Teachers’ job scene brightens
The once-gloomy em
ployment picture for prospec
tive elementary and secondary
school teachers is improving,
and is likely to get better
through at least the mid-1980s,
Rape occurs
in University
residence hall
A University woman was
raped in her dormitory room
early Saturday morning by a
man who climbed into the un
locked, upper-level window via
the roof of the Walton Housing
Complex.
Eugene police, still inves
tigating the crime, say the sus
pect is a stocky white man in
his early 20s with short, curly,
brown hair. Police say the rapist
woke the woman at 3 a m. and
threatened to abuse her phy
sically. He then raped her and
fled through the window.
The rape is the second in a
University dormitory this
academic year. Last fall, a rapist
attacked a woman while she
watched television in the
basement of the Bean dorm
i complex.

University officials say.
In an annual placement report
of recent education graduates
in teaching jobs, Sanford Heins,
coordinator of education
placement in the University Ca
reer Planning and Placement
Service, said teacher shortages
exist in several specialties,
while oversupplies make the job
market tight in other areas.
For example, the report said
there are more jobs than ap
plicants in special education,
mathematics, science, indus
trial education, vocational
agriculture and business
education. However, fewer op
portunities exist in the fields of
physical education, social
science, art, speech and drama,
and health education.
Overall, Hein's report shows
teacher supply and demand
varies by teaching field, level
and geographic region.
The toughest market to break
into appears to be higher
education, a field, the report
says, where job opportunities
“continue to decline in the face
of fiscal constraints across the
country.”

the previous year's University
graduates in secondary and
elementary education were able
to find jobs in the fall. Ninety
percent of those placements
were in Oregon, and the odds
improved for people willing to
move to where jobs can be
found, according to the report.
Many of those who could not
find jobs were unwilling to
move, while others were taking
jobs as substitute teachers, the
report said.
Heins stressed the impor
tance of mobility and a meth
odical job search as keys to
obtaining a teaching position.
"I don't see many people still
looking for a job in September if
they are prepared and can move
to where the job is.”
Generally, according to Heins
and national placement statis
tics, teaching opportunities are
greater at the elementary than
secondary level.
"Today,” Heins said, "secon
dary teachers in particularly
tight specialties need a second
teaching area,” such as math
ematics or English.
Group wants King holiday
Because he worked to insure
the rights of all human beings,
Dr. Martin Luther King’s birth
day should be made a national
holiday, says the president of
the University’s Black Student
Union.
To promote the idea, the un
ion will circulate petitions in the
EMU lobby this week and spon
sor a three-hour film titled
“King” Wednesday night.
Donald Brown, BSU pre
sident, says there is no na
tional black holiday and King

deserves to have a holiday in his
honor.
“We want to re-emphasize
what Dr King stood for,’’ Brown
says. “He was for al people.”
The union’s week-long effort
also will include a Thursday
night reception commemorat
ing King's birthday and honor
ing Derrick Bell, dean of the
University law school. There are
also tentative plans for a poetry
reading and public lecture on
Wednesday afternoon.
Asked if he expected the drive
to rally much support on cam
pus, Brown says, “My first in
clination is to be pessimistic, but
when I think about how this
community has acted politically
(in the past), I feel very optimis
tic.”
However, regardless of the
campus response, the BSU
doesn’t intend to stop its efforts
until King’s birthday, January
15, is “made a national holiday
or until we are told it won’t be
made a national holiday.”
The BSU’s effort will be part of
a nation-wide black effort to
gain official recognition of
King’s accomplishments. The
effort includes a march, led by
musician Stevie Wonder, in Wa
shington, D C. on King’s birth
day.
