Local payrolls to rise
Job market in
West looking brighter
By KEVIN HARDEN

The employment outlook for the
Eugene area may be better than
expected, according to a national
survey by Manpower, Inc., a tem
porary job placement service.
The survey, which was com
piled by geographic sections for
the Manpower headquarters in
Milwaukee, Wise., explains that
Eugene area employers antici
pate “moderate to substantial ad
ditions to their payrolls within the
next three months.” Most of those
additions will be for full-time em
ployees, says John Leuck, man
ager of the Eugene Manpower
branch.
The survey is compiled quar
terly on an annual basis, Leuck
says, and is used by some
businesses as an indication of hir
ing trends. The results of the na
tional survey are published in the
Wall Street Journal and several
other business publications.
Geographically, the West is
several percentage points higher
than the rest of the nation in em
ployment possibilities, Leuck
says.
Chances for full-time employ
ment in construction, warehous
ing, service industries and
tradesmen helpers are good,
Leuck says. But the part-time em
ployment outlook is about the
same as usual for the city.
"The part-time situation is pretty
stable for the businesses,” he
says. “But, generally speaking,
when the rest of the industries
begin to hire full-time, then part
time hiring also increases.”
Eugene-Springfield, which is
served by the local Manpower
branch, has been “somewhat

‘We believe the state board is on trial, not us,’ Kelley says
The first of the 23 trials of the anti-aparteid
demonstrators arrested at Johnson Hall, Jan.
25, will be held in municipal court Tuesday, at 1
p.m.
The South African Liberation Support
Committee(SALSC) will hold a gathering on
the EMU Terrace at noon Tuesday and will
furnish transportation to anyone interested in
attending the opening day of the trial.
Cameron Lynn Kelley, of 1841 E. 15th Ave.,
will be the first defendant. All 23 have pleaded
innocent.
‘ We believe the state board is on trial, not
us," says Kelley.
Last month, a request to consolidate the
trials into one was denied by Judge John
Biggs.
Higher Education officials scheduled to ap
pear include University President William
Boyd, Freeman Holmer, Vice-chancellor of
higher education and Ed Branchfield, chief
counsel for higher education.
Last week, Holmer and Branchfield were de
nied appeals in municipal court to quash the
subpoenas issued to them.
The court is still deciding whether Roy
Lieuallen, chancellor for higher education,
must testify or not.
Representing the defendents are Attorney
Mike Goldstein and Susan Miller with Family
Law Practice. James J. Spickerman will be the
prosecuter.
The defendants were charged with trespas

hour sit-in at the State Board of Higher

Leuck says.
A similar survey a year ago pro
duced some apprehension
among businesses, Leuck says.
That survey also reported a good
employment forcast while more
businesses disagreed.
That survey was “highly valid,
Leuck says, because it showed a
good employment picture, before
hiring started to increase.

If the decision goes against the state board and divestment, the
PSAF plans to take the issue to court. The IFC has recently allocated
$500 to support the possible suit.
According to board documents, approximately $6 million worth of
stock in 27 companies would have to be sold if the attorney general
rules for divestment.
