recruiting trips to the school this spring, Madusa said. Although more companies are expected, he does not expect enough companies to “bleed in” to break the 100 mark.
HE ALSO EXPECTED employers to offer fewer jobs, although some larger public accounting firms have said they would see any student who wanted an interview.
Students with more general academic backgrounds are having the most difficulty finding jobs, he said.
Sales positions are still readily available, Maddaus said. They are usually the last department cut, he said, because a company cuts back on non-revenue generating areas first.
Some type of specialization is helpful, Madusa said, because the student is in competition with other students.
Terry Glenn, director of placement for the School of Education, said that the market for teachers was only fair, but that job prospects for math or science teachers were better.
IN 1981-1982 there were only 11,000 job openings in Kansas for teachers, compared to
Glenn said people with math and science backgrounds were often going into industrial fields because those jobs were paying as much as $60,000 a year more than starting teacher salaries.
Physical education majors are having the hardest time finding employment because
And fewer students are enrolling in education because they seem to be scared that there are no jobs, Gleam said, if a student is flexible about where he works, jobs are available.
Even computer science students are having trouble finding jobs.
JAMES HENRY, director of placement for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said computer science job openings were down considerably from two years ago. Henry said
A few years ago, a student who expressed an interest in learning about the computer field could get a job, and the company would train him, he said.
prospective employers could choose from a glut of qualified people.
Henry said he was confident the tight job market was only a temporary downturn.
Last year, as job opportunities declined,
students stopped coming into the placement
offices. Henry said. The students were scared
because they thought there weren't any jobs.
IN FACT, Henry said, many jobs were not there, and did not keep in touch with the placement center.
Dana Leibbeigod, director of placement for Dana the Journalism, said few recruiters know the subject matter.
But, he said, job openings at smaller daily newspapers and radio stations continue to come
Students need to be flexible on what type of job they will accept and where they will work; in particular, they must know
Jobs with advertising agencies and public relation firms are the hardest to get. he said.
"I think, even though fewer people are coming to the department to interview, there will be more," he said.
MAGDALENE CARTART, director of placement at the School of Law, said that fewer law firms were hiring, and that those firms were looking for a specific group of students.
However, new fields are opening up for law students, especially in corporate law, Cartar t said. Also, more students are going to work for companies instead of law firms.
Students are becoming more aware of the non-traditional opportunities available to law students, such as in tax law and city management, she said.
But, Carttara said, getting a job still requires being in the right place at the right time.
Horses bolt, take short tour of city
But their owners did not appreciate the horsing around.
Three horses broke out of their fenced-in pasture last night and took a brief run from Haskell to 20th and Massachusetts streets.
Jan Swisher, 339 Mississippi St., owner of two of the horses, said the animals were lucky to be there.
SHE SAID she received an anonymous phone call about 5 A.M. telling her that her horses were
out of their pasture, at 2504 Haskell Ave., and were running loose.
She met the other horse's owner at the pasture. They left in her truck and another car to try to reach the river.
Lawrence police were sent to the scene to help round up the horses.
The horses were captured by their owners at 20th and Massachusetts streets. They were put on the loose, and they roamed.
At the congressional hearing, Weinberger said of the incident: "I find it very disturbing and a continuation of a set of problems both unnecessarily and inexplicably prospects of the president for seeking peace."

many Marines were at the library position, nor was any reason given for the Israeli action.

At the State Department, Deputy Secretary of State Kenochne McDunn summoned Israeli Charge
State Department spokesman Alan Romberg said, "These recurring challenges by the Israeli forces are unacceptable. We view such incidents very seriously."
HE SAID the incidents endangered the safety of troops and hampered the peacekeeping efforts.
The Marines were dispatched to Beirut Sept.
29 and have made their base in the airport area
at the southern edge of the Lebanese capital. Israel's lines are just south of them.
Elsewhere in Lebanon, gunmen in a speeding car shot and wounded two unarmed French members of the multinational peacekeeping force. They were jogging along the Beirut waterfront, French Embassy spokesman Andre Janier said.
ONE SOLDIER was reported in serious condition. No one claimed responsibility for the attack — the second on French troops in five days.
Escalated fighting was reported from the town of Aley to the Shouf mountains between Lebanese Christian and Druze militiamen using artillery, mortars and machine guns.
It was the fourth straight day of fighting in the region. All roads in the Israeli-occupied region, including the main highway between Beirut and Damascus, were reported closed.
Impeach

Lampe said she felt she was justified in arranging the party and spending the money.
"At the time, I had the approval of my resident director, and I didn't realize it would upset so much."
Kathy Rose-Mockry, Los Angeles graduate student and Lewis residence hall director, was appointed to the board.
MARTIN SAID the matter would be brought before the hall's residents this week.
If most of the votes are in favor of the proposal, the hall's general assembly, consisting of three representatives from each floor, will vote on the matter, Martin said.
According to Martin, each floor of the hall will vote on the impeachment proposal between
Lampe said yesterday afternoon that she would not consider resigning. She said she was asked to resign by the hall's executive board, the government and officials she declined to identify.
AT LAST night's meeting, Lampe said again that, for personal reasons, she would not resign. The resigning would be a sign of failure, of
However, when asked by a hall resident at last night's meeting whether she would consider going to jail, she said.
"If it comes down to my being impeached, I will resign to speed up the process," Lampe said.

Officials say Tent City may close if residents don't improve safety
HOUSTON — Officials, responding to a fire death at Tent City USA, prepared yesterday to close the makeshift camp for the jobless if it becomes possible of noon tomorrow for safety improvements.
An investigator said arson was suspected because a violent dispute preceded the midnight blaze that killed James R. "Scotty" Bolland, 41, of New York, whose permanent address was in Washington state.
HARRIS COUNTY Fire Marshal J.J. Pruitt sent aides to the roadside camp of about 150 residents 30 miles east of Houston to post an alert that fire hazards be reduced within 48 hours.
Chief Fire Investigator Shelton Lawson said officials intended to evacuate violators at noon tomorrow if Pruitt's requirements were not met. The camp has no electricity, water or sewage facilities. He said, however, that anyone who compiled would be allowed to stay.
State Rep. Tony Polumbo, D-Houston, said he would be glad to see the camp because it was perceived as a hawken for the jobsmen when many were usually had taken handouts and turned down jobs.
Museum lecturer says bird parents rear foster young
Many birds raise young that are to their own, but scientists are not sure as to what motivates "foster birds," a researcher at the KU Museum of Natural History said last night.
Robert Fleischer, teaching assistant in systematics and ecology, said that unlike human foster parents, who raise a child not their own parent, children born to wicked parents might not know the difference.
FLEISCHER'S LECTURE was part of the museum's Wednesday Evening Series, in existence since 1976.
"Many species of birds can't even tell what their own egg looks like. They don't recognize that their egg is any different from another egg." Fleischer said.
The lectures are given on the first Wednesday of each month at the museum.
He said a bird sometimes laid its eggs in another bird's nest for that bird to raise. He called this practice "group parasitism." The male lays the egg, and the host raises the young.
Fleischer said the number of different species in a nest could be determined by a paternity test. "The female birds are not very selective," he said.
Species of birds known as group parasites include ducks, cowbirds and cuckoos.
FLEISCHER HAS studied the habits of these birds in the Sierraas as well as near Clinton Lake.
He said the main reason for studying what he called their strange habit was to find out why the birds sometimes raised other bird's young and how the practice evolved.
Ruth Genrich, director of public education for the museum, said the Wednesday evening programs were not intended to be scientific in nature. He was offering hearing and understandable to the general public.
Future lectures will deal with the work of the Kaw Valley Wildlife Rehabilitation Program, given by John Muder, director of KU's Veterinary Animal Care Unit, and Joanie Hauser, a veterinary technician for the unit. Another presentation, by Lester Mitscher, professor of medicinal chemistry, will look at the chemical and medicinal properties of plants.
Gennrich said that because the series was not financed by the University, a fee was charged to pay for advertising and presentation costs. Tickets for individual programs are $1.50.
