Job prospects excellent
for University graduates

It appears the job market is
not such a foreboding a place
for University graduates after
all
A recent survey conducted by
the University Career Planning
and Placement Service dis
covered 89 percent of last
June's graduates found em
ployment
‘U of O graduates do
much better in the
marketplace than
many suspect. ’
“U of O graduates do much
better in the job market-place
than many people suspect,”
says Larry Smith, University di
rector of career planning and
placement.
The quality of students at
tracted to the University and the
high standard of education may
account for University grad
uates' popularity with em
ployers, Smith speculates.
' They’re like any consumer,”
r
he says, explaining that pro
spective employers need to get
the best value they can out of
their recruiting efforts.
Not only did many grads find
jobs, but two-thirds of them
were hired in Oregon, Smith
says. In addition, he says more
than 77 percent of the employed
graduates are working full-time,
and 69 percent are working in
career-related fields.
But neither Smith nor his
department takes credit for this
success. Career planning is
more an intermediary between
employers and potential em
ployees than a job broker, Smith
explains. The placement service
merely tries to match organiza
tional needs with the students’
needs, he says, noting that most
jobs are secured through per
sonal contact with the em
ployer, not soley through his
office.
"We re trying to facilitate that
personal contact through our
day on the job' and career
information programs," Smith
says
He points out that two com
panies have targeted the
University as a potential source
of employees. Hublin Wines
Group, makers of Taylors of
California wine, and Soloman
Brothers, an investment firm,
Reagan stops
‘hemorrhage ’
Washington (AP)- President Reagan, attempting to stem
what he called a "hemorrhage” of leaks of classified infor
mation, warned government employees Tuesday that he will
investigate any further leaks by "all legal methods."
At the same time, Reagan banned federal employees from
"all contacts with any element of the news media in which
classified National Security Council matters or classified
intelligence information are discussed” unless approved in
advance by an unidentified "senior official.”
Meanwhile, it was reported that the Pentagon already had
begun giving lie detector tests.
The Washington Post reported today that some members of
the Defense Resources Board had been given lie detector
tests over a story appearing in the newspaper last week
That story said the board had received a projection that the
administration s rearmament plans for 1984-1988 would cost
$750 billion more than the $1.5 trillion the administration had
estimated Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger said later
the projection was a “wish list” of what could be spent
without restraint and the administration did not plan spending
of such a magnitude.
The newspaper quoted Defense Department spokesman
Henry Catto as saying officials were upset not over possible
security violations but that "someone on the team” talked
about what happened at the board meeting
The telephone of the Defense Department’s spokesman on
call was busy for a prolonged period Tuesday night

actively recruit University
graduates, Smith says. The
University is one of three
schools from which Hublin
searches for future employees;
Soloman Brothers recruits from
28 schools.
Career planning has
launched an "aggressive cam
paign" to bring new employers
onto campus, Smith says, ad
ding "we’re bringing in new
people all the time.”
Career planning supplies
companies with information
about the University and its
students. Then, says Smith,
“they (the company) make the
decision to come or not to
come."
