University Placement Offices Report Tighter Job Market
By JEANNE HEATHERLY
Kansas Staff Writer
The general consensus about the job market, according to various schools in the University, is that it is worse for students than it is for workers slightly better.
Mrs. Mildred Young of the School of Business placement bureau said that it was a very, very difficult task for her, she had sent to graduating seniors, she had only received 60 back and, at that, 60 only 17 had
"You must take into consideration that 21 are going on to graduate school and 10 are going on to law school, but won't be unemployed," she said.
Mrs. Young said that accounting students were not having as much difficulty finding jobs and that the graduate students, representing the "cream of the crop" were having the best luck
Mrs. Young said salaries in general business were down from last year.
The early graduation will not help to ease the job situation because there are still December graduates who have not found

According to a representative from the School of Architecture, jobs are opening up a little in that field, especially in Kansas City. Some students in the job and three others in the job. The job application is getting continually better.

more difficult this year than last.
She said the early graduation would allow KU students to do more interviewing, but that students were usually placed before graduation.
"No vacancies are being reported to us. Some fields are better than others, however. Graduates in mathematics, physical sciences, special arts, industrial and medical arts are having little difficulty. Social studies and English are having a more dif-
people will still have jobs," he said.
Elmo Lindquist, director of placement for the School of Engineering, said that more jobs were available last month than had opened all year.
HE SAID they were receiving more letters from companies and started to fill up, also starting to fill up. Compared to last year, the situation is about normal.
Dana Leibengood, placement director for the School of Journalism said that at this point, not

Everyone's budget has been cut just as the University's," she said.
She said that it had been bad all year and that she did not have much hope that it would get better.
Howard E. Mossberg, dean o. pharmacy, said that the job situation was worse because students were not finding two jobs each and that they were not getting to pick the exact one they wanted, those who registered were not having any difficulties.
"I don't look for the 1970s to be like the 1980s where two or three jobs are available, but a student in his exact location. The job market will be tightler in the 1990s."
"The placement has seemed to pick up in the last week or 16 days. Right now, it seems like they are getting closer, they are being placed," he said.
Forrest L. Swall, assistant manager, thinks things in the field were generally getting tighter, and would probably be no better than last
as many people were finding jobs as did last year, but that it was hard to estimate because he still had not heard from many of the students. He said that students were having to work harder and do more interviewing to get the job because the job market was outstretched.
"THOSE GRADUATING with a master's degree will not have the range of selection of two or three jobs," she said. "They will find jobs open," he said. Swall said the situation for graduating seniors was much
Firing of Jackson Led to BSU Strike
BY BARBARA SPURLOCK Kansas Staff Writer
An order by the University on Kansas Board of Regards to fire Gary Dean Jackson last July provoked strikes in December by the Black Student Union and an even more so, such as the University Senate.
Jackson, former assistant to the dean of men and instructor in African studies, was accused of using a BSU check to buy 27 boxes of ammunition in Topela on July 17. He was fired later that day.
BSU MEMBERS and other students gathered at a rally in front of Strong Hall on December 7, 2013, where man, told the group, "We want people to stop their jobs until Gary Jackson has a job. If it doesn't happen we will be weeks, if it takes till June we'll be on here strike until Jackson is reinstated or until the Board of Regents comes down here and goes."
The strike continued on Tuesday, Dec. 8. This time protestors marched on Jawahar Boulevard from Strong to the entrance of the building and also held to recruit whites into the strike. Bly 25 of the 100 in the predominantly white crowd would pick they moust. Most of those interested wanted to protest against the Board of Regents for the College of Education specifically against their treatment of the Jackson case.
A BSU statement made in November demanded that the Regents explain their reason for charging Chalmers Jr. to fire Jackson. It said that if an explanation was made, the KU faculty and staff shared in Jackson's state of unemitment to action to see that the rest of the KU faculty and staff shared in Jackson's state of unemitment.
This statement meant that BSU members were ready to strike from classes in order to give Jackson a chance for a hearing and possible reinstatement. It gave the Regents two weeks to explain. When there was none the BSU carried out their plans.
THE FIRST DAY of strike didn't move the Regents to action. Neither did a request by 25 members to hold a special Regents meeting to reconsider the Jackson case. The Black members to hold a special Monday, Dec. 7 and asked him to contract the Regents and ask for a special meeting to reinstate his request also was unsuccessful.
This strike was not only a black student effort. Black faculty members supported it because of the Regents' lack of response to the demands for an explanation Bill Ebert, who was then student student, and every Black and white said to stand the issue.
The BSU then mobilized into more concrete action. A petition signed by more than 50 University Senate members was presented to the Executive Committee. The number of names on the petition
Pickets stood at engrenages to buildings on campus and asked them to wear a class. A leaflet passed out to pickets said no physical force was to be used. It referred to the assault as a "fasst oppression" power.
required its members to convene for an emergency meeting on Saturday, Dec. 12.
THE BSU decided that economic pressure was necessary for the strike to be made. The BSU declared an economic boycott of the Union. On the same day the Student Senate passed a resolution saying that the BSU could not "assist a net of blatant racism."
On Thursday the BSU called a moratorium on strike activities awaiting a Monday meeting of the governors to come of the Regents meeting was a disappointment. The Regents took no definite action but said they would not be made by the University Senate in their Saturday meeting. One of these asked that Jackson be immediately with full back pay.
THE GARY JACKSON incident coincided with other campus disturbances, which led to a sucker-suited to be supported by the BSU leaders. Jackson bought the ammunition the day after KU student Rick Dowdell was killed by a Lawrence policeman. The suspect, who had been BSU check, but Jackson denied this he made the purchase with cash. Posters of Rick Dowdell were displayed by BSU strikers firmly tying the two men together in many people's minds.
Also, on Monday, Dec. 7 a white KU senator, Harry K. Snyder was shot in an alleged attempt to prevent blocks from painting the mural in front of Watson Library. Both Washington and Chalmers insisted that the shooting had no connection with the BSU. So many people maintained that the shooting was condoned by the BSU.
JACKSON FILED suit in the U.S. District Court in Kansas Kane, Kan., on January 4 grounded the judge's decision due process of law. The judge gave Jackson 10 days to prove charges against him as false. The judge also said because the judge said there were "no genuine issues of innocence," it was intolerable for the court to perject itself into a matter of firing at a university. Jackson was and is now a first-year law student.
On Tuesday, one of the strike days, a small fire was discovered in Strong Hall. A bomb exploded on Thursday night causing major damage. Many attributed these incidents to blacking blacks. This was not proved.
This is a case in which the BSU leaders chose legal methods to protest something they felt was not established, but he has not been reinstated by the University. Some students say that in 1983, when Mr. Schultz examine dismissal cases more thoroughly before acting.
Sterility Sought
"The difficulty is that most students want jobs in urban areas. If they are willing to take jobs in rural areas they would have much more luck, even though the pay is less there," he
"I am convinced that the need is still there for the services but the opportunity to support federal and voluntary funding, limiting the opportunities for funding."

In the field of music, almost every senior on his list was either going on to graduate school or getting married, he said.
Scheid said the occupational academy graduates had never had an interview, but he did not anticipate any this year, but the job market was going to be a tough one.
"It all depends on what field you are going into," he said.
All schools agreed that the job market seemed to be improving and that what would happen depend upon an unpredictable economy.
