Public airs views on S. African rule
By Tim Hrenchir
Their styles were different but their messages were the same: KU students and faculty are concerned about the situation in South Africa.
The University Senate Human Relations Committee conducted the first round of public hearings on South Africa last night in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union.

The committee heard statements from eight groups and individuals. The hearings continue tonight with nine speakers scheduled to present their views.

The South African government follows a policy of apartheid, which is legalized racial segregation.
Chris Bunker, Shawne third-year law student and president of the KU Committee on South Africa, told the human relations committee that his committee was frustrated with the

lack of communication with the Kansas University Endowment Association
"We've sat in, we've protested, we've educated, we've worked politically," Bunker said. "At this point, I don't know what else we can do.
In the past year, some students and faculty members have protested the Endowment Association's ties to companies that do business in South Africa.
"This is the kind of issue that really sets people on fire. There is nothing more obvious than apartheid is the wrongest thing you've ever seen."

Bunker suggested the University take legal action to prove that the Endowment Association is not a separate entity from the University. Therefore, he said, the Endowment Association would be forced to abide by the wishes of faculty and students.

Careers
Interns give up school vacations to gain experience for future jobs

In today's highly competitive world, college students need more than high GPAs to get ahead.
of placement-office officials;
the more experience, the better.
Employers want people with experience. That's the consensus
For several years, students have been foregoing vacations and jobs that pay well during the summer to take lower-paying internship jobs in their career fields. But only recently have students considered giving up their Christmas and spring vacations to work.
Students can try to find internships on their own or they can go through the placement offices. The University Placement Office works with students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the School of Education and graduate students.
The other schools have their own placement offices.
"Internships are important," said Ralph Crowder, graduate assistant in the University Placement Center. "They help students clarify expectations and gain invaluable experience."
Dana Leibengood, associate dean of the School of Journalism, said the school had offered an internship program during Christmas break for about 15 years. Last Christmas, about 180 students were placed. he said.
Most of the other placement offices on campus do not have special programs for internships between semesters, but it is possible for interested students to find work. Crowder said.
employers to take someone on such a short-term period," he said. "but it can be done.
"It is a little unusual for
"If we can open some doors, offer some resources and get people started in the right direction, that's great. But it's really up to the students."
Marsha Mitchell, college relations representative for Hallmark Corp., Kansas City, Mo., said her company did not have a policy for hiring students during Christmas and spring breaks.
"In the past, several students have asked to work during Christmas or spring break, but so far we have no policy for these types of internships," she said. "But just because we haven't done it in the past, doesn't mean that we won't in the future."
Certain types of students are more likely to find an internship during a school break because of their personalities, Crowder said.
"Short-term employment is possible, but it takes a highly
motivated student," he said.
"Often students don't see the long-term advantage of working during a break."
Leibengood said students with journalism internships during Christmas break earned academic credit, not a salary.
One of the best aspects of the Christmas break internship program is the opportunity for employers to see students working, he said, and not just in an interview.
"Often a student will be offered a paid summer internship at the same place he or she works during semester break," Leibengood said. "We've even had some people who took a full-time job."
Employers look for people who are aggressive, assertive and ready to barter salary for exposure, Crowder said.
"They have to make the employers want to hire them for such a short period of time," he said.
