rocked and rr*i The Western Front ~=VoL. 78, NO. 17 WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, BELL1NGHAM, WA FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 1986 16% ofgrads unemployed By Sandra Treece staff reporter . A recent survey of last year's Western graduates revealed 77 percent found employment, while 16 percent still were seeking employment. The survey, conducted last year by the Career Planning and Placement Center, showed a 2- percent increase in employment. Of 1,778 graduates, 1,210 or 68 percent responded to the center's questionnaire concerning their employment status. "We are very pleased with the number of graduates that responded," Louis Lallas, center director, said. "It's unusually high." Of the respondents, 926, or 77 percent, said they had found employment and 87, or 7 percent, were continuing their education. Teacher placement increased to 94 percent for 1984-85, a gain of 4 percent over the previous year. Of the 321 new teachers who registered for placement services, 79 percent had reported placement in full or part-time positions as of Nov. 11, 1985. Fifteen percent were employed in non-teaching' postions. Of the total number reporting employment in teaching, 35 percent are substitute teaching or assisting. "Initial part-time involvements often lead to full-time teaching contracts, so we continue to advise candidates to consider these opportunities," Lallas said. Average starting salaries for first-year teachers were: $15,780 in elementary education and $16,080 in secondary education. Placements in business, industry and government increased 3 percent over last year's Figure. Western students were hired by more than 240 agencies throughout the Northwest, 77 of which interviewed 1,242 Western students. Private firms hiring most Western graduates were Boeing, hiring 48 graduates and K-Mart C o r p o r a t i o n , hiring six graduates. Accounting, business, computer science, industrial technology, liberal arts and social science majors were eagerly sought, while physics, chemistry and mathematics majors were moderately successful. Declines in mining and petroleum exploration led to fewer available jobs for geology and geophysics majors. Biology and enviromental studies majors also faced a tight job market. * Loans now have waiting period By Lynn Hersman staff reporter Because the majority of Western students applying for emergency loans was using the fund for convenience rather than for actual emergencies, an overnight waiting period has been implemented, officials have announced. Now students applying for an emergency loan must complete the loan application and leave it at the financial aid office. The money is given to students 24- hours later after receiving loan approval, Ron Martinez, director of Student Financial Resources, said. "Someone with a real emergency can get the money right away," Martinez said, but they will have to go Jthrough the old procedure of waiting for an interview. A student with a real emergency usually will receive the money within one hour, he said. Martinez said he made the decision based on the fact most students coming for emergency loans just needed them for convenience not for emergencies. During the old interview process students had to wait for an inter- Viewer to become available. Also, with the increasing number of these types of loans being made and no additional staff to process the applications, Martinez said the new procedure would make the operation a smoother one for his department. "Someone in the office can go through all the applications at one time. It will streamline the system, students won't have to wait and it will be a better use of our time," he said. The interview information was not necessary, since it could be accessed from the computer. The information was used by the interviewer so the. decision to approve the loan could be made then. WSL blames a recording error By Tim Chovanak staff reporter Computer operators may have failed to record donations to the Washington Student Lobby during the recently completed spring quarter registration, student leaders were told Wednesday. Robert Chamblee, local WSL chair, told Associated Students Board of Directors he estimated donations dropped this quarter by 10 to 20 percent. Some registration computer operators may have been confused about ending donations to the Washington P u b l i c I n t e r e st Research Group, he said. As a result of this, Chamblee said, the operators might also have failed to log donations in^ tended for WSL. Chamblee requested help from the Associated Students, as a neutral body, to manually count the number of donations on registration slips. The AS Election Board will help count the slips if the registrar relinquishes them. In other AS business: AS members appropriated $ 106 for a college bowl quiz show April 16. Afolabi Fakayode, coordinator of the Cross Cultural Center, said the bowl would be a good place for the CCC and other cultural groups to disseminate information on themselves. The bowl would pit a team of AS members and Front staff members. Director of Communications Paul Clark received $65 for beverages for an April 15 AS open house. The open house is a publicity day for AS clubs and organizations. He also discussed and demonstrated the difference between 9- and 1!- inch balloons to be used to advertise the event. The 11-inch balloons, Clark said, "is more balloon for your buck." AS members voted to recognize and compliment the women's basketball team members and coach.
