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

Job outlo<
By College Press Service
For new college graduates, now
may be the time to update their
resumes and interview clothes.
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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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
