for employment the job market will look less frightening and become more encouraging.
THE TIGHT ECONOMY has encouraged many students to get advanced or joint degrees, which, he said, tend to widen those students' job markets.
"I'd rather face the market with a degree than without a degree," he said.
Fredrick Madaus, director of placement for the School of Business, said business students were finding jobs even though on-campus recruiting was down considerably.
By the first of July last year, 90 percent of business graduate students and 83 percent of the
James Henry, director of placement for the
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said many students were not starting early enough in their job search, and by the time they did begin to look all the jobs had been filled.
Henry said, for example, that language majors trying to get government jobs as interpreters were some of the students who typically came in too late to find jobs.
HE SAID ALL applicants had to take a test before they could apply for a job, but the test was offered only in the fall and many students would not begin to look for a job until they had missed the test.
Geissler said the placement centers were emphasizing the importance of resume writing and interning skills.
Madaus said that the placement centers honored
students would look to them for help in preparing for the job search rather than depending on them for job placement.
"WE SEE on-campus interviewing as the tip of the iceberg," he said.
Students can keep their job options open by being able to move anywhere and by accepting jobs that, in better times, they may have turned down, he said.

He said the placement center was still offering approximately the same services, but the business school's office was working on bringing smaller companies to KU. Such companies might have only occasional openings.
Sometimes small companies do not think that KU is interested in them, he said.
He said the decision to return to work was made because most trucks cannot afford to fall behind in payments on their vehicles and they felt the strike was "ill-timed."
"Most of the taxes, except the 5-cents per gallon fuel tax, don't go into effect for another year." Stanley said. "Those who called the strike were in left field. They didn't use their brains" because most trucking companies will raise their rates to cover those costs.
Truckers
"Cockeyed taxes" were no reason to strike, Stanley said. "You have to change the law through legislation, not by strikes and violence."
The striking truckers are demanding a rollback on a $ cents a gallon fuel tax bike and other road-use taxes passed by Congress in December.
said Saturday that he had asked the General Accounting Office to study "the economic impact, if any, of increased taxes on independent truckers."
The 100,000 independent drivers, who own their tractors and haul trailers for a fee, deliver 90 percent of the nation's fresh food. The strike had minimal effect on produce shipments the first week, but dealers — particularly in Texas — said a second week could deplete gut shelves.
Costs
"Prices will be substantially higher next week if the trucks don't get in," said David Smith, co-owner of Fairway Fruits and Vegetables in New York City.
"We'll be out of business here, I'd say tomorrow or Wednesday, unless we can get supplies somewhere," said Al Bachman, a wholesale producer distributor in Pittsburgh.

Kolman said the average independent trucker earned between $10,000 and $20,000 a year.
ECOONISTS AT THE Department of Agriculture estimate it costs a truck owner-operator $3,189 to haul a load of commodities from California to New York.
The going rate for such a job, a distance of more than 2,700 miles, is between 2,500 and
Assuming the truck is packed with 800 cartons of lettuce or 19,200 head, the figures indicate that a trucker spends 16 cents a head to do the job and receives 14 cents a head as compensation.
The 16-cent figure includes the truckers fixed costs, such as insurance, payments on the truck and annual license fees.
Truckers carrying such commodities work the jobs now in hopes of making up their fixed costs during the peak season of the summer months when they can lack in rates to perhaps $3,500.

According to the Agriculture Department's January estimates, it costs the average inde
Besides the increases in the federal motor vehicle tax, truckers on the open road are also finding tax increases by state governments to become hard-pressed to find additional revenue.
IN ADDITION, the trucker will face annual state registration fees as high as $1,500 in Illinois.
On top of that a few states impose "weightdistance" or "axle" fees which can add another few cents per mile.

or our rules.
If the rules are ambiguous or vague, it is up to the people working with them to interpret them in the way they think best, he said.
"IF YOU WANTED to be really technical about it," he said, "you could probably find every single group we finance in violation of one of our rules."
numpy said he had been working on combining the rules and regulations and the revenue code into one clear, precise document to use when questions arose.
"The rules should have been revised before revenue code hearings began." he said. "But it is unfortunate."
Despite problems with the rules, the finance committee will treat the revenue code groups the same way it has in the past, he said.
Revenue code groups, including the University Daily Kansan and KJHK, receive an allocation from the Senate that is determined every two years.
