Students work to help others
Competition stiff for admission to social welfare grad program
By Benjamin W. Allen
'I won't be able to help everyone, but I might be able to help them harness the strength they have within them.'
The graduate program in the School of Social Welfare may not lead to the highest-paying jobs available for graduate students, but competition for getting into the school is steep.
Kansan staff writer
Luke McQuade Lawrence graduate student
One reason for the competition may be the fact that the University of Kansas is the only institution in the country where the degree graduate in social welfare.
Luke McQuade
But often what it comes down to is the desire of the applicants not to gain monetarily but to help others.
The School of Law has a comparable application rate, with 1.070 applications for 180 positions, about 5.9 applicants for every position.
"You could speculate why, but we have no real explanation," Black said. "Perhaps it is because the economy is in difficulty, or because people are recognizing the problems of drugs and homelessness, for example. You name it, social workers have a role."
Edith Black, assistant dean of social welfare, said applications at social welfare programs were up across the country.
Black said the school had received ab 700 applications for the 125 positions in the graduate program, or about 5.5 applications for each spot.
Luke McQuade, Lawrence graduate student, said he was in the Social Welfare graduate program solely because of his idealism.
"By becoming a social worker, I can try to make the world a better place than it is," he said. "I have a vision of change and equality. It's disturbing to see that one in four children live below the poverty line, that women earn 68 cents for every dollar a man earns, that 50 percent of all single Black mothers live in poverty."
"I won't be able to help everyone, but I might be able to help them harness the strength they have within them."
Mequnde said that because he was relatively young for the program, he didn't want to take on his job.
"It surely isn't money, it a vision that society can be a better place."
he said.
Joni Brophy, another graduate student in the program, said she knew she needed a master's degree to learn more about social work and to have a better chance to choose where she worked.
"I could see I really enjoyed and had the capabilities to work in social service," she said. "I wanted to learn about social policy and the intricacies of it, being involved like being involved in the helping profession or service to people."
Brophy said her current internship at a Lawrence elementary school was particularly rewarding because she is able to deal with problems rather than intervention.
"In the school, I deal with all types of children from every background because everybody has to go to school," she said. "There's a lot of preventive work that can be done, from how to prevent them from dropping out, or from getting pregnant, or from being involved with drugs and crime."
Brophy said social work positions in schools were some of the betterpaid positions in the social-work field.
"Starting salary is roughly $25,000, but there is little chance once you get into it," she said. "We aren't going to get that much, but we love what we do."
Black said the job market was good for graduates of the program. A survey of May 1990 graduates found jobs within two months.
"More people are changing careers in mid-life," she said. "Many people are changing their degrees. Lawyers, people with master's in business, even a few Ph.Ds. are earning graduate degrees in social welfare."
MeQuade said that he was unsure about the job market in social work because of the recession and budget cuts. "I was optimistic about finding a job."
"It depends on what the government is committed to," he said. "The war and the savings and loan bailout didn't help. Social work programs are just not high on our government's priority list."
Fire leaves U.S. embassy short on space
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — Eleven days after fire badly damaged the U.S. embassy in the Soviet capital, U.S. diplomats are working in makehift quarters so cramped that some may be forced to move into a bowling alley.
Some embassy employees are blaming U.S. officials for ignoring their warnings that the building was a fire hazard, and the embassy is investigating what happened to some diplomatic papers and hundreds of cash reported to have disappeared during the March 28 blaze.
The fire also adds fuel to the controversy over the eight-story, red-brick office tower that was built
to house the new embassy — but was never occupied because it is riddled with Soviet listening devices.
No one was seriously hurt in the fire, which was traced to a welding soak in an elevator shaft.
Although the embassy is hard up for space because of the fire damage, it will not use the unoccupied new minister's counselor for management.
That is because under reciprocity rules, Soviet diplomats could then use their new compound in Washington, which they were barred from occupying after the bugging problem was solved at the new U.S. building in Moscow.
For now, dozens of U.S. diplomats
are packed into an auditorium down the hill from the building that burned. Others are working in a converted lounge.
"Crammed is not the word," one diplomat said. Like others interviewed, he spoke on condition of anonymity.
One embassy worker said a small bowling alley on the new compound would be converted into an office. Embassy representative Jim Bullock declined to confirm that, but said, "Nothing is sacred. Everything is up for examination."
Other embassy employees worry that security was breached when dozens of Soviet firefighters entered
the old building.
One embassy worker called it "the worst scenario: dozens of Soviets running around with open safes containing classified documents in the most sensitive areas of the embassy."
Hulings said that U.S. Marine guards confiscated Rolodex files from some of the firefighters and that papers were missing from his own desk.
Adding to the pressure on the diplomats, President Bush is due in Moscow for a long-delayed meeting with Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev sometime before the end of June.
