Work-study jobs available soon
By TERESA RIORDAN Staff Reporter
Students weathering the first weeks of school without jobs because the financial aid office over allocated its work-study budget last spring may
"We still have a big deficit, but after we drop people who aren't planning to use the program, we will have more resources," the director of financial aid, said yesterday.
Clauntha McCurdy, work-study counselor, said that the program already dropped 78% people and it included 130-200 students in the next few weeks.
"About 300 of the students awarded work study currently have work-study jobs, but a lot of people who said they did not, just haven't shown up." McCurd said.
SOME STUDENTS get off-campus jobs or decide not to work, but the financial aid office still has them listed for work study, she said.
The financial aid office will send a notice this week warning students that they will be dropped from the program not come to the office immediately.
Because the financial aid office can not predict how many students will work with you, they will work. it grounds about twice the amount available, according to Rogers.
"We have gone out on a limb the past two years and awarded twice the
amount available, assuming that about
56 percent would drop out," Rogers did.
"In the past we have come out about even, but in the future, we probably won't."
Since the federal government pays four-fifths of a student's work-study salary, the program is particularly attractive to University departments, which have to pay only the remaining fifth.
STUDENTS ARE awarded work-study grants on the basis of need. The program pays minimum wage for up to 15 hours a week.
Because a lot of students found no awards available when they arrived this fall, several departments have had trouble locating work-study employees.
it had over allocated," said Jeanne
Steffey, math office manager.
"Normally we have two students on work study, but this year, the students who applied and were eligible couldn't get awards from financial aid because
"We have worked it out, but we have to pay them out of the department fund until Sept. 15."
GEORGIANA TORRES, assistant to the dean of engineering, said she had been unable to fill a work-study position for several weeks.
"Two people did come in, but by the time we stopped accepting applications, they had already found other jobs," she said.
"We've had dozens of students apply for the non-work study jobs, though."
Bence Williams, personnel director for facilities and operations, said several positions were still available with facilities and operations.
"I'd encourage more people to apply,
be our work study and otherwise," he said.
"We have had the jobs posted but not that many people have shown up."

Demographic trends signal dangers to education 'as we have known it'
Current events and demographic trends suggest that public education is in danger, said Dale Scannell, director of the Satellite Union, last night at the Satellite Union.
Scannell, the first speaker in a series of faculty lectures sponsored by the KU School of Education Student Organization, listed several signals that he said were "threats of education as we have known."
when parents of school-age children are in the minority of tax-paying adults," he said. "The number of people being interested in public service down somewhere around one-fifth to one-third of the tax-paying public.
"We are now in a period of time
"The question is whether we will be willing to educate the children of somebody else."
The effects of inflation on the older age group are also threatening education, Scannell said.
"It seems to me that as inflation increases over the next few years, the older age group will be in the position to oppose all forms of social spending." Scanland said. "They will be using education in funding for public education."
Scannell said that another danger signal was declining confidence in schools and those who staff them.
"I think teachers have caused part of the erosion of public confidence," he said.
