emocratic candidates remain split on issues By EVANS WITT' AP Political Writer NEW YORK The three Democratic presidential candidates remained sharply divided yesterday by what Gary Hart called their "penny ante" charges and countercharges, but in their second debate in a week all united to denounce what they say was the lack of ethics in the Reagan administration. Hart said New York's voters are "fed up" with the arguments among the candidates, but that did not deter him, Walter F. Mondale and the Rev. Jesse Jackson from continuing their attacks upon one another two days before the crucial New York primary Mondale said the debates have not been "petty. It goes to the question of who is ready to be president." Jackson said he has often been ignored by Democratic reps. speak at dinner By MIKE NETHERLAND Collegian Staff Writer The Democratic sweep through Pennsylvania hit Centre County yesterday with the Hart campaign sending at least two national coordinators and the Mondale campaign sending Mondale's brother. Both candidates' representatives addressed the Democrats' annual Spring Dinner at the Elks Club in Boalsburg last night where the keynote speaker was state House majority leader James J. Manderino. - 'We're not running against Ronald Reagan yet.' Mort Mondale, presidential hopeful's brother The dinner atmosphere was conspicuously split between the old Roosevelt New Dealists that - Mondale is identified with and the more conservative wing with which Hart is identified. The Hart campaign was well represented with all four endorsed delegate candidates attending, including Merle McCaplips, Centre County Democratic Committee chairman who was master of ceremonies. If not for the,appearance of Walter Mondale's brother, Mort, the campaign's only representative would have been alternate delegate Harold Wise. The majority leader did not choose sides and Centre County Commissioner, - John Saylor, formerly a Glenn alternate delegate, said he would support the candidate that carries the district. But the strong Hart presence was off-set with Manderino drawing parallels between now and the Great Depression. He cited "two Job forecast: Editor's Note: This is the first of a three-part series concerning the potentia/ job market for the Class of 1984. The first part will examine the job availabilty on the national scale. Tomorrow's story will focus on state and local outlooks.

"I disagree with both of their positions. I'm sitting here too," Jackson told Gabe Pressman, who hosted the hour-long debate on WNBC-TV. • The Democratic candidates did unite, however, to attack President Reagan for what they said was the lack of The ethics in his 'administration. "Master of deceit," Jackson said of Reagan. "One of the tawdriest administrations of our time," said Mondale. - "One of the most marginally p ethical administrations of our time," added Hart. Two days before New York's Democrats parcel out 252 pledged delegates, the Democratic contenders agreed that any of them would be better than Reagan in the White House, but they continued the acrimonious exchanges that have marked Terry Johnson, a former Hart congressional aide, speaks at the local Democratic dinner last night years of double-digit unemployment" in this state and the "cold blooded policies of people like (David) Stockman, and (Edwin) Meese," referring to the Office of Management and the Budget director and the chief White House counsel, respectively. Manderino accused President Reagan several times of creating economic conditions requiring "soup kitchens and cheese lines." Manderino condemned the Socal, Gulf Oil merger and other takeovers of the early 1980's including the U.S. Steel Corps' takeover of Marathon Oil as a squandering of money with no increase in productivity and no job creation. The Socal-Gulf merger, he charged, will put 2,500 people out of work in Allegheny County. He said 1984 outlook brightens for University graduates, experts say With graduation a little more than a month away, job hunting.is one of the most thought about and talked about subjects among prospective graduates. Fortunately for many students in the Class of 1984, the job picture is looking somewhat brighter than it did last year, according to local experts. Frank G. Clemson, manager of the State College office of Pennsylvania State Job Service, said that although the job market is not nearly as good now as in the late 1970 s and 1980 s, this year's college graduates will have an easier time finding jobs than last year's graduates. "Last year was so drastically lousy it was bound to improve," Clemson said Raymond E. Lombra, professor of economics, said that in late 1982 the national unemployment rate was more than 10 percent, and now it is down to 7 and three-quarters percent. In February 1984, 700,000 more people were employed than in January 1984, he added. Lombra said the growth in the the daily olle • lan the campaign in recent days. On Central America and the nature of their own campaigns, the candidates disagreed sharply. But when the issue of moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem came up, the debate sharpened. "I know the voters of New York state . . . are fed up with this penny-ante, picky business," Hart said. "They know that Walter Mondale and I are equally committed to the survival of Israel. They don't want to hear this any more." Mondale said the campaign has to "stay on the issues, to illuminate our differences." "For 20 years, I've been for the transfer of the embassy," Mondale said. "The reason I brought that up was that you changed your, position on that fundamental question five days ago. "That's not petty. That goes to the question of who's ready; who's consistent; the Reagan administration's policies allow takeovers and mergers Mondale's brother also charged Reagan with being insensitive to the poor and unemployed. In a press conference before the dinner, Mondale said although his brother's campaign is concerned about the popular vote in this state, "We're not running against Ronald Reagan yet," and added that the popular vote will be important then. Responding to a question.about Mondale's close affiliation with organized labor and the Carter administration being a liability, he said, "I'm not sure I call them liabilities." The power and resources of organized labor is a positive aspect needed to beat Reagan, he said. employment rate is because of a sustained recovery from the 1982 recession. At the beginning of a recovery employees will be given more hours, he said, but if the recovery continues additional workers will be hired During the first quarter of 1984, the growth in real gross national product was a little over 7 percent, Lombra said. Because of this, employers will probably continue to hire workers to keep up with demand, resulting in better job prospects for 1984 graduates, he said. Nationally, Clemson•said engineers, especially electrical and mechanical, accountants, computer scientists, and math and chemistry teachers are in high demand. Also a high need exists for graduates in health care professions. And "students with a retail background have it pretty good right now." For graduates with liberal arts degrees, Clemson said he thinks the job picture is still not that optimistic. Dante V. Scalzi, the University's Terry Johnson, a former Hart congressional aide, was asked if Hart would nominate a women for his vice-president. "The time is ripe," he said for both him and Mondale to choose a female running mate. Addressing potential volunteers earlier yesterday on campus, Johnson said Hart "has expressed a willingness to take a woman running mate." Johnson, a native of Colorado running for a seat in that state's senate, said Hart would call for a matching fund system among labor, corporate pension funds and the federal government to provide for retraining and retooling. He said Hart is opposed to protectionist measures to sustain U.S. industries In the game of "competing tariffs, we will not win," he said. educational placement officer, said the view is "more clouded" this year for graduates seeking jobs in education. Until two years ago, Scalzi said, "the South and Southwest were clamoring for teachers." "But we haven't heard much lately from them because the • economy has hit them hard;" he said. The school districts in those places do not have recruiting runs at the University anymore, like they did a few years ago, he added. Scalzi said the view is also clouded because politicians have talked about improving educational facilities, enhancing salaries and underwriting science and math programs. But, "we are in an election year so it may just be rhetoric," he stated. However, Scalzi said the Educational Placement Office regularly receives a list from school districts across the nation announcing teaching job openings. "We see that the number of vacancies for this year has increased over the past several years," he said. "That's encouraging." who knows what he is doing." Mondale and Hart have been arguing about the embassy issue for days, since Jewish voters make up a significant bloc of votes in the New York primary next Tuesday. Jackson opposes the embassy move and repeatedly thrust himself into the exchanges between Hart and Mondale. Mondale also said Hart's attacks on him have been "negative" and "personal." "When you go beyond the face to say things of this kind, it is negative; it is personal," Mondale said. The former vice president objected to Hart's ads and speeches that suggests he supports policies that could put U.S. troops in jeopardy in Central America and to the Colorado's campaign theme that Mondale is "old" and Hart is "new."
