Yarborough said the trap can be a lot of helo to investieators but can only record on-campus numbers, so the phone log is necessary in most incidents to pinpoint the identity of the crank caller.

"This program has been a great success because we are concentrating on this particular area of crime," Stokes said. Sixty-five suspects were caught by 1 CREW from August through December. "The majority of those cases resulted in the arrest of the subject while the crime was still in 1 progress, on the spot," Pathel said. 1 "Law enforcement is a constantly changing dynamic force," Pathel said. "It (CREW) was a matter of reassessing needs. It has been successful." "As long as CREW is successful, we will use it, but it might evolve into something else," Stokes said.

There are plenty of jobs out there for the taking. But then again, perhaps they should make plans to move back home and leech off Mom and Dad until the job outlook improves. Are there jobs out there? It depends on whom you want to believe. The bright news: An increase in hiring is projected in 1994 for new college graduates, according to the 02 1 1 1; C r> dUUUdl CU1LIUI1 U1 IVCIIU111I1? Trends, a Michigan State University report. The bad news: The outlook is bleak, and recent graduates are going to face stiff competition for jobs, according to the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupation Outlook Quarterly. The more reassuring survey for graduates, which was researched by Michigan State, reported a 1.1 percent increase in hiring over the past year. This is the first increase projected in the past five years. In addition to an increase in jobs, starting salaries are expected to be 0.4 percent higher than the previous year, Recruiting Trends said. College dej By College Press Service Age, it seems, has its privileges, especially come graduation time. Mary Robinson, an English major at the University of NebraskaLincoln with a minor in history, was the first graduating senior to receive her diploma in the Arts and Sciences ceremony in late December. She was walked onto the graduation stage, received a standing ovation and a dozen roses and then was slowly escorted off the stage. It seems few students behind her didn't mind the wait; after all, Mary Robinson had waited 67 years to graduate, and at the age of 88, she's the oldest University of Nebraska-Lincoln student to earn a degree from the university.

AIR FORCE 3k mixed, s The highest anticipated increases are for majors in chemistry, computer science, industrial, civil and mechanical engineering, mathematics and accounting. According to the Research Trends survey, several fields are emerging with vast opportunities for employment. Among the rising occupations reported by the surveyed companies are computer-related fields, business systems analysts, environmental engineers and scientists, health care and medical specialists, and communications and multi-media specialists. The highest starting salaries for graduates with bachelor's degrees are chemical engineering majors at $40,300. The results are based on the responses of 4,600 employers in industry and government agencies. When asked what advice the employers have for recent college graduates, the most frequent response was to have realistic expectations. "Get in touch with reality; reduce your 'hat size,"' the Michigan State survey said. "New graduates cannot demonstrate that they are overqualified for a job until they try it on for size." Employers also said that if you ?ree 67 year; to do," said Robinson, who lives in a retirement complex in Lincoln. "I can't explain it. It's a dream I've had for a long time, and now it has happened." Robinson began saidying at the university in 1923, and was 25 credit hours shy of graduation when she had to take a job in 1926 and leave the university. In 1929, she married and left Lincoln, returning in 1948. She worked, volunteered at the local Veterans Administration hospital and the Nebraska State Historical Society and researched her family history back six generations to the Revolutionary War.

Most companies reported that they don't expect to hire a college graduate and have that person be with the company for a lifetime. There's so much change happening in the workplace that most rnmranips ran'r ornaran. tee lifetime employment. "The expectation for an individual to 'marry' an organization is no longer the norm," the survey said. I Employers recommend starting at an entry-level position. "Get started in an organization that offers a career ladder and produce outstanding results," the survey said. "Promotions will come later." If you have a job, that is. "Employment projections for the 1990-2005 period indicate that the average annual openings in jobs requiring a degree will number fewer than during the 1984-1990 period," economist Kristina Shelley wrote in the Occupation Outlook Quarterly. Work experience will become as important, if not more important, than education for some jobs, according to Shelley. The growing number of bachelor's degrees awarded each year forces graduates to compete for fewer jobs. 5 in making the university's division of continuing studies. Robinson had read an article in a local paper about an > elderly man who had recently graduated from college, and she was checking to see if her credits were still valid. "At first, I thought this was something out of the ordinary," Mathiasen said. "Most of the people I work with say they've been out of college for 15 to 20 years and want to go back, and I get a call from someone who says that 'I've been out of college 67 years."' The first challenge was finding her records from 1923-26, but they still existed. She applied to the university and was accepted. So, it was back to school for Mary Robinson.
