f. Alumni feed twelve strangers To give students, faculty members and alumni an opportunity to meet outside the classroom UNL's Alumni Association is sponsoring Dinner For Twelve Strangers every Sunday through Aoril in the homes of Lincoln alumni. PE h dinner party will consist ot two , alumn couples, two faculty couples and four students with the same major interests. According to Don Walters, Student Alumni Board member, the dinners are aimed at building stronger ties between students, alumni, and FOR FAMOUS MAKER QUALITY AT SPECTACULAR SALE PRICES SPECTACULAR PORCH Ap j We just bou ght a huge stock of the rpriced at ess toasj .

Walters said three pilot dinners last year were successful. He said students will benefit by meeting with people in their professions, faculty members will benefit by talking with students informally and alumni will gain by learning the student's point of view. Any student interested in participating should contact the Alumni Association Office. Students seeking few jobs By Jim Zalewski While many victims of the recession are seeking employment, most UNL students apparently are satisfied with their job situation. Jack Ritchie, UNL director of Scholarships and Financial Aids, said few students are seeking employment. His office maintains a listing of jobs in the Lincoln area, but can't find many takers among the students, he said, "It is kind of strange," he said. "With the economy the way it is, I thought the students would grab anything they could." The Scholarships and Financial Aids office has a certain number of openings each year in work-study programs, he said. Financial Aids has to offer the jobs to approximately twice as many students needed to fill the position, Ritchie said. "If we have 600 positions open in work-study, we have to offer them to about 1,100 students in order to fill them all," he said. "Maybe they (students) get their jobs somewhere else." Job variety The job file in the Financial Aids office contains jobs from businesses as well as university departments, he said. "Our listings pretty much cover the whole range of jobs," he said. "These jobs usually average 12 to 15 hours per week." The Financial Aids list of jobs is primarily for UNL students, but Ritchie said high school students occasionally use the listing if they need to make money for college and have indicated interest in attending UNL.

"More than 50 per cent of the students indicated a preference for work in their field of study," she said. "However, only about two of the students said they would not take a job in another field." Bill introduced Students soon may receive help. LB370, introduced by State Sen. George Burrows of Adams, would allow students to collect unemployment insurance. However, Burrows told the Unicameral's Labor Committee, the bill would still insure 'that there will "not be student freeloaders." Full-time students who work only during the summer would not qualify for unemployment compensation, he said. Sen. Steve Fowler of Lincoln also has introduced a bill, LB475, which would increase maximum weekly unemployment payments from S74 to SSO. Wednesday, february 26, 1975 page 6 daily nebraskan
