'U' prof predicts

economic,
By FRANCIE ALLEN
with wire reports
A University economics
professor says signs of economic
recovery are evident despite the
recent downturn in family buying
power and the increase in the
foreign trade deficit.
Paul McCracken, who served as
chairman of the President's Council
of Economic Advisers during the
Nixon administration, spoke at the
16th Annual Economic Seminar at
the University of Florida Monday.
According to McCracken, a 5
percent decline in family purchasing
power since the 1970s means "the
purchasing power from an hour of
work today is actually lower than
that of a decade ago."
He said that throughout the first
two-thirds of the 20th century,
wages and production were rising at
about the same rate - 2 to 2.5
percent per year - and then leveled
off in the 1960s.
If these trends continued,
purchasing power based on an
hour's wage would have been 25-30
percent higher than it is currently,
McCracken said. s
McCraken predicts "international

upturn
economic disintegration" because of
the severity of the foreign trade
deficit. But he is optimistic about
the outlook for 1987.
"I think by 1990 we'll see a
budget deficit significantly lower
than what it now is," McCracken
said in a telephone interview. "A
$25 to $30 billion decline per year
is not impossible." The foreign
trade deficit was about $12.8 billion
in the first nine months of 1986.
ACCORDING to McCracken,
the dollar will devalue by 5-10
percent by year's end. He says
Congress will attempt to pass
protectionist legislation to restrict
foreign imports and "if the
President works with the Congress,
they can probably come up with
something that won't be too bad."
McCracken said the devaluation
of the dollar will restore the
confidence of foreign investors in
the American economy.
McCracken feels businesses can
make fundamental contributions
toward strengthening the economy.
Foreign competition, for instance,
has intensifed competition between
American businesses "and they'll
become more productive because of
it," he said.

"During the past 20 years, in
most years the stocks have gone
down in December and they have
jumped up in the first few weeks in
January," he said.
Kim outlined three common
stories used to explain the January
effect: a desire to sell in December
to gain tax benefits on stock losses,
the investment of year-end salary
bonuses, and the "holiday spirit
hypothesis."
"People have a nice holiday,

they feel great in January, so they
invest and jack up the stock
market," he said.
Finance Prof. David Brophy
attributes the rise, in part, to the
new tax law. "Toward the end of
last year there was a lot of
uncertainty about the new tax law.
That caused a lot of dumping by
people who wanted to claim capital
gains," he said. "Now we're seeing
a re-investment of that money into
the market."
Brophy predicts that the current

"bull" market will continue for
another 20 to 30 days. "Toward the
end of that period, we'll see a little
stabilizing," he said.
There are market watchers who
have predicted that the Dow will
reach 3,000 by year's end, Brophy
said. But, he added, "I don't believe
that that's in the cards."
Brophy doesn't feel that the new
Congress or President Reagan's
budget proposal have had much
effect on the market.

Other assembly members feared
the process of hand-picking student
representatives to such an advisory
committee would result in an
inadequate and biased student input.
"I think this was a move on
Josephson's part and on Duder -
stadt's part to consolidate power in
the decision-making process," said
MSA representative Mike Phillips,
an LSA sophomore.
Josephson could not be reached
for comment.
Duderstadt said he is interested in
increasing the amount of student
input he receives. "I am committed
to strong student involvement," he
said. "MSA should be strong in

that, but I think a lot of other
students should be too."
Duderstadt said he met with the
student leaders in an informal
meeting to generate feedback on the
strategic planning process. Accor -
ding to him, the student members
decided among themselves to meet
regularly as a caucus and to hold
closed meetings.
"They're not informal, they're
formal," Layman said. "He san -
ctioned that formation by granting
those people some interaction in
the process of deciding who gets the
University funding. These kinds of
actions help make people think that
MSA is not a legitimate
representative of the student body."

A STATE EMPLOYEE'S SMALL
BUSINESS DREAMS COMING TRUE
IN A WORLD OF CHILDREN'S
A few years ago, Curt Irish - a security trainer at the Forensic Center- had the
chance to go into business. He found a great opportunity with Children's Book Mark-
an area franchise carrying children's literature, toys, educational games, school supplies
and more.
Wanting a location outside a regional mall, Curt delayed his opening until
the completion of Tally Hall. Today, with art expert staff and more than 5000

Children's Book Mark is more than books. It's the commitment
