could turn into a real horse race,”
said a Carter strategist.
— “I think it’s going real well,”
said Kennedy oprative Robert Mil
ler. “I sense there’s a lot of mind
making-up going on out there.
Now’s the time those minds have to
be swayed.”
— “You may see a real bloodlet
ting before this thing is through,”
said one veteran party activist. “It
could rip the hell out of the Demo
cratic Party.”
— “This is personality politics
right now. 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.”

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.

NEW YORK — A cross-
jenerational study by three psycho-
ogists indicates children today are
more likely to want to teach their
iffspring about Santa Claus than did
oungsters in 1896.
The study also showed the 19th

— “Kennedy’s got a good staff.
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.

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.
