Heritage Club, Studont jobs starito' d.cllne aftor encoura By Donna Prout After an optimistic spring for summer job seekers, the student labour market seems to be tightening up. The months of May and June saw, increases in employment ac- tivity in the Exeter Employ- ment Centre for Students but since the beginning of July, orders for student workers have dropped off considerably. In June, there was an overall increase in student placements of 15 percent . from 1983. Some 131 students found regular summer jobs through the employment cen- tre and 61 students found casual jobs lasting for 5 days or less. In 1983 there were 97 regular placements and 70 casual placements. Both 1983 and 1984 statistics dre a great improvement over 1982 which was a dismal year,for student employment with 49 regular placements and 28 casual by the end of June.

The cauliflower harvest in the South Iluron area is in progress now and students are employed in that area as well. More employment in the cauliflower fields is expected as the 1984 crop matures.
