Richard Ervin said, in effect, yesterday that he did not feel public advocacy of the $75 million college bor.d amendment by university and junior college presidents, violates the state's "Little Hatch" Act. Making official an informal opinion of his staff last Friday, Ervin notified State Rep. Richard Deeb, St. Petersburg Republican, that it is the duty of school officials to inform the public of school needs. He also said public officials are not prevented by law from expressing their personal opinions publicly on political issues. VIOLATION SEEN Deeb complained that speeches by university heads in support of the bond amendment to be voted on Nov. 5 violated the state law against public officials using their official position to influence an election. Ervin said the question of whether an official is using his position to coerce others in the exercise of their right to vote would have to be determined in each' specific case in accord with the facts involvecl. Florida's law regulating poli- tikin' by public officials and employes specifically exempts, among others, heads or directors of state administrative agencies. A university president would qualify under this exemption, according to the attorney general's office.
