Jaywalker, motorcycle collide: injuries small but concern grows

by James Powers

An unwatching force met a slowly moving object.

Pedestrian John Linley was jaywalking his way across the intersection of 10th and Lawrence streets shortly be(ore noon on April 23.

Motorcyclist Matthew Mieszala was rolling slowly along Lawrence Street.

Mieszala who had the green light right-of-w~y. was traveling about five miles per hour, according to the Denver Police Department report. No estimate was made of Linley's speed.

Pedestrian Linley managed to cross three-quarters of the intersection before hitting Mieszala and his motorcycle.

Injuries were minimal.

"The accident was so minor that it wasn't even reported to me initially," Sgt. Don Imes of the DPD's Pedestrian Safety Unit, said.

The large number of jaywalkers on the Auraria campus continues to be a concern for Pedestrian Safety.

"We have three people listed as witnesses on our report," Imes said, "so there were probably four or five times that many in the intersection at the time."

In the ambulance: John Linley and Matthew Mieszala, left to right, are ' . checked for Injuries attar their colltslon. .

by R.P. Bellizzi An affirmative action grievance that won' t go away is causing M.sc administrators and faculty considerable grief. While the administrators have tried unsuccessfully to settle the twoyear-old case before the new MSC presi1dent takes over, the three respondents in the case are questioning the administration's priorities.

The suit, filed by Eric Bae~ in April 1980, alleged racial discrimination by Craig Smith, MSC associat~ professo~ of art, for giving Baqa a D m a drawmg class Smith taught in the fall of 1979.

The grievance was amended by B~ca in November 1980 to include J. Thomas Logan, art professor and department chairman, and Barbara J . ~oughton, associate professor of art. Baca s amended grievance referred to "harassment and intimidation" toward Baca by Logan and Houghton in response to the grievance filed against Smith. Baca claims the Ds Logan and Houghton gave him for two classes in the spring of 1980 were forms of harassment.

"They were trying to harass me, " Baca said. "They were taking a vindictive attitude. When people constantly abuse their position and authority, they have to be challenged."

In Au~ust 1980, the art department filed a counter grievance through MSC Affirmative Action citing "misadministration and obstruction of the Affirmative Action Grievance Procedure"

by Bill Moland, affirmative action director, and several members of the MSC Affirmative Action Council.

The grievance requested that "the entire Council disqualify itself from further action concerning this grievance (Baca's) ... basis for this request is that a person should not be both the accused and the judge or prosecutor in the same · proceeding."

Art faculty complaints against Moland included alleged violations of confidentiality and failure to attempt to resolve the grievance informally as required by affirmative ac?on guidel~nes.

"Affirmative Action terribly mishandled the situation," Hougliton said. "Moland should be reprimanded."

Moland claims he did everything he could to resolve the grievance informally. Nevertheless, the Colorado Attorney General's office decided to assume jurisdiction of the suit.

The art faculty members believe that action was a result of their grievance against Moland. Moland feels otherwise.

"The attorney ·general decided it wanted to hear more testimony, so it assumed responsibility of the Baca

'·

case," Moland said.

In late March, Curtis Wright, acting MSC president, suggested a job reassignment to Moland. Moland was to leave Affirmative Action and begin working under Jim Vanderhye, associate vicepresident of business and finance for MSC, with the suggested title of "coordinator of community servictfs."

The Baca case remained unresolved. " This thing has taken on a life of its own, i~ seems," Wright said. ''I'd like to get it resolved before the new MSC president (Richard Fontera) assumes office. We tried to come up with a solution that would be acceptable to the art department and reasonably acceptable to Baca."

Meanwhile, the three faculty members had trouble accepting the administration's eagerness to settle the matter quickly after two years.

Part of the proposed quick solution included expunction of Baca's grades for the three classes and a tuition refund.

The three art professors are having a hard time swallowing this solution.

"When you are hired to use your professional judgement and the administration questions that judgement, it reflects on your integrity," Houghton said.

"Faculty are hired to give grades," Logan said. "What would happen if every student disputed their grad~?"

The three instructors feel that in making such unprecedented concessions ,to Baca the administration is tarni'shing the art department's reputation.

In response to Houghton's expressed concern over the administration's hesitancy to stand behind its faculty, Stan Sunderwirth, MSC academic vicepresident, sympathized with Houghton, but suggested "what an excellent gift to ~tinued on page 17

Warm weather alld violence go together

by Gail Herling

With the warmer months come lazy walks through the parks, more doors unlocked for easier access between house and yard, and a large rise_in sexual assaults. _ The MSC Women's Center is sponsor'ing a state-wide conference that will enable participants to discuss the issues of violence against women and its prevention.

"Women/Victims of Violence: Old _ _:_Myths/New Realities," will be held on ' ---rhursday, April 29 from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. at St. Cajetan's Center. THe cost for a full-time student is $10 (includes wine and snacks) and continuing educational credits are available.

The day's agenda includes a speech by Carolyn Agosta, co-founder of Ending - · Violence Effectively (EVE), a support group that provides several services for rape victims and battered women. She has also taught self-protection at Auraria. · _ There wJll be four panel discussions, :.· with audience participation, about the psychological effects of violence against women, how media relate to the issues,

Though the violence against women conference may last only a day there are campus facilities available on a full-time basis for women seeking help.

Auraria Women's Centers have access to referrals for women who request aid.

UCO Women's Center staffs counselors daily, although they will often steer the victim toward the appropriate outside aid.

UCD has offered two self-defense workshops which unfortunately were cancelled "due to lack of interest. CCD offers self-protection classes also.

Shyrel Copeland, CCD Women's Center coordinator, remarked that there were at least four cases of women seek-

"depository" for rapists to drop their victims off after the crime has been committed. ' Perhaps most important in regard to Auraria apathy is: Many rape victims will readily agree that before the assault they never imagined that it could ·happen to them.

As Auraria Public Safety officer Nora Cavelli stresses, "Women must be mentally prepared in order to prevent sexual assault. We need to make the women street-wise."

According to researcher Menachim Amir, most rapes take place indoors.

The approximately 40 percent that occur outside usually happen during the summer months, since it's easier for rapists to find their victims.

Her hopes for the conference go beyond its immediate goals. She envisions more workshops orl the myths surTOUJ\ding rape and battered women, and on self-protection. She hopes to see a campus task force committed to making people aware of sexual assault and the alternatives to victimization.

Contrary to old myth that blames women's clothing on their victimization, research has shown that victims are actually identified according to their vulnerability level.

Men who sexually assault women may plan their attacks in two ways - either by getting to know a particular woman's daily habits (often an acquaintance) and stepping in at a point where she'd be the weakest and most surprised. Stalking particular places that any woman may go to alone or where it is assumed she will take the least precautions is another method.

That's why a college campus is such a . prime target area for violence against women.

The upcoming conference will also focus on battered women. The results of a recent study on violence within college relationships demonstrates the need for discussion.

"One out of every five collegiate relationships involves slapping, hitting, · kicking and punching," according to the books Response and The Family Tree.

Twenty-nine percent of the students surveyed believed hitting in their relationships signified some form of love.

Only five of the abused students reported it or sought police aid.

Men are encouraged to attend the conference. Shirley Simms s~ys that one reason may be to enlarge their perspective on victimization. Simms believes that if both sexes examine their attihides toward violence against women, then it

Money became a problem and the program was stopped.

Nora Cavelli from Auraria Public Safety encourages women to use the "buddy system," which is simply walking with at least one other person when on campus at night.

When asked about using weapons for protection, Cavelli said, "It can be turned against you. BUt if you're going to use mace, at least take it outinto the back yard and spray it into a trash can first."

Cavelli remarked that many women grow cocky in their confidence once they've learned to use a weapon and take unnecessary risks.

There are ways around fear for a woman on campus alone at night .. A friend cal call her periodically to check on her welfare. She can call APS to have the officer doing rounds informed of her location and to pay special attention to it. She can also lock herself in the room.

Public Safety' will escort a woman who calls in to her car, but it always depends on the availability of an officer.

There are only two on duty, with rounds to make and other calls to respond to.

The "Handy Van," which is used to tr~nsport disabled students around campus is also available for other students to use.

The Center for Women Policy Studies discovered that many college students fear reporting assaults that have been committed by acquaintances due to fear of reprisal or possible embarrassment . amongst peers.

Auraria Public Safety encourages students to report all situations. that appear unusual or threatening - including women sensing threats from the way a man is following or approaching her. They believe that this is a. definite step toward preventing any further harm from occurring.

Student Body Presidential Report Precedent.

Having Ted Sorenson come to MSC was a precedent, hopefully, in that this kind of thing will continue.

Gary Holbrook, professor of speech at MSC, ·was the major impetus in getting Ted Sorenson to MSC, Wednesday, April 21.

For those of you who missed the speech, Ted Sorenson was the speechwriter for John Kennedy during his campaign, at his inauguration, and during the Cuban Missile Crisis; The topic of his speech was a comparison and contrasting of the presidency, 1962 and

1982.

.

The All-Purpose Room was jammed with people.

The reception was warm, and the question and answer period was productive.

The speech wasn't all we got; after the speech there was a reception, where people could talk informally with Mr. Sorenson. That was followed by a taping of the Smith and Lxnn Show at Channel 6. The next day three hours of questions and answers were taped by Ted and some MSC faculty members. That was followed by another speech, this one at the President's Luncheon, held at the Brown Palace, once again followed by a question and answer period. After a press conference, it was back to his law fir~ in New York.

The bulk of money it cost to get Ted Sorenson to MSC was paid through student fees, and I feel that it was a very wise investment. I hope I'm right in calling this event a precedent, because I feel that this is just what this institution and this campus needs: an ongoing program which brings people of national pro-

While the vast majority of my studepts are receptive to the many injustices in our criminal justice system, as was evidently exemplified in the Roy Foreman case, a few are adamant in clinging to "justice as usual." But regardless of any of my students' views of justice, I wilL continue to work with them so that when they are in positions to mete out justice 20 years hence, they will be · more conscientious of justiee in future Roy Foreman cases.

'Affordable' CCD offers career skills, diversity

by Joanne Stanley Mielnick

Would you like to learn an employable, technical skill in two years or less? · Would you like to improve skills you already have?

Are you a woman entering the job market for the first time?

Would you like to take a course in computer programming on the weekends?

If you answered "Yes" to any of the above questions, Community College of Denver (CCD) could be for you.

CCD is a public community college with an enrollment of 13,000 students, making it the third largest college in Colorado. It has four campuses located in North Denver, Aurora, Red Rocks, and on the Auraria campus.

CCD offers more than 100 programs that lead to certificates or degrees. You can earn a certificate in auto body painting or an associate degree in wastewater treatment - and everything in between. ·

courses to prepare himself for a fouryear business degree. He has already applied and been accepted at University of Denver for the 1982 fall semester.

Schoefberger's reasoning is simple.

"CCD is a lot cheaper than DU," he says.

Four years at DU would cost more than he would like to pay. By attending CCD first, he will be getting a degree from DU, but will only be paying DU tuition for two years.

Farzad Novin, a graduate of East High School, _came to CCD because of the open-door admission policy. There are no requirements for admission. You don't even have to have a high school diploma.

Novin plans to continue on and get a four-year degree in computer science from MSC or UCD. Novin felt he might have problems getting accepted to MSC or UCD right out of high school, so he feels he did the right thing coming to CCD first.

At CCD you also have the option of taking ·general academic courses to prepare you for a four-year baccalaureate program, as Glenn Schoefberger is doing.

Seventy-five percent of the total enrollment at CCD's Auraria campus is working toward a degree, a certificate, or transferring to.a four-year institution.

But there are many students who cqme to update skills they already have, or to learn new ones that they need in their jobs.

Let the good times roll.

To allow people who work during the week to attend college, CCD offers a _ "weekend college." Classes in data processing and other business courses are offered on Friday nights,. Saturday and Sunday. Because of the great interest in this program, it is being expanded.

CCD tries to offer every student more support services than are available af MSC and UCD, according to Titus.

"We try to personalize our instruction," Titus said. "CCD is the people's college."

One support is CCD's assessment service. Any person who wants to can be tested in an academic area, and a personalized program will be developed to teach the student at their level and rate of progression. They will learn at their own speed. If at some point they feel confident to enroll in a regular class, • they will be _advised which classes to enroll in. Because of the small size of the classes at CCD - 15 to 30 per class the student will continue to get personalized instruction.

CCD has an important role in the community, Titus said, as an alternative " to MSC and UCD. . "We're not simply a place to go when people can't make it in a four-year pro~ gram," Titus said.

Metro's 'thundering herd'.hails ·alma mater ... l

by Joanne Stanley Mielnick

What do MSC grads think of their alma mater? Most are pleased with the education they received and feel MSC measures up to and surpasses most other schools.

That sentiment isn't shared by at least one other local college population, however.

"At DU the students had a name for MSC graduates," Susan Aukema said. " 'The thundering herd from the lower third' they called us. MSC graduates were the bottom of the heap. Some people I talked to told me to forget about ever getting into law school with an MSC degree."

Aukema started applying to law schools during her senior year at MSC. She was told it was an accomplishment to be accepted to any law school with an MSC degree.

She was advised to apply to the lesserranked schools. But Aukema ignored the advice and applied to DU, CU and Hastings (Cal.) law schools - all ranked in the upper third.

She was accepted at all three.

Now, in her first year of law school at DU, Aukema has discovered she is just as well educated as the other students in her classes.

MSC is one of the four largest institutions for higher learning in Colorado.

The youngest of the four, its first official school year began in the fall of 1965.

Since then enrollment has skyrocketed and the Auraria campus was built.

Although the school has grown tremendously, it has still retained its original purpose: "To serve the needs for higher education in the Denver Metropolitan area."

Mark Boyko, a 1971 graduate with a BS in marketing, remembers when MSC had an enrollment of about 1,200.

"It was almost like a private school, it was so small," Boyko said. "I don't think I would have survived in a 'big' college like CU." While Boyko was at MSC he was a work-study student in the registrar's office. That experience led to his currer.t career - he is the registrar for the north campus of the Community College of Denver.

Boyko went to work for CCD right after graduating from MSC. Later on he went on to graduate school at CU. His experiences in graduate school made him appreciate his MSC education even more. .

"A Metro education is tops in my book," Boyko said. "I found myself wellprepared professionally in my job. I became even more confident about my Metro education while I was in graduate school at CU. The other students in the course, from schools all over the country, were in many cases not as wellprepared for graduate school as I was."

Boyko thinks that MSC's reputation has improved since he graduated in 1971".

"At the time I graduated, the school had not been turning out graduates for very long," Boyko said. "So a successful product had not really been demonstrated yet."

Kevin Myles, a 1975 MSC graduate with a BA in political science and

psychology, thinks MSC could enhance its national reputation by changing its name.

vantage of the name recognition value of Denver. I never understood why they named it MSC. I despise that name."

Myles went on to law school at the University of Tulsa ·after graduating from MSC. He is now an attorney with Davis Oil Company. Like the other MSC graduates, he did not feel at any disadvantage educationally but felt that an MSC degree lacked the prestige associated with some other colleges.

"If you are looking for snob appeal," Myles said, "then don't go to Metro. You won't find it there. If you are trying to impress people, go to Harvard or someplace like that."

Aukema, Boyko and Myles agree that you do receive a good, sound education at MSC. Professors are more easily aQcessible and the teacher-student ratio is much better than at other colleges. They agree that an MSC education is just as good - if not better - than the education you receive at other colleges.

Myles believes that MSC's education is superior to many other schools because of the emphasis on teaching rather than research. MSC professors are not far removed from the reality of the job market. Often they are still working in their fields. Professors at other schools often have been teaching for so long they lost touch with the reality of what they are teaching and tend to rely solely on theory, Myles believes.

Forget about those jeans you've been wearing to school for the last four years.

Forget about the plaid sports coat you wore while moonlighting as a used car salesman. Get rid of that purple streak in the middle of your hair.

The right colors, patterns and styles are.

If you can afford only one good suit, make it a solid dark blue. The second suit should be a gray pinstripe, preferably with a vest.

Shirts should be pale blue or white-and never wear a short sleeve shirt-not for the interview and not for any business purpose.

Hunters search for corporate heads .

\

by John Toomey Debra Fine is a headhunter. In a world of flashing lasers and silicon microchips, she is one of the best.

Set in a world of high technology, Fine moves freelv and unhindered. rubbing shoulders with computer wizards, corporate executives and electrical engineers.

Nearly a thousand other headhunters live and work in the Denver area. Some

specialize in secretaries and office workers, others, like Fine, deal with the high priced brains behind the newest . thinktanks or corporations.

Fine is a corporate job placement specialist. Her fee is outrageous, but the employers who can not operate their corporations without the high-priced brains she gathers, are willing to pay.

The lOOs of employment agencies in the Denver telephone book specialize in placing unemployed workers, those who want temporary employment, and filling those hard to fill, talented corporate slots.

You can find employment agencies for accountants, bookkeepers, construction and data processing. If you look hard enough you can find one for zookeepers.

Liberal base opens doors

MSC's dean of liberal arts likes macaroon cookies.

And because someone knew he liked them, he received half a dozen one Friday morning. That was the same Friday that another colleague brought him an essay by Thomas Carlyle on the darkness of mind and stu.eidity.

Little incidents such as these highlight the job of Phillip Boxer and bring what he terms "a purpose to the process. " This purpose to which he refers was, and is, obtained by a liberal education, making the study of liberal arts a necessity for every college student.

Almost 30 percent of MSC's total enrollment is in the School of Liberal Arts, which includes 11 different denartments. Boxer attributes high enrollment in the liberal arts to more ·aware and intelligent students.

"The average student is more sophisticated," Boxer said. "He wants a broader view. There's a greater urgency to understand human needs and aspirations."

He said liberal arts students need to understand what influences the quality of life, what is knowledge and how to apply it to everything they know.

Richard Pasternak is not involved with the liberal arts school, but he supports it as if he were, rather than the MSC School of Business.

"A liberal arts education is necessary for any student to be part of life," he said.

Enrollment in MSC's business school has gone up six percentage points - to 24 percent - in the last ten years.

Pasternak said the substantial increase results from students relating their skills to the business world. But he said it ~oesn't really matter what the student gets his degree in as long as he gets one.

"I don't think a degree has a whole lot to do witlh.a certain career," he said.

"The beauty of college is to look at all the options and allow students to search all areas."

But before a student can search and understand, he must have knowledge.

Knowledge of history and philosophy, knowledge of literature, art, music and mankind must be grasped before the student can understand engineering, or technology or management.

"No matter the profession," Boxer said, - "The wider the aspect of kllowledge, the better the judgements and decisions."

But with all the need for liberal education, the biggest problem is getting people to believe there is a job market for liberal arts majors.

"The most erroneous view," Boxer said, "is that a liberal arts degree is not applicable."

Students perceive that their degree will lead them into one career and one career only. This is where liberal arts majors have a rough time - because there are no recruiters on campus looking for philosophy majors.

Pasternak explains that students are pressured from parents and peers into knowing exactly what they want to do.

"We aU change our minds," he said.

"Don't be concerned with changing your mind 150 times. Anyone who goes through four years knowing exactly what they want to do, has been browbeaten somewhere along the way."

But, he said, their minds must be prepared to perform "mental gymnastics" to synthesize the knowledge and make a transition from one job to another.

Marilyn Lindermer, assistant manager of the Auraria Career Planning and Placement Office, said a lack of knowledge on the students' part leads them to think they cannot go outside ot their fields. And she said it is harder for liberal arts majors to get a job - until they know how to identify and ·understand their skills.

"They must know how to transfer their skills," Lindermer said. "But employers are finding their employees are weak in communication skills, and those kind of liberal art skills are good to have for any position."

Those liberal arts skills are good not only for job positions, but for life. How much less enjoyment would there be without music or art or literature?

Boxer said there are no disadvantages to a liberal arts education and he looks for greater growth in the future.

"With the growing complexity of modern life, liberal edueation is the foundation of all of human and societal needs," Boxer said.

So go ahead, try a few of those macaroons.

your placement and depending on the job you will have to pay the agency to find you a job.

In the high-priced world that Fine moves in, employers are willing to pay upwards of $20,000 to find the right brains to fill their vacant slot. Fine is always on the look for a BSEE Bachelor of Science and Electrical Engineering with five years experience or an MCS (Master of Computer Science) under $50,000.

She is not above weeding her way through secretaries and switchboards to get to the brain behind the newest computer system. When she finally has the talent on the other end of the phone, the sales pitch begins.

"Such and such employer is willing to pay $10,000 more per year to hire you," she'll explain.

Sometimes she fails but more often than not she makes the sale. That is why she is considered one of the best and nears a six digit yearly income.

But what of you and I? What can this high stakes game do for us?

If you are looking for a job, fresh out of school with your B.A. or B.S., don't count on finding a start in your field through an employment agency. Later, with three to five years experience or a graduate degree, an agency may be able to help you.

However, don't overlook the educational experience an employment agency can give you. If you find the right agency, one with a cooperative place-

ment specialist and a good track record for matching the right employee to the right employer, they can be an invaluable source of information.

They daily have contact with the regional employers. They do know who is hiring, what corporations are growing and the employers who have plans to move to town.

They can critique your resume and help you plan the correct career moves.

A good employment agency can be like a good banker or lawyer; able to help you when you need help.

A good agency can be your best friend and a good educator. A bad agency will deliver your head to an employer, but the move may not be in your best interests. That can, in the lonsi: run. separate your body from where your brains belo.ng.

BS/CS ti-om MSC Supply of technical degree

by Kathleen L. Humphreys and John A Toomey Money!

Now that we have your attention, have you been in a quandry about what degree will lead to your share of the fortune?

A random survey of Denver's top employers and employment agencies indicates that Denver is a fast growing city with hot job prospects for the days ahead.

A fair share of those hot jobs will be in electronic engineering research and development and its sleeping sibling, energy reserves. Both are emerging as industrial leaders of Colorado.

Another growing field will be bank-

ing. Wherever money is made, people are needed to manage it.

Look for a shortage in computer personnel. A degree in computer science or data processing could lead to a big salary.

Colorado is a growing capital of high technology. If you couple your degree to a speciality in one of these areas you are bound to be on the upswing of a billion dollar industry.

Colorado's Outlook According to all economic reports this country is in an economic slump.

Unemployment is at record highs and money is becoming scarcer.

Colorado, however, is ~periencing upward economic trends that set it apart

from the national picture. New companies are moving to Colorado on a dai.ly basis, hoping to escape the rigors of a big city and letting the Rocky Mountains supply parks pot available elsewhere.

Not all bodes well for Colorado though. A bite from its economy occurred with the present oil glut which drove prices unexpectedly down. This placed mining of energy reserves-oil and gas, coal and oil shale-in a temporary holding pattern. Food prices are down and this does not sit well with Colorado's once-booming agribusiness.

Personnel managers and employment agencies in Denver agree that Colorado's employment picture is much brighter than the national average.

"Employment in Denver is still in a better position than other places in the country," says Sue Burton, personnel director for Hewlitt Packard, "but a year ago most applicants had jobs and were seeking advancement. Now, most people don't have a job."

Joan Duarte of Tag Team, a local employment agency specializing in placing high technology employees, sees a depressed Denver job market but is hoping for an upturn as oil prices stablize.

Debra Scott of Colorado National Bank views Denver's employment as

Engineering grads can almost name price while picking and choosing position (CPS)-The average 1982 engineering grad will earn $25,000 next year, compared to liberal arts grads, who will be scrambling for average starting salaries of $10,000. Engineering students were less than ten percent of the 1980-81 graduating class, but got 65 percent of the on-campus job offers, according to the College Placement Council of B,ethlehem, Pa. Judith Kaiser, a College Placement .Council spokeswoman, says the current market is far different from seven years ago, when a recession in the wake of the Arab oil embargo slowed industry demands for engineers, and engineering students actually flocked to change their majors.

"In 1972 we had 3,495 engineering students enrolled," recalls Robert H. Page, Texas A&M's dean of engineering.

"Here we are nine years later with three times that number.

The reasons for the change are evident, he says. "Technology is getting more and more complex; and it has created a great demand for quality engineers. The orders are out to recruit engineering students."

Engineering enrollment at A&M is up 1,000 from last year, and Page expects similar increases in the next several years.

National engineering enrollment has skyrocketed from 195,000 in 1972 to over 350,000 in 1980.

"I would expect it's up another ten percent for this current year," speculates W . Edward Lear, director of the American Society for Engineering Educ_ation.

"The job opportunities are great," Lear e:)fplains. "The average four-year engineering student will have three or four job offers before graduation, and will earn an average of $23,000 to $27,000 the first year.''

"The favorable job market has created significant increases in the total number of students who choose engineering as a major," understates Iowa State engineering Dean David Boyland. "And most projections indicate the demand will continue."

But the boom, ironically enough, has¡ pitched college engineering schools into the deepest crises in their histories.

"I think everyone is beginning to see the potential disaster if ,we don't do something," Lear warns. "Right now we're dealing with a double-edged sword.''

Enrollment jumps have made overcrowded classes common and impressive salary temptations from private industry have made it hard to hire new profs to take on the additional class load. Few new grads choose to go on for more schooling when they can get high salaries. Experienced engineering professors are leaving academia to take those higher salaries, too. â&#x20AC;˘ "Starting teachers can expect a salary of around $25,000 a year," Lear says.

"That's after three years of additional schooling, plus the cost and effort to get their Ph.Os. When they can step out of college with a BS and get the same saiary in the private sector; they see that they wouldn't be that far ahead by continuing their education."

Current instructors "can realize anywhere from a 30 to 100 percent salary improvement by moving to corporate jobs," Lear grieves.

He estimates there are 1,600 to 2,000 vacant engineering positions on American college campuses.

Cal Tech's engineering enrollment has doubled in the last seven years, but Dean Roy Gould is finding it harder and harder to get instructors to teach them.

"I suspect it's going to get harder as we have a smaller and smaller pool to draw from.''

'Tm really concerned about our future," confides Texas A&M's Page.

"Our very best students are going into industry, students that ought to continue their education for the benefit of the country and of the student. There's an expression going around that says 'Industry is just eating its own feedcorn,' and I hope something is done to control the situation."

Many schools of engineering are now self-consciously stressing the values of post-graduate education, and cooking up incentives to keep their students in school.

Others, like Purdue, have raised admissions standards and virtually walled out out-of-state students.

And colleges are appealing to industries that are hiring away teaching and grad school talent. In response, Exxon recently announced a $15 million program to encourage students to continue in school, and discourage professors from defecting to the private sector.

strong, but predicts a slump in the near future.

The transition ray of hope for Colorado seems to radiate from the growing electronic and silicon computer chip industry. Many of the brains behind California's "Silicon Valley" have become fed up with the lifestyle in California. They have moved their brains and families to Colorado to enjoy the slower pace and cleaner environment.

Says Debra Fine of Roth Young Employment Agency, "We are now on the verge of constructing our own silicon mountain."

If you are smart you will get the job as soon as they will hire you, have your employer pay for the rest of your education, while you earn rrioney and experience according to Engineering Divi, sion Director of the Roth Young ~mployment Agency, Debra Fine.

The Colorado big ten employers listed openings, or would have future openings for both fields of study. Positions included finance, electrical engineering and computer science, as well as support ersonnel for each.

,

No clear preference was made between the fields of study. More emphasis was placed on a well-rounded education, with a speciality and experience sterning from personal choice.

A word of caution was added. Avoid the pitfall of following the crowd. All too often a glut of qualified people enter the same job market-and everybody ends up waiting tables.

This has occurred in the fields of sociology and psychology, in geology and geophysics, oil and gas technical support personnel, land men and penny stock brokers.

Indications point to a similar trend developing for MBA's. Many executives of ranking Colorado firms are returning to school for MBA study. Couple these employed executives and their degrees with the number of graduates studying this popular degree and a flood may occur, according to Debra Scott of Colorado National Bank.

The Hot Ones So here is what you've been waiting for, the top jobs and industries on the

Colorado scene. The results have been compiled from interviews with Denver's top employment agencies and employers.

The figures are no suprise to anyone who watches the employment classified sections of Colorado's major newspapers.

The word is electronics. It holds the top spot for growth, followed by energy related technology (oil, gas, coal, oil shale).

These are followed closefy by the world of financial management and accounting.

Sometimes bachelors alone can~t cut it; graduate degrees produce bigger bucks \

by Kathleen L. Humphreys

"All you can do with a bachelor's degree in sociology is wait tables," says graduate student Linda Krasky.

"I received my last promotion and salary increase based on getting a Master's in Business Administration (MBA) degree," Ron Gunnella said.

How valuable is a graduate degree in today's job market? It's been said a graduate degree guarantees job placement, job advancement, salary increase; graduate school pays . . . or does it?

Today's job market necessitates a shift toward the practical and UCD graduate students are motivated in that direction.

Mike Cusack is a guidance and counseling major. His inducement for graduate attendance is that credentials yield money.

Cusack believes that a graduate degree increases alternatives and improves opportunities, especially in creating job contacts.

Melinda Goodwin is working toward an advanced degree in interior architecture. Her aims are fairly basic.

"I want a good job and a corr.esponding salary," said Goodwin.

A popular area highlighting the practical is the graduate business degree, the MBA. Gonnella will graduate in May with his MBA, which supplemented an undergraduate business degree. He received his last promotion and the MBA qualified him to move up the management ladder.

Gonnella's employer, Thompson Pipe and Steel, looked favorably at his return to school and viewed it as upper management preparation.

Candy Weil, an MBA student, received her bachelor's degree in liberal arts.

She entered graduate school to get out of property management. Salary was a prime motivator; she wanted to improve her earning position.

Gonnella and Weil both worked between undergraduate and graduate study. Weil gained a valuable perspective.

"I was .able to integrate information and use it better," she said. "I could understand the need for what I learned as an undergraduate."

"I learned a lot more working than I did in school, especially in graduate school," Gonnella said.

Krasky gained a clearer picture of what she wanted to do and didn't waste the time getting a degree in an area she discovered she didn't like.

Gonnella learned 99 percent of his expertise in the field - the practical application of course work.

The UCD School of Business echoes the value of a bachelor's degree and experience, byt stipulates that it depends on the pedon and particular business area.

However, Gonnella and Weil were both motivated to return for an advanced degree.

Gonnella wanted to learn accounting theory to complement his· working knowledge. His company paid half of 1 his tuition, contingent on a minimum qualifying grade (B).

Weil saw opportunity to increase her earning potential.

"During my undergraduate career I didn't sense the best economic venture,'' Weil said. "I should have taken business courses."

Her career began as a secretary. Basic skills like typing constituted her ticket into the job arena. Weil's liberal arts d,egree didn't come into play until she entered a higher job level. ·

Ila Warner, UCD liberal arts program specialist, concurs that students should make an effort to get relevant work experience before graduating.

Internships and co-op education provide an experience base, valuable business contacts and resume material.

Warner advocates building a variety of skills into the academic program with electives and double majoring. Career reading increases option awareness.

"Liberal arts does not train for a specific area; it is not occupationoriented," said Warner.

Warner points out that the majority of liberal arts graduates take a job that is not major-related. Weil contends general skills gained from this major are transferrable.

UCD School of Business Academic Advisor Nancy Reed says that over half of MBA candidates come from a liberal arts background.

Weil sees the general background _combined with technical skills t0 be invaluable. She sees her choices blossoming with the alliance of school and work experience.

The bottom line is, "Is is worth it?" A resounding "yes" is the general reaction.

Advice to potential graduate candidates is a road map from experts.

Goodwin says, "Look at thP, field and _measure the practicality; look at your motives."

"Talk to people in the program you're considering - this will generate alternatives," cautions Cusack.

"It is important to identify goals and see how graduate school fits into them," says Judy Koslov, a doctoral candidate in math.

Warner suggests talking to people in the field to learn realistic ideas, specific problems and needed qualifications.

by Carson Reed It is only a ten minute walk from Auraria to downtown Denver, but the trek can be arduous if you are a recent college graduate looking that way for a meaningful and/or well-paying career.

You will need friends and contacts to make it successfully. You will need planning and advice.

The most obvious, and incredibly, the most often overl<>Qked place to get help is the Career Planning and Placement Office in room 108 of the Central Classroom building, serving all three schools on the campus.

Marilyn Lindemer is assistant manager there, presiding over the whole myriad of services that are offered.

When discussing job opportunities for students, she often jerks a thumb in the direction of the Denver skyline. It is an area laden with more "potential" employment than the Western Slope has potential energy.

The trick, as Lindemer is quick to point out, is turning that potential into a career for a student.

One of the major problems, she admits, is making the employers aware that Auraria has more to offer them than a cheap place to park.

"A lot of them," she said, jerking a thumb toward Seventeenth Street, "don't even know the campus is here."

Part of her job is to increase that awareness.

"Once a semester we do a large mail-

.and say 'Here are my credentials, when do I start?' You can't get a job that way," she said. As a result, the Career Office has instituted an orientation program to help students better prepare for the job search. The program is required of any student who wants to participate in on-campus interviews. _.,..

"Attitude is the most important part of getting a job," Lindemer said.

"Often, a job will go to the person who can interview best, and not to the most qualified.

Student ·group provides leads, contacts, skills

by Joanne Stanley Mielnick

Which Colorado companies employ mathematicians? ~ How many job openin~ does the United Banlc of Denver have each year?

The answers to these and many questions like them can be found almost instantaneously by the push of a button on the Colorado Career Information System (COCIS). ~ The COCIS computer located on the Auraria campus is available to everyone-you do not have to be cur. rently registered as a student.

COCIS contains information that is potentially useful to everyone from the graduating high school student who is ·Contemplating college to those who have been out of formal education for many years and the graduating college senior in search of a job. And a knowledge of computers is not necessary to use the terminal. / One function of COCIS is to help in career decisions. This is useful when deciding on a school to attend or if having trouble deciding on a major.

The procedure is to answer 20 questions about your interests, abilities, educational plans and work preferences. ~ COCIS matches the users answers to career possibilities. Then, based on those careers, the user is matched with a major and schools offering that particular field of study are printed out.

Recruiters say ~ hiring forecasts '·

too optimistic

by Carson Reed_ _

-

• -

While on-campus recruitment is holding steady at Auraria, the forecasts made by national recruiters for this year were "excessively optimistic," according to various surveys and reports.

The Endicott Report, a survey of 24"2 companies that recruit on a national level, predicted hiring levels that have failed to materialize this year, according to Victor Lindquist, who compiles and analyzes the yearly report.

"Changes occurred in- Novemb~ (when the report was compiled) to the first quarter of this year that were not anticipated," he said.

Lindquist blamed lower levels of hiring on slumps in the oil, mining, metals, and retail industries, as well as a generally poor economy.

"The oil industry, which has had enormous growth in the last few years, has had to pull back this year because of falling gas prices," Lindquist said.

Virginia Benfield, manager of College Recruiting for Texaco, Inc., confiqns this view.

"We were more optimistic about the economy last summer," she said.

And Ed Stengle, a local recruiter for Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO), also says his hiring levels are ~ffected by the lower gas prices.

"Domestic production is down,"t> Stengle said. "Like it or not, our hiring is directly tied to the price at the pumps."

Meanwhile, back at Auraria, the · assistant manager of Career Plannii:ig and Placement, Marilyn Lindemer, aq- vises students not to put too much faith in the energy boom markets in Denver.

"I call it 'the golden goose,' " she explained. "Too many students are putting their hopes into the energy field."

"Some of the students that I've interviewed don't know or care much abo\\t the industry," ARCO's Stengle said.

"They just want to get on the bandwagon."

- Other mining type industries have also been hit hard, especially in the midwest, where these companies are tied to automakers in Detroit.

"Our regular recruiters that are tied to the automotive industry just aren't hiring," says Pat Markle, placement coordinator at Western Kentucky University in Bolling Green. "Some have had to call and cancel their interview schedules."

"The basic metals industries are usually heavy recruiters;'' Lindquist said, "and they are barely holding their own this year."

Last November's forecasts had predicted accelerated hiring and ~ average rise in starting salaries of nine percent, according to the Endicott Report.

The College Placement Council's survey of 551 recruiters also indicated that corporations had high expectations last fall. Those expectations have not held up. So far, hiring has been down overall across the country.

Sharon Baughan, placement head at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), said that even the in-demand continued on page J5

As a result, competition for jobs is much higher on campuses.

'

VIVARIN®KEEPS YOU GOING

"Some students need a new perspective on the whole recruitment process," Lindquist of the Endicott Report said.

"Lines are forming two hours before sign-ups begin," says William Mitchell, who directs placement at Cal State, Sacramento, Cal. Describing competition as "Keen, keener, keenest," Sellers finds the grads of the 80s "better prepared" and "more / realistic" in their job search. '"" Markle at Western Kentucky said, "Young people are more concerned than before. They are competing with older, morE( experienced workers who have suddenly found trouble in the job market," she said. r An atmosphere of panic has erupted on some campuses, but placement officers generally feel that the students are showing a more positive attitude toward job hunting.

"Some students need a new perspective on the whole recruitment process," > Lindquist of the Endicott Report said.

"Attitude is very important in the job search. The time is past when a student can just throw as much bullshit on the wall as he can and wait to see what sticks."

Lindquist suggests that a good placement office should be a high priority on the list of requirements when choosing a school.

"A good placement office can advance your career by one or even two years," he said. ~ While investigating a prospective school, Lindquist said he would "go straight to placement and see what they offer," even opting for a less-prestigious school in exchange, if the efforts seem lukewarm. _ Lindquist also feels that ·some ad!' ministrators should have a change in at1 ' titude.

"One college administrator said to me 'There's no jobs, so why should there be a placement office,' "Linquist said.

"Now, I think that's crazy. You don't respond to a surge in mental health pro~'>: blems by closing down the psychiatrist's offices."

Although hiring is down overall, the effects of President Reagan's proposed defense spending is already having an effect in some areas.

Lindquist says that prime defense • contractors are showing outstanding strength.

In California, where an estimated 25 percent of the defense budget will be spent, Cal Stat~Sacramento Placement Director Mitchell estimates that "defense related recruitment is up 50 """- percent."

Other job officers confirm this trend, which is so heavy in California that "the recruiters are working anywhere they can find a student - on the school lawns, in the dorms and cafeterias."

Job hunters find prey in the sun

Expert's advice to rejects continued from page 7 Keep a lot of balls in the air so that no one "rejection" will stop you.

You Lack Support There are several kinds of people in the world' lovers, lifters, grabbers, haters and takers (to name a few).

Positive people tend to know positive people, negative people tend to know negative people. Be sure you stay in a positive network. When someone is especially warm or kind, ask if he knows any other "really friendly" people who might help. Chances are he will. When you meet a negative ("rejecting") person go somewhere else.

You've Found A Je~k Sometimes you do everything right and still get rejected. A client recently wrote a letter that said, "Jim Taylor's my name . . . Transportation's my game." The hiring executive wrote back, "We find your introduction somewhat interesting in that you say, "Transportation Is Your Game."

Transportation is not a game to us-it is serious business. Your brief rundown of experience indicates specialization in areas where we are adequately staffed with competent professionals."

This seems cold, hard, unfeeling-and final. What can Jim do?

"Judo" the rejection! For example, he could write back, "Thank you for your

letter of . . . Yes, you do seem to take your work seriously-perhaps too seriously! I'm sending along a couple of funny stories to help lighten your mood (include them). "I do take my work seriously. Here are examples (include them). You will find me a very helpful employee as so-and-so did (include a one line testimonial). Thank you for your attention ... Let's talk again."

Take your pwoer and use it. Don't let others have the last word. YOU have the last word. (The last word is "Success.")

You're Rejecting Yourself You' re telling yourself all the things you can't do, itemizing your failures.

Why not make a list of "Neat Things about Me" and don't be modest. Or keep a "win file." If someone says something nice about you, ask them to write to down.

Finally, remember how very special you are.

Know that you·r background-everything you've done (both positive and negative)-has a reason and purpose. It all fits together like a puzzle-and makes sense-if assembled properly.

Zig Ziglar said: "Most people . . . refuse to go out on a limb because they don't understand that ~fruit is always out on the limb." ~ out on the limb-even if it occasionallx means risking rejection.

''Pilot eens!You have 1o hold onto 11em with 1wo hands:'

CHAMPAIGN-URBANA, IL (CPS)-Midwestern college students should migrate to the Sun Belt states to find summer jobs this year, according to David Bechtel, the University of Illinois placement director.

But if they do that, they'll find "the recession has hit here, too," warns David Small, placement director at the University of Houston in the heart of the Sun Belt.

Bechtel says his suggestion to migrate, made as part of his annual assessment of the college student labor market, stemmed from a vision "of an influx of thousands of college students into an

already-horrible labor market here in the northern states."

He adds his notion that there are enough summer jobs in the Sun Belt to accommodate northern students is "only • an impression. We got it by readint- " reports, ·and hearing the same things everyone else does. THere's just moremoney down there."

But at least in Houston, "the insulation has worn off' the job market, Small reports. , Though the unemployment rate remains "fow, we're already noticing the effects of the large influx of people from northern states."

The proposed setdement stipulated that Bacds grades for the three classes be expunged; lre receive a tuition refund of $192.41; Baca agree not to seek to enroll for any further instmction in the MSC art department, but that he could register interinstitutionally and work toward an MSC degreee; and that acc€ptance of the settlement by Baca would specifically bar him from "pursuing in an forum, administrative or judicial, any of these claims against any

entity or person."

The three respondents did not find the proposal agreeable, They objected to the

provision that would permit Baca to ' earn a degree from MSC. . Baca, too, took objection to the proposal, but for another reason. He had hoped to maintain the right to pursue the case in another forum.

"This was supposed to be an ad-

ministrative solution, not a judicial one." Baca said. "I rvant to r€serve mv right to. pursue tTris later, after this G

"I hope, for everybody's sake, it goes that way," Moland said Monday.

il we go into a hearing situation or a court situation, it's going to be a v€ry nasty affair. We all know there are no winners in a situation like that.

depends on who one talks to.

To hear Baca tell it, his case is a result of a system fraught with inadequacies, "I'm a victim of the incpnslstencies

that erist within institutions today,"

Baca said, "the racism, the sexism, the chauviriism against students in general."

Houghton doesn't understand Baca's charges.

"Racist?" Houghton wondered. "To give Eric a good grade for his work rather than the grade he really earned would be racist. Is a low grade racist?"

Moland doesn't think it's too hard to read between the lines of Wright's suggestion to reassign. him.

"When an acting president takes no action for seven months, and then suggests a reassignment and advertises my job," Moland asked, "what does that tell. you?"

So, as MSC prepares to welcome thd

fourth president of its l9-year history, the Eric Baca,case continu€s.

However, after consideration, Baca a willingness to compromise on the issue in order to put it to rest.

"If they're willing to resolve this specific complaint I have against them, I can overlook that," Baca said, The art department returned the unsigned proposal to Sunderwirth's office, along with its proposed amendments. It, in turn, will be returned to the attorney general's office.

On April 19, Wright recrived

With the, administration s latest attempt to bring about a solution to the suit back on the drawing board, Sunderwirth has adopted a resigned attitude, 'At'this point, I don't give a darn if anybody sigru it," Sunderwirth said April 23. "As much time as I've spent with it, it would be really nice to either get rid of it or do something with it."

"It's been a real thorn in everyone's side, I've put every ounce of energr I could into this thing. I can't put any' more into it."

Moland, however, does have the energ/. He filed suit with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission against MSC to keep his Affirmative Ac-. tion directorship.

On April 23 Moland declined to comment on his suit, other than to say he'd "been placed in what I feel is an untenable position."

On the following Monday, Moland reported that MSC had drafted an agreement that was agreeable to him.

Acting-president Wright was scheduled to discuss the agreement \rith MSC president-elect Fontera on Tuesday during Fontera's four-day visit to Auraria and, if it's agreeable to him, it will be signed and turned over to Moland for his
