working environments, to see what they like."
Lawrence has five personnel services that utilize temporary workers. Most local agencies divide their job listings into clerical and light-industrial positions.
Temp agencies offer options
Under law, agencies cannot charge a fee to a job applicant.
Students seeking employment can consult services
Each agency has its own application process. The agencies also conduct evaluations or skills tests to match the applicant with the agency's corporate clients.
Ann Hartley, assistant director at the University placement center, said temporary employment agencies considered both present college students and recent graduates good candidates for their job pools. She said that several temporary agencies participated in the placement center's recent job fair.
Jill Woodworth, Lenexa senior, worked as a temporary employee through an agency after her high school graduation.
"They know they are getting high quality workers," she said.

Hartley pointed out that there were advantages to a job with a temporary employment agency.
"I didn't really have a major, and I needed money," Woodworth said.
Lori MacDonald, office supervisor at ADIA Personnel Services, 110 E. Ninth St., said her company saw many new graduates as well as current students.
For employees who have worked more than a certain number of hours, many agencies offer health, life and disability insurance benefits.

"I'd love to have a turnout like this for my class.",
Frost-Mason said, opening the meeting. "Students always ask me, 'What can I do with my degree?' and I say, 'What do you want to do with it?'
With different levels of education, Frost-Mason said students could become educators, lab technicians, and sales and legal consultants.
"If you are working for the temp agency and you have a problem with the company, then there is someone else you can go to," she said.

"There are opportunities out there," she said. "But you have to be creative with it and aggressively seek them out."
Sally Frost-Mason, professor of physics and cell biology and biological sciences, spoke to more than 100 new members of the Bio club about what they can do with their biology degrees. Frost-Mason is also acting dean of liberal arts and sciences.
For the first time in ten years, the biology program has a club. And at its first meeting last night, discussion focused on jobs.
Jose Miranda, Manhattan junior and club president, said the group would participate in activities such as lectures, picnics, community service and tutoring programs for college and high school students.
Biology majors form new group

House hears testimony on concealed weapons
Legislators share views about Kansas legislation
By John Collar Kansan staff writer
TOPEKA — Witnesses brought their rhetorical firepower to a House committee meeting yesterday that was considering whether concealed weapons should be allowed in Kansas.
The bill would permit citizens who have passed a background check to carry a concealed pistol, handgun or revolver. After passing the check, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation would issue a license valid for four years. The bill would require applicants to complete a weapons safety and training course.
"It would be a positive step forward for public safety in Kansas," said David Kopel, an attorney from Boulder, Colo. He said the murder rate in Florida had fallen since the passage of a concealed weapons law.
Supporters of the measure contended that citizens should be allowed to protect themselves. They cited statistics that crime has dropped in some states with a similar law.
"It's a suggestion that the Florida law saved lives but not proof of it," Copel said.
Opponents of the bill said it was a dangerous
State Rep. David Adkins, R-Leawood, said that many of the arguments presented by proponents of the bill were flawed and inconclusive. He said that crime had gone down last year in Kansas and that the causes of this drop were hard to determine. Republican voters do not support the measure, he said.
and unnecessary remedy to crime.
Last year, a similar measure passed the House but was defeated in the Senate. One of the new provisions in this year's bill stipulates that local communities could not adopt their own weapons ordinances.
"We have become a frightened society with a vigilant mentality," said John Estes of Paola, representing the Mainstream Coalition, an organization against the ordinance. "Most members of the community are opposed to this frightening and dangerous legislation."
Based on statistics from other states, Ballou estimated that about 2 percent of Kansans would apply for a license.
State Rep. John Ballou, R-Gardner, who is a co-sponsor of the measure, responded that the bill would make people feel more secure.
"It's not an issue that has great resonance," Addkins said.
The committee is scheduled to hear additional testimony on Monday and could possibly recommend final action on the bill.
