SURPRISE MOVE:
France refuses

PARIS (R) - Charles de Gaulle defied the onslaught
of speculative pressure against the franc yesterday and de-

presidency to make one of the world's strongest.
The 78-year-old general, who last week dismissed de-
valuation as "the worst of absurdities," has decided to fall
back on France's $3.9 billion gold reserves and $2.9 billion'
of international support pledged to defend the franc.
But it appeared he would have to prepare a series of

"Making work" was a policy
used during the depression by

out these earnings.
Under the law, a student is
eligible for the program if he
can maintain good standing in
his courses while employed, is
ehrolled as a full-time student,
and is a native of the United
States or intends to become . a
permanent resident.
According to financial a i d s
director Walter B. Rea, the
University defines "good stand-
ing" for the purposes of this
program as eligibility for con-
tinued attendance at the Uni-
versity. A student is consider-

en into the program only after
all low income applicants are
placed.
Work-Study programs have
operated on the Flint and Dear-
born campuses for the past three
years, but the program was not
implemented here because a
survey made by the aids office
three years ago showed 300 res-
idence hall jobs unfilled in mid-
year. The personnel department
reported another 300 unfilled.
"If 600 jobs were going beg-
ging," Rea says, "It was certain
a work-study prgoram could not
be filled."

Berends says the students have
been placed in the unique position
of being allowed to create a pro-
gram out of "their own expressed
needs" rather than being subjected
to any preconceived notion of'
urban education by the commis-
sion.
The urban education commis-
sion was formed early this monthj
in response to faculty and student
discontent with the education

program.
