Bennett savs state well off; Stein criticizes Carter
By BRIAN SETTLE
Staff Writer
Except for agriculture, the state economy is healthy. Gov. Robert F. Bennett told a session of the Texas Legislature.
"We have experienced growth and we can predict continued growth in the future," said Mr. Mayer, co-founder of Economic Outlook of Kansas Conference held in Woodruff Auditorium at the Kansas State University.
"We need to improve the agricultural sectors by designing a number of programs to make the agricultural export market more diverse."
BENNETT TOLD the businessmen he was disappointed in President Jimmy Carter's agricultural policies and would meet with the president Tuesday.
"I will for the third time join with other agricultural governors and go back to Disneyland East, back to Washington, back to the White House, to strongly urge that the president acknowledge the problems we're having in agriculture today," Bennett said.
Library funds, graduate waiver lobbying topics
Interest in a campaign to influence legislators to support state funding of Watson Library, women's athletics and a graduate teaching assistant fee waiver drew about 40 students to the Kansas Union last night.
The rally, in the Big Eight Room, was sponsored by the Student Senate and Con-
Speakers discussed items that will be considered in the current legislative
Mike Glover, D-Lawrence, encouraged students to write to their legislators and gave them advice on the form and content of letters.
However, despite citing agricultural problems, Bennett painted a rosy economic picture for Kansas this year, listing several indicators of a healthy economy.
HE SAID 25,000 jobs had been created, a number of businesses had developed and many current businesses had expanded their operations. Personal income had increased 10.1 percent, the state's gross product—the dollar value of all goods and services—had also risen 10.1 percent and the employment rate had declined to 3.8 percent.
CONTINUED GROWTH in business and industry, coupled with an increase in farm prices, will make a much improved economic report this year. he said.
Bennett said the reorganization of the departments of Transportation, Human Resources, and Economic Development from the old Highway Commission and the departments of Labor and Economic Development to such as the development of the state's economy.
Hertbert Stein, former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers for Presidents Nixon and Ford, was the guest speaker for the afternoon conference session.
STEIN CRITICIZED President Carter, comparing the president's recent budget messages to an unprepared student taking a tough examination.
Stein warned that Carter's view that the U.S. economy needed his proposed $25 billion tax cut package as a stimulus, while continuing to encourage voluntary restraints on wages and prices, could encourage inflation.
"If he writes long enough and furiously enough he might hit the right answer," Stein
Stein, professor of economics at the University of Virginia, said that despite Carter's assurances that his call for voluntary restraints on wages and prices was not the first step toward mandatory labor measures, measure usually created unfavorable results.
"WE MAY BE drawing a scenario for 1979
"The big danger in making what seems to be 'the mild gesture toward some restraint on
prices and wages is that it can create expectations that something will happen," he
in which we would go into even higher inflation and press controls "Stein said.

said yesterday that he was pleased with the
work of the program.
"I think the general feeling is that the economic picture looks favorable," Shankel said. "There's a good mixture of agriculture and industry."
problems could be helped by an increase in farm prices, especially wheat and corn.
"The way to do this is to increase the amount of U.S. sales to countries like Russia."
Shankel said he thought the agricultural
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes was expected to be the opening speaker of the conference. However, Dykes was stranded at Chicago's O'Hare Airport and didn't return to Lawrence until Friday evening. Dykes had been attending a meeting in Chicago.
Singer's talent compromised by trite lyrics
By JERRY JONES
The semester's first on-campus concert, an informal affair held Saturday night in the Kansas Union Ballroom, was largely antiquated and trite.
As might be expected in a concert sponsored by and for Campus Christians, the theme of the evening was Christian love and brotherhood. Unfortunately, the lyrical strength of the songs failed to match the strength of the theme.
Reviewer
John Michael Talbot, a folk singer from Indianapolis, sang for a crowd of about 300 in the Kansas Union Ballroom. He was the main stage dancer by a local duo, Flicker and Cleermonts.
Sunken freighter's crew safe
VERA CRUZ, Mexico (AP) — The captain and 25-man crew of a freighter that blew up and sank in the Gulf of Mexico have arrived in Mexico safely, a spokesman for the ship's owners said yesterday.
The 490-foot, Liberian-registered Eva Maria, carrying three tons of detonating caps, sank Wednesday 300 miles north of Miami. The bodies of those there had been an explosion in the hold.
The crew of seven Germans and 19 Filipinos reached an American oil rig in two lifeboats lashed together after being tossed in chonny seas for three days.
"They are all safe and well and are giving a report to the port authorities."
FO weekend work to end after union, KU sign settlement
Facilities Operations workers reached an agreement Friday with the University of Kansas concerning weekend working schedules.
Starting Feb. 11, electricians, plumbers,
refrigeration workers and steamfitters will
be required in the building.
Kenneth Brouhard, business agent of the union local that represents the workers, said KU had agreed in writing the weekend of September 14 to welcome FO weekend JO employees would have to work.
The union said the University had agreed that weekend inspection duty and repair work by the FO workers would be eliminated after Jan.1.
Earlier in the month Local 1422 of the Public Service Employees union, which represents about 450 FO employees, filed a complaint charging that the University had not eliminated weekend duty after Jan. 1. As a result, the union year-end agreement with the union was reached.
Searchers held little hope for the crew after traces of the vessel were found. Because the SOS said the explosion was in the first hold, it was feared that it had triggered the detonators in the second hold. The ship apart with the crew still on board.
Capt. Peter Lamaa said after reaching the oil rig 280 miles east of the Mexican coast that the vessel sank about 30 miles from an orderly but harsh evacuation.

Talbot obviously has too much talent and too important a message to convey to the company. He is very hard working.
Talbot was a much more polished performer. His handling of the acoustic guitar and his playing sense were top-notch.

FIELDER AND CLEMMONS sang in a manner roughly reminiscent of the harmony style of Seals and Crofts. They accounted for the use of acoustic electric guitar. The guitar
Although musically competent, the duo lacked stage polish. They failed to introduce themselves and then abruptly bolted from the stage after performing just four songs.
