The Stock Exchange Council in London banned trading of any sort. The outlook for Tuesday's prices was that leading domestic industrial stocks would go lower and issues with around-the-worfd interests would climb. In Frankfurt industrial common stocks slumped at first but banks then moved in and with the professional operators drove values higher again. Hugo demand for gold mining stocks in Paris produced a ban on deals in these shares on the heels of the British devaluation. The Zurich stock market turned weak under selling as a result of the British move. In Vienna the cut in the pound's value had net made any impact on the stock market. Rome's stock market fell back under the blow of devaluation. In London commodity markets were mostly closed but those .which did open, like the London Metal Exchange, saw prices moving higher by between 10 and 12 per cent. AWOL Sailors Appear In Moscow MOSCOW Four American sailors who deserted the aircraft carrier Intrepid in Japan last month appeared on Moscow television Monday night to denounce U.S. involvement in Vietnam.

The Arkansas Democrat, previously a staunch opponent of the $7.4 billion surtax proposal, called the Committee to reconsider in light of a reported new proposal by the Johnson Administration to cut federal spending by as much as $5 billion. Rep. James A. Burke, DMass., a member of Mills' committee, disclosed what he said would be administration plans to cut spending between $4 billion and $5 billion. France Blocks Britain Again BRUSSELS France Monday blocked attempts by its European Common Market partners to start even low-level negotiations with Britain on membership. French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de MurviHe refused to allow the market's executive commission to contact Britain to discuss how devaluation affects British membership. Couve said the executive commission could talk with British Ambassador to the Common Market Sir James Arjoribanks as it does with 64 other ambassadors accredited to the communities. But the French foreign minister vetoed a demand by the other five, led by West Germany's Foreign Minister Willy Brandt, that the commission should be mandated to consult British government experts.

By WAYNE HURDER of The Daily Tor Heel StaS "Carolina has begun to formulate some of the most progressive programs dealing with substantive problems in the University community." That's student legislator John McMurray's opinion of student involvement in the University after attending a National Student Association conference on Student Power and talking with studenls from colleges across the country. 'McMurray points to the Academic Affairs Committee, the Course Evaluation, the Experimental CoHege, the Association for Educational Innovation, the Carolina Talent Search, and the Residence CoHege Commission as examples of programs (involving students started here to deal with problems in the University. t McMurray, who defines stucSent power as "power with responsibility" was UNO's delegate to the conference at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minn,, over the weekend. Another UNC student, David Kiel, went as an NSA seminar leader on educational reform and curriculum development. He agreed somewhat with TMcMurray that the University as progressive ; in sharing responsibility with students and said that "structurally speaking we are fairly well advanced." PsychologicaHy ' speaking," he added, however, "many other student governments are Smore wffiing to take a greater responsibility.'' Also -attending the conference were two UNC. alumni, Tedldy OToole, former j NSA coordinator here and now national educational - affairs vice president for NSA, and Paul Dickson, UNC student body president from 1965 to 4966, Dickson, who brought suit against the University because of the Speaker Ban law, led a workshop on "student Power Achieved Through Legal -Action." McMurray says that the NSA convention showed that students throughout the country "are faced with the same basic problems about their education." He cited academic and social problems, autonomy, student civil liberties, freedom of thought,. and the multiversity as examples of problems shared by students. "Carolina has begun the first steps for solving these basic problems and has a potential for gradually developing the most effective and progressive ways cf confronting these questions in the nation," according to McMurray. "Student Power has been misconceived as being demonstrations and sit-ins," McMurray says, but calls this only a limited manifestation cf a desire for student power. Kiel says that such methods as sit-ins and demonstrations should be used 4osiy when aU means within the system have been completely exhausted." At the seminars, which were the basis of the conference, the delgates discussed the role of student governments, the approaches different schools had used to bring about change, and the resaHs of these changes, McMurray said. Any effective action for change depended on mcbilizig student support and opinion, according to him. UNC student government is "beginning to develop the potential for mobilizing people," he said. But, he added, "there is a great deal cf room for improvement" 1 -2- v. ' ' 1 1 V s - w - " N. v v - I v - ,) i ... - - 1. J- ;,"C v -0$ . . - I ' rjf. ' ' - - y-" " '- . - - I . , , , , 2:c ...

Philosophy Colloqium Scheduled Here PhUosophers from the Carolinas and adjacent states wil meet with some of the outstanding phflosophers of ihe United States and England here over Thanksgiving weekend. When the Chapel Hill CoUoquium in Philosophy meets Nov. 24 for three days of discussion and debate, the -main emphasis will be on current philosophical work-in-progress. , About, 100 scholars are expected to attend the conference, first in a yearly series sponsored by the department of philosophy in cooperation with the Extension Division of the University. WeH-fcnown philosophers are expected from the universities of Pittsurgh, Toronto, Texas, Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, Illinois, Duke, Oberlin, Swarthcnore, Princeton, California, Michigan, Minnesota, Chicago, Oxford, M. L T., and many cofleges and universJaes in the Caro linas and Virginia. Based on the belief that progress in philosophy depends upon active dialogue between phflosophers, the Chapel Hfll CoUoquium aims to promote animated discussions of work-in-progress, not completed theses. A very representative Anglo American group of scholars will be presenting topics in the philosophy of language, the philosophy of mind, the tphilosophy ethics. of science and The three-day conference will open Friday night with a p r e s e n t a t ion "Relations Between the Concepts 0 f Confirmation" given by L. Jonathan Cohen from Queen's CoHege, Oxford and Columbia University. Prof. Cohen, author of "The Diversity of Meaning," is noted for his work in the philosophy of language. "Objects of Perception" will be the presentation for Saturday morning, given by Jerry Fodor from the Masschusetts Institute 0 f Technology. Commenting on Fodor's presentation will be Stanley Munsat, from the University of California, Irvine. Fodor's primary research has been in the study of language and linquistics. He has written numerous articles on semantics and philosophical psychology. Munsat, author of The Concept of Memory, is a specialist in the field of memory. H. P. Grice, recently of Oxford, now at the University of California at Berkeley, wiU present Saturday afternoon's paper "PhHosophy of Language." Grice is a leading philosopher of language, most noted for his influence in lectures and seminars both in the, U. S. and abroad. The Age Of Emsi&Uumemlt -Pimm EducmUom Is Mere By CAROL WONSAFVAGE of T7ie Daily Tar Heel Staff "In today's society few families save for the coHege education of their chHdVen," says William Geer, director student aid at UNC. His statement iUustrates the dilemma of many middle income families who suddenly find themselves facing the overwhelming fact of coHege costs. What little planning they may have done is usuaUy unrealistic, and few have managed to save for coHege at alL "You can't plan and save when you are raising three chUdren," said one mother. It takes all you have to Hve." Despite her store-manager husband's income she had to return to work to send her three children to college. This famHy's situation occurs often. When their children were in high school, they "had no idea" how they would go to coHege, and found that they needed two salaries to send them. One daughter got a scholarship, and the rest of the money "came from somewhere." "Most em i d d 1 e - income famines Hve weU, spend what they make and live on credit," says Geer, diagnosing the problem. "Loans are readily available to families in this income bracket. This the age of installment-plan education." Geer says parents borrow in September, repay through the year, and are ready to start borrowing all over again when School starts the next faH. Many families do some planning, but find that educational costs have snowbaHed since they started to save. Most famflies, however, are not this careful. "Most families spend what they make," says William M. Mackie Jr., assistant director of admissions at Wake Forest University. "Educational expenses come from their salaries and other assets." R, F. Hill, comptroller at at Salem College, a private institution, agrees. "Most families now seem to make no provisions beforehand. If their income is large they might pinch a little whfle the child is in school." Educators agree that many famiHes in North CaroHna treat college expenses as part of the regular bflls, and they do feel this pinch. Thus, the mother may go back to work during her children's coHege years. In one f amHy with five chHdrei? born about 3 years apart the mother renewed her teaching certificate as the children approached coHege age. She says that when her oldest son reached coHege they wanted to "heslp him go to school instead of just send him and hoped he could find a part time job. They soon found, however, that coHege was a f uU-time job in itself. . When her youngest daughter was at UNC-Greensboro she found that sending two children to college at once was "not much of a strain" until coUeges began demanding advance payment twice a year instead of four times. "I never saw my checks for awhile," she says. "I just put them in the bank and they iwere divided between the two schools." . In another family the mother went back to work as a nurse to h elp her freight-agent husband put their one daughter through nursing school. "We just took the money out of our salaries." "We had faith enough that the money would be there," said the mother, "and that we would be able to get it if it wasn't." The students themselves also have this faith, according to Miss Janie Weaver, guidance director at R. J. Reynolds High School in Winston Salem. "Most students leave this planning to their parents," she said. She added that students often change their choice of a school to keep within their parent's income. If they want to go to a higher-priced school, they may then seek financial aid. But what do f amHies do when they find impossible-to-meet college bflls staring them in the face? . One family of six children promised each child $200 a year and left the rest to scholarships, loans, and summer and campus jobs. Wake Forest's Mackie says most students needing help there get "package aid" of loans and scholarships and are encouraged to take a campus job after the freshman year. He noted that there had been a "revolution in the concept of the scholarship." Several years ago the scholarship was an award for academic achievement, but now it has been incorporated with need. But UNC-G's Creech points out that many famiHes think there is more aid available than the schools actuafly re able to supply. "The primary responsibflity of education belongs to the parents and students," he says, "not the taxpayer and private funds." HiU at Salem agrees that with the various loan programs there is "no reason a child shouldn't get an education," but adds that this doesn't mean it will be at the top school. If a child at Salem asks for $2,000 a year in aid, this is unrealistic," Hfll says. "For one thing, we can't afford this kind of aid." But many schools, especially the state-supported institutions, are forced to take over for the parents. As Geer says, 4,004 students out of 13,000 at UNC were on some type of financial aid program last year. "UNC has a tradition of saying no student is turned away for financial reasons," he said, "and it is our job to see that this ruling is carried out." 4,It is a public response
