The Michigan Daily Vol. XCIII, No. 7-S Ann Arbor, Michigan - Thursday, May 19, 1983 Ten Cents Twenty Pages RECESSION HURTS STUDENTS Summer jobs hard to find By DAN GRANTHAM If you're looking for a job this summer, there's only one comforting thought - you're not alone. Michigan's unemployment figures may be getting better, hut it isn't any easier for students to, find work this summer, according to weary job hunters and area business people. "EVEN IN MY field, that's supposed to he open, it's hard to get part-time work," said computer science major Larry Kahn, who has joined the ranks of students searching the bulletin board at the University's Student Employment Office for job op- portunities. But the office doesn't receive a full listing of job openings at the University, so it is up to students to do their own searching, said Student Employment Of- fice Director Vivian Hoey. "The Student Employment office receives some postings for off-campus and on-campus jobs, but en- courages students to be more aggressive in their ap- proach," Hoey said. BEING MORE aggressive includes going straight to the departments or talking to professors to find openings, she says. Traditional student employers such as the libraries, the University Hospital, and the grounds maintenance division of the plant department say they have already filled their summer positions. Some, like the plant department, have felt the budget cutting axe. "We're not hiring as many as we usually do because of the financial cuts," says Bob Han- selman, a grounds division foreman. But students who turn to the streets of Ann Arbor for jobs won't find much better conditions in the real world. WHILE FIGURES show that unemployment in Michigan decreased 1.5 percent between March and April, area businesses are still feeling the economic pinch - they've kept their same staff for the winter or simply increased working hours instead of hiring new help.

The troop of University students were practicing their part in a 24-play medieval theater performance in Toronto next week. The actors will perform the play twice today, at 4:30 at campus Chapel, and 6 p.m. in front of the Rackham building.
