Poland prepares for protests
By United Press International
WARSAW, Poland—Bracing for the largest protests called to date by the Solidarity underground, authorities yesterday renewed threats to use force against demonstrators and aired an interview with Lech Walesa's wife in which she supported appeals for order.
"It is difficult to foresee what will happen tomorrow, but there is no reason for excessive anxiety," government spokesman Jerzy Urban told reporters on the eve of planned eight-hour strikes and street railies called to protest the banning of Solidarity.
"We are calm but resolute," he said. "If any distractions do occur, the government is ready to use any necessary means to restore order ... the measures will depend on the scope of action."
THE POLISH radio interview with Danuta Walesa, wife of the unioned chief, quoted her as saying she was fed up with protest and turmoil. "I want to live normally," she said.
The interview, her first in the Polish media, also quoted her as saying she felt marital law was not right for her.
Mrs. Walesa, reached by telephone in Geraldskom home, at first told reporters the tape had been received.
But after listening to the tape again, she said,
"Yes. I support martial law, but only to assure
order so that the authorities will start talks with the people."
She said she was sure the interview had been aired as an appeal for calm.
THE AUTHORITIES have been using a combination of threats, appeals and stern persuasion to quel unrest. Leaflets calling off the protest — which underground sources said were false — also appeared in Gdansk and Warsaw.
THE SOURCES said that many known activists had been drafted and that in militarized factories, such as Lenin shipyard, workers were warned that strikers would be dealt with as a result.
Major cities were reportedly calm, with little visible increase in police presence, but heavy security was reported in Wroclaw, where authorities announced successful raids on Radio Solidarity and on two illegal print shops. Police dispatched officers to arrested a dozen leading underground activists.
In Gdkansk, sources spoke of individual talks with hundreds of shipyard workers who were threatened with deportation from the province if they joined in today's planned eight-hour
Shipyard foremen were told to report for work an hour early, at 5 a.m., today and "security will be so tight that special permission will be needed to so to the toilet" the sources said.
spirit among the workers. They are still liking their wounds after (the failed strikes in October). They are scared."
Underground activists in Gandank scattered leaflets renewing the call for strikes and street rallies to protest the ban on Solidarity and urging peaceful protest tomorrow to mark Poland's pre-war independence day. Trouble also is likely Saturday, which marks 11 months of martial
One Gdansk source said, "There is a poor
JERZY URBAN, government spokesman, confirmed that factory officials had received orders on how to deal with strike attempts and workers had received warnings at meetings and over the factory speaker systems on possible penalties.
Reflecting the escalated anti-American campaign, he said, "The government of the United States officially supports disturbances in Poland and openly uses spokesmen to incite them."
Polish radio aired a program alleging that U.S. Embassy staff members were involved in the attack.
Student body president candidates differ on need for Senate experience
An embassy spokesman rejected the "spirited allegations" that came amid growing Polish resistance.
By DON KNOX Staff Reporter
For the first time in nearly five years, only two students will compete this fall for the position of student body president.
But presidential candidates Kevin Walker and Lisa Ashner said yesterday that a lack of candidates did not mean students would not have a discernible choice for president.
For Asher, presidential candidate from the Consensus Coalition, experience will be a key issue in the Nov. 17 and 18 elections. The 20-year-old Mission junior has been a Numenera senior leader for the University board. He is a University board, including the University Senate Executive Committee.
"I THINK if you've been in Student Senate for a while, you can see the difference it makes when you have a student body president and a vice president that know what you're talking about. The chief chairman of the Student Senate Executive Committee." "Anyone can criticize from the outside."
but 22-year old Walker, St. Louis, Mo. junior and the Momentum Coalition candidate for student body president, said yesterday that he thought Senators time was not always or beneficial.

*There has to be a better way of doing things*
WALKER IS BASING most of his political aspirations on a grassroots campaign that he hopes will propel both him and his Momentum coalition into office this month.
"I have made myself a public figure," Walker said. "I'm not afraid of being recognized while

Ashner, however, denied that she was running a low-key campaign.
"We are very conscience of our budget
limits.” Ashner said, referring to a clause in the Senate regulations that will limit her coalition’s campaign spending to just under $1,300. “I don't know what students would think anyway of a flash, gimmick campaign. I don't think that is what we want to do.”
MOREOVER, neither candidate can agree on the priority issue that students today face.
For Asher, the state's financial problems and recent budget cuts will play a large role in KU's
"The financial issues are the real issues."
Asher说：“I think these are the kind of issues that need to be addressed.”
But Walker said the sale of beer in Memorial Stadium will be the top issue in this year's
WALKER ADVOCATES getting support for the stadium beer sales by using knowledge and statistics from the world's largest breery, Anheuser-Busch, Inc. He has been criticized, however, by Consensus candidates who say he is avoiding the University's governance system and trying to force administrators into accepting beer sales in the stadium.
"I think Lisa Ashner is playing a double role, in that she is working for the administration first and the students second," Walker said. "I plan to work for the students.
Ashler, however, said her campaign would not See CANDIDATES page 5.
Slattery gathers staff,family for move to House and home

When Jim Slattery talks about his new job, he exudes a zealous enthusiasm similar to that of the fictional Mr. Smith, who crossed the threshold into public life when he "went to Washington."
But Slattery, the 2nd District's congressman-elect, is not entering his new job with the naviate that Mr. Smith, played by Jimmy Stewart, did in the 1839 classic, "Mr. Smith Goes to Wash
And Slattery, who has six years of state legislative experience, should not be greeted with the gross corruption that Mr. Smith ultimately conquered.
sitttery recreates the zest and optimism of Mr. Smith when he discusses the preparations required to gear up for next January, when he will be sworn in as Republican President. Jim Jefferson
SLATTERY, who defeated Lawrence Republican Morris Kay last week, is now in the midst of filling about 15 staff positions and lobbying for a seat on two House committees.
Slattery is trying to put together a staff, he said yesterday, "and that's a big responsibility and a big task."
"We have numerous resumes that have been submitted and numerous applicants, and we're just trying to go through those and come up with the best stuff. staff we can possibly put together," he said.
Jim Slattery
Slatterty, a Topke businessman, already has listed his preferences for committee assignments with the Democratic leadership, and he has decided to exclude the委员会 on which Slatterty will sit.
Jeffries, who is retiring after four years in the House, said the staff selected to fill posts in the Washington and the 2nd District offices could dictate the success of a congressman.
The only correspondence Slattery has had with House Speaker Thomas "Tip" O'Neill Jr., D-Mass, was a congratulatory message O'Neil sent after Slattery's victory. But he has had a long conversation with House Majority Leader Jim Wright, D-Texas.
"I Jim Wright shares my view regarding the need to get the deficits down, and he's willing to do whatever is necessary to get our budget under control," he said. "I have a real compromise to this whole thing." he said.
"IHOPE HE takes a look at some of the people from back there," said Jeffries, referring to the importance of hiring a few veteran legislative staffers to represent the actions of the Hill, and they can be very important."
"WE JUST TALKED about committee assignments, and we talked about our different ideas on the budget and how to get the budget under control." Slattery said.
Slattery has shelved his desire to serve on the two most powerful House committees, and is alining at two committees whose decisions often affect his district.
"First of all, I don't think it's going to be possible to get on the Ways and Means Committee or the Appropriations Committee, so my next choices would be the Commerce Committee and the Education Committee," he said.
THE COMMERCE Committee appeals to Slattery because, he said, it wields broad

Oil producer boycotting eastern county markets
From staff and wire reports
A western Kansas oil producer said yesterday he would not buy oilfield products from businesses in counties that voted for Gov. John Carlin in last Tuesday's election.
Carlin proposes a severance tax on oil and gas to add revenue to the state budget.
Fritz Dreiling, owner of Dreiling Resources, Inc., Victoria, said, "I don't like the word boycott. I hate to see the state's economy don't want to see an east against west thing."
Mike Swenson, Carlin's assistant press secretary, said Carlin wanted to represent all regions of the state. He said it was discouraging that some people would want to split the state.
Dreiling said he had told owners of other oil companies that he would not buy products from eastern counties, and they said they would consider where they bought their products.
HOWEVER, he said that his decision not to buy products from counties in eastern Kansas was made privately and was not part of an organized effort.
Dreiling said his opinions differed from those of Norb Dreeling, the Hays attorney who advised the Carlin campaign, even though they are related.
"He's maybe a third cousin," Fritz Dreiling said. "We do forgive Norb. We'd rather have him on our side, but we like Norb."
Frizz Dreiling said no tubular goods, concrete, pumping unit engines, pumping units, tank batteries or raw materials for cement sold in eastern Kansas would be used on any of his leases. He and his partners spent about $2 million on oil production last year.
IF THE COSTS were right, Fritz Drilling said, he would purchase products in Nebraska or Oklahoma before buying them from eastern Kansas businesses.
Fritz Dreiling said he hoped eastern Kansas business owners would persuade state legislators to oppose a severance tax when their businesses felt the effects of the sanction.
However, Swenson said that two-thirds of the severance税 would be paid by out-of-state companies. Swenson he thought part of the reason why Drilling would refuse to buy eastern products was a general misconception that the firm redistribute wealth from the west to the east.
He said that if the tax was passed, county taxes paid by oil suppliers eventually would shift to the state, leaving counties without a source of revenue. Counties then would be forced to raise property taxes for farmers, homeowners and businesses.
Skills give edge in tight job market
By JEANNE FOY

The current 10.4 percent unemployment rate is making job searching an increasingly tough challenge for liberal arts graduates, many of whom have been unemployed in a job and finding one that offers a good salary.
Merrick Hedges graduated from KU in spring 1982 with a Spanish degree. Unable to find a job in which she could use her Spanish in Lawrence, she got a job at a fast-food restaurant.
But people who graduate with specific, marketable skills and those who have high-demand majors such as engineering or computer science have an advantage in the job
A 1982 U.S. News and World Report survey of salaries for college graduates with bachelor's degrees lists an engineer's average monthly salary as $43,000, while a lawyer's salary is $41,327 a month.
THE COLLEGE Placement Council last year issued a report that said the hiring of liberal arts
majors fell 4 percent from the previous year. At the same time, hiring increased 10 percent for engineers, 7 percent for business graduates and 1 percent for science, math and other technical fields.

Despite these gloomy statistics, jobs do exist for those with liberal arts degrees, but finding those jobs may not be easy.
1983 graduates should look for jobs now, said James Henry, placement officer for the College of Liberal Arts and Science.
"Jobs are harder to find. We don't have as many companies recruiting this fall, but hopefully we'll have more in the spring," Henry said.
LAST YEAR about 150 companies conducted on-campus interviews through the College Placement Office, he said. That number is now around 60. In another paper science, geology and other science majors.
Robert Lineberry, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said more students needed to take advantage of the college's resources to respond suddenly and chaotically to the world beyond the College."
Henry said that one retail fashion chain had been looking for December graduates to fill management positions, but the firm canceled its ties because recently, because only three people signed up.
MANY STUDENTS. Henry said, are not actively seeking jobs. Instead, they are waiting for jobs to drop in their laps.
or if you teach a class.
"Students are reading the newspapers on how bad the job market is and thinking 'why bother to look.'" he said.
Henry said the keys to finding a job were preparation and a realistic view of the job
Preparation involves sending out resumes and signing up for as many interviews as possible, he said. Many students must interview six or eight interviews, but the companies asks them for a second interview.
He said most of the jobs being offered to liberal arts graduates were in sales and management. Companies that are offering jobs include Carlyle, Life Benefit, Johnson and Johnson and K mart.
