All dinners will be provided by alumni at no
cost to students or faculty.
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.
Kathy Damewood, a service
representative for the Nebraska
Job Service, said that as of
Monday, 90 college students

"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.
