At center, students can improve job skills

This fall would be a good time for juniors to begin attending workshops at the University Placement Center, said the center, an assistant director of the center.
She said the workshops often were students' experience with the course. 24 Carratchley Hall, 19-21 Broadway.
WORKSHOPS DURING THE fall and spring semesters cover resume and letter writing, interviewing skills and job-search organization.
The workshops are repeated throughout the semester so a student can fit one into his schedule, she said. They also are kept small so that students attending receive individual attention.
Last year more than 2,000 students attended the 120 workshops conducted at the center, she said. Workshops also can be arranged for classes, clubs, sororities and fraternites on campus upon request.
Webster said a student should complete the workshops on interviewing and resume writing by the end of the first semester of his senior year and begin intense job hunting his last semester.
She said workshops on jobs for writers and jobs in federal and state
government also might be conducted this fall.
THE INFORMATION PRESENTED in workshops also is stored in notebooks in the center's library, she said.
The library at the center contains books on interviewing, resume writing and career planning. Webster said, as well as career-related periodicals.
Employer information, such as recruitment brochures and annual reports, also is available to students and alumni in the library.
The center, which is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, publishes eight job vacancy bulletins, she said. The Bulletins describe positions available throughout the country in the areas of education, school administration, business, government, allied health, humanities, language arts, science, mathematics and social sciences.
June Kautz, office manager at the center, said students could register to have the bulletins sent to them for a year for $7.50.
RE-REGISTERING FOR THE bulletins in subsequent years costs $15, she said, because people who register a second year usually have graduated and are working and can afford the higher price.
At the beginning of each semester, Webster said, the center publishes a

master list of employers who will be recruiting on campus.
She said that interviews were conducted in the various placement offices on campus and that people must sign up at the particular placement office.
Webster said that although all students and alumni might interview at the University Placement Center, the center specifically served students in the Arts and Sciences, the School of Education and the School of Fine Arts.
THE PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS of Architecture and Urban Design, Business, Engineering, Journalism, Law and Social Welfare also have placement offices for students enrolled in those schools.
Students and alumni may establish a credentials or resume file at the center, she said. Credentials are primarily for people seeking jobs in education.
Kautz said a credentials file contained letters of reference and information about a student's education history. Kautz asked me to interview on campus for jobs in
The fee for a credentials file is $7.50 for the first year and $15 for subsequent years, she said. For the fee, students receive access toracy bulletins published by the center.
education must establish a credentials file at the center.
SHE SAID THAT those who attended on-campus interviews must keep a resume on file, as must anyone wishing to have his name referred to employers. There is no fee to establish a resume file.
Webster said students could use by-pass writers at the center to type their resume.
When an employer calls the center looking for applicants, Kautz said, the center sends him the resumes of those interested in that type of position.
Webster said the center had a new computer that should speed up the matching of student and alumni interests to employers' needs.
Kautz said a student could make an appointment for a mock interview in which a videotape would be made of the student. The video was the member, played back and criticized.
Students and alumni can consult with staff members at anytime, Webster said, although an appointment is recommended.
Aid, new program increase opportunity for study abroad
Staff Reporter
By ANNE AMOURY
Anita Herzelfd, director of the Office of Study Abroad, said recently that she wanted to dispel some myths about the history of Kansas study abroad program.
"There are many misconceptions about this office that I'd like to clear up," she said.
"First of all, you don't have to be rich."
KU offers scholarships and financial aid for semester, year-long and summer programs for students qualified to complete the program. KU's scholarships and scholarships also are available.
SHE SAID THAT there were three criteria that must be met for a student to attend college.
They must be KU students; they must have at least a 3.0 grade point average; and they must show financial need.
"Second of all, you don't have to be a genius," she said. "You can't be a lousy student either. We want to export people we can be proud of, too."
Finally, she said, students' cumulative grade point averages did not suffer as a result of studying in a foreign culture.
The program will support student exchanges among countries involved in the Versailles Economic Summit of May 1982.
President Reagan has initiated a new exchange program beginning this fall called the International Youth Exchange Initiative. Herzfeld said.
STUDENTS WHO HAVE had one year of Italian are eligible to participate in this exchange for next year, she said. One KU student will study in Italy and three Italian students will study at KU this academic year.
Other KU exchange programs last a year, a semester or a summer.
The year-long programs go to all the same countries, except Mexico, plus Greece, Poland, Nigeria, Israel, Japan, Korea, China and Costa Rica.
This year's summer program included exchanges with Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Spain and the Soviet Union.
"IF MORE STUDENTS would participate in such exchange programs, we might be able to avert such foreign policy catastrophes borne of deepstandings as we've seen in such places as Iran, El Salvador and Nicaragua."
OPEN HOUSE
Herzfeld said she would like to share her enthusiasm with students who help prepare them for college.

With a total capital of two thousand dollars loaned him by his father, he erected a building at 634 Massachusetts Street (in 1855) and opened what was then the second drug store west of St. Louis. Later the store was moved a few doors farther to the north. It was destroyed by Quantrill August 21, 1863. It was then re-established in a building just south of the Eldridge Hotel, the first prescription in the new stand being filled September 9, less than three weeks after the raid..
"A new building was shortly begun on the present site - 801 Massachusetts and it gained the name 'The Round Corner' from having its entrance thru a door in the rounded corner. Here the store has remained... and is the oldest business house in Lawrence."
"On the second boat ever to ascend the Kaw River as far as Lawrence, aside from those paddled by Indians, came Brinton Webb Woodward, then 21 years old. He had left his home in Pennsylvania where five generations of his ancestors had resided, intending to locate in Leavenworth. Having been persuaded to visit Lawrence, he decided to make it his home.
