Resume computer eases job hunt
By CRAIG HERRMANN
KU students may have a better chance of finding a job this year thanks to a new computerized resume system in the business placement office.
The University of Kansas began using the Vita-Quik computerized resume system this semester. The system makes filing and access to a student's resume easier for the University and for prospective employers, said Frederick Madaus, director of KU's business placement office.
Students may benefit from the computerized system, he said, because resume information will be stored on computer disks, which are more convenient for employers to sort through than resume books.
Resume books are traditionally mailed to companies at the beginning of each school year.
"There are usually 450 or 500 students listed in each book," he said. "Who knows, an employer might not want to read through 500 pages looking for just those people who fit the company's needs."
For a $3 fee, any students may become listed on the VitaQuk system. Once on the system, the student's resume information is made easily accessible to potential employers.
flood of resume books.
He said student's resumes also could get lost in a
Madua also noted that a student's computerized data sheet could be updated at any time, an impossibility with resume books.
He said that the school printed a resume book this year but that he thought the VitaQuik system would eventually replace the book. Students must pay a $25 fee to become listed in the resume book. He said the computerized resume system also may be able to cut recruiting costs for some
"Instead of sending recruiters to a college campus with no idea of how many interested students are on that campus, the company can simply send a computer disk with their needs on it to us." Madaus said. "We can then put the disk into our system and let the computer automatically find those students who fit the company's qualifications."
He said the disk would be returned to the company's recruiters, who could scan the resumes and decide whether to visit the campus.
John Tollefson, dean of business, said the system helped students plan interview schedules with potential employers.
"Dean Tollefson and I talked about the system and we decided that we needed one." Madaus said.
"It's a good system, and students planning to enter the job market should know about it," Tollefson said.
Madaus said he had first heard about the Vita-Quik system in September, 1985 at a Midwest College Placement Association meeting in Cleveland.
He said the school was able to draw the support of several companies to help pay for the $20,000 system. Among the supporters were Hallmark Cards, Payless Cashways Building Materials and Arthur Andersen and Company, a public accounting firm.
The VitaQuik computerized resume system is marketed by the College Placement Council in Bethlehem, Penn.
Groups to present housing proposals

Some student housing groups have formulated contract proposals for the 1987-88 school year to present at the first meeting tomorrow of the Residential Programs Advisory Board.
RPAB decides on specific terms of contracts for the residence halls, scholarship halls, Jayhawker Towers apartments, Stouffe Place, Sunflower apartments and Sprague apartments.
The Association of University Residence Halls will present four proposals at the meeting. The proposals were approved at the general assembly of AURH on Oct. 7
One of AURH's main proposals concerns the upperclassman status of McCollum Hall AURH recommends that student housing reserve the upper floors of McCollum for a longer period of time for graduate and upperclassmen during the fall semester. Drew Blossom, AURH president, said at the meeting that it would help foreign students who sometimes have to come to the University later in the semester.
AURH also will recommend
that, as a long-term option, one of the other, smaller halls be reclassified as an all- upperclassmen hall.
AURH also wants Kenneth Stoner, director of student housing, to ask parking services to improve the extension parking lot west of Iowa Street.
The proposal also will ask the student housing department to talk to parking services about the parking problems at Joseph R. Pearson, Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin and Oliver halls.
John Miller, president of the All Scholarship Hall Council, said that the council didn't have any contract proposals. But he said he expected the rates, for scholarship halls to increase slightly.
Jayhawk Towers will propose a new contract payment system similar to the residence halls, said Jeff Brown, president of the Jayhawk Towers' Tenants Association.
Instead of paying a pro-rated August rent, tenants will pay full rent in July and August, will skip payment in September, pay full rent during all the other months following except for January and May.
Some may find clothes at all The Right Price
By TONY BALANDRAN
Clothing customers looking for a bargain might find it at The Right Price. 1601 W. 23rd St. in Southern Hills Mall.
A grand opening is scheduled for 10 a.m. tomorrow at The Right Price, a division of Gateway Apparel. Lawrence Mayor Sandra Praeger will appear for a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
This new Lawrence business is offering its customers a chance to purchase their favorite fashion name products for $12.99 or less, said Nina Sosko. Olatte resident and store manager.
The store, which offers merchandise in juniors' and misses' clothing at substantial savings, opened Saturday.
Some of the brand names in the store include Forenza, Gitano, Smart Parts, Brittania, Limited Express and Happy Legs.
Gateway Apparel, which owns and supplies merchandise for the store, buys from the manufacturers in large quantities, Sosko said, which allows The Right Price to offer clothing at low prices and still make a profit.
"We don't pick sizes or colors," she said, "and we don't have the option to send clothing back to the manufacturer." However, she said, the merchandise is first quality.
Gateway Apparels also owns and purchases clothing for other stores in the Midwest including Fashion Gals, Tempo Fashion and Fascination.
One reason why the Lawrence store is able to offer all its products at $12.99 and under is that they do not offer layaways, cash refunds or merchandise credit, said Bonnie Harvey, district manager.
Because of the elimination of these options, Harvey said, the store does not have to keep much extra clothing in stock.
The store offers even exchange privileges, Sosko said, to keep customers satisfied.
"Because of the low prices, it's easy to find something to exchange with," she said.
For example, a Limited Express sweater which sells regularly for $42, is available at The Right Price for $12.99.
"The sweater comes from the same manufacturer that other stores get it from." Sosko said.
"I anticipate a lot of people because I think we have a good deal," she said.
The store's hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. Sunday.

Gloria O'Dell, spokesman for Docking, said her boss already adopted an ethics program when the governor issued his two executive orders. She labeled Hayden's actions as political chicaneam and a desperate attempt for attention in the waning days before the election.

Non-alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and literature about the effects of drugs and alcohol will be available during the kick-off event
These programs in the halls are only part of the plans for Alcohol Awareness Week. Lorna Zimmer, director of the Student Assistance Center, said the week would begin at 11:25 a.m. Monday in front of Wescoe Hall.
During the week the feature films will be shown 22 different times on campus and in the residence halls. Zimmer said. Students who come to the movies will receive questionnaires about alcohol in their lives.
Hayden also called on Tom Docking, his Democratic opponent, to make a similar pledge, apparently not aware the Carlin-Docking administration already implemented its regulations governing state employee political activities.
WICHITA — Mike Hayden said yesterday he would impose a code of political conduct of state employees to draw a clear line between the official duties of bureaucrats and their off-duty political activities if he's elected governor in November.

have activities planned. The activities include a "Mocktail Party" and programs on alcoholism in the family.
Hayden's nine-point plan is similar to a seven-page executive order issued in 1983 by Gov. John Carlin, which was reiterated by the governor in a three-page memo distributed in August to all state agencies under his jurisdiction.
In a Wichita news conference, Hayden, the Republican nominee for governor, said he developed the code after he witnessed continued executive misuse and abuse of state government for political purposes over the last 3 years. However, his press secretary could offer no specific examples of abuse cited by the candidate.
