ollege graduates not finding meaningful johs “

Some jobs

see increase

By Kara Fltzgerald

Contributing lVriter

Damian Caudell never envi-
sioned becoming a theater manag-
er or being stuck in a dead-end
job. His once perceived starting
point has lasted for years.

Caudell is a manager at Show-
case Cinemas in Erlan er, Ky. His
job provides him witl§ a sense of
security and stability, plus paying
the bills.

However, his job pays extreme—
ly little, des ite his managerial
skills and the liours he puts in dur-
ing a week. The job requires his
complete attention, which leaves
him no time to focus on his real
dream of becoming an artist.

He studied art in college and
had every intention of finding a
related job, but instead he experi-
enced the same fate many UK
graduates may face. What hap-
pened to getting a degree that
correlates with one’s future job? Is

this a national trend that is expect-
ed to last throughout the first few
years of the decade?

Gini Barlow, an employee at
Judy’s Temp Service, has seen this
trend increase over the years. She
speaks with many UK graduates
t rough her job. She said gradu-
ates come to her temp service with
various degrees, but are often
placed in jobs that differ from
their schooling.

“I’ve seen people come in here
with art/advertising de rees who
are placed in office jobs ecause of
the needs of the job market,” Bar-
low said.

She said she firmly believes this
service is a good starting point for
graduates. It is a place to gain con-
nections and experience in the
“real world”.

Kellie Clark, a communications
junior, fears that her efforts in
obtaining a degree may be useless
in the future.

“I would hate to think I was
spendin all this time and money
for a cofle e degree that will not
be demanded by the job market,”
Clark said.

In the job series that ran in the
Lexington Herald—Leader on

27, 1996, Alan Greenspan talked
about how the American people
are worried about the job market.

“This sense ofjob insecurity is
so dee) that many workers ear
their a ility to make ends meet in
the future, many appear trul com
cerned about a prospective ecline
in their standard of living,” said
Greenspan, the chairman of the
Federal Reserve Board.

According to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, the labor force is
projected to increase by 12 cr—
cent before the year 2005. 'I otal
employment is projected to
increase by 14 ercent as well.

However, t is is slower than
the 24 ercent increase between
the 198 ~94 period. The statistics
predict employment'will increase
in occupations requmng various
amounts of education and train-
ing.

Over the 1994—2005 eriod,
growth rates will range om 5
percent for occupations requiring
a master’s degree.

Even categories that generally
require an associate degree or
more education are pro'ected to
grow faster than the I percent
average of all occupations.

Occupations that require on—
the-job training should grow the

  

   

slowest. jobs requiring the least
education and training will pro-
vide the most openings, but offer
the lowest pay.

According to the Bureau of

Labor Statistics, service producing
industries will account for virtual—
ly all ofjob growth.
Manufacturing's share of the
total jobs is expected to decline, as
a decrease of 1.3 million manufac—
turing jobs is expected. Health

was held yesterday afternoon at the Lafayette Club.
About 30 UK students organized the luncheon and

Merchandising senior Renee Griffin, one of the
show coordinators, stood confidently in the tiny
room, helpin with last minute details. For the past

fin’s phone calls died down at 12:30 a.m.

“I didn’t know what to do with myself,” Griffin
said. “So, I popped in a movie. Now, it’s pay—off
time."

remind the girls to keep it down. This was not an

“It was a vicious fire. There's really not too

Clues to what caused the accident could come
from the cockpit voice recorder taken from the
commuter plane. Unlike a jetliner, it had no flight

Circle at love children
enlist llll's help tor gills

By Jennller Smith
Stofl H’riter

With the holiday season fast
approaching, UK faculty are join-
ing together in the spirit ofgiving
to make Christmas a little
brighter for some Fayette County
youth.

T-he Circle of Love, a program
started ten years ago, has provid-
ed Christmas gifts to over 6,150
local children.

Several similar programs that
fulfill underprivileged children's
wish lists and dreams are in the
area, like Angel Trees in malls.

The children who receive gifts
are chosen by the Fayette County
School district counselors.

“We figure out how many kids
we are going to sponsor, then
contact the schools, and they
make a list of how many kids
receive free school lunches.”
Chair of Distribution and Collec-
tion Monica Mehanna said.

'“Based on how many children

.--.~._-~NW-.4 . 7.
.

...

need sponsored from each school,
we determine how many kids we
can accept from each school.”
UK Lexington Campus, which
plans to distribute gifts to 655
children, joined the program in
1987, although Chandler Medical
Center began the program a year
earlier, distributing to 500 kids.
The UK community colleges
also participate throughout Ken-
tucky in the Circle of Love, as
well as many other programs to

help others.
The 14 colleges across the
Commonwealth choose what

type of program they participate
in, whether it be a circle of love,
an angel tree, simply sponsoring
needy families or giving gifts for
kids in the community in place of
gift exchange within their offices.
Faculty were able to pick up
names and wish lists at the Stu-
dent Center yesterday, but will be
given the opportunity to choose a
child to buy for today as well.

Uncertainty is the greatest fear
of the future for many students.

Upon graduation, all hope to
find well-paying, self—fulfilling
jobs that will start them on the
road to success. However, more
and more students hear about the
shortage of jobs and the motiva—
tion it takes to land one.

The UK Career Center has
developed another tool for soon-
to—be graduates to move into the
professional world. This week,
UK joins 19 other universities in
participating in the first “Virtual
Job Fair,” through Friday, Nov.
77

According to Sally Chesser at
the UK Career Center, this is an
“un aralleled opportunity" for
stu ems.

It provides students the chance
to interview with such companies
as GTE, Hewlett-Packard, Proc-
tor and Gamble and IBM, who
would not have been able to come
to campus to interview. Available
jobs draw from a range of majors
and are locatejtall over the nation.

“It is a chance to see more
companies,” Chesser said. “It is
one more tool for students.”

Who is eligible? Any graduat-
ing senior who is looking for a job.
\chile Chesser said it can be ben-
eficial for underclassmen to get
familiar with the program, it is
primarily geared toward immedi-
ate placement.

The students interviewing this
week turned in a .t-suine and
application during a three week
period in October. These resumes
were sent to the desired compa-
nies and they, in turn, selected 70
applicants for interviews.

Although the program is com-
petitive, Chesser was impressed
with the students at UK. The
number of interviews requested
was only five short of a full sched-
ule.The interviews take lace in a
private room where app icant and
interviewer share resume and
application through video and
audio communication over digit:
phone lines. If the interview goes
well, it is just like any first inter-
view and the applicant could be
asked for a second interview or a
plant visit. I '.

Nothing like an exhibition

kinks in the system. UK looked
less than spectacular in last Fri-

Another player who appeared
to play much better than he did in
the opener was Jamaal Ma loire.
Magloire grabbed seven oards

“I realize that I’m just a fresh—
man, and I’m going through some

Oartinals on two
years' probation

Associated Press

LOUISVILLE -— The NCAA
placed the University of Louisville
men’s basketball program on two
years’ probation yesterday for
rules violations concerning
recruiting, extra benefits and pref-
erential treatment.

The school, which was accused
of 10 violations, will remain eligi-
ble for post-season play and can
continue to appear on television.

The NCAA accepted various
penalties that the university had
imposed against itself following its
own investigation.

The case arose from questions
concerning former player Samaki
VValker’s use of two cars during
the summer and fall of 1995.

David Swank, chairman of the
NCAA Committee on Infractions,
today commended the university
for conducting a “very careful and
thorough examination” of the
case.

“In that regard, this was a
model kind of response,“ he said.

“They were very thorough and
forthright. This is a good example
of what a program should do.”

Among the penalties imposed
by the NCAA Committee on-
Infractions included requiring the, -

school to continue to develop and
implement a comprehensive edu-
cational program on NCAA legis—j
lation. ' -

The announcement ended a.

year-and-a-half ordeal that started
with a report by The Courier-
Journal surrounding phone calls

made to a Louisville recruit by'_

former volunteer strength coach
and boosterJimmy Thompson.

In a later report, telephone
records obtained by the newspaper

revealed that assistant coach Larry' -_
Gay apparently made improper :
phone contacts with at least two -
top Kentucky high school juniors 3

during the 1994-95 school year.

He also was tied to Thompson;

through phone records.

American Conference tournament with a sub-par
record (7-9—3) and a winless streak of five games.

They were overlooked by everyone, and defending
champion Bowling Green even spoke with the ress
about how they were preparing to play Akron ( K’s
second—round opponent) because it was obvious who
was oing to move on.

K proved them and everyone else wrong by
moving to the championship game against the Fal-
cons. It was something the Cats grew used to during
the season.

Opponents would look at the team’s roster, see ll
freshmen, and figure the Wildcats would self-
destruct with inexperience. At different points during
the season, that’s exactly what ha ned.

“They were inconsistent,” U coach Ian Collins
said. “At times, the showed flashes of brilliance, at
times they showed ey were young, naive players.”

That is to be expected of an group of players
experiencing their first year of college while trying to
com etc on a national level athletically.

K started eight players who never started a game
before this year in the MAC title game, including
freshman Jay Armstrong, who was making his first
start ever.

Armstrong and fellow freshman Bryan DePriest,
both defenders, were named to the All-Tournament
team, not an easy accomplishment considerin they
were playing against the MAC Player of the Yiar in
BG’s Steve Klein.

However, these freshmen were blessed with
exceptional leadership from this year’s seniors.

Sean Endicott, Greg Lobring, Toby McComas
and David Muse led through words and actions, and
each brought something special to the team.

Endicott tied the team record for assists in a sea-
son, McComas led the team in scoring, Muse set a
new school record for saves in a season and Lobring
was one of the most consistent layers before having
his season ended prematurely by an ankle injury in
the Cincinnati game.

“All four reall showed outstanding leadership,”
Collins said. “T ere are some shoes to fill, but I
expect that the players we have and the players we
brin in will do that.”

e Cats were blessed with lots of depth this year,
evident by the fact that only three players (McComas,
Muse, and Jamie Schuer) played in every game this
year. That was a necessity with the injuries incurred
during the season.

Aside from the normal burn s and bruises and
Lobring’s injury, UK also lost or er important play-

ers for stretches of time. Rick Dengelegi suffered a

torn ACL in the preseason, and reds irted this year.

Also missing time to injury were Brien Baltzell,
Rob Frey and led Boswell, who had twelve stitches
put in his head during the team’s first game at the
tournament.

Despite the fact that the players fought through all
this to reach the MAC title game, they still failed to
reach the one goal they set at the beginning of the
season: to reach the Big Dance.

“The only oal we set was going to the NCAA
tournament,” ollins said. “When it came down to it,
we got very close to what we were attempting to do.”

UK advanced further than it had in the previous
five years of the program, and that definitely bodes
well for next year.

“I expect us to compete next year for the MAC
championship, no question,” Collins said. “That’s
what I expected this year, and we did. We fell a little
short, but we competed for it, and that’s what I
expect next year, nothing less.”

e understand that college is a close-knit
community.

And often we, as students, forget that
once we leave campus, there are realities that
many of us will never understand, and would
never want to. For example, not having a place
to sleep at night and not knowing where we
will get our breakfast the next day.

The fact is, many of our neighbors right
here in Lexington deal with these and other
harsh realities every day. As Thanks-
giving approaches, we are reminded
that the time is once again nearing
when we should open our wallets and lend an
extra hand to those less fortunate than us.

WAIT! You say. We’re in college! Students
barely have money to fill our own stomachs,
much less the stomach of another. But are you
sure about that? If you have money for one
more lZ—pack, don’t you have money to donate
some food for a hungry family, or buy a pre-
sent to brighten a needy child‘s holiday?

But if you really don’t have money laying
around to give, there’s other options this holi-
day season. Donating your time can mean so
much to nonprofit organizations and those

To the editor:

Several unbelievable stories

have a story that without question
tops them all.

Monday morning at 10:45 a.m.,
the 38d“. building was evacuated
for a fire alarm. We were return-

South Limestone and saw a Lex—
