Despite the educational concerns of Roskam and Muirhead, most KU aerospace graduates have little problem finding jobs with either industry or military defense contractors.

Muirhead estimated that 40 percent of the aerospace graduates go directly to industry and 30 percent go to the armed forces. The remaining 30 percent enroll in graduate school, he said.
aerospace engineering, said most KU aerospace graduates during the last two or three years had found jobs with contractors such as General Dynamics Corp., which manufactures aircraft for the military.
"The federal government has put more money into the acquisition of military hardware," he said, adding that this fact made job opportunities more plentiful.
However, Downing also said that job opportunities in the general aviation aircraft industry, which
manufactures small aircraft, had fallen into a temporary decline during the last four or five years and that small plane sales were down.
The price of small airplanes had increased, he said, because manufacturers paid about one-third of their plane manufacturing costs for liability insurance.
Muirhead said KU was one of six schools to receive a grant last summer through the University Space Research Association to work on the commuter plane project.

Pan Am officials in Karachi and the U.S. Consulate estimated about 380 passengers on board Flight 73, which was to stop in Frankfurt, West Germany, after Karachi. Anil Bataza, Pan Am manager in Bombay, said there were 387 passengers.
In New York, Pan Am spokeswoman Ann Whyte said 284 passengers were on board. It was not immediately clear why there was a discrepancy in the number of passengers.

One of the U.S. cockpit crew members, who spoke to The Associated Press by telephone from the airport operations center, said it did not appear anyone on the plane had been hurt.
The crew member, who asked not to be identified, said the plane's two pilots and flight engineer had escaped through an emergency hatch as soon as they heard shots.
"We just got out," the crew member said.
"Many of us feel the petroleum field will rebound. Probably not in the near future, but in the next few years," said Locke.
Locke said he expected the oil industry to recover but added that it was difficult to predict when job opportunities would increase for petroleum engineers.

Leading Edge Model D:
Captures community with power and compatibility
LAWRENCE. KS—Faculty, students and the business community have been flocking to a new IBM-compatible computer—the Leading Edge Model “D”. This remarkable PC is perhaps the “hottest” selling PC in town.
Sold locally by Computer Outlet,804 New Hampshire Street, the Model "D" has been built with the best features of many of its competitors. It comes standard with 2 disk drives, 512K, parallel and serial ports, plenty of expansion slots, DOS 3.1 and ever a clock calendar. Best of all, the Model "D" includes a high resolution (720 X 350) monitor with graphics capability. Most PCs would require an additional $495 board to achieve this combination. And if this weren't enough, the unit has a built-in color board as well if ever you want to use an RGB monitor.
The Leading Edge Model "D" Personal Computer $1295. Complete.
Oh, yes, all this is just $1295-almost exactly half the cost of a comparably equipped IBM XT. The hard drive model is $1895.
The Leading Edge Model "D" includes a powerful word processor. Usually this offer means that you get the old version of some now-unpopular program. Quite the contrary here. You get Leading Edge's very own, high rated, word processor; at no extra charge. Inside, the Leading Edge is well thought out. The main board can accommodate a full 748K. It has full size expansion slots and is socketted for the 8087 chip. It even has a 130 watt power supply to support this machine growth. To prove its reliability, the Model "D" comes with a full 15 month warranty.
Now available with 30mb for $1995.
The Leading Edge Model "D" PC: compatible computer will sell at $1295 for four slots, up to 748K memory.
