People turn out to see this guy,” said a liberal Democrat whose commitment to Kennedy is not firm. “If he can turn them on and keep them turned on, he’s got a chance. If he flops, he may never be able to catch up.” ob market good for 1980 graduates the manpol icola, headj al bank i t. 4. “It’s jl United Press International LANSING, Mich. — This year’s college graduates should have an easier time finding a job than the class of 1979 — despite an apparent downturn in the economy, a report on hiring trends says. Michigan State University’s John D. Shingleton — director of the nation’s largest university placement office — said Friday he expects a 1 to 2 percent increase in the number of college graduates hired this year. “I don’t think you’ve got the national recession this time as far as employment of college graduates,” he said. He predicted business would not make the mistake it did during the 1974-75 recession by limiting college recruitment. “Most recruiters we’ve talked to now think that was a mistake,” said L. Patrick Scheetz, who co-authored MSU’s ninth annual study of hiring trends. “They find themselves with a ‘bubble’ in the pipeline of middle management people, ones they should have hired back then.” Only graduates seeking employment in the auto industry will be faced with a “soft spot,” Shingleton said, noting that recruiters from Ford Motor Co. and the financially ailing Chrysler Corp. have can celed their fall visits to major campuses. Declining auto industry recruitment has been counter-balanced with increased hiring by firms manufacturing parts to keep older vehicles running, he said. Graduates with aerospace, electronics, merchandising and pet roleum engineering backgrounds will find eager employers and women and minorities skilled in technical fields “can write their own tickets,” Shingleton said.

The organization’s humming away,” said a leading liberal activist. “But some of the veneer’s been tom off. He’s been out there and made a few gaffes and it could create problems all the way around.” In short, Kennedy is considered able to give Carter a good fight, but there is no clear indication who will win. Chappaquiddick, Kennedy’s com ments abot the shah of Iran, and dif ficulties in his personal life all are seen as troubling potential followers. Kennedy himself appears to be making a strong effort to win over the doubters. He has made three trips into Iowa since announcing his can didacy. The latest was a three-day swing that ended Saturday with a cross-state blitz intended to tap la tent support among liberals, union members and old-line party work horses loyal to the Kennedy name. Some 3,000 people turned out for a West Des Moines rally, many of them curiosity seekers drawn by the Kennedy mystique. But the cam paign got what it wanted: 2,000 names from an intensive telephone canvass preceding the event. Kennedy is just now beginning to identify potential supporters and assessing areas of support — some thing Carter has been doing since April. Coordinators have been recruited in most of Iowa’s 99 counties, but one staffer said the campaign may not bother in rural counties, where voter turnout in the caucuses is light and Carter is strong. United Press International LOS ANGELES — The Ira nian Students Association, calling the seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran a mistake, has proc laimed its opposition to the re gime of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. The announcement at a Friday news conference by the organiza tion, which stormed the estate of the shah of Iran’s sister in Beverly Hills, Calif., a year ago, was the first public display of a rift be tween it and the pro-Khomeini Muslim Students Association. Ali Azad, a spokesman for the Iranian Students, criticized Khomeini’s sweeping gov ernmental powers, stating, “We do not support the constitution now imposed upon the Iranian people.” Azad said the shah should he returned to Iran, but said the “issue of the shah and the embas sy seizure are completely sepa rate.” He added, all U.S. hostages “who are not guilty of spying should be released immedi ately.” because today’s children are raised on stories and television shows about such superhuman characters as Wonder Woman and Batman. The research was done by Ludy T. Benjamin, Jr., Jacqueline F. Lang ley an Rosalie J. Hall, and reported in the December issue of Psychology To day magazine. The new study repli cated that done in 1896 with 900 7-to 13-year-olds in Lincoln, Neb., pub lic schools. WE BUY BOOKS EVERY DAY! And remember we give 20% more in trade for used books.
