Increase in summer student jobs seen
Students in the market for a summer
job may be having a difficult time as May
arrives, although Fresno employment ad¬
visers and agency workers say there is still
a chance to locate a job, if the search
Paul DeRuosi, supervisor in CSUF's
student employment center, stated that by
the end of April most summer jobs are
taken, but -that doesn't mean that the ball
game is over."
DeRuosi expects on-campus jobs to be
scarce this summer, but last week he said
that a number of local summer jobs are
just coming into his office.
"If students are looking for local sum¬
mer jobs, now's the time." he said
He added that the steady level of in¬
coming jobs in recent weeks is expected to
continue for a couple of weeks after the
semester ends.
While he stressed that there is not an
abundance of jobs in the air. he said he
believes there will be more job opportun¬
ities this summer than last summer. His
office, he noted, has received more jobs at
this point in the year as compared to the
same time last year.
"If a student thinks seriously about
what they want, and prepare a resume and
watch bulletin boards, as well as doing
personal job searches, the job market can
be positive," DeRuosi said.
Students looking for jobs can expect to
find summer work in the traditional
fields—fast food services and retailing.

Job market open to grad students
(CPS)—This spring's college graduates
can look forward to a job market that is
"very improved." compared to last year's
gloomy employment scene, placement
experts report, but it's still nowhere near
the booming market of the late 1970s and
early 1980s.
"There's a decided turnaround in the
market, and I think it's going to continue
for a while," said Victor Lindquist,
placement director at Northwestern Univ¬
ersity and author of the Endicott Report
on nationwide employment trends for
college graduates.
"It's kind of nice after going through
two successive years of tailing activity to
see job offers coming back in," he added.
Indeed, the number of job offers made
to nearly one million students who will
graduate with bachelor's degrees this
spring is up about 33 percent nationally,
said Linda Pengilly with the College Place¬
ment Council (CPC).
"It's a big improvement over last year,
she noted.
"Much, much better than 1983," said
Jack Shingleton, placement chief at Mich¬
igan State University and director of
another nationwide job market study.
"We're seeing more employers coming
in to interview, hiring quotas are up for all
companies about five percent, and more
offers are being made," he said.
General Motors' hiring needs "are
really up for graduates, and we're looking
primarily for engineering and computer
science majors," said Walt Rolm, GM*s
college recruitment director.
Likewise, IBM will hire more grads'
than last year, said spokesman Les Sabor. *
To fill the company's 10,000 openings.
this year, IBM recruiters are visiting over
350 campuses, in search of grads with
technical skills, business majors, and even
some liberal arts graduates, he said.
AT&T, in the wake of hs recent divestiture,
will hire "about the same" number of
grads as last year, and expects to increase
its job openings dramatically by 1985.
officials reported.
Last year's market "was the worst in
recent history," recalled Pengilly. "Offers
and salaries hit rock bottom."
Following the record-breaking markets
of the 1970s, when many graduates were
getting multiple job offers and suiting
salaries were increasing at nine to 13
percent a year, in the last two years
employers have cancelled campus inter¬
views, cut back on the number of job
offers, and gave little, if any, increases in
starting salaries, she explained.
"Now the "84 grad has a much more
optimistic market to go into," Pengilly
said. "Things are still restrained, but
•See Jobs, page 9
Yet DeRuosi said that the jobs his office is
receiving vary greatly, and he's been
pleased with the type of work that relates
to a student's major.
"This year is better than last year with
respect to the number and variety of jobs."
DeRuosi stated. "Fresno is' a good com¬
munity."
Urban Jensen, manager of the Employ¬
ment Development Department in west
Fresno, said that unemployment for
youths between 16 and W in Fresno will
be about 30 percent. However, Jensen still
showed optimism.
"1 feel that the economy is proving
better this year than last year—I*d like to
think there are more opportunities for
students," Jensen said.
Like DeRuosi, Jensen recommended
CSUF students to register with the place¬
ment office on campus, or with the Youth
Employment Center in Fresno.
Boy Scouts
seek college
volunteers
By Shatter Um
 -     Staff writer	
For those students interested in being of
public service to the community or seek¬
ing a way to occupy their summer vaca¬
tion months. David Kyle, of the Boy
Scouts of America, said he has the answer.
Kyle is inviting college students to serve
as volunteers for the Scouts' expanding
'Exploring' program.
The program matches girls and boys,
ages 14-21, with various areas of interest
As the district executive for the pro¬
gram, Kyle said that volunteers can choose
from supervising backpacking trips to
overseeing the activities of handicapped
children and adults.
"We can always find a slot for the
volunteer," said Kyle.
The ideal situation for a volunteer, he
said, would be someone who can assist in
the planning stages of the Exploring pro¬
gram and then return as a one-year volun¬
teer. There is not, however, a minimum
amount of time that one can work in the
program, he said.
The Scout representative said the organ¬
ization is looking for students to volunteer
for one of four positions: post advisors
who supervise Scout members, instruc¬
tors who train post advisors' who super¬
vise Scout members, instructors who train
post advisors in adult leadership, volun¬
teers who help with planning programs,
and public relations workers who serve as
liaisons between the Boy Scouts of Amer¬
ica and the local news media.
In Fresno and Madera counties, the
Exploring program is divided into 33 sub¬
programs, or posts. Each post explore* •
particular area of interest and involves
about IS Scout members.
Among them are the High Adventure
