2 Fridav. November 2. 1973 University Daily Kansan Computer Digests Grocery Prices Beginning this week, an analysis of the food prices found in the Consumer Protection Association's weekly survey is being done by computer. This makes possible the use of a new market basket index, which is based on consumption factors published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. In the market basket index, each item's price is weighted according to the proportion of the average consumer's income that is normally spent on that type of item. Items which account for five per cent of the average consumer's grocery expenditures will account for five per cent of the market basket index. Another new feature of the survey is the publication of an average price for each item as an indication of which stores have the lowest prices, and prices below the average for any given item. The weekly survey now includes 57 items. Several items have been changed to eliminate the ones that are not carried by all 10 stores. Tone stove dropped 20 cents a pound at AAP and 40 to 50 cents at both Kroger's store. Cut-up frying chicken decreased 10 and 11 cents a pound at the Kroger's stores. Only about half of the items are published each week in order to prevent stores from knowing all the items on the survey. The data set index, however, is based on 81 57 items. Head lettuce increased 10 cents a pound, or 34 per cent, at Rusty's Hillcrest and North Lawrence stores, but decreased 10 cents at Falley's.

Dykes Hopes Dinners Helped Funding Bid Chancellor Archie R. Dykes said yesterday he was hopeful that recent area legislative dimmers sponsored by the Kansas Board of Regents would have a positive effect on the passage of the Regents' budget proposal for next year. The Regents are requesting a 10 per cent increase in faculty salaries and a 10 per cent increase in operating funds for the University of Kansas. Dykes said in a news conference that the budget would go before James Bibb, state budget director, Nov. 19 or 20, before being approved in January for final approval. The area legislative dinners program consisted of a series of dinners during the last two months throughout the state. Every member of the state legislature was invited to attend. At the dinners, the Regents presented their proposals for next year's budget, and they were asked questions. Dykes said between 50 and 60 percent of the legislators attended the dinners. Dykes said, "There were many good questions from legislators, and opportunities were provided for members of the legislature to make their presentation to the legislators." Dykes said the meetings also provided a good opportunity for him and the presidents of the other five state supported universities to respond to answer questions about the proposed budget. "I thought as we traveled around the state for all the legislative meetings that we received a very sympathetic hearing from the various groups." Dokes said. The request for increases in faculty salaries and operating funds was emphasized in the presentation to the jujuators. Dykes said, The computer also provides a list of price changes over the previous week. Significant differences are often observed.
