CIRCULAT E PETITIONS:
Congressional Interns Debate

Study Blames Police
For Detroit Flareup


Collegiate Press Service
WASHINGTON - College stu-
dents working in Congressional
offices this summer have launch-
ed a debate over the Vietnam and
their right to express opinions
about It.
A "polite letter" to President
Johnson opposing the war is being
circulated among the 1,300 stu-
dients working as summer Interns

It all started wvhen a group of
interns, led by Mark Green, who
works In the office of Sen. Jacob
Javits (R-NY) wrote a letter ex-
pressing dissatisfaction with the
w/ar. The aim of the letter, Its
sponsors say, is to "convince the
policy makers that some of the
most respected elements of our
young society are concerned with
our actions in Vietnam.'"
De-escalation
The letter urges de-escalation
of the war because of its effects
on domestic programs, including
a stifling of dissent and crisis in
confidence among the young
generation.
It~ does not- endorse specific al-
ternativ'es but says, "We join
with such distinguished Ameri-
cans as Senators Fulbright, Mc-
Govern, Hatfield, and Morse, and
John Kenneth Galbraith, George
Kenpnan, Arthur Schlessinger, Jr.,

under the regular grading sys-
tem.
One girl who took a course in
Chinese Literature on pass-fail
was disturbed. "I got an A in the
lousy course. I would have had my
first four-point average if I hadn't
signed up for pass-fail," she
mourns.
It seems that in at least some
cases the old habits of study and
grade-consciousness are slow to
change. One girl commented "I
tried not to study, but I couldn't
help myself. I stayed up all night
cramming for the final." She got
an A in the course, but her tran-
script shows only a P.
Part of the trouble that stu-
dents seem to be having in read-
justing to pass-fail may be caused

by the fact that the students who
choose pass-fail generally have
a higher grade-point average than
those who don't.
In fact, the averages of the 13
per cent of the eligible seniors
who chose the option was almost
three tenths of a point higher
than the average of those who did
not choose it (3.14 vs. 2.85).
Although the University's ex-
periment with pass-fail is pre-
liminary results are encouraging
to its proponents.

But the program, and others
like it, is still under attack from
both sides of the fence. While
some are disturbed by the lack
of letter grades, others want the
system expanded to include all
courses for every student in all
umiversities.
The debate goes on.
TOMORROW: A reviewv of the
arguments for abolishing and
for expanding the pass-fail pro-
gram.

U.S. Steel Corp. raised tin plate

It was the latest In a ser~ies of
piecemeal moves which have hiked
prices on half of steelmakers'
shipments in a year.
Tin plate, which accounts for

counts for a third of the industry's

Prices went up about 2 per cent
on stainless steel in November and
tubular steel products in January.
The latest increase was 25 cents
per base box, or sheet, of conven-
tional tin plate and 15 cents per
base box ,on double rolled. Prices
on tin plate range from $5.60 to
$10.26 per sheet under the new'
schedules.
In marked contrast to a general
price hik-e which the federal gov-
ernment rolled back *in 1962,
Washington has had little to say
about the latest round.

He also urged lawmakers to

George A. Stinson said tin plate
prices were unchanged from 1958
through 1965, even though tin
prices double. In November, 1965,
the industry raised some tin plate
prices and reduced others.
He said National's labor costs
have increased 42 per cent since
1958, including a three per cent
hike which went into effect Tues-
day under the industry's 1965 con-
tract with the United Steelwor'kers
Union.
Steel profits were also down
sharply the first half of this yea'r
compared to 1966. The dip
amounted to nearly half for many
firms.
