The Senator identified the Democratic party line as “not to talk about the present inilation, but about the ‘danger of inflation} ” However, he continued, it is not the case of the danger of infla- tion, but rather the case of worse in- ilation," Explaining the Republican stand, Miller declared, “We think it is the most nniair way to take purchasing power away from people.” Explaining this inflationary trend, Mile ler said, “wage increases and price in- creases are merely the symptoms of in- flation. Put the responSibility where it belongs It is the multi-billion-dollar de< ficlt Spending by the Democratically controlled Congress which lowers the purchasing power of the dollar."

The tutoring program, existing mosily this second semester, consisted of 18 volunteers who worked with high school Students having difficulty in such sub- jects as biology, English, French, and math. The tutor usually met with the student once or twice a Week at a time convenient to both, such as during the student's study hall or at night in the college library. The tutoring program is one phase or REACH, which was initiated in the [all by Jeanne Cook and some iaculty ad- visors. Miss Cook had just returned from a summer in Chicago working for a REACH program there, and she saw the need tor such a program in Grin- nell, perhaps headed by a hill-time recreation director. Much of REACH is concerned with the political structure in the town. Hopefully, much more than the tutoring program can be initiated and continued nextyear.
