Police Report:

On October 18, Police and
Safety officers were called by the
Wesleyville Police Department to
assist them with a theft of
alcohol investigation. Two
Behrend students stole a case of
beer from the Wesleyville Beer
Distributor and an employee
followed them to campus.
Officers from both Police and
Safety and Wesleyville questioned
Business recruiting has
decreased at colleges this fall
(CPS) The number of
businesses recruiting at colleges
has stabilized or even decreased
this fall, say some college
placement officers, and they fear
it may become the trend.
"Students an; going to have to
look a little harder and a little
longer" for jobs, acknowledged
Sharon Pulloamon, office manager
for Career Services at East Texas
State University, where the
number of campus recruiters
dropped from 20 last fall to 11
this fall.
The student job market, in
sum, seems to be tightening.
"My presumption is the
economic climate is such that the
jobs just aren't out there,"
Fu&eraon said.
"We have heard that some
(companies) are cutting back,"
confirmed Dawn Oberman, a
statistical services specialist with
the College Placement Council
(CPC), which tracks recruiting
and hiring of college graduates
nationwide.
Oberman said smaller
companies and those that recruit
nationally are the ones that seem
to be cutting back.

the students in their apartment.
The two students who took the
beer are being charged by
Wesleyville Police. The other
students in their apartment were
referred for Alcohol Violations as
none them were 21 years of age.
Burglary
This past week several
students have reported to Police
and Safety that their apartments
have been burglarized. Food
company has reduced its student
recruiting "quite a bit" in the last
three years.
"We're trying to keep the
workfonx flat," Hayes explained.
The same number of
companies are recruiting at the
University of Vermont, but they
are interviewing fewer students,
said Jane Graiko, the school's
interviewing coordinator.
"I don't see it (the number of
companies recruiting) going up
or down," said Chuck Whitman,
director of Career Services at.
Youngstown State University in
Ohio, where recruiting has
remained stable the last two
years.
For fall and spring graduates,
all this could mean more job
seekers applying for fewer
positions. "There's going to be
much more competition" among
students for jobs, Vermont's
Graiko said.
"There are aheady job seekers
camped out on doorsteps"
of companies that are accepting
applications, agreed Fulcerson.
Law schools have been
especially hard hit by the drop in
mauls
Georgetown, American and
Harvard university law schools m
well as the University of
Thursday, October 25,1990
items seem to be the object of
most of the burglaries. These
incidents are under investigation.
Student Injured
Last Wednesday, Police and
Safety was called to the Studio
Theatre to assist a student who
had passed out and hit her head.
The school nurse was also called
to assist. The student was
transported to Hamot Hospital by
Brookside Fire Department.
California at Berkeley's law
school all have reported that
fewer law firms are moulting this
fall.
"There should be no sense of
panic, but you are probably aware
that this may not be like other
recent recruiting seasons," wrote,
June Thomson, recruiting chief
for Harvard University Law
School, in a letter to Harvard law
students.
Some firms that had scheduled
recruiting visits have canceled in
recent week&
Yet "some companies don't
want to cancel (spring recruiting
appointments) in case things get
better," CPC's Oberman
observed. "We've had two
cancellations, but you get that in
good times too," Yotmgstown's
Whitman also reported.
Chuck Witte, manager of
corporate human resources for
Marathon Oil, one of the
companies that canceled at
Youngstown, said the pull-out
was probably due to a scheduling
conflict, not because the
company is cutting back on
recruiting.
"We're doing as much
recruiting this year as we did last
year," and interview schedules ate
full, Witte said.
