Wholesale price index drops
WASHINGTON - Signaling new relief from inflation, the Department of Labor said Thursday that wholesale prices fell eight-tenths of one per cent in February. It marked the third straight month of decline for the index
The drop was led by prices of farm products, which were down 4.8 per cent for the month and 15.1 per cent for the past year.
cent for the milk market. Analysts predict the steady decline in wholesale food markets should show up soon in lower prices at the supermarket.
prices should show up soon in lower prices at the supermarket. The over-all decline in the wholesale price index provides added evidence that inflationary pressures in the economy, which pushed the cost of living up 12.2 per cent in 1974, have easely considered.
Labor secretary confirmed
WASHINGTON—John T. Dunlop, professor of economics at Harvard University, labigator and former director of the Cost of Living Council, was confirmed Thursday by the Senate to be secretary of labor. Dunlop, 60, succeeds Peter J. Brennan, a New York building trade union leader, who resigned. Dunlop's confirmation came without objection.
Increased exemption rejected
TOPEKA—A move by Senate Democrats to increase the state personal income tax exemption was voted down Thursday in Senate committee by a 6-4 vote.
The bill, sponsored by most Democrats in the Kansas Senate, would have had the effect of reducing individual income taxes.
The proposal was to increase the personal income tax exemption from
the present, $600 to $750.
Democrats have contended that the economic uncertainty demands such a tax cut so that consumers will have more money to spend. The bill would also have put the state in compliance with the federal exemption of $750.
Juco transfer plan okayed
TOPEKA- The Kansas Board of Education has approved an agreement making it easier for graduates of the state's community junior colleges to transfer to the state's four-year colleges and universities.
The Kansas Board of Regents approved the agreement two weeks ago, and the Board of Education gave its endorsement this week, putting it
The agreement provides that students completing an associate degree at a state and regionally accredited Kansas public community junior college can transfer to one of the six state colleges as first-semester juniors.
Emergency military aid necessary, Ford warns
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Gerald R. Ford warned Thursday night that Congress must vote emergency military aid for the Iraq war, saying the current military offensive.
In a nationally televised and broadcast news conference, Ford hinted for the first time that he was willing to see Lon Nol step aside as Cambodia's president in order to spur negotiations and end what he called "an unbelievable horror story."
If we don't give the aid, Ford said, there will be Cambodia will fall under Communist control.
The news conference was 21-minutes-old before questioning turned to the economy.
Ford said he would prefer tax reductions to increased spending if it appeared a greater stimulant was needed to pull the nation out of a recession.
He again defended his economic program, saying it was moving in the right direction, but complained that Congress was moving too slowly.
"What we need is press," he said, again urging faster action on tax-cut legislation.
The questioning turned again and again to Cambodia. When asked whether he would ask Lon Nol to resign to help negotiate a settlement, Ford replied that he didn't think it proper to ask of the head of another state.
Director defends high health fees
Students at the University of Kansas pay more for their health services a semester than students at the other Big Eight universities but they get more for their money, according to Martin Wollmann, director of health services.
Wolmanm says that Watkins offers more pressure-protect services on a continuum basis. The company is expanding its operations.
Watkins is a student cooperative subsidized by student funds, Mark Holland, chairman of the Student Health Services Committee, said. This year, $38.50 of a student's activity fee each semester went to health services, he said.
ON A SEMESTER BASIS, the University of Colorado student paid $34 for health care; University of Nebraska and Kansas State University students paid $23; Iowa State University students paid $10; University of Oklahoma students paid $1; and Oklahoma University students paid $1. Our student's $4.50 fee paid for services. The rest went to a fund for a new building.
"The single biggest difference is that at Watkins the student doesn't pay for laboratory training," Wallmann said. "Most of us are Big Brothers and don't offer this service without charge."
ALTHOUGH THE STUDENT may not use the laboratory services often, Steve Siegrebrecht, chairman of the Student Senate, said that some students should have a student did need them. they were cheaper.
Some students might not get their money's worth from the health services, but the average student does, although he might not realize it, Segebrecht said.
*Everything provided is at a reduced rate*
*and paid from the health service fund.*
*See Seedberg.*
Because of these savings, Watkins is able to provide a veneral disease check for nursing, he said. At Lawrence Memorial Hospital, the check would cost about $40. See berecht said.
ABOUT 75 PER CENT of the services a KU student uses at Watkins are prepaid, Wollmann said. The other 25 per cent are usually covered by insurance policies that over 90 per cent of the students or their parents have, he said.
"There is actually very little the student has to pay out himself," Segbreecht said.
Some of the services that aren't prepaid are laboratory tests that Watkins doesn't have the facilities to handle, prescriptions and emergency care. Segebrecht said.
ALTHOUGH THE UNIVERSITY of Missouri offers a health service program almost as complete as KU's, the student health center at Missouri is funded from a general university fund, William Galeota, director of the center, said.
Wollmann said that KU offered a free immunization program which wasn't of interest to them.
At KU, Wollmann said, the student doesn't pay for his immunizations except in rare cases where the substance needed for the shot can't be stored.
students use Walkins each week day,
they can mean an cent per of these are
bureaualized.
Wollmann said that Watkins had 17 apartments with a doctor present or on call and 30. He reported 42 injuries.
WATKINS' FEATURES include: a comprehensive out-patient clinic, an allergy clinic, an immunization clinic, a 24-hour emergency service, X-ray facilities, an electroencephalograph (EEG), an extensive laboratory, a sanitation department and mental health, physical therapy and food services.
The immunization center is one of the few federally approved yellow fever immunization centers in the area, Wollmann said.
THE SANITATION DEPARTMENT inspects the food services of fraternities, sororites, residence halls and other food establishments in the University several times a year.
Watkins also provides tuberculosis tests throughout the year, Wollmann said.
A psychiatrist, two clinical psychologists and two social workers operate the mental health clinic, he said. Most of the patients in the mental health clinic are out-patients, Wollmann said, but some stay for a short time.
The food service not only provides food for in-patients but also provides food for some out-patients, Wollmann said. People who need special diets that can't get the diets in their living groups come to Watkins to eat, he said.
