Jobs on the rise for ROTC graduates
Kansan staff writer
By Craig Lang
Students in the Air Force ROTC program at the University of Kansas have felt the effects of cutbacks in the military in the past few years but that trend is on the decline.
From 1991 to 1993, only 125 pilot and navigator jobs were given to ROTC officers nationwide each year. Of the 375 slots available, none of them were given to KU officers.
Last year, two graduates, lieutenants Rick Karn and Steve Tittel, received pilot slots. This year, with the number of available slots increasing to 440, five more KU officers were awarded with jobs as pilots and navigators.
Karn, who is the assistant to the KU recruiting officer until his training
begins, said job opportunities in ROTC had improved since his freshman year, when he saw seniors getting their flying slots taken away because of cutbacks. Now, he said, the number of jobs available for ROTC officers is rising.
"It's just going to look even better in the future," he said. "Jonathan Darcy."

Cadets Leah Case, Holton senior, and Jenipher Scott, Chatham, Ill., senior, will begin training as pilots after graduation. Newbill said he was looking forward to navigating aircraft. Because his father was in the reserves, Newbill spent much of his childhood watching pilots in
"I knew right there what I wanted to do was fly airplanes," Newbill said.
Karn said the officers were selected because of their superior officers' evaluations of the jobs they held with ROTC, their grades, their experience in field training and their medical records.
Tittel, who is assistant commandant of cadets until his training begins, said that even though the number of open positions was increasing in the Air Force ROTC, the competition for the jobs was high, because there are approximately 120 Air Force ROTC programs across the United States.
"The fact that we got them says a lot for our program," he said.
Newbill said that because few officers had been given flying jobs in the past few years, students in the ROTC program at KU have had to work hard just to get noticed.
Police offer game day tips
KU police are urging those driving to Saturday's KU-Cincinnati football game to be patient and cautious, said Sgt. Rose Rozmiarek of KU police.
Rozmiarek offered the following tips for motorists:
Get to the game early to avoid traffic jams
Know where your parking lot is. Many roads will be blocked off or made one-way streets, so it helps to know where you are going, Rozmiarek said.
Also, the University offers a shuttle service to the game from lot 90, which is adjacent to Robinson Center Gymnasium. Rozmiarek said.
The game starts at 1 p.m.
