(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.

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. this year in agricultural business construction and building contrac- tors; drugs and related products; elec- tronics and related equipment manu- facturers; the military; food and bev- erage processing; tire and related products; aerospace and components; public utilities; petroleum and allied products; lumber and wood products; and communications.

Members of the guild have been discussing ways in which they can contribute to the anti-deputization movement. A plan, still in its pre- liminary stages, involves guild members acting as police observers during protests and rallies.

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."
