Students seeking part-time employment this summer may find it more difficult than in summers past, employment officials said yesterday.
Ed Mills, director of the Lawrence Job Service Center, said that Lawrence's economy depended heavily on student and faculty funding and that the university could not afford for the summer, consumer demand decreased
'WHEN YOU LOSE 10,000 people, it's bound to have an effect,' he said.
Mills said the problem was worse this summer because of high unemployment nationwide.
He said that because of the poor economy, many students were remaining in Lawrence after school.
Pam Houston, director of the KU student employment center, agreed that students were
having difficulty finding jobs but did not think this summer was especially bad.
However, she said, "I wouldn't say many jobs go begging in Lawrence."
REX BUELL, personnel manager for the Kansas Union, said that although the Union employed about 20 percent fewer people in summer than in winter, no employees had been
He said, however, that some part-time employees went home for the summer and returned to their jobs when the fall semester began.
Mills said that it was common for student employees to go home for the summer and for the remaining employees to take on extra hours. The result is that many students cannot find a
The result is that many students cannot find a job.
Rick Miller, an employee at Miller Furniture,
739 Massachusetts St., advertised a part-time job on the job board outside the financial aid office in Strong Hall.
Miller said that he received 12 applicants the
first day, with the first one appearing only 45 minutes after the job was posted.
Shirley Fintrock, personnel secretary for Unified School District 497, said 150 people applied for six summer jobs on the district's paint crew.
HOUSTON OFFERED some advice to job hunters: "Get out and market yourself and let employers know you're available. You should send an email to HR, or who you applied to and keep checking back."
Houston said that many employers did not look back through their old applications but hired new employees.
"I think right now is late to be looking for a job.

Thatcher wins landslide victory

LONDON — Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher won a landslide re-election victory yesterday, quadrupling her majority in Parliament with a new mandate to continue Conservative policies for another five-year term.
"It has been a rather exciting evening for some of us," Thatcher said at a celebration in her home district of Finchley and Friern Barnet in north London.
"IHAVE REASON to think we may have been returned to serve nationally for another period in government," she told supporters, tongue-in-cheek. "May I say I approach that term of office with a very great sense of responsibility and humility."
With 561 districts counted, the Conservative Party captured 347 seats of the 635-seat House of Commons, the Labor Party won 198 and the Democratic Alliance, 15. Minor parties captured four seats.
The Conservative Party held its heartland districts in southern and central England and captured seats in the traditional Labor strongholds in the north and west.
The newly formed "Alliance" received more votes than expected but won few seats because of the Conservative onslaught.
Parliament suffered humiliating defeat, including two of its founding leaders, Shirley Williams and William Rogers. Only party leader Roy Wilson and former foreign secretary Dr. David Owen were
Labor leader Michael Foot conceded defeat 4½ hours after the polls closed.
ALMOST ALL the Alliance members of
Deputy Labor Party leader Denis Healey said the voting "has put Britain at the mercy of the most reactionary, right-wing, extreme government in her history."
"The next general election starts now," said Foot, whose poor performance as party leader heightened speculation he would be replaced.
Voting, was heavy throughout the country. Encouraged by generally good weather, about 32 million people cast ballots, nearly 80 percent of the 42.7 million eligible.
BRITAIN'S ELECTORAL system gives a Commons seat to the leading vote-winner in each district. The leader of the party with the most seats in the body becomes prime minister and runs the government.
Tatcher, who became Britain's first woman prime minister in May 1979, called the election 11 months early in hopes of gaining a bigger mandate.
Votes were laboriously counted by hand, district by district. No voting machines were used.
During the day, stock markets boomed on expectation of a Conservative win, and the pound's value climbed against foreign currencies.
THE ONLY INCIDENT marring the vote was in Northern Ireland, where the extremist Irish National Liberation Army said it was responsible for blowing up a gas tanker truck near a voting station. No one was hurt.
Despite record unemployment of more than 13 percent and still-painful effects of a recession, every opinion poll since the campaign began 29 days ago predicted the Conservatives would romp home.
Some of their support came from distaste for Labor's far-left party platform. Many voters chose Thatcher's party as the lesser of two evils:
BUT MRS. THATCHER and her supporters waged a more vigorous, energetic and effective campaign.
Labor was never able to ignite voters on any issue and all but destroyed its chances through leadership squabbles over its policies for years. It has now been pulling out of the European Common Market.
By contrast, Britain's victory in the Falklands war last year gave Thatcher's "Iron Lady" image a glow of resolute leadership which she campaign advertisers successfully exploited
Kansas Depression days live in show

Researchers for KANU radio's series on Kansas during the Great Depression spent more than six months as historical gumshoes searching through dusty papers, listening to scratchy recordings and tracking down survivors of that time.
The series, "Making Do and Doing Without; Kansas in the Great Depression," is being broadcast on KANU at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday and again at 9:20 a.m. on Saturday for the next 20 weeks.
During dozens of interviews, however, they were able to find only one person who was on relief at the time.
THE RESEARCHERS. Barbara Watkins, Katie Matthews and Rachel Hunter, said they spent thousands of hours interviewing people around the state and listening to recordings of music and radio programs to produce a complete picture of life during that era.
gone someplace else, I don't know which.' Watkins, the project coordinator, said yesterday.
Hunter, the program's producer and music researcher, said many of the people interviewed were positive about their experiences during the Depression.
"The overwhelming thing was that they were survivors — they just did what they had to do," she said.
"People either wouldn't admit it, or they've all
DESPITE THE MANY positive recollections, the researchers also found evidence of difficulties.
Hanser said, "I discovered so many songs that were called 'Hard Times.' Even many songs that were not about the Depression had 'hard times' in the title.
"Woody Guthrie did the most about all the dust storms and being ill from the dust, like his song,"
"and he was not."
Armitage, who is the primary researcher on the project, and Watkins consulted more than 30 university professors across the state to help down the dozens of people needed for interviewing.
"ONE THING WOULD lead to another and we would just track down all the possible sources," Watkins said.
Armitage said she had located many people by using the Stuts Collection in the Kansas City area.
She also interviewed John Statts, who was the head of the Kansas Emergency Relief Committee while Alf Landon was governor of Kansas in the early 1930s.
"I found out Mr. Stuttus was alive and well and interviewed him — then he suggested another person that he had worked with." Armitage said. "One interview often led to another."
For example, with the help of Stutts, Armitage said she was able to find a social worker living in Topeka who had been the first case worker in Atchison County.
ARMITAGE SAID the families' were dependent on the case worker as a source of food.
"She was distributing commodities out of the back seat of her car," she said. "There were no frighters."
Booth ladies guard gates to campus

During her freshman year, Jody Arendale, Gardner junior, drove to campus one day, and as she passed the Ch Omega Fountain she noticed a woman waving frantically from a little, brown
"Then the woman came running after my car, screaming. 'You can't do that,'." she said.
BY THE TIME Arendale passed the Kansas Union, another woman in another brown booth was waiting for her.
Arendale waved back cheerfully.
Arendale learned then that KU Parking Services always gets its man, or in this case, its woman.
The woman gave her a citation, she said, for driving through campus when it was closed to students.
"I try to avoid them at all costs," said Elizabeth Anderson, Chicago junior.
While most students harbor no malice toward the operators in the information boots, many do not.
AFTER LEARNING the ropes, most students know when they can drive through campus, but some still try to convince the guards that it is important for them to be admitted.
Joyce Aldrich, a veteran operator of eight and one-half years, said, "One guy told me his canary got out and he had to find it on campus.
She said that although she dialked arguing with students, faculty, and visitors, the rules were established.
"Another one said that his grandmother fell down Wescoe's steps. When he started laughing I had an idea he was pulling my leg."
"Usually they want to park in loading zones and things like that," she said.
ROBERTA FENSTEMAKER, who has been an operator for six years, said that she had no problems with arguments.
Aldrich said that she also liked meeting people, but that it got boring sometimes when traffic was slow. During such times she does the job of reading paperbacks, magazines and the Bible.
"I like to talk to people, help them, and give them information." she said.
She said no problems would arise if permits were placed where they could be seen.
SHE ALSO SAID that showing some courtesy did not hurt.
"It won't help you get in, but it makes for a better relationship." she said.
The information booths were put into operation in 1962 because there was too much traffic on campus, and it was getting dangerous for the guard Lyle Wellman, supervisor of the operators.
He said that this summer four operators were running the four information stations on campus. He said the station attendants would rotate positions every two weeks.
Hours of restricted access to campus during the summer session are from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Roberta Fenstemaker, information booth attendant, awaits another car as it pulls up to her booth. She has worked as a booth attendant for six years.
