Recession predicted
From the Associated Press
The nation is headed toward a recession, and the Ford Administration might as well admit it, an administrative economic adviser said.
The adviser, Paul W. McCracken, in an interview that the country was probably in an early stage of a sharp, brief recession that might be over by mid-1975. Unemployment could approach seven per cent next year, he said, and economic production could decline four per
The chairman of Chrysler Corp., Lynn A. Townsend, called on President Gerald R. Ford to work toward an easing of credit. Townsend encouraged consumers to spend rather than save their money in order to ease economic problems.
Oil conservation
From the Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The Ford administration's still-secret "Project Independence" energy study reportedly makes no specific recommendations but strongly supports mandatory fuel saving measures and increased U.S. oil production.
The study suggests that mandatory conservation measures might include a high volume knowledge standard for lights and lighting and insulation for buildings for heat.

On a day marked by several heated exchanges among prosecution and defense lawyers, Siricat told the jurors it was up to them to decide whether he could be acquitted.
A controversial proposal by the State Board of Regents to add student fee waivers to the budgets of all state schools was held at the University Council meeting.

Regents consider fee waivers
The regents unilaterally requested $190,000 for the University of Kansas and $50,000 for the Wichita State University and $58,000 for the other three state colleges for the waiving of tuition and fees at these institutions. Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor.
In this request, Shankel said, the regents stipulated that not more than 75 per cent of the population would be covered.
"This is clearly an attempt by the board
to help out those schools whose athletic programs are in trouble," Shankel said. "This would be interesting, because it would be the first time the regents and the legislature ever authorized the waiving of fees, if it's passed."
The state schools have been requesting for some time that they be allowed to waive fees for teaching assistants and other student help on campus. Now this isn't possible because the practice is prohibited by law.
John Beisser, student body president,
said at the meeting that he and other
student body presidents had met with the
last week and discussed the proposal.
Shankel also discussed the Statement on Goals and Objectives which has been developed for a three-year period beginning fiscal year 1976. The report makes recommendations concerning policy directives and budgetary aims.
Among top priority planning items are flexibility in staffing, affirmative action considerations and the outreach program, Shankel said.
"From what the regents indicated, the 25 per cent nonathletic stipulation was added
The report also recommends special projects that have been sent before the regents for approval in the 1976 budget. Of these, six with a total cost of $2,228,000 were sent. These were then sent to James Bibb, state budget director, who will consult with the
$1,890,000 request for the development and support of computer use at KU. Shankel said he supported the proposal in 1970 ruling said the state would pay for constructural and administrative use of computers, and also pay for one-half of research costs. Shankel said the University contributed the proposal by asking for no research funds.
just so it would have a better chance of passing the legislature," he said. "They also said this was a special case, and not for expansion to other programs."
governor and make final recommendations to the legislature.
Other requests approved by the regents were: $150,000 for journals and library funds, $100,000 for the maintenance of scientific teaching equipment, $30,000 for minority advancement programs, $28,000 for career counseling services and $30,000 for women's intercollegiate athletics.

This would greatly simplify international trade, he said.
The U.N. is planning a system of intermodal transportation, Woodbury said. If such a system was adopted, goods could be sent from Kansas to California by rail, then to Tokyo by air or sea, with only one bill of lading and one insurance policy.

Popular art once thought scandalous
French artist, Henride Toulouse-Lautre, who was considered one of the most scandalous artists of his time, has gained much recognition for his work. Berger, professor emeritus of art history.
Berger gave a one hour slide show in Paris, where he how Japanese art had unfaded French.
During Toulouse-Lautreac's time his work
went to show us how to show olginess,
valigency and messiness.
Berger spoke last night on "Toulouse-Lautrec: People, Posters and Japanese Prints" to about 190 people in Dyche Auditorium.
Berger talked about the style of Toulouse-Lautrec and the life of the artist. He said Toulouse-Lautrec wanted to be famous and unknown but instead he was famous and known. In the past 10 years many books were written about him and his posters have gained in popularity.
After Toulouse-Lautrec's death, his mother tried to give some of his works to a museum, Berger said, but the museum wouldn't take the works because Toulouse-Lautrec had never said that recently "Lautrec's art has been liberated from the immoral prison."
The style of Toulouse-Lautrec was explained in detail and compared to some Japanese works. Berger stressed Toulouse-Lautrec's use of form and imagination.
Teachers
Berger said Toulouse-Lautrez's works showed things that other artists of his time didn't portray. He showed prostitutes as musicians and actors, the singers, singers and actors behind the scenes.
A reception was held after the speech in the Watkins Room in the Kansas Union.
