Whitehurst Praises Nixon

Second District Congressman William
Whitehurst praised President Nixon's
economic, busing, and Vietnam

behalf of the president's campaign for
reelection.

He cited evidence of success in the
slowing of inflation to "a snail's pace."
Mr. Whitehurst also said Vietnamization
is the only practical war policy.

The Congressman criticized citizens
who demand instant solutions to
problems without consideration of
consequences.

The Young Republicans Club, the
talk's sponsor, also plans a pro-Nixon
rally on the front steps of the Rotunda at
7 p.m. Monday. Rally speakers will be
announced soon.

Economics Study Made

The University and William and Mary
College plan to join together to collect
data on the state's economy. The study
will focus on data collected from local
merchants.

A number of indicators, retail sales,
new car registrations, bank deposits, and
building permits will be used to issue the
school's joint monthly. Virginia Business
Index Report. Previously, merchants had
to report their weekly and monthly sales
figures to both schools.

This analysis will detail economic
activity in the state and in 17 separate
cities or urban areas.

'Term Papers' Stopped

James P. Duffy, a salesman for
Resume Service and Term Papers
Unlimited, Inc., of Norfolk, was enjoined
from selling term papers yesterday by a
Norfolk court.

Representing the Old Dominion
University Board of Visitors, state Atty.
Gen. Andrew P. Miller alleged that since
last October the company has sold term
papers to ODU students.

Mr. Miller also contends that the
company issues a catalogued list of term
papers for the student to submit to
instructors as his own work.

The company has advertised its service
in the ODU newspaper "Mace and
Crown", and on handbills, the suit said.

Prices for term papers ranged from
$2.50 per page for a paper already in the
company's library to $4.50 per page, for
an original. An extra $1 per page was
added for rush jobs, according to Mr.
Miller.

The company maintains a file on each
paper it writes, recording which
professors at a school received it and the
grade given.
