Penn State is a deserted oasis
Low enrollment affects jobs, renl
By DON FOSTER
Collegian Staff Writer
Every summer there is a drastic cut in student
enrollment at University Park accompanied by lay
offs, job shifts and vacations.
According to Otto Mueller, assistant vice president
for Housing and Food Services, nearly 150 department
employees are laid off during the summer.
“Most of these people chose to work only nine or ten
months a year," Mueller said. “Another 150 are laid
off, but are given alternate work with the maintenance
department.”
Mueller said during a typical summer only 25 per cent
of dorm spaces are filled. “In the summer there are
usually 2,000 to 2,200 people living on campus,” Mueller
said. “Subleasing during the summer is so cheap that
the people who would normally live in the halls move off
campus to apartments.”
Food Services is able to compensate for the low
residency rate during June, July,and August when there
are a number of conferences taking place on campus.
“The summer also is an opportunity to catch up on
maintenance work that is hard to do during the year,”
Mueller said.

According to Frank Clemson, employment service
supervisor in State College, the low enrollment
“basically has no great effect on the number of unem
ployed in the area.”
“June is always a busy time of year for us due to the
large number of recent high school and college
graduates," Clemson said. “But generally the low
enrollment does not cause us any increase in the
number of applicants.”
For local businessmen the summer does mean a
slowdown, but this does not cause any major problems.
“Business is geared to 80-90 per cent student and
faculty business: When the enrollment drops from
almost 35,000 to almost 10,000, there must be a
slowdown,” said Steve Long, University Book Centre
manager. .
Long said although the store “doesn’t take enough in
for overhead during the summer," no employees are
off because they work getting the store ready for Fall
term.
Bill Cluck of the Lazy J said business now is a little
slower, “but people always smoke.” He said a lot of
people come to State College during the summer to visit
friends: “After all, Centre County is a summer place.”

“However, if the student is serious enough about fine

that there are a lot of people calling for babysitting an

The summer may be the only time of year'that th

apartments lower their rates during the summer.

Kufrovich said many students who don’t want to sta;
the summer get stuck with 12-month leases and th<
