He said he has told some deans to get the best men in the country to Strength en these weak spots.

Walker told the members of his audience, that many of them could not have gained admis-. sion under the standards < the University now has, and that the! expansion program how under way has definite limits. ."WE WILL HAVE an ex pansion of 30 per cent in! the "undergraduate enrollment and 100; per cent in the graduate : enrollment and then we ! are through,” Walker said. I The goal is 35,000( students by 1970, he said: - At I this tinie the University is running about 2,000 under'the rate of expan sion ;which would enable .this The possibility of establishing a junior Council for sorority pledges Jand new initiates was discussed last night at a meeting of sorority pledge class presidents.

Steel Corp., stood firm yesterday on the $6-a-ton raise in steel prices. He did so even as, a federal, grand jury moved in on his company to investigate the increase. Blough defended the price boost as noninflationary and as essential to a healthy national econorpy. President Kennedy denounced thejsteel price raise Wednesday as and irresponsible defiance of the public interest.’* But Blough told a nationally televised news conference: “There wfis nothing irresponsible about the action we have taken.” • ASKED IF HE was .surprisedi by the bitter White House re-i action, Blough replied: “I was.” US.

Washington reports had indicated the administration intended to put executive and con gressional pressure on the steel companies, m the hope of dis couraging price increases by oth< [er firms and industries. if' Blough defended US. Steel’s ipricing- action as overdue, and so modest in scope that iit Would, have little doliars-and-rents ef fect on the nation's economy.. He offered figures to indicate the steel boost would add only $10.64 to the price' of a standard sire automobile, 70 Cynts to a gas range, 35 cents to a Washing ma chine. 65 ’ cents to a refrigerator and only three cents to an elec tric 'toaster. The executive declared- that steel prices have remained'stable for four years, while industry (costs have risen. The pledge presidents decided lost night to discuss the idea with their respective pledge classes and meet again on April 24 to decide whether to establish a Jr. Panhel. IF THE ORGANIZATION is set up. Miss Walko said, Panhel would like to be a working body for new pledge*! next year. In an informal vote taken at the meeting, a majority of the pledge presidents favored establ ishing a Jr. Panhel.
