He dd the center, which Hers it services free, dso helps those who are injure about their career with advising and couaf-elbg. "We fecis on the individual's values and what they wait to do in their lives and what they want to accomplish," Phaneuf said. "They are already ..a career. We just have to prU their sMlls out" ,t Thjeuf said the placement center advertises 1 20,000 jobs ech year in addition to "on-campiis recruiting." On-campus recruiting attracts employers from across the country vho conduct 00 to 1,000 interviews a week, he said. Students and alumni from UNL and UNO can use the center. Those registered through the center are eligi ble to use the center's career library, which provides IrJfenr.&tion cn private corporations, government -agencies, and ed-eaiicn institu ticm. Audio visual iriamation on corporations and the interview process also is avaiiable. The center also cf&rs resume and job hunting seminars, interviewing skills woricshops and oherjab-huntinj strategies. To renter with the placement center, stu dents are required to, fill out a registration packet that' includes 'a' personal data, sheet, a computer referral foaa and an stcadensic record fara. Completion of the packet is required before interviewing or compiling credentials, Phaneuf said. He ss,id a "bidding system" was established last year to eliminate long lines and the "fkst-come-Lrst served" concept. Phaneuf said each week job candidates regis tered with the placement center and are given 500 "points." These points are used to bid for a rpct on a prospective employer's interview list. A candidate can only use 500 points a week and cannot "cany ever" any unused points to the -nit week. The r.ore pcints bid, the better the , candidate's chances for an interview. Those who make the interview list are then asked to come back and sign up for ait interview time, he said. Contused ca F&2 8 No spring break for news While students took off for a week of sunning and surfing or blundered through a late-March blizzard at home, some important news events took place in the state, nation and the world. In Nebraska: The Legislature's Appropriations Commit tee on Wednesday unanimously approved a pro posed $2.6 million general state fund increase for NU for fiscal year 1S33-S3 a 1.6 percent increase over this year's. The NU Board of Eegcnts had asked for nearly a 13-percent increase. The proposal -also includes a 3-percent salary, increase for NU employees. (Editoii&l ca P&3 4.) The committee also voted to restore $341,851 to the university's budget for the operation of the State Museum in Mertiil Hall, almost ail of what had been previously cut during preliminary hearings. O LB1S3, which would require manda tory seat belt use in Nebraska, was given first-, round approval in the Legislature on Thursday on a 25-14 vote, despite an effort by Sen. lex Habeman of Imperii! to kill the motion. The Nebraska Supreme Court cn Thursday upheld the 12- to 14-month prison sentence imposed on former Commonwealth Savings Co. President S. E. Copple, 87, in response to an appeal by Copple's lawyers in Lincoln that the sentence was "excessive." Also on Thursday, S. E. Copple's son, Mar vin, was found guilty in Platte County District Court in Columbus on two counts of theft for receiving two payments totaling $500,000 from Commonwealth in a real estate venture-; Two men and a woman died Saturday of gunshot wounds in what police have said proba bly was a double murder-suicide at an apartment in northwest Lincoln.
