BETHLEHEM. PA(CPS) —Students
who graduate in 1986 will enjoy "slightly*
better prospects for landing a job than
1985 grads. the College Placement Council
iCPC) predicts.
All told. American businesses expect to
hire about two percent more grads next
year, the CPC found in its annual mid-year
assessment   of  the   student  job
The CPCs report, the first of three
published by major agencies in November
and December of each year, forecasts bet¬
ter limes ahead for most kinds of majors.
But last year, the CPCs rosy predic-
for collefe grads did not come true, in part
because of the computer industry (lump.
"The recovery slowed down to some
degree." explained CPC
spokeswoman Rhea Nagle. "The big fall-
off in the Silicon Valley was the category
This year "there will be plenty of oppor-
(fo
nput
majors) outside the computer industry,"
said John Shingleton,
placement director at Michigan State and
the sponsor of another of the annual job
outlooks.
Shingleton expects his report to appear
in a few weeks, and that it also will indi¬
cate a "slightly" better job market for the
Class of 1986.
He also predicts starting salaries will
rise more slowly than the Cost of Living
1 ndex compiled by the federal government.
In the CPC survey, firms said they
expected to hire seven percent more busi¬
ness grads than last year. They also fore¬
cast having four percent more openings
for masters of business administration,
although last year was a bad one for
MBAs.
Students with degrees in science,
math and technical disciplines —excluding
engineering — should also experience a
slightly improved
job market. CPC predicts.
Employers expect to hire three percent
more bachelor's grads in these areas and
13 percent more who have a master's,
CPC data show.
Employers' predictions of engineering
grads' prospe c-t s "are
contradictory," Nagle says. "Employers
are saying one thing, but when they pro¬
ject figures, those figures show a decline."
The data indicate corporations will hire
five percent fewer grads this year, but in
interviews engineering executives thought
there would be a rising demand for
engineers, explained Nagle.
"It's particularly surprising at the bach¬
elor's level because they have been the
most sought after for a number of years,"
she added.
Companies expect to have seven
percent  more job  openings  for

Costs could be kept down if professors
would be willing to accept larger enrol¬
lments in their -normal" classes while
allowing for smaller classes in the honors
program, Frtur said.
"If you can keep enrollment to 12 or
undent s great," Frair said. "But once you
reach 25, then I donl see much different as
a professor between 25 and 40.
"We're not talking about changing your
eight man section to a 3» man section.
We're talking about changing your 30
man section to a 33 man section."
. Frair said the honor/committee hopes
to have a recommendation to submit to

osal would be reviewed by the Faculty

Liberal arts'majors face a similarly con¬
fusing job market. Nagle said. While
the data show companies anticipate hiring
three percent fewer liberal arts majors in
the coming year, many employers say they
value of the skins liberal arts majors have.'*
Of the contradictions in the
survey responses. Nagle. spec-
ulated, "Maybe, if the survey was bigger,
the results would have been
different.

Morales said the suggestions she has
heard from patrons are'for the Bucket to
have an outdoor patio, pool tables, a fire¬
place and booths.
Becky Miller, 24, agreed with having an
outside silting area added on to the place
as she sat in the Bucket having a beef
Tuesday, She was not in favor of the'idea
of moving the establishment
"They'shouldn't do. that.".she said.
"This is a good location."
Miller's friend, Anthony Plaaencia, 21,
looked; around the room and said. "The
sight they have now looks pretty much
like a barroom.' It could use some decor."
That same feeling came from Bucket
employee Cherie Bowman.
"They need to get rid of the waterfall
scene over the re, "she said, pointing to the
back wall. "Booths would be nice," said
Bowman. "It would be nice to have a
stage."-   ;
Twenty-one-year-old Scot Cheney sat
in the Bucket Tuesday waiting for a
friend. He would like to see more of a
school-type look to the room. "It kind of
does look run down a little," he said.
