Stacey said that there was work to be done but no money to pay for it.
"My hope is that the economy will rebound and the apparent surplus of engineers will disassemble."
Terry Paquet, manager of east region recruiting for Dow Chemical Co., said he thought the current drop in recruiting was a short-term problem.
DOW IS NOT cutting back on hire, he said,
but it is cutting back on the number of schools
where it recruits and will recruit more heavily at
schools where it has had success in the past.
"We are hoping the situation will improve when the economy does, but since nobody can see into the economic crystal ball, we cannot say for sure." Paquet said.
Another problem is that companies are becoming more specific about whom they will review. Thomas said. Many companies will not new students with grade p.i.a. averages below 3.0.
Hoffman said Mobl Corp. recruits took some chemical engineering students off the list so that they could interview students with other majors.
FREDERICK MADAUS, placement director for the School of Business, said business students had been facing a similar problem for many years.
Madaus, who was a recruiter before he became the placement director eight years ago, said students had been lining up for interviews for as long as he could remember.
"It's crazy really." Doug Nyberg, Overland Park parker, said.
Madus said, "With good companies there is always a demand, so the lines are usually quick."
Dave McCullough, Comanche, Okla., senior,
said he thought students were signing up for
interviews with most of the companies because
of the tight job market.
"I see a lot of familiar faces when I am up there," McCulloch said.
BUT THE LINES are a lot longer when a sign-up for a large company is stuck in. he said.
"Any company that advertises at a major
corporate event, people," said Thomas

he said. When the market was low last June, it made between 20 and 30 a day, he said.
Market
Harley Catlin, limited partner in Edward D. Jones and Co., 901 Kentucky St., said the volume of stock his company moved had not increased dramatically yet, but would probably increase soon.

"The market isn't really high," he said. "This is one of the cheapest markets we've had. You're silly to put your money somewhere else when you buy the chip stocks at half their historical value."
He said that the market took an average book value of its stocks and that the stocks usually paid $180 per share.
Cattin said the current book value was slightly over 1,000, while the Dow Jones was only 1.012. He said a rise in stock prices would not surprise him.
ALONG WITH unusually low stock prices a large number of the big money handlers, money managers or institutional buyers were coming to the market. As the market up for at least a little while, he said.
There are about 250 money managers with $1
Junius Undewood, resident manager of Kidder Peabody & Co. Inc., 647 Massachusetts St., said that although his company's stock volume was up between 100 percent and 200 percent, he was not sure the market would continue to gain.
"We've had this huge advance," he said. "By almost all historical precedence we should expect some retraction. I would expect it within 30 days."
billion to invest, and it will take at least two months for all that money to get invested," he said.
TRADITIONALLY, the market gains 75 points, loses 30, then gains another 80 when it makes a rally, he said. Gaining several hundred points is not overreaction than real market strength, he said.
"It's important that we remember that the economy is still so weak," he said.
David Ratajcak, Georgia State University economist, told UPI that the weak economy had forced businesses to rely more heavily on international markets and market prices becoming sensitive to interest rates.

Alabama takes top honors during country music show
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Teen sensation Alabama claimed three awards — including entertainer of the year — and Willie Nelson and Ricky Staggys won two awards each last night in the nationally televised 18th annual Country Music Awards show.
Alabama also won instrumental group and vocal group of the year.
Nelson's "Always on My Mind" womens album, and song of the year, an award which goes to the songwriter, while Skags picked up the band's new hit, The Horizon Award for country's emerging stars.
Janie Fricke was named Female Vocalist of the Year.
Music Hall of Fame along with Lefty Frizzell and Roy Horton.
Marty Robbins was inducted into the Country
Co-host Barbara Mandrell, who has won the top entertainer award two years in a row, again was among the five vying for Entertainer of the Year. But even her father, Irby Mandrell, did not think she would win the triple crown. "You got to decide it, your voters might have already decided it time for someone else to win," she said. Miss Mandrell was also nominated for the top female vocalist.
Others competing for awards included Johnny Cash's daughter Rosanne, with three nominations, The Oak Ridge Boys, and George Jones, two-time Male Vocalist of the Year.
Alabama, composed of three cousins and a drummer, burst on the country music scene after 10 years of playing high school dances and discos. The group was also nominated for top single for "Love in the First Degree" and top album.
Premature
reach the 2,300 gram weight needed to go home early next week, his mother, Patricia, said.
She was holding J.C. yesterday afternoon and she smiled at the thought of getting to take him home. She had decided not to return to work, she said, because she wanted to be with him to make up for the time that she had not been able to have him with her.
J. C. WAS BORN Sep. 19, two months premature. The Rectors said they still had two Lamazte classes to attend. Doctors could not give a reason for J.C.'s prematurity. Rector said.
"He was in good shape; he was just too little," his mother said.
Walter said no one knew all the causes for premature birth. He said some babies were intentionally delivered prematurely because of mothers' medical problems. Defects in the babies might also cause premature births, he said.
does not cause Patricia Rector to worry about other pregnancies, she said.
Tom Rector said when they walked past the nursery where the full-term babies were, they looked gigantic compared to J.C. He said one baby he saw weighed 10 pounds, and the Rectors laughed and said they could not imagine J.C. weighing that much.
J C. woke up to smile at his mother, and she hugged him in return.
PATRICIA RECTOR said she was excited because he normally slept while they were there. This concerned her, but she said doctors told her that premature babies needed a lot of sleep.
Masien said babies could not be held until their weight reached 1,800 grams. Until they reach that weight, they do not have good body temperature control.
Walter said babies born before 7½ months' gestation were not mature enough to withstand changes in pressures, which could result from handling them outside their incubators. Sudden
pressure changes can cause bleeding into the ventricles of the brain, he said.
Temperature probes are placed on the baby to monitor body temperature changes, Maslen said. The temperature in the incubator is maintained at 97.7 degrees.
OXYGEN IS critical to the baby and is constantly monitored, Masilen said. She said oxygen was a drug and had to be administered with close supervision.
Maslen said too much oxygen in the blood could cause blindness and an improper balance of oxygen could cause intra-cranial hemorrhages.
Because the condition of a premature baby can change within five to 10 minutes, a laboratory is included in the unit to perform the tests quickly. Maslen said. The lab tests blood gases to measure the amount of the oxygen in the blood, she said.
THE PREMATURE birth of their first child
A PREMATURE BIRTH is a shock to parents, Water said, and the unit's staff works to help them prepare.
The babies' siblings are encouraged to visit the unit on Sunday afternoons, Maslen said. They are not allowed in the room with the babies, but are allowed to view their brothers or sisters through a window.
Rooms are available in the unit for parents who want to stay overnight, Walter said.
Maalen said this helped them to understand that the babies they had been promised were not at all ill.
There is one set of twins — boys — in the unit right now. Walter said having the twins there was a fairly usual occurrence because that sort of birth was a higher risk than others.
THE FIRST-BOTN twin is healthier than the second-born twin, Maslen said. Walter said the twins had twin-twin transfusion — one was anemic and the other had too much blood.
"It's more difficult to deliver twins. The health of the second twin is related to the birth itself."
The second twin is in the womb longer, which creates some problems, he said.
