Page lyrhe Maroon Tiger/February 17, 1983 Scholarships, Announcements Cape Cod Summer Job Opportunities . . . including the islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard BARNSTABLE, Mass. - The resort areas of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and the offshore islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket are experiencing a growing problem in finding summer employees to properly service a rapidly expanding tourist and convention industry. While seasonal jobs will be scarce elsewhere this summer, Cape Cod and the Islands will be offering over 55,000 good summer jobs in 1983. Most require little or nor prior ex perience. Because it is impossible to fill these jobs with local residents, most of whom make up the year ‘round work force, it is necessary to draw heavily from other geographic areas to satisfy this seasonal need. As in the past several years, the Cape Cod Summer Job Bureau has coordinated an effort to assemble all pertinent facts on available summer employment and has published this informa tion in a concise directory of summer job opportunities listing over 100 categories, some of which follow: Lifeguards, swimming instruc tors, beach maintenance; camp counselors, craft instructors; island ferry crews, deep sea fishing party boats, scenic railroad crews; yacht clubs, marina work, sailing instructors, charter cruises, scuba diving, salvange work, etc.; resort hotels, food service, restaurants, culinary, bartenders, waitress/ waiter. Also, summer police (uniform- ed), security guards; groundswork, property maintenance, greenskeeping; carpentry, house painting; tennis and golf instructors; tutoring, governess, live-in helpers, etc.; summer stock theatre, stage hands; musicians, band members; retail sales - gift and antique shops; museum and aquarium staff; airport per sonnel; Also, taxi drivers and chauffeurs; hospital work, nurse’s aids, etc; auction houses; kiosk rentals for selling, own crafts; fast food & baker per sonnel; fishing and shellfish industries; newspaper work (cir culation, etc.); and secretarial/ clerical positions. Hiring has already started in many job categories. The sole function of the Cape Cod Summer Job Bureau is to make available the names and addresses of local employers who hire extra summer help, with job descriptions and numbers of employees needed in each category, and a useful cross-reference map of the area. The Job Bureau is not an employ ment agency, and therefore charges no fees to employers or employees. Included in the directory is a listing of summertime educational opportunities, academic courses for college credit, as well as cultural classes in music, theatre, and the arts. For a copy of the 1983 Direc tory send $2.00 to cover first class postage and handling to: Cape Cod Summer Job Bureau, Box 594, Barnstable, MA 02630.

University of Washington Methodological Note Raters were asked to evaluate the faculty quality of each school as distinguished, strong, good, acceptable, Or marginal. The distinguished category was coded 1, and the codes increased so that marginal departments were coded 5. The raters were then asked to evaluate educational attractiveness by indicating that a school was very attrac tive, attractive, acceptable, or not attractive. The very attrac tive designation was coded 1, with codes increasing up to 4 for not attractive. The average rating for faculty quality was calculated from all responses to that question. Unanimity of belief that a school’s faculty was distinguished would have resulted in a score of 1; and if it were judged marginal, it would be rated 5. The average rating on educational attrac tiveness was calculated in the same manner, but the range of possible average scores was 1 (highest) to 4 (lowest). The combined score is the sum of the scores for faculty quality and educational at tractiveness for individuals who responded to both questions. Hence the range of values for the combined scores was between 2 and 9. Since raters evaluating a school's educational attrac tiveness extremely negatively cannot give a 5, but those with extreme negative evaluations of faculty quality can give a 5, the negative effect of very low educational attractiveness is slightly dampened. In other words, schools with minimal levels of faculty quality and average levels of educational attractiveness will look worse in combined score (7.5) than will a school with minimal educational attractiveness and average faculty quality (7.0). However, since we are more concerned with schools whicha re highly rated (presumably those with very few of the lowest ratings), and since the total number of raters is large, the results published here are not significantly affected by the differing ranges of values in the two rating questions.
