Optimism rises as college class of 1977 sees hiring gains
College Placement Council reports autumn surveys from 600+ employers show about a 12 percent rise in 1977 hiring over 1976. Private sector firms lead with roughly a 16 percent increase, while federal agencies up about 1 percent and state local agencies around 9 percent. The outlook credits renewed business confidence and cautions against fiscal missteps by the Carter administration. The U.S. corn crop is at a record, likely easing grocery prices. S.J. Hayakawa and Daniel Moynihan set to energize the Senate amid reshuffles.

Junkets drain taxpayer funds as Congress travels abroad
Congress travels overseas at high cost with tours labeled as briefings and missions. Junkets, sometimes by lame duck members, raise legality questions and test rules meant to curb foreign gifts. Committees patrol travel expenses, but public anger is needed to curb the trend. COPLEY NEWSPAPERS
