Some jobs at KU are done in the sun
By Sean Demory Special to the Kansan
Job opportunities exist on campus, however, for those students who want to stay at the University of Kansas.
Many students use the summer to step away from academia and into the job market.
Job listings at the center,110 Burge Union,range from library work to groundskeeping.
Kip Grosshans, director of personnel for the department of student housing, said that several custodial and maintenance jobs were unfilled. Because of a reduced demand for employees during the summer session, far fewer students are working for housing's major employers —
James Henry, associate director of the University Placement Center, said that fewer departmental jobs are available during the summer due to downsizing.
The Department of Facilities Operations, which maintains the property at KU, has a constant demand for student workers. Bence Williams, assistant director of administration and personnel, said the demand for students was as great during the summer as it was during the rest of the year, although more students were needed for grounds maintenance.
food service and desk labor.
Renee Semarge, Manhattan senior and a former tutor for Supportive Educational Services, said that her summer tutoring job was one of the best she had had.
"The people were really nice; the work was important; and I felt that I was making a difference," Semarge said.
Interested students can call Facilities Operations at 864-5596 or the Department of Student Housing at 864-4560 for more details about job openings.
New shelter to offer animal amenities
By John Collar Special to the Kansan
A feline celebrity will be in Lawrence today to scrape up a few paws of dirt at the groundbreaking of the Lawrence Humane Society's new $600,000 animal shelter.
Finicky television star Morris the Cat will meet the public after the 11:15 a.m. ceremony, which will take place next to the current shelter at 1805 E. 19th St.
The Chicago resident is owned by Heinz Pet Products, which is donating $4,000 to the shelter's construction; 9-Lives Cat Food, a division of Heinz, is donating $1,000.
The 4-year-old, 11-pound tabby has been appearing in 9-Lives Cat Food commercials for less than a year. He is the third cat to star in the ads, which began in 1968.
The shelter will feature a pawprint design on the outside of the building, statues of animals above
the entrance and a canine comfort station consisting of three decorative fire hydrants in front of the building.
The current building is 40 years old and is having serious structural problems, said Melissa Loewenstein, secretary of the Humane Society's board of directors.
"We are hoping that once the new facility is open, adoptions will increase to 85 to 90 percent," Johnson said. The adoption rate is about 65 percent.
Ron Johnson, treasurer of the board of directors, said the building would provide more accessible and more attractive facilities for the public to visit the animals and would help the Humane Society increased animal adoptions.
The city will provide 20 percent of the funds to build the shelter; the county will add another 5 percent. The remaining money will come from private sources.
