Student Senate's vacation delayed to address creation of Big 12 lobby
Extra meeting scheduled for Dec.4 to clear agenda
By Spencer Duncan
Kansan staff writer
The Student Senate Executive Staff has ordered the Senate to do a little more work before the semester ends.
During their staff meeting, the officers called an emergency Senate meeting to be held at 6 p.m. Dec. 4. The last officially scheduled meeting of the semester was Wednesday.
"There were some issues and resolutions that needed to be passed, so we called this meeting," said Jamie Johnson, student body vice-president.
Three resolutions and one bill remain on Senate's agenda. They had been scheduled to be discussed at the last meeting but were not addressed because not enough senators remained at the meeting's end.
Wednesday's meeting began at 7 p.m. and ended at 11:45 p.m. when graduate senator Jason Anglian asked that the meeting be adjourned because only 38 of 67 senators remained in attendance.
Kevin Lafferty, SenEx chairman, said the emergency meeting would resolve a few issues.
The Senate then adjourned for the semester. But this week officers decided that the remaining agenda items needed to be addressed.
"Things have to get done before the break," Lafferty said. "We have some things that need addressed before, so that they can be worked on over the next month."
Lafferty and Johnson said that Senate needed
to address the creation of a Big 12 Conference Lobbying Alliance. A resolution is before Senate to support Student Body President Grey Montgomery in his effort to join a lobbying group with other Big 12 student body presidents.
Lafferty said the meeting should not be a big deal, but that it was necessary for Senate to get things done.
"Grey wanted to work on it over the break, but he couldn't do that until the Senate looked at the resolution," Johnson said. "That will be done in this meeting, and then Grey and the other presidents can work on it."
"Senators are willing to come in for another meeting," Lafferty said. "Besides, it is going to start at 6 and should be a short meeting. We want to get done early because the KU-Cincinnati basketball game is that night, and everyone wants to watch it."
Industries don't plan to cut work force
Study shows healthy job market does exist
By Neal Shulenburger Kansan staff writer
Getting a job just got a little easier, according to a study released yesterday by Manpower, Inc.
Manpower, Inc., the nation's largest temporary staffing business, found in a survey that 21 percent of 16,000 companies plan to increase hiring in the first three months of 1997. Only 11 percent expect staff reductions, and 68
percent either planned no changes or didn't know.
Education, which includes private and public schools, and durable goods manufacturing — companies that make long-lasting items such as computers or cars — were the industries where the most new jobs are expected to be created.
Ann Hartley, assistant director of the University Placement Center, said she was not surprised to see education at the head of the list.
"There's always a demand for people in certain areas of education," Hartley said. "People are always looking for special education, math, science and foreign lan-
She said that the placement center's survey of education students who entered the job market in 1995 showed that at least 65 percent of the students found jobs. However, many students did not respond to the survey, and the true number therefore may be higher, she said.
Hartley advised job seekers not to be picky about where they worked.
"The only reason we don't place 100 percent is that everyone wants to stay in this area," she said.
Jessica Harbrecht, Prairie Village senior, will earn her bachelor's degree in education. Despite the three-month limitation of the Manpower prediction, she said she was encouraged by it.
"Next year I'm going into student teaching, but any increase is good news," Harbrecht said. "I actually want to leave the state. But, because I want to do grade school education, I still don't think I can be too picky . There are usually 50 people applying for one job."
Wholesalers and retailers are typically the quickest to cut jobs once the new year begins. The Manpower survey, however, showed only 17 percent of them planned job cuts. That is the lowest figure for the first three months of the year in that sector in 20 years.
