The surveys also mention computers, Schinstock sdd. ' "This will not cause new courses to be formed, but it will cdl for a review of the computer courses in the agriculture college," he said. ' People who received surveys were asked to rate courses' credit hour requirements, the college's course qadity and what improvements the college needs, Schinstock sdd. . Although he did not give specifics, Schinstock sdd some parts of the college may be eliminated in order to strengthen others. The university has been emphasising the need for a variety of 'fundamental courses and the com mittee will follow suit, Schinstock Minister gives speech JUL inniDirs consocHtii The U.S. legd system should be based on punitive kw the kind that renders punishment for crime rather than on preventive codes, Louisville minister Everett Siieven sdd Tuesday at the UNL .College of Law.

During tns sssie period, 1,207 of the openings were in sales od 1,480 were' clerical. . Many sdes and cleried jobs are being filled by people who were origl ndly looking for professional or teeh said. This would give students better job opportunities after they graduate. "A broader background in fimdamen td knowledge and skills. . .will make students more flexible to move into other jobs as they become available." Schinstock sdd. - . -' The committee also is seeking analysis outside the college by consulting Jim Roberts, the dean of Kansas State University's agriculture school. Roberts, chairman of the Agriculture 200 1 committee, is sharing his viewpoints with the UNL's review committee regarding the citizens' view of the agriculture curriculum. UNL's agriculture college dso is lawmakers. There is only one, and that's God." Biblical Im is based on punish ment of crimes for which there are . victims, Sileven said. In Old Testa ment times, homeowners were required to have barriers around their rooftops. If a visitor fell off a roof, the homeowner would be punished for. breaking the law, Sileven sdd. But the ancient Hebrews had no building inspectors, and they could not be punished simply for failure to build .the barrier, he sdd. The U.S. Constitution was written . on the Judeo-Chrisiian principle that guarantees the "God-granted rights" cf life, liberty and property, Sileven said. , .

While r.rr.y rctdl job3 were created in Lincoln lest yesr by the opening of stores like ShcpKo and Tftrget, most cf those were part time. Target, for . instance employs 180 workers 35 f all-time and 145 part-time, according to the personnel department. Edisch sdd that mejor department ' stores are moving toward hiring mere workers. The Sears Roebuck and Co. store at Gateway has 99 full-time em ployees and 200 part-time employees, according to its personnel department. Part-time workers don't have to be given the benefits full-time workers do, " and merchants can schedule part-timers to come in during peak hours only, Bdueh sdd.- comparing its program with 25 other - colleges of agriculture, such as North Carolina State University, Iowa State University and Purdue University, Schinstock sdd. Five years ago, th e review committee added an English and a physics course to the list of graduation requirements for the agriculture college.

Preventative laws are written to "protect people from themselves," Sileven said.
