(UPI)-Many of the 1,400 delegates in town or the 5th national convention of the Young Americans for freedom (YAF) will be going 3ack to college in a few weeks and they would like their campuses to be peaceful. In the past few years the campuses that have not been jeaceful have been disrupted jy what the YAF calls the new left. Chief among the new left groups is the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), and YAF takes pains to contrast itself with SDS.

Convention delegates say they will plan activities "which will confront and diminish SDS tyranny on campuses throughout the nation." The convention opening today, will have to decide what form these activities will take, but YAR National Secretary Michael Thompson raised some eyebrows last week when he said that "physical action" may be necessary. Thompson explained that he was not encouraging YAF members to carry guns or resort to violence. He suggested that many demonstrations and sit-ins could be stopped by haying YAF members circle a building or stand in front of a doorway. "Sometimes it takes a show of force to stop the vigilantes on the left," Thompson said. Syndicated columnist William F.

"Money is the thing we need most right now," Miss Gloeckler said.

"Some people are sending gifts of dog food, but we have no way to handle it. Food supplies for humans come first."

The report indicated that seasonal food processing will reduce employment by about 80 workers while the resumption of school activities will account in an increase of about 220.

Retail trades will decline slightly, where as construction is expected to record an increase of about 50 over the July level. "Over all it is expected that total employment will be up about 65 workers in the mid-July to mid September period," Ickstadt said. Reviewing the trends in unemployment, the report indicated that the unemployment ratio had increased from a reported 2.9 percent in May to a 3.6 level in June and July. This in- increase in unemployment is chargeable almost entirely to the increase in school youth who are on the labor market for summer jobs. A reduction in unemployment: is expected in the next 60 days.

The report indicated that at the end of July, had a total of about 230 unfilled job openings, many of which were in the process of being filled. The report listed 23 openings in professional managerial occupations, 46 in clerical and sales work, 53 in service occupations and 108 reflected openings in factory and construction employment. Reviewing recent WSES operations, Ickstadt pointed to the new self-service center now in operation. Selected applicants search WSES unfilled openings file for jobs for which they have the necessary qualifications, while employers can review the applications of current job applicants and make their own selection. "This new approach to job- placement in the Eau Claire area- is catching on fast and proving to be a worth while inovation in WSES placement work," Ickstadt concluded.
