Spring graduates
to find fewer jobs
Watch group. . .

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.

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.
