“(fraig stepped on the foot of a team
mate who was backing up while blocking."

Yeast. a second-team All-Southeastern
Conference performer last year who caught
73 passes for 873 yards and 1() touchdowns
(all UK single-season records). is consid—
ered UK's biggest p1ay~maker by most col

But he said those who work more
than 12 hours per week might be
heading for academic trouble.

“I am really concerned with the
quality of education the students re-
ceive." Swift said. When students are
distracted by their job. grades often
suffer.

Communications senior Hope

Williams is entirely self-sufficient.
Williams said her GPA could be bet-
ter if she didn't have to work so many
hours.

“Most of the time when I have to
choose between studying all night or
picking up a shift, I usually have to
choose work." Williams said.

She works 20-25 hours a week at
Outback Steakhouse. She also has
an internship at WLEX for seven
hours a week and carries 15 credit
hours.

Williams lives within walking

distance of campus with two room
mates. She says her monthly expens-
es are around $800. and she usually
takes out student loans to make ends
meet. but sometimes it's still not
enough.

When she bought books last
week, she spent $240 and still needed
another book. which costs $67.

“I had to wait until I worked over
the weekend to get the money.“
Williams said. “When I went back to
get the book all three of the book-
stores were sold out."

 

Grads seeing openings

Cornucopia of jobs: Market is looking good for UK
graduates, who are getting more money for work

By Richard Cook
SIAFFVIRITER _

It‘s a good year to be graduating.
labor experts say.

“This is one of the best employ-

said Diane Kohler. senior associate
director at the UK Career Center.

Kohl called it a “captive market"
for students. where companies come
to campus to interview and find new
employees.

Chad Sherwood. who graduated
last May with a degree in computer
science. reaped the benefits of the
booming economy in June. Three
months after submitting his resume
to the Lexington-based Jockey Club. a
leader in the thoroughbred breeding
industry. at a Career Center job fair.
he received an offer for a program-
ming job with a salary in the mid-
$20,000 range.

“The job fair was the only useful
thing UK ever did for me." he said
with a laugh.

Still. Kohler warned against com-
placency.

“The student who knows what he

wants. researches the job market and
takes advantages of the resources of
the Career Center will find an excel-
lent job market." she said.

John Cockrell. a graduate student
in the Patterson School of Diplomacy
and International Commerce. was at
the Career Center signing up for inter—
views with recruiters yesterday.

He said he is not worried about
finding a job despite recent interna‘
tional economic problems that have
caused fluctuations in the stock mar;
ket.

“I don‘t think that it has caused
problems for the U.S. job market yet.
but it could go either way.“ Cockrell
said. “At worst, the economy might
slow down a bit."

He‘s hoping for a position with
the State Department or Commerce
Department when he receives his
master‘s degree in December.

Job growth is continuing in the
computer field. said Tony Baxter. a UK
computer science professor. Compa-
nies like Procter & Gamble often woo
potential recruits by taking them out
to lunch, and the Computer Science
Department receives calls every day
from companies looking for personnel.

“It's a seller‘s market." he said.

David Royce. director of graduate
studies in the College of Social Work.
said there is a myriad of opportuni-
ties for social work graduates. Those
willing to accept the low-pay and of»
ten stressful beginning jobs find lots
of flexibility in the job market. he
said. from hospital or nursing home
work to state employment.

Salaries have increased dramati-
cally for all majors in the last two
years. according to the National As-
sociation of Colleges and Employers.
Nationally. liberal arts majors aver-
aged $27.600 in 1997. a 15 percent in
crease over the previous year. Ac-
counting majors enjoyed a 9 percent
increase to $32872. Computer science
majors, continually the highest paid
graduates. saw a 12 percent increase.
with salaries averaging in the upper
330.0005 and into the 340.0005.

Some May 1998 computer science
graduates are reporting salaries up to
and more than $50,000.

Interviews for December and May
graduates start as early as Sept. 21.
Kohler said companies are recruiting
hard. often offering signing bonuses.

Kohler said while the job market
is the best in years. jobs will go to stu-
dents who prepare themselves by
making use of the Career Center.

“It will be trouble for those stu-
dents who don't do anything." he said.

 

 

Tailgating
free from
dry policy

Be cool: Officials say if everyone
"acts and behaves," police won't
bother stadium pregame parties

IyEIIOILorI

ASSISTANT HE'S [DlIOR

As the Air Raid ’98 season begins tomor-
row. some UK football fans might be worried
that the new dry campus policy will effect
home pregame festivities.

But unknown to many (or ignored by
many). the past policy at Commonwealth Sta
dium has always been and still remains: no al-
cohol allowed H inside the stadium or on the
surrounding UK property.

In past years. pregame cookouts (or tail-
gating) in the stadium parking lot and across
Hal Mumme Drive often included beer and
other drinks despite the policy.

“It was just a festive atmosphere. And so
we all got together and had a tookout and
went to the game." said John liebilzan. a sea-
son ticket holder front lexington.

UK‘s recent decision to lllt‘l‘t‘ttst' enforce
ment of the no-alcohol policy on r ampus has
fans worried that tailgating cookouts will not
be as much fun.

“I'd rather go to the game than drink. but
it won't be as fun to tailgate. and we probably
won‘t do it as much." said l)ehil/:_-.n. who has
tailgated with friends for the past three years.

But administration officials saj. (fllflll'l't'
ment of the already—existent. no air ohol polity
hasn't changed.

“There. has been no official decision to do
it any different than in the post." s'rid [lean ot
Students David Stockham.

With an estimated 30,000 fans in the stadi-
um parking lot, UK Police don't hayr- time to
be going car to car searching for hw-t. said Re
becca Langston. UK chief of police.

“We’re not stalking anyone.“ she said.
"We're not going to go hunt them down. It
everybody acts right and behaves. their wr-
should have a wonderful game."

Putting a keg in the back of a ti tick or iii»
noxious behavior might still get a fan arrested
or cited. Stockham said. But as long as students
and other fans don't draw attention to tht in
selves. the police will likely leave them alone.

“They're not out there like Gestapo going
through everybody's stuff." said Rodney
Stiles. director of administrative services for
the athletic department.

UK Police will still continue to search stu
dents for alcohol. noise makers and inappro
priate signs when they enter the stadium. ()th
er fans will be randomly searched. Stiles said.

Enforcement policies inside the stadium
will also remain the same. Langston said.

“If people draw attention to themselves
with the use of alcohol. then the University
will respond." Stockham said.

For the fans who are acting appropriately.
the game is still on.

funded and has had experience in writing pro»
posals.

“This part of the program is very helpful
for professors at some of the smaller schools
who may not have anyone in their community
who is doing the same type of research." Fra-
zier said.

Frazier said learning to write good grant
proposals is essential for learning institutions.
pointing out that L'K‘s graduate program is
secondarily funded by grants.

“1 got through school because a professor
had a research grant and gave me a job in his
lab." Frazier said. “The. positive effects of
grants trickle down from the faculty who re-
ceive them to the students whom they teach."
