BABY FOOD BOOM
NEW YORK (UPI) — Three ages of man—infants, young adults and senior citizens—are keeping sales of glass-packed baby foods booming.
The Glass Container Manufacturers Institute says studies show that in the late 1950's the "average" U.S. infant ate 480 jars of baby food annually, compared with about 570 jars today.
Meanwhile, weddings are on the increase, indicating a continued rise in the baby-food-consuming generation. And many senior citizens find baby foods well suited to their dietary needs.

Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. spoke to the Kansas House Education Committee last Tuesday, which marks the first time the head of a state university has appeared before this committee in the last several years.
At the start of the meeting, committee Chairman John Bower introduced Chalmers to the committee, and turned the informal question and answer session over to him.
The first question asked Chalmers concerned the "attitude on the campus today." Chalmers told the committee things were calmer on the KU campus now, primarily because the Senate Code had eliminated one of the most critical bases for operation of the activist student. Chalmers added the Code involved the student in "a wholly appropriate way" and there was no longer any reason to be involved in any irregular fashion.
Chalmers then said that the students were becoming aware of the problem of pollution, and he saw this as the new thrusts for the spring.
Chalmers was asked if the student body might be asked to make some contribution, or make an assessment towards the cost in building the long-delayed humanities building. He said this question would be considered by the executive council of the Student Senate or the student body itself.
A black member of the committee asked Chalmers whether there was a black studies program at the university and what the student reaction was to the program. Chalmers said that there was no formal black studies program at present, but he could see the possibility of a major in this field in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Chalmers said the high enrollment in the black studies classes showed an endorsement by the student body in the program.
Chalmers several questions concerning the growth of the university, and what the university was doing to compensate for the spiraling enrollment. Chalmers said he asked the Board of Regents for permission to construct four temporary buildings on the campus, that would each have two classrooms.
The committee then asked
Chalmers then commented on the pay scales for faculty at the
University. He said that at KU the salaries were low compared with those offered at other major state universities. Consequently, KU has become a good school for other universities to recruit accomplished faculty.
The session was an informational meeting only,but the committee will be considering bills in the future that may have a direct impact on the University.
