National engineer shortage doesn't affect KU program
By Jonathan Plummer Special to the Kanean
The nation faces a shortage of new engineers, but the number of graduates from the KU School of Engineering has not declined, department officials said.
Rolf said the decrease of 17 students represented a normal fluctuation.
The number of engineering firms in the Topeka and Kansas City areas and the reputation of the school and its recruitment programs help stabilize KU enrollment, said Stan Rolfie, chairman of civil engineering.
In a December ceremony, 110 engineering students received bachelor's or master's degrees, compared with 85 and 64, according to the school's records.
However, a 1988 report by the National Resource Council stated that U.S. universities produced at least
5,000 fewer engineering graduates in 1988 than in 1984.
The decline comes at a time when more engineers will be needed, said Thomas Mulinazzi, associate dean of engineering. Streets, sewers and other public utilities, especially in East Coast cities, are deteriorating or outdated and soon will need to be repaired or improved.
Also, many engineers trained through the GI Bill after World War II now are retiring, and the number of graduates is not high enough to replace them, he said.
Rolfe said that even junior high school students should know more about engineering careers.
To help fill this gap, more women and minorities, groups with traditionally low representation in the field, must enter and complete engineering programs, he said.
"We need to inform students of the opportunities in engineering fields," Rolfe said. "Engineering has the ability to really make a difference. I don't think junior high students are aware of this."
Florence E. Boldridge, director of SCorMEBE, an assistance center for minority students in engineering, said the University of Kansas and five other colleges composed a consortium to recruit high school minorities for engineering. The program sends university students to speak to high school minority students about opportunities in engineering.
Many students entering college are discouraged from studying engineering because of a lack of high school physics, chemistry or advanced math courses, Mulinazzi said. Students frequently seek what they perceive as easier degrees.
"High school kids have been told to go to business," Mulinazi said.
City recycling project questionable
By Eric Gorski
City-sponsored curbside recycling is not in Lawrence's near future, a recycling official said yesterday.
Patricia Marvin, part-time city recycling coordinator, said that although curbside recycling was the most efficient way to recycle, some questions, such as marketing possibilities and landfill locations, needed to be addressed before the city attempted to operate such a program.
In curbside programs, recyclable goods are picked up at people's homes.
"Cities all over are trying to devise some way to do it," Marvin said. "It's just going to take some time to see if it can be done efficiently."
River City, a privately owned business, is the only service in Lawrence that offers curbside recycling.
can be done immediately. Until then, the burden of curbside collecting in Lawrence falls on Mark Akin and John Hebert of River City Recycling Co., 716 E. Ninth St.
"The city is getting some pressure." Hebert said about beginning a curbside program. "If it wasn't for the service we provide, there would be a lot more. We're taking some of the heat off."
For each ton of material recycled, River City saves the city $9.90 in landfill fees, Akin and Hebert said. Manpower, energy bills and machinery for curbside collection would increase costs to the city.
A city-sponsored program would be most successful if it integrated curbside pick-up with other recycling methods such as buy-back and drop-off recycling, Marvin said.
Martin agreed that River City's service took some pressure off the city. She said the company could provide an example for a future recycling project.
An example of buy-back recycling is the trading of aluminum cans for cash, Marvin said. The trading price yesterday was 30 cents a pound at Dillons Food Stores.
In drop-off recycling, recyclers leave their goods in designated boxes.
