Survey blames faltering economy for large
drop in college graduate hiring quotas

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP)
- Employers are indicating the
sharpest drop in hiring quotas since
the 1982-83 recession, giving new
college graduates a tighter job mar-
ket for the second straight year, a
university survey says.
Uncertainty clouds the job-
prospects picture, say two Michigan
State University officials in the
school's 20th annual national
survey.
Thomas Luten and Patrick
Scheetz, director and assistant direc-
tor, respectively, of the Michigan
State Career Development and
Placement Services, report doubt and
negative attitudes about a worsening
American economy, a looming re-
cession, and the possibility of war in
the Middle East.
That has made many employers
conservative in their hiring plans,
they say.
"Dating back to 1982-83, the
past two years have seen the most
serious drop in hiring quotas for new
college graduates," Scheetz said.
He said quotas dropped 16.8 per-
cent in 1982-83 compared to the
previous year. In 1989, the drop was
13.3 percent, and the decrease this
year is 9.8 percent, based on re-
sponses from 549 employers.
Much of the decline, Scheetz
said, "is due to federal budget cuts
which have a trickling effect down to
state and local governments."
Government hires are expected to
drop 28.7 percent, according to the
survey. Business and industry em-
ployers indicate a decrease of 5.1
percent and school systems are ex-
pecting to hire 9.2 percent fewer new
college graduates.
Starting salaries for new college
graduates with bachelor's degrees are
expected to rise 2.8 percent, to
$26,458. Luten said that's largely
due to salaries for engineers, which
most jobs command starting salaries
of more than $30,000.
Starting salary levels for advanced
degrees averaged $38,563 for masters
in business administration (MBA)
graduates, a 6.6 percent increase;
$35,634 for master's degrees gradu-
ates, up 6.5 percent, and $39,591 for
doctoral degree graduates, up four
percent.
But job openings for new MBA
graduates are expected to decline,

according to the Michigan State
survey.
Employers noted too much con-
cern for money and a lack of a strong
work ethic among job-seekers, Luten
and Scheetz reported.
Hiring of minorities was repo
up 14.9 percent, they said.
Increased hiring was expected
among glass, packaging and allied
products; hospitals and health-care
services; merchandising and retail-
ing; hotels, motels, restaurants and
recreational facilities; and banking,
finance and insurance.
Decreases in hiring are expected.

The National Lawyers Guild was

empowered people."

The complainant told police she
went with the suspect into an alley,
where he bound her with an un-
known material and made her "do it."
Lieut. Cygan said that because of her
"distraught" condition, the woman
was unable to furnish further details.
A city detective will interview her
again today.
Police reports indicate the woman
was with two friends who were gath-

observed the woman talking with a
"stranger," and then lost sight of her.

Advertising also perpetuates vio-
lence by objectifying women. Kil-
bourne said, "Violence is almost
inevitable when you turn a human
being into a thing."
Racism is reflected in advertising,
Kilbourne said. "Racism and sexism
are often intertwined in advertising
as well as real life. Women in gen-
eral are sub-human. The situation is
even worse for women of color," she
said.
Audience members enjoyed the
examination of social issues. LSA
junior Devlin Ponte said, "Most of
the people that came here probably
realize that there is a problem in a
social context. It was definitely en-
lightening to the extent of how it's
hidden and how we're manipulated
because of our American values."
Kilbourne advocated change. "The
more we can do to encourage and
empower each other the better. The
images are wounding all of us:
women, men, and children. What's
at stake is our ability to have au-
thentic lives. Nothing less," she
said.
Deba Patnaik, an East Quad Res-
idence Hall Coordinator, said, "I
hope we get some kind of action lo-
cally." He said ads in the Michigan
