Thursday were unaware of a

The money in the possession
of two Delta Airlines officials
represented the record ransom
obtained by eight skyjackers
who commandeered a Delta
aircraft July 31 from Detroit to
Algiers.

the Delta executives in Paris
after detaining the hijackers.
The Delta officials—Shelby
Demant, vice president for
marketing, and security officer
Eugene H. Stewart—said jo
kingly they “thought about”
spending the fortune in Paris
“but we wanted to get back to
Atlanta (Delta headquarters)
and not to the federal prison in
Atlanta.”
The passengers aboard the
jet which carried the Delta
couriers and their money were
subjected to extensive searches
in Rome, where the flight
Dement, vice president for marketing administration, hold a
press conference with the bags in foreground. The money
was removed from the bags prior to the press conference.

originated, and Paris, a stop
over point without learning
about the money.
“Nokidding,” exclaimed Pete
Avery, 22, an Arizona State
University student from Phoe
nix. “I wondered why the guy
was there with the shotgun and
everything. Fabulous!”
Two other passengers were
Frances (Cissy) Farenthold, an
unsuccessful Democratic candi
date for governor of Texas, and
her 18 year-old daughter,
Emily.
Mrs. Farenthold, who was
runner-up in balloting for the
vice presidential nomination at
the Democratic National Con
vention, said she had “no idea
what was going on. I was deep
in a book, but I never had such
a thorough search in my life ...
They took us into little cubicles
about the size of telephone
booths and frisked us.”
Capt. Carl Dowling, pilot of
the jetliner, reported that
“everything was very quiet”
during the transatlantic flight.
“It was very uneventful. The
whole flight was normal.”
Demant and Stewart were
joined by FBI agents at Dulles
to count the money, which
Stewart said was “still in its
original wrappers.”
Stewart said the Algerians
declined to tell them what
happened to the hijackers. He
said the Algerians were ex
tremely courteous, but “politely
evasive” when questioned about
the fate of the group.
Youth says
he was one
of robbers
NEW YORK (UPI)-A frail,
unemployed youth, with an
alleged mental history including
a suicide attempt, walked into
FBI headquarters in Manhattan
Thursday and said he was the
third member of a holdup team
that tried to rob a Brooklyn
bank and hijack a plane
Tuesday.
The suspect, Robert A.
Westernberg, 21, of Manhattan,
was arrested and later ar
raigned on charges that he
helped plan the holdup of a
Chase Manhattan Bank branch
in Brooklyn.
Eight persons were held
hostage for more than 15 hours
during the holdup before one of
the armed robbers, 18-year-old
Donald Matterson, was shot to
death by an FBI agent and the
other, John Wojtowicz, 29,
captured as they tried to hijack
a jet at Kennedy Airport and
escape with $29,000 in bank
money.

Education
Modern eggheads
are not brighter
By PATRICIA McCORMACK
NEW YORK (UPl)—Are
contemporary eggheads bright
er than those of yesteryear?
On the surface, it would seem
so. An epidemic of really
excellent grades is sweeping
the colleges- So much so, in
fact, that Phi Beta Kappa on
many academic trails is
considering more than sterling
grades when weighing candi
dates for membership.
That honorary organization,
founded in 1776, never has
faced such a situation. Until
now, so few were top 10 that
the Phi Beta Kappa chapter on
campus never had to worry
about having a gang of
members instead of a select
few.
Carl Billman, secretary of the
United Chapters of Phi Beta
Kappa discussed the dilemma
in an interview. He nixes the
idea that America is producing
a bumper crop of highly
exceptional students.’’Excellent
students with exceptional abili
ty are not run of the mill,” he
said. “There are only enough to
be in a very small minority in
every generation.”
Permissive Grades
But what about the growing
numbers running up records of
nearly straight A’s or A-minus?
Billman suggested that the
evaluations by teachers aren’t
what they used to be in many
places.
He said a minority of
teachers, in fact perhaps a few
in every college or university,
“are determined to destroy the
grading method” by giving A’s
to everyone. According to
Billman such faculty members
want to usher in the era of “no
distinction among people.” The
pass-fail system, to some
extent, works toward the same
goal. There is no good, better,
best.
Billman, a graduate of
Harvard and secretary of Phi
Beta Kappa since 1946, ex
plained that on campuses where
there are large numbers of
students with Phi Beta Kappa
standard grades, extra evalua
tion procedures are added to
the selection process.
These consist of interviews
with faculty members and
consideration of character and
other factors. Given two
students with the same excel
lent grades, comments from
faculty may swing the selection
toward one and away from the
other.
The honorary society for the
scholastically elite on many
campuses faces a problem
similar to that occurring at
Dickinson College in Carlisle,
Pa. A recent listing of students
selected for outstanding acade
mic achievements reached an
unprecedented 25 per cent of
the student body.
The Dickinson Dilemma
The Phi Beta Kappa selection
process at Dickinson begins
with students who have earned
a 3.5 grade average (the top is
4.0). A 3.5 once assured
membership in the Phi Beta
Kappa, according to Prof.
Frederick Ferre, president of
the Dickinson unit. But today a
3.5 doesn’t guarantee anything
regarding selection, Ferre said.
When the dust had settled at
Dickinson, 40 members were
selected. Taken into considera
tion with high scholarship were
such things as “liberal culture
and good character.” These
have been options required by
Phi Beta Kappa by-laws all
along, anyway.
An analysis of grade trends
at Dickinson showed what’s
happening there—and probably
at other colleges. The grade of
C was given with half the
frequency of the grade of B.
And the grade of A was
assigned more frequently than
was the grade of C.
“... It is clear that if this
trend continues it is now or
soon will be impossible to
recognize outstanding work on
the basis of grade averages,”
the Dickinson chapter reported.
