attention has been focused upon the Mobile Dental Care Dental Ambassadors program. Walter Unger, director of dental planning, says. It was started four years
ago. as a personal program by a professor of oral surgery.
Originally, students and faculty traveled to remote parts of Mexico, delivering dental care to people who knew' nothing of dental hygiene. Today, the members of the mobile clinic treat people in the rural areas of Central and Southern California.
They provide free dental health care to children of migrant farm workers and those on Indian reservations. So far this year, more than 2.000 children have received dental care from this program.
Expanded research
Beyond his social commitment. Ingle has dedicated himself to the furtherance of dental research.
"Before 1964. research at USC was almost nonexistent.” said Dr. Daniel Gordon. president of the Southern California Dental Association and a member of the dental faculty.
The $1.4 million currently spent on research projects represents more than the total budget ofthe School of Dentistry in 1964, he emphasized.
Research programs of USC have earned
