Thursday, September 26, 1985 Daily Nebraskan Page 3 at UML ffoF career seminar By Janis Lovitt Staff Reporter An all-university career planning and placement seminar is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today in the Nebraska Union Ballroom. Gerry Phaneuf, director of the UNI Career Planning and Placement Cen ter, said the seminar is the first of its kind at UNL. He said he expects about 1,200 to 1,500 students to attend the program. The seminar, which is open to all college students statewide, will pro vide information from about 65 com panies, he said. More than 130 com pany representatives will be available to hand out literature and talk to students. Busiensses will include retail, insu rance, banking, social services, data processing, consumer products, food service, military, electronics and hos pitals, Phaneuf said. "We hope students will see how their degree will fit into these compan ies," he said. Phaneuf said he hopes the career fair will help those students who will enter the job market soon. "Students will be' in the position to get to know possible employers," Pha neuf said. Students will be able to ask compan ies what skills will be in demand for the future job market, he said. The College Placement Association of Nebraska is working with the place ment office to present the career fair. Because of this, Phaneuf said, college students from across the state will attend the seminar. Phaneuf stressed the fact that all UNL students are invited. "Many students think this program is just for seniors," he said. "We want people to know that this is for all students." In addition to the informal presenta tions during the day, Phaneuf said, a workshop on resume writing and job search is scheduled from 9 to 10 a.m. before the seminar. H usker gifts give to state By Karen Shoemaker Staff Reporter The response to the Husker Holiday Gifts project has been terrific, said State Sen. Elroy Hefner of Coleridge Wednesday. The project was launched earlier this month to promote Nebraska agri cultural products as holiday gifts. "What I'm trying, to do is plant a seed," Hefner said. Hefner wants to get businesses to help the Nebraska farm economy by giving Nebraska products. Many busi nesses give gifts to customers and employees during the holidays. Too often those gifts are products from out of state, Hefner said. Instead of giving oranges and grape fruit from Florida, cheeses from Wis consin or apples from Washington, he said, gifts of Nebraska agricultural products would keep money in the state, improve prices and cut livestock and poultry losses,-he said. Hefner said Husker gifts range from cheese boxes offered by the UNL Dairy Store to steaks from Omaha Steaks International. Nebraska Baskets in McCook is offering handcrafted baskets with assorted products, including cook books by Nebraska authors. Pork, lamb, poultry, popcorn, apples, honey and candies are a few of the products to choose from, Hefner said. The gifts will range from $4.95 on up, he said. Husker Holiday Gift Certificates are available through local merchants across the state, Hefner said. Gift boxes will be available in super markets around Thanksgiving, Hefner said. "If all goes well with the project this year, and the economy is stil) depressed next year, then the project will be pro moted again," Hefner said.

"We usually meet our goal unless there is extreme cold, high winds or val are the University Health Center, power plants and food service facilities. Students parking in uncleared areas is the grounds crew's biggest problem, he said. Emergency parking plans will be published in November to inform students where to park.
