Hartung. Hartung said he has seen a general trend in the last few years of more UNL agriculture students majoring in agricultural business and support services or food processing and tech nology instead of actual production. t he study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture compared data from the departments of labor, education and agriculture with the numbers of students graduating from agriculture colleges across the nation. The study came up with too few graduates to fill these new jobs. But Hartung said the study pro jected a steady enrollment in agricul ture colleges, when actually enroll ment is decreasing. That means an even wider gap between the number of jobs and the number of people to fill them, he said. According to the study, 32 percent of the jobs will be in marketing, merchandising and sales. Another 29 percent will be for engineers, scien tists and related specialists. Only about 10 percent will be in actual production on farms and fcedlots. Bill Todd, data base manager at UNL’s Institutional Research and Planning Office, said although over all enrollment in the agriculture col lege is down, the food science depart ment has remained steady over the last five years in the total number of iii1 ... . ■■ credit hours students have enrolled in. The number of credit hours in agriculture education has increased from 583 credits to 972, but Todd noted that the number of students in ag education is relatively small to begin with. All other departments in the ag college have shown a decline. Some agriculture-related student groups are showing increased enroll ment. Teri Hoelting, the president of the food science and technology club, said the group’s membership has doubled since last year. Although most students in the club are from rural areas, Hoelting said, the group is attracting more members from urban areas. Bruce Wichman, president of the ag economics/agribusiness club, said he has also noticed an increased en rollment. Wichman said the students in the group are mostly from the farm and would like to return, but are more business conscious now. “A lot of people really want to go back to the farm, but you really have to look closely at it,” said Wichman, an ag economics major. “You have to weigh the pros and cons.” Hartung said a “general image of pessimism” surrounds the farm econ omy and is one of the reasons fewer students arc interested in ag-produc lion and arc more interested in ag related fields such as agribusiness or food technology that present better job opportunities. But Hartung said he doesn’t ex pect a shortage of qualified people to work on farms. Opportunities to buy land or to return to the family farm will always be around, he said. “I think that will pretty much take care of itself,” he said. Car Parking ,J| . Information Booth J Courtesy ot Ag Communications Parking changes noted Parking on bast Campus has been changed Wednesday to accommodate guests at the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources open house. The East Campus loop has been converted to a one-way drive with guest parking on both sides. Parking on the drive begins just south of the C.Y. Thompson Library on the south side of campus and continues to the Game and Parks Commission build ing. Guests can also park on 38th Street between the loop and Hunting ton Avenue. Guests are asked to not use the parking lots that are restricted to stu dents, faculty and staff. Once guests have parked, they should go to the nearest open house shuttle stop. The shuttle will take guests to the East Union. Shuttles will run about 15 minutes apart. Shutt^ stops are marked with signs. Burger King increases trash volume ..... .. M ...I . GARBAGE from Page 1 sad. However, the extra costs of litter pick-up and hauling garbage were worked into the contract with Burger King, he said. The city dump started charging people who use the dump last yea, Kuhn said. The charge is based on how much garbage is dumped. Last yea, the city dump charged the Nebraska Union $6,500 and the East Union $4,400. Kuhn said he expects these figures to be about the same for this yea. The Nebraska Union had an incinerator for burning garbage, but it was removed when it broke (town last yea. The union won’t be getting another incinerator be cause of concern about air pollu tion, Kuhn said. The incinerator was in the garbage room on the first floor of the union, which leads out to the gabage loading docks. The garbage room now is mostly full of UUACS. Used grease is emptied into the dumpster on the loading docks east of the Nebraska union. The dumpster is owned by Norris Ren dering, which periodically picks up the grease. The used grease is recycled and used in hog and live stock feed, said Ken Brewer, grease manager for Norris Render ing. Brewer said his companypicks up about 500,000 pounds of used grease every month from a three state area. Kuhn said the union gets about $10 a month for the used grease. Grounds personnel spent more time picking up during FartnAidHI than during a home football game, Dasenbrock said. Dasenbrock said the depart ment didn’t let the conceit get lit tered more than a football game. “We had a crew on duty cleaning from Friday night until Sunday morning,” he said.
