...York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller, intent on establishing an independent Republican identity in his try for the presidency, seems to assume as much. Said he in a recent speech: "Our people are looking for a sense of direction and purpose." In agreement is Chicago Industrialist Charles Percy (Bell & Howell cameras), who last month led a committee that set G.O.P. goals.

There is general agreement, according to Dunlop, that the undergraduate program as part of a liberal arts program should not be a pre-professional training.

Preliminary wage sparring has already gone on. The unions pressed for a 36?-an-hour boost, and the industry has counterproposed a 15? wage slash. Despite the wide gulf in wage proposals, however, the big fight will still be over union featherbedding.
