Interest Rates To Fall After June 30 Says Kennedy
Treasury Secretary Davin Kennedy predicts interest rates will peak and then drop after June 30. He argued borrowing costs are at a 100 year high and tighter credit, plus the surtax, will influence the downturn. He urged Congress to extend the surtax and maintain anti inflation policies while cities seek funds without deficit financing. Summer began early this year and the class of 1969 faces tougher debt paths than previous generations.

Black studies and militant demands critique in academia
A columnist views militant Black studies demands at Minnesota and other campuses as misguided. He notes the $800,000 figure misrepresented as $8,000, critiques the push for Afro-American programs, and argues genuine students suffer when academics bow to political pressure.
