IN DISCUSSING other phases of student government, Wharton said he favors the resumption of political party caucuses before each dongress meeting. The prac tice of holding caucuses was com con among all the parties under the Sttident Government Associa tion but was continued only by [ Liberal party when USG was formed. • "Caucuses are a good source of background information on bills before Congress," Wharton ex= plained. He noted, however, that since the congressmen were not elected on political party tickets last January, there was a "ten dency to contradiction" in holding caucuses.

PA.. TUESDAY MORNING. MAY 1. 1962 JFK Denies Plans For Price - Setting WASHINGTON o'l—President Kennedy told the nation's bust nmmen yesterday that his "ad- 1 ministration seeks to preserve a! stable' economic climate-that will keep the government out of price setting. "We have many burdens in; Washington—we do not want the' added burden of determining dividual prices for individual I products," he said. THE PRESIDENT addressed the 50th annual meeting of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Consti tution It was Kennedy's first appearance before a business organization since his epic battle with the steel industry, which ended with the steelmakers back ing down on a move to raise prices by $.B a ton. "This administration, I assure you, shares your concern about the cost-profit squeeze on Ameri can business," Kennedy said. "We Want prosperity; and in a free en terprise system there can .be no prosperity without profit." THE PRESIDENT said the na tion's defense and security com mitments abroad were at the heart, of the issue when the government' sought "to persuade the steel union to accept a noninflationary wage agreement—and to persuade the steel companies to make every soning, logical deduction and the establishment of basic principles," Walker said. "If we should decide that the students and their parents should pay for the expansion, we are faced with the very real danger of replacing academic promise with a - financial test of Who does., and who does not, get into col-' lege." ONLY ONE other state provides less tax support for higher edu cation than the commonwealth, he said. In no other state are the student and - his parent called on to pay a higher percentage of the total bill, he added. Walker said that, taken as a whole,,studenti and their parents pay 55 per ceht of the total, bill for higher education in Pennsyl vania, with. 25 per cent coming from tax revenues and 20 per cent s !from voluntary contributions. effort to maintain price - stability. "It costs the .United States $3 .illion a ' year 'to maintain our troops and our defense establish ment and security commitments abroad," he said. "If the balance or trade is not sufficiently in our favor to finance this burden, we have two alternatives one, to lose `gold, as we have been doing; and two, to begin to withdraw our security commitments. "IF WE ARE to stem the gold outflow," he said, "which we must by one means or another, elimi nate the deficit in our balance of payments and continue to dis charge our far-flung international obligations, we must avoid infla tion, modernize American indus try and impiove our relative posi tion in the world markets." He said he hoped the steel price battle marked a turning point in the relations between government Senate` to Discuss Committee Changes The University Senate will be! asked to approve a reorganization of its Committee Student Affairs l at its regular meeting today, Dr. Benjamin Whislei, chairman of the Rules- Committee, said yester day. The 1 coinm ttee's reorganization was or iginally proposed' March 3 by thdCommittee on Committees as a ineans "to alleviate the in tolerable work load of the chair man of the Senate Committee on Student Affairs and make it more truly presentative of the fac ulty." At That meeting, the proposal' was referred to 'the Rules Com mittee for study. THE COMMITTEE. Whisler said, will propose two changes in the Senate By-Laws and three changes in the Senate Rules to carry out the reorganization. If passed, the changed by-laws would add three faculty members to the student affairs committee, making a total of seven, and re move the dean of men, the dean of w g xnen and the vice president of the Undergraduate Student Government.
