UNL students
may go on-line
for job search
By Laura King
Staff Reporter
In the future, UNL seniors may
find themselves interviewing with
potential employers through a com
puter screen.
The students may even log on with
a company computer to look at want
ads. These innovations and others are
affecting the way students look for
jobs after graduation.
Career Services is discussing with
companies new ways to expand how
companies look at graduates' resumes,
said Chris Timm, assistant director
of the Career Services Center at the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Pro
grams could be available for students
to send r6sum£s on the Internet as
early as the fall of 1995, Timm said.
Students already can register their
r6sum&s with independent lisumd
database services, she said. R6sum£s
sent using these services go to many
different companies at a cost between
$30 and $50 for a three-month pe
riod, Timm said.
The process will save students time
and labor, Timm said, but it has draw
backs.
When students register with these
services, they need to examine
whether it will be the right one for
them,” she said. “By finding out whom
the rdsumds are sent to and how com
panies obtain the r&suntes, a student
can decide if it will be an efficient way
for them to find a job.”
Another way to get itsumd expo
sure is to register with Career Ser
vices. Timm said the service was
cheaper — $20 a year — and might
produce better results.
Students can register their r6sum&
on a computer disk and submit it to
the center for scanning. In scanning,
Timm said, the center reviews tesuntes
and prepares lh?m to be sentHo, em
ployers who can contact them later.
“Gopher sites” arc another outlet
for job searches that will be available
to students soon, Timm said. Stu
dents could log on directly with a
company computer and look at job
vacancies.
I nrougn inese avenues, siuaenis
can have more control over who is
seeing their r&sum&s and when they
are sent out,” Timm said.
Timm said other forthcoming pro
grams included one that would list
job vacancies on the Internet and a
phone system that could provide the
status of your r6sum6.
However, Timm said, these pro
grams can take personal contact away
from a job search.
“Personal contact is the best way.
because you have all the control over
the process,” Timm said.

Women’s Club cooks up fund-raiser
By John Fulwldtor
Staff Reporter
The Nebraska Faculty Women’s
Club is selling cookbooks for
“World Peace.”
The painting, that is.
The Elizabeth Dolan mural,
which has hung in the Nebraska
Union women’s lounge for more
than 50 years, badly needed resto
ration because it had never been
cleaned, said Daryl Swanson, di
rector of Nebraska Unions.
“It just had the usual dust and
grime which accumulated over 50
years,” he said, and some minor
damage repair was needed.
The $5,300 restoration, which
was completed in May, is being
financed by the women’s club
through sales of a cookbook titled
“Refreshments With Permission.”
The club chose the project to
mark its 100th anniversary this
year, Swanson said.
OliveCopple, theclub’s spokes
woman, said the cookbook's title
humorously recalled the early days
of the club when members decided
that refreshments would not be
served.
“Mrs. Webster (a former mem
ber) served refreshments, and kept
apologizing, saying, ‘I hope I have
your permission to serve refresh
ments,’” Copple said. “And from
there on out refreshments were
served at all other meetings.”
Noreen Goebel, president of the
club, said the book included culi
nary masterpieces submitted by
famous Nebraskans.
Gov. Ben Nelson’s secret for
mula for “Ambrosia Fruit and Nut
Mold” is included. “Bohemian
Teriyaki Beef’ is offered by U S.
Sen. Jim Exon’s wife. Also, Sandra
Spanier, a University of Nebraska
Lincoln Englsih professor and
Chancellor Graham Spanier’s wife,
contributed her recipe for “Disap
pearing Marshmallow Blond
Brownies.”
But Copple said the book of
fered more than just recipes.
“The cookbook has a lot of uni
versity history in it,” Copple said.
The cookbook includes a photo
graph of the first woman hired at
the university, Ellen Smith, who
also is the charter member of the
Faculty Women’s Club. Smith
taught Latin and Greek.
The caption under an 1895 photo
of the university ’ s first footbal I team
states, “A decision was made at the
first official meeting of the Faculty
Women’s Club to invite the foot
ball team to dinner.”
“They continued that for about
10 years and then decided they
couldn't handle it anymore,”
Goebel said.
Also, a photo showing a large
group of women picking dandeli
ons on the lawn in front of Love
Library says, “Before herbivores,
students helped the university with
lawn care.”
Goebel said the club didn’t have
a large project every year like the
restoration and cookbook sale. It
does staff Association of Students ~
of the University of Nebraska vot
ing booths during the Homecom- :
ing court and student government
elections.
Copplc said the cookbooks had
been popular.
Goebel said about one-third of
the 1.500 copies of the printed
cookbook have been sold, and a
reprint is possible depending on
demand. The books sell for $10
each and arc available at Univer
sity Bookstore. Nebraska Bookstore
and the University Place Art Cen
ter.
