Many Government Jobs Available For Students Who Apply Quickly
Want to apply for a job this summer with the federal, state or local government.?
the federal, state or local government. If so, you had better hurry. Now isn't too soon and may be too late to apply for some jobs.
*Perhaps you would like to be a park ranger at Yellowstone National Park, a laborer for the highway department in Douglas County or a law intern in Montana, WY.*
Or perhaps you would prefer any job that is available in Boston, Denver, Wichita or wherever your fantasies lead you. The jobs are still available—thousands of them.
Lillian Nelson, a receptionist at the federal Job Information Center in Wichita, said Wednesday that the deadline for federal workers to be some of the few available in Washington.
However, some jobs are still available. The U.S. Civil Service Commission's summer job announcements list work jobs in Washington and in most of the 50 states.
Most of the jobs are with federal agencies, national parks, veterans hospitals and so forth. Graduate and undergraduate, skilled and unskilled students are needed. Law students are in demand at some federal agencies.
Deadlines for applications run from Jan. 25 to April 15. However, many of the agencies quit taking applications after they receive a specific number of the. So, the Civil Service announcements urge students to apply early.
For more information on federal jobs, contact the Federal Job Information Center in Wichita. The toll-free number is 1-800-302-3827 and you will start your federal application process.
If you prefer to stay in Kansas or specifically in Douglas County, jobs are also available with the state and local government, however, early applications are helpful.

BGS Program a Magnet For Seekers of Flexibility
The response to the BGS degree at KU, Lewis said, is about the same as the response at Michigan University before its BPS program became widely accepted.
KU first offered its BGS program in June 1973. Lewis said it was a few years to come, but he kept it going.
About 400 students, or 2 per cent of the students at the University of Kansas, are working toward a Bachelor of General Studies (BGS) degree, Jerry Lewis, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts, said Wednesday.
Students with 50 hours and at least a 1.8 grade point average can apply for the BGS programs. Requirements for graduation are 40 junior-seniors hour and three courses each in the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences or math.
Haliburg said the highway department gave preference to engineering and pre-engineering students. He said that to apply for one of the highway jobs, a person should write to the Personnel Division, 7th Floor, State Office Building, Topeka.
personnel with the State Civil Service Commission in Topeka, said that the state highway department hired approximately 700-800 students every year and that the Grain Inspection Division hired 15 to 25 people.
After almost two years, 15 per cent of the Michigan students were pursuing the BGS degree. Lewis said Michigan now had 25 per cent of its students working toward a BGS
Many students at KU still don't know who goes to the students and the students who choose a BIG INSERT instead.
For grain inspection jobs, Haliburg said, students should write directly to the Grain Inspection Co.
There are also a number of local government jobs available.
so for many reasons, Lewis said. The main reason seems to be flexibility, though.
Lewis admitted that some students worked toward a BGS instead of a BA because they wanted to avoid requirements; especially, the language required. The degree was not intended as a means of avoiding requirements.
A BGS degree shouldn't affect a student's chances for graduate professional school, 82.4%.
Students in preprofessional programs often choose a BGS degree. Instead of selecting a major, Lewis said, these people try to diversify their education. Others, he said, who do choose a major, work toward a BGS because it allows them to specialize. They can no longer on the total major hours that can be applied toward graduation.
Pam Myer, a secretary in the Lawrence Parks and recreation Department, said that the department would hire about 10 summer employees. Some of the jobs involved include helping swimming instructors, supervise park maintenance workers, she said.
However, he said, there has been adverse reaction from the Kansas Board of Law Examiners. He said that the board thought that the BGS degree provided too much freedom from requirements that are conducive to a liberal education. The board is discussing whether to allow holders of a BGS degree to practice law in Kansas.
Interested students may contact the county commissioners' office. Another possible source is the Lawrence Public Works Department.
Senate to Take Final Roll Call On No-Fault Bill
Lewis said that the board's problem was
nically one he knew of involving the BGS
degree.
TOKEAP (EA) – The Kansas Senate gave
a new府-auto insurance bill,
no-fault automobile insurance bill.
A voice vote approving the bill set the stage for a final roll call in the senate today. If the senate approves it, the bill goes to the house.
To apply for one of the jobs, Leib said, a student should go directly to the department's office in the basement of the courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St.
Other local employment opportunities are handled through the Student Financial Aid office in Strong Hall and through the Kansas State Employment Service at $39 Kentucky

—Require nonresident drivers as well as Kansans to carry no-fault insurance when driving on Kansas roads.
The bill is designed to correct deficiencies cited by a district court judge when he struck down a 1973 law which went into effect Jan. 1.
—Correct faulty wording in the title.
The new bill ran into heavy attack from senators who also are attorneys, who said they didn't think the new bill was any more constitutional than the one struck down by Shawnee County District Court Judge William R. Carpenter.
The new no-fault bill would make these changes in the law rule unconstitutional:
However, Sen. Richard Rogers, R-Manhattan, an attorney who sponsored the bill, said he had been informed that the state Supreme Court would review the new law and earlier court bill when an appeal brought by the governor general's office reached the high court.
One good source of summer jobs in the past is no longer available. Arthur Fry of the Local Post Office personnel department can teach you how to work with no longer hard part-time or summer help.
