UNC Revisions Adopted In Desegregation Plan Overhaul
The UNC board voted 21-3 to approve revisions to a desegregation plan for its 16 campuses. The changes add timing, cost, and administration details for HEW review while preserving the goal to raise black student representation and fund five black institutions by 1976. If rejected, HEW and UNC face 180 days of dialogue and possible federal enforcement.

New Vet Benefits Rise to Match Living Costs
President Nixon signed three veterans measures retroactive to May 1. Compensation for 2.2 million disabled veterans and dependents of those who died will rise 15 to 18 percent, with 10 to 50 percent rated veterans gaining 15 percent and 60 to 100 percent and anatomical loss awards receiving 18 percent. A stopgap bill shields 250,000 students from losing education benefits while in summer school and a new VA program will place veterans in colleges nationwide to improve benefit check delivery.

Farm Prices Show 4% Decline
Lower prices for cattle and hogs pulled the farm price index down 4 percent for the period ended May 15, according to the Agriculture Department. The report also notes a possible uptick in retail food prices in May after a drop in April, suggesting lower farm prices may not be fully passed to consumers. As of May 15, farm families paid about 2 percent more for groceries than on April 15, while the food price estimate remains less reliable than separate government data.
