Jacque Educh, cpcratier.3 manager
for the service, ssid the unemplopient
rate for Lincoln dropped feom 4.0 in

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

17,124 job applicents but listed 8,851
While 2,313 of those applicants were

managerial jobs, only 214 cf the job
openings fit in these categories.
During tns sssie period, 1,207 of the
openings were in sales od 1,480 were'

Many sdes and cleried jobs are
being filled by people who were origl

-' 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.

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. , .

labor force has taken part-time jobs

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

to the personnel department.
Edisch sdd that mejor department
' stores are moving toward hiring mere

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
