From the Associated Press

Higher food prices in '75
From the Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The public can expect tighter food budgets during the first six months of 1975 as food prices climb to new highs, an Agriculture Department staff economist forecast yesterday. J. Dawson Ahalt, the economist, predicted food prices would continue rise at an annual rate of 15 per cent, and could go higher if bad weather reduced next year's harvest. An extraordinarily good harvest, he told a reporter, could pull the overall 1975 average price rise down to about 10 per cent. Retail food prices, jumped about 14.5 per cent from 1972 to 1973 as grain reserves dwindled, are rising this year at a rate about 15 per cent higher than a year ago.

The prospect of being able to choose from at least two solid job offers upon graduation from college may sound like a pipe dream, but that's exactly what the director of the Work Force 75 program says some will be able to do this year.

Work Force finds students jobs
Pete Kanatzar, the director, said yesterday that the program had received replies from more than 800 companies, about 500 of which had made solid job offers to students in the Work Force 75 program. In addition, many of the job offers, making a total of more than 2,000 positions available for those who graduate this year, he said.
The two lists were matched up by job and geographical location preferences through the use of a computer, he said. He worked on job sites his week, including a student who entered the program. All that
"We sent out mailings to students"
Kanatzar said, "and found exactly what they were majoring in, their addresses, their geographical preferences and so on. We also sent out cards to businesses asking you reply with what job openings they have."
Work Force '75 concentrated its efforts in the 12-state Midwest region, especially in Kansas, Missouri and Illinois, Kanatzar said.
remains for the student to do, Kanazar said, is to follow up and apply for the job.
The fields in which most job opportunities exist now, according to Kanatzar, are accounting, business, engineering and journalism. The program has had the most difficulty placing students from liberal arts, he said.
Work Force 75 officially got underway last June through funding provided by the Student Senate. The program was a spinoff of Work Force 65, a senior class of 1974 to find job opportunities only in Kansas. A limitation in funding, according to Katanzar, was the reason for the narrow scope of the original program. Work Force 75 looks bright, however.
Kanatazir he expected a fulltime placement director to be appointed soon by the administration, to take over the funding and administration of the job placement program. Kansas seniors have been at a disadvantage because there was no central placement
The ballroom will be decorated with the traditional Christmas tree.
Ladies in delicate gowns, men smartly groomed in evening wear, a ballroom decked in greenery, a symphony and a chamber choir create an atmosphere of several decades ago.
Several of the dresses to be worn to the ball were worn by mothers, aunts and possibly even grandmothers on similar occasions.
The Pearson Humanities Program is recreating this aura tomorrow night in the Kansas Union Ballroom with a Christmas ball. The ball, featuring the Lawrence University at 8 pm, will be followed by a midnight champagne dinner at a local restaurant.
It is almost a necessity to find an old gown to wear, said one woman in the Pearson program. Modern dresses, she said, aren't full enough for ballroom dancing.

Ball revives bygone days
The fact that many small businesses can't afford to come to KU to recruit is another reason why the student should be he said, as well as the reason for the success of Work Force '75. One of the program's main goals, he said, is to put the small business and the student in touch with each other.

The Christmas ball is a smaller version of this year's spring ball, which was also sponsored by Pearson Humanities. The spring ball was so successful that some of the student deadline have given it a Christma-like name and the parents of the Pearson students aren't invited to the Christmas ball as they were to the spring ball, however.
