Failure rate at universities studied
SYDNEY Monday The Department of Education and Science is carrying out research into the failure rate of students at Australian universities. Sir Hugh Ennor said the inquiry opened at the request of universities at the 10th Commonwealth Universities Congress at Sydney University. He warned that allowing easy re entry to university would shortchange secondary students and that many students leave with no degree. He cited pass-rate variances across faculties and universities, noting rates from 26 to 61 percent and eight to 52 percent in different cases.

Priest may deny communion over birth control encyclical
A Canberra spokesman for the Catholic Church said denying the sacrament to Catholics who publicly defied the papal encyclical on birth control is an individual priest matter. He cited a Sydney priest who said he would deny communion, but noted no ACT priest was taking similar action. The spokesman affirmed a priest’s duty to administer sacraments to those deemed worthy.

National Wage Case Opens in Melbourne Today
The Full Bench of the Arbitration Commission begins hearings on the national wage case affecting about 4,000,000 Australians. The ACTU seeks a return to the basic wage concept with cost of living adjustments and a rise of 51-10, while the alternative calls for a $7 increase in total wage minimum rates and female rates. The decision could overturn last year’s move to a total wage concept.

Mr P D Allsop, president of the Australian Council of Salaried and Professional Associations, warned yesterday that white collar workers may become more militant for higher pay. He urged less arbitration and more collective bargaining, saying unions must take a tougher stance to secure wage justice. The destruction of basic wage margins would burden the Arbitration Commission with a huge case load.
