Work-study -con,i',u,d
headed by Vice Pres, for Ad
ministration Dan Williams,
released its study in the spring,
“there is no plan to implement
it because it is still being
reviewed,” says Muriel
Jackson, assistant for
administration.
“It is a series of recommenda
tions only, and what the ad
ministration decides to pro
mulgate may be quite different
from task force recommenda
tions,” Jackson says.
Meanwhile, the lines will re
main long.
“Any time you’re trying to
place approximately 2,000
students in jobs in one week,
you’ll have lines,” says Ed
Vignoul, director of student
financial aid. "It's an awful lot
of people in a short amount of
time, and the job they’re doing
is really quite good,” he says.
Ken Masterson, supervisor of
student employment and work
study placement, estimates
there are 300 more jobs than
there are eligible work-study
students. “No one who has ever
wanted a work-study job has not
gotten one,” he says.
Masterson says the line pro
blem occurs because all the
students must go through a cer
tain point in order to control the
number sent to each employer.

“That’s when the bottleneck oc
curs.” he says.
“It’s wishful thinking to hope
we won’t have lines. There’s
been a lot more work this year to
this point, but it’s been sped up
considerably by the elimination
of some paperwork,” Masterson
adds. “With 2,000-plus people
at the door, the odds were better
at the Alamo.”
There are approximately
2,700 students eligible for
work-study, says Larry Smith,
director of Career Planning and
Placement. However, there are
no accurate figures on how
many jobs actually are
available, he says.
“We’ve revised procedures
this year, and now we're handl
ing twice as many students per
day," Smith says. He estimates
that 500 students are processed
daily.
“But we didn’t anticipate the
volume of students. We thought
they’d be more evenly
distributed throughout the
week, so we have learned to
staff-up and use faster ways of
processing people," Smith
says.
The eight staff members in
charge of work-study process
ing recently switched to an ap
pointment system, where the
students sign up in advance in
stead of waiting in line for their
validation, he says.
“We have made some im
provements, and the students
have been extremely patient
with us. I’d say we've improved
500 percent, but we need 5.000
percent,” Smith says.
This year, students waited in
the EMU lobby instead of lining
up outside the Job Location and
Development office on Agate
Street as in previous years.
