CALL 864-4358 TODAY TO PLACE AN AD Students play major role in Special Olympics games Scott Davis, Dallas graduate student, is one of many KU students assisting 1,177 individuals with disabilities in the Kansas Special Olympics Winter Indoor East Games in Lawrence this weekend. By Liz Klinger Kansan staff writer "I get satisfaction out of taking a little time out of each year and helping the community," said Davis, who will referee volleyball games today. Although this is Davis' first year volunteering for the Special Olympics in Lawrence, he helped out with the event for four years as an undergraduate at Seton Hall University in New Jersey. Davis said that he enjoyed the work but did not know if he agreed with the title of the program. "I can see how hard it is to be in that position," Davis said. "Sometimes I don't like the word 'special.' I just feel like that word connotes a lesser person. In some aspects they're not a lesser person. They're the same as you and they. They're just a little different." Senior citizens to children from Eastern Kansas, considered east of Interstate 35, will compete in volleyball at Robinson Center and bowling at Royal Crest Lanes, Ninth and Iowa. There are 25 volleyball teams and 1,115 bowlers, said Mike Miller. assistant games and competition director. Other events include a banquet at Lawrence High School, 1901 Louisiana, a dance at Holcom Sports Complex, 2700 W. 27th St., and a dance and movie at Hillcrest Theatres, Ninth and Iowa The Olympians prepared for the event by undergoing an eight-week training session involving 267 coaches. Each competitor will receive a medal or ribbon for their participation. "It's an avenue to put people who are mentally retarded into a forum where they can fit right into the community as active participants," Miller said. "It helps build their self-esteem and self worth. It gives the community a real respect for the mentally retarded." The East Games are primarily supported by the sponsorship of local businesses and volunteers, the majority of which are college students, Miller said. "Almost every student walks away feeling like they have done something wonderful," said Pam Young, assistant human resources director for the East Games. Dealing with the mentally retarded is a new and positive way of relating to people, said Vered Hankin, Overland Park junior. "I think a lot of the mentally handicapped people I've met before are a lot more affectionate because they don't adhere to societal norms," Hankin said. "They're more willing to express an emotion they have." "I think that it's very easy to get caught up in a lot of self-furthering kinds of things and it's important to give back to the community. I know I'll walk away knowing it was worthwhile." The event gives the community a real respect for the mentally retarded, Miller said. "You get a real special feeling out of volunteering for this sort of thing," Miller said. "It's just a real positive experience to work with Special Olympics and the athletes." Career fair not exclusively for social welfare majors By Kathleen Stone Kansan staff writer The School of Social Welfare is sponsoring a career fair today, but social welfare students are not the only ones invited. Because the field of social work is so broad, many other majors, such as psychology or sociology, also may find career opportunities. "A lot of students come into the field not recognizing the breadth of opportunity they have," Jess said. "This way, they can talk face to face with people working in the field." Ann Hartley, assistant director of the University Placement Center, spent the past month compiling survey statistics about last spring's social welfare graduates from KU. That variety translates into more jobs. And the number is increasing. Social workers deal with a variety of groups, including the elderly, abused children and the homeless. They work in the public sector, including the military and schools, and in the private sector, including hospitals and in-home care services. Hartley said she could not compare the statistics to other years because the center just began conducting the surveys for the school. But she said she thought that the market was as good if not better than in the past. According to her findings, 96 percent of the students with master's degrees had jobs or were not looking. For students with bachelor's degrees, 70 percent were employed, in graduate school or not looking. The survey had about a 76 percent response rate from the master's recipients and about 57 percent from the bachelor's recipients. A growing elderly population along with increasing social problems are two factors which may be creating more jobs in social welfare, Hartley said. But while such conditions may increase job security in the private sector, it could strain funding for public institutions, she said. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the number of social welfare jobs is expected to increase faster than the overall average of other occupations through 2005. Today's career fair also gives students a chance to prepare for future employment through internships, which can benefit both students and employers, Hartley said. What you can do Students interested in careers in or related to social welfare can attend the School of Social Welfare's career fair tomorrow. The fair, which features about 60 social welfare agencies, is from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Kansas Union Ballroom. KANSAN "It benefits the students because they get learning experience and it benefits the employer because they get to see how you work before they hire you," she said. Angela Holoubek, Hutchinson senior, said her internship at the SRS office in Wyandotte County was good preparation. "If I would go into the real world without it, I would be totally lost," she said. "It'd be really scary."
