Page 8 Spring graduates to find fewer jobs Watch group. . . Daily Nebraskan UNL deans appear to agree with the findings of a Michigan State University survey that next spring s graduates will find about 16.8 percent fewer jobs than last year because of the poor economy. Marialice Renard, placement coordinator for the UNL College of Agriculture, said there will be 15 percent to 18 percent fewer jobs for graduating students, and some students will have to take jobs that ordinarily wouldn't be their first choice. "Unless the economy turns around, the situation will be tough, but they will be able to find a job if they're willing to look," Renard said. Jack Shingleton, Michigan State survey coordinator, and Patrick Sheetz have been conducting the university Thursday, December 2, 1982 survey for tha past 12 years. The Michigan State survey also found the north-central region, of. the United States will be one of the areas where it's hardest to find a job, Shingleton said. The main movement of industry is to the south Shingleton said, because of the climate and because unions are not as strong there as they are in the north central area. , The survey also found that .although salaries will increase by 2.8 percent, the real value of salaries will be lower than last year because of inflation, Shingleton said. Continued on Page 9 Continued from Page 3 Lair developed the idea several weeks ago and obtained the support and organi zational structure of ASUN's Campus Life Committee soon after. Since then he has been involved with the actual task" of putting a framework together. "Right now, the prime objective is to get the rough draft of the constitution written," he said. He added that David Decoster, UNL dean of students, has mentioned the possibility of getting funding for the group. Lair said the largest expense would be the two-way radios, which cost about $150 each. DeCoster said fund-raising parties and raffles are other possibilities for raising the money needed. In addition to patrolling, Lair said the group will invite speakers from the UNL police, .the UNL Women's Resource Cen ter and other groups. It also will sponsor safety seminars and cardio-pulmonary resuscitation and first aid training sessions. "The whole idea is to make this an organization where people want to get involved," Lair said. "Patrolling the campus will be thev tangible result, but for the members, they'd be learning how to handle responsibility." He said one of the main problems has been attracting enough volunteers. With volunteers working two hour shifts once a week, about 100 people will be needed, he said. Melba Petrie, Residence Hall Associa tion president, and Jerry Hopper of the Criminal Justice League both have been interested in the program, he said. "Everyone that I've talked to has thought that it's real, it's workable, it's something that could be done," Lair said. People interested in working with the volunteer group should contact ASUN.
