Patti Williamson stood in front of the job placement board in the basement of Strong Hall, searching the ads for part-time work
Plenty of students were at the placement board yesterday to keep her company.
"I basically need something part time to meet my living expenses," said Williamson, Lawrence senior. "I'm in the School of Business, and have looked for employment there, but I didn't find anything there. I'm still looking."
Williamson isn't the only one looking for a job. Statistics released Friday by the Kansas Department of Human Resources showed that 4.4 percent of Douglas County residents were unemployed in November and December.
Pam Houston, associate director of financial aid, said the number of jobs listed with the office of financial aid had remained the same for the past year.
Students wanting part-time work, but needing hours to fit their schedules, can look into another financial aid program called On Call Employment Service.
On Call "is a program to help students fill in the cracks financially." Houston said. "The program has been actively going on for at least three years."
THE ADS FOR On Call advertise for "housecleaning, tutoring, food service, companion care, yard work, farm work, moving,
clerical, sales, bartending, carpentry,
painting - indoors or out - and delivery."
The financial aid office makes up a list of students. The list includes the student's skills, interests and school schedule. When a student needs an office gives them five names from the list.
Houston said students and employers worked out their own details for the job. She said about 40 to 50 students were on the list now. A new list is made up each semester.
"We usually get a couple of calls a week." Historian "We're working on how to increase the calls."

"I think, as a whole, we give at least one referral per semester per student. These can lead to more permanent positions." Morgan said she works back without going through the service."
One thing the service doesn't do is screen the students or the employers.
"There should be careful consideration by both the student and employer," Morgan said.
Morgan also said the job board provided a service to the community because there was no charge for companies to advertise for help.
Heart transplant recipient is doing well
Heart transplant recipient Donald L. Moore of Kansas City, Kan., is doing well, a spokesman at the University of Kansas Medical Center said yesterday.
Moore received the heart of an Overland Park police officer Saturday. The police officer, Deanna Rose, had died from injuries suffered in the line of duty.
Spokesman Mary Harrison said that Moore, 49, was moving around and eating solid food yesterday morning. She said Moore's surgeon and chairman of the thoracic and cardiovascular surgery department, was pleased with the patient's progress.
Harrison said, "There are no signs of infection or infection of the heart."
Moore suffered from ischemic cardiomyopathy, a condition that kills the heart muscle. His transplant was the fifth heart transplant performed at the Med Center.
While Moore showed signs of recovery, the Johnson County district attorney filed new charges against Kenneth Meunier, 19, of Overland Park. in Rose's death.
Dennis Moore, the district attorney, that Meunier would be charged with felony murder, second-degree murder, and under penalty of death; andale Meunier had been charged with aggravated
battery of a law officer before Rose's death.
Meuier's bond was increased from $35,000.
Because the sound was increased to $10,000 after the charges were filed.
On Thursday Rose stopped the car Meunier was driving. Overland Park police said Meunier knocked Rose to the ground and ran over her with his car after she tried to arrest him.
Rose died Saturday. A memorial service was conducted in Overland Park yesterday, and a private family service will be in Topeka today.
City offices in Overland Park closed yesterday to observe the services.
West stacks of Watson get the blues
By CECILIA MILLS
By CECILIA MILLS Staff Reporter
No awful smell wafts into the lobby, and no incoherent students stumble out of the stacks.
Such are the sacrifices when Watson Library decides to cover up its dingy gray.
But students may notice a sticky stair railing, have to use the public elevator instead of the west elevator, or find a little blue paint on their fingers or shoe soles.
"We can only block off two stairways at a time because there are only two of us," Andrew said. "We have to give them all two coats, and we have to do all three stacks. I imagine we'll be here another month or six weeks."
About two weeks ago, Charles Andrew, facilities operations painter, and his partner started painting the metal stairways, hand-rail elevators in the west stacks of the library.
Andrew said people had said they were glad to see the stacks were getting a little brightening.
THOSE STUDYING IN the library yesterday didn't seem to be bothered by the painters or the smell.
"Actually I don't mind the smell at all," said Tom Stalaker, Westwood junior. "I didn't even realize they were painting, but it does look like it needs a new color."
Leesa Duby, stacks supervisor at Watson, said she and other library officials had tried to reach a happy medium in picking a color for the stacks.
Kendall Simmons, head of the circulation department, Mary Hawkins, assistant dean of Watson Library, and Duby chose the color, which the painters call dusty blue.
"We tried to pick something that would be visually attractive but not stand out and look silly." Duby said. "It helps people to see it, but it's not too bright, so it might blend in."
Duby said the stairwells, elevators and railings needed to be touched up because people bumped them, vandalized and wrote on them.
"As soon as it's painted, it's written on," he said, of the hundreds of people do it, and it start looking tacky.
"In the west elevator we have a particular problem with vandalism and graffiti. I've tried everything from new tile to different lighting."
Duby said the painting should bring the stacks up to standard with the rest of the clinic. "We've had a lot of use."
Prof commends bio-chemical center to House
Staff Reporter
By MICHAEL TOTTY
TOPEKA — The University of Kansas could become a center of high technology research and development with the growth of a unique bio-chemical venture, a KU professor told a Kansas House committee yesterday.
The year-old partnership between the Center for Bioanalytical Research, its commercial arm, Oread Laboratories Inc. and the Kansas University Endowment Association also could create up to 1,000 jobs and generate $100 million in revenue. Takeru Kimura, a professor of pharmacy and chemistry and acting director of the center, told the committee.
The House Communication, Computers and Technology Committee heard from representatives of two Regents universities with centers for excellence. The two-year program has financed centers at KU and Wichita State and Kansas State universities
THE CENTER FOR excellence program would create a high-tch research center of international stature at KU and build a new high-tech industry in Kansas. That industry would provide employment and add to the economic base of the state, as well as raise money for the Endowment Association to benefit KU and Kansas, Higuchi said.
He told the committee that the center would continue to rely on state funds, but that he would like to see the money included in the University's general budget. This would add stability to the program, a quality that is important to potential investors, he said.
State Rep. Jayne Aiyward, R-Salina and committee chairman, said that if the committee voted to continue financing the centers, the measure then would probably go forward, and Means Committee, which takes up budget matters before they go to the full House.
AT THE HEART of the center's plans for high-tech industries in Orad Laboratories Inc.
Higuchi said, "To take advantage of the technological research, we needed a commercial vehicle to translate research into money."
The company would market the research methods and technology developed by the research center. It also would use the newly developed techniques to potentially new drug substances. Higucii said.
Pharmaceutical companies now spend 10 percent of the cost of developing a new drug in analyzing the drug's possible effects, and 90 percent in evaluating the Ende, executive secretary of the University.
"It will be the only center in the world devoted to that." von Ende said of the opera.
AND HIGUCHI SAID, "I would rather have the grocery store at a gold mine, than mine the gold myself."
higuchi told the committee that there was a potential market of $100 million dollars for the kind of services Oread Laboratories would provide. Using a standard industry formula, Higuchi predicted this would mean 1,000 new jobs for the Lawrence area.
Higuchi also said the center had attracted top executives from several major drug companies, many of whom are his former students, to serve on its advisory board.
Since these companies also would be the laboratory's prospective customers, Higuchi said, it provided Oread Laboratories with a "built-in marketing plan."
Higuchi told the committee that his initial response to the idea of the state financing high-tech research and development was that it would be a failure.
"I THOUGHT IT was a fraud on the taxpayers of Kansas," he said. "If Kansas is going to compete in this area, it won't be in what is currently considered high-tech.
"For Kansas to get into this game, we'll have to get into what will be high tech in 10 or 20 years."
Oread Laboratories plans to begin construction on an eight-acre site in the proposed Lawrence Research Park west of Oread. The expected status is to be completed by July 1986.
The University received $130,000 for the center in the first year of the program and $160,000 in the second. In the first year, KU was required to come up with 150 percent, or $195,000, in matching funds from the Endowment Association. In the second year, KU was required of matching funds was decreased to only 50 percent of the state's allotment.
ONE OF THE questions before the committee was whether a fourth center for excellence should be financed by the state. Higuchi told the committee that although the program had been in place he did not wish to divide the current program's allotment with a second program.
Frances Horowitz, vice chancellor for research and graduate studies, said she would like to see the state finance a second center.
"I think we can raise the matching funds for a second center." she said.
The research methods and technology developed by the center would be turned over to the Endowment Association. The Endowment Association then would provide the money from patent royalties and the basic products of research to Oread Laboratories. The laboratories' profits would be returned to the venture capital fund. Most of the venture capital for the laboratories would come from private investors, Higuchi said.
