The Michigan Daily-Thursday, February 18, 1988- Page 5 I i . I Seniors apply for jobs, schools (Conunedfrom Page 1) niors. The psychology department offers a two-credit class that gives students instructions on the job search process, including interview- ing and resume and cover letter writ- ing. Pamela Ruderman, a LSA senior, will graduate with a B.A in commu- nications. She is hoping to attend journalism school next year. "Now that I'm a senior, and I have to decide what I'm going to do for real' - it's a bit scary," Rud- erman said. "It makes me rethink my career goals. One of the big prob- lems that people our age face is that we think whatever job or career we choose now is going to be a career choice for life." Debra Lederer graduated in De- cember and has decided to stay in Ann Arbor to start her job search. Lederer has her days filled - intern- ing at the office of human resources and development, studying for her GRE's, and volunteering at the Pound House. So far, she has had 12 interviews and plans to continue her job search. Matthew Hepp says his job search should be over within the next month. A December graduate of the engineering school, Hepp has had eight interviews and hopes to land a job with National Semi-Con- ductor. He says he has had an easier time than LSA students getting in- terviews because the engineering school has a better placement ser- vice. While some students are applying for jobs, others are applying to graduate schools. Denise Gold, a se- nior majoring in political science, has applied to seven law schools. She's heard from four schools, but is awaiting a response from her top choice, Northwestern University. Economics major Margie Han is unsure of her next career move. De- spite recent cutnacxs inmte tinancial industry, Han would like to spend a couple of years working for a bank. Just as students are looking for the right job, companies are looking for the right graduates. Robert Savard, senior administrator of Cor- porate Human Resources for Aetna Life and Casualty, visited the Uni- versity for three days looking for se- niors who have "good financial and analytical abilities and also those students who have good interper- sonal skills." Every year, Aetna interviews more than 100 students from the University for about 12 positions ranging from management to claims to underwriting. Savard said he's looking for the balanced student - one who has combined academics, extracurricular activities, and work experience into the past four years. Engineers to earmnwmst This year's engineering graduates can expect higher first-year salaries than can seniors in most other ma- jors, according to a salary survey conducted by the National Associa- tion for Career Planning, Placement, and Recruitment. Petroleum engineers are being offered the highest-paid jobs for first- year graduates, according to th~e study. Petroleum and allied products employers are expected to offer first- year job seekers an average o f $33,432. Mechanical engineers in first-year jobs are drawing salary offers averaging $29,136 and electrical en- gineers are averaging $29,100. On the other end of the pay scale, journalism and advertising majors are predicted to earn the lowest aver- age salaries for first-year worke'rs, the study showed. They are expected to be paid $18,624 and $18,576, re- spectively. The average accounting salary is expected to be $23,376 and first-year banking and finance workers should receive an average yearly salary of $22,056. -Linda Hecht Em bassy fire -Assoiated Pess Soviet firefighters chaperoned by U.S. Marines extinguished a fire at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow yesterday. No one was injured in the fire that began on an unoccupied floor in the building. A spokesperson said the blaze "might be construction related." A promised new embassy building is five years behind schedule and U.S. of- ficials suspect that construction workers have riddled the building with listening devices. Campus Gi By MELISSA RAMSDELL The map below lists the major crimes reported during the month of January in the campus and student housing areas. Monthly crime statistics compiled by the University's Department of Public Safety and Security indicate a total loss of $90,964 in personal and University property due to larceny - theft from an unlocked area- for the month of January. This figure is slightly less than last January's loss of $136,200, Director of the Department of Public Safety Leo Heatley said. HE A T L E Y said the greatest monetary loss of University property was the theft of camera and video equipment valued at $19,000 from the Kresge III medical research building. Although the theft is still under investigation, Heatley believes the suspect was someone who had internal access to the building. January crime statistics also show the number of thefts within the University's residence halls. Stockwell and West Quad reported the highest number of larcenies last month; each listed 11. rime Scene IN ADDITION, two sexual assaults were reported to campus security in January. An incident of first degree criminal sexual conduct - any unwarranted sexual activity resulting in penetration- occurred in South Quad on Jan. 23. A second sexual assault classified as fourth degree criminal sexual conduct - sexual contact with no aggravating circumstances - was reported in the Taubman Health Care Center, Heatley said. Julie Steiner, Director of the University's Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center (SAPAC), noted that according to the Federal Investigation Bureau, only 10 percent of all sexual assaults are reported to authorities. "THESE ARE only reported sexual assaults. If there were only two reported, it means that 20 went without being reported," Steiner said. -Information and statistics provided by Leo Heatley of campus security and Jerry Wright of the Ann Arbor Police Department.

Bush, Dukakis exult; dropouts expected By The Associated Press Republican George Bush and Democrat Michael Dukakis exulted in their impressive New Hampshire primary victories yesterday while the rest of the presidential field jockeyed for position in a campaign without clear, commanding front-runners. "I think you're seeing a mean George Bush," said Sen. Bob Dole, who blamed his defeat in N e w Hampshire on distortions he said were spread by the vice president's campaign. Sen. Paul Simon said he would drop out of the race next week if he doesn't win either in South Dakota or Minnesota, while former Arizona Gov. Bruce Babbit and former Dela- ware Gov. Pete du Pont have sched- uled news conferences for today where it is expected they will with- draw from the race. Tennessee Sen. Albert Gore dismissed his Democratic rivals as "peas in the same pod" who created platforms expressly for Iowa and New Hampshire which would fail in the South. There was fresh talk that the muddled races might produce no clear winner before the nominating con- ventions. New York Mayor Ed Koch said he thought the Democrats would draft a nominee, either New York Gov. Mario Cuomo or New Jersey Sen. Bill Bradley, but the Democratic national chair, Paul Kirk, disagreed.

These studies are inaccurate, Drewnowski said, because fat people often diet. He said the eating habits of obese people involve periods of binging on high-fat and high-sugar foods, followed by periods of inten- sive low-calorie dieting. "When people lose weight, they can usually lose it very easily," he said, "but they will almost always regain the weight." He plans to target obese people from outside the University because students and faculty generally have a better medical knowledge of the im- portance of diet and exercise and, therefore, have better diets. His study will not address the re- lation of obesity to genetics, al- I though he said there may be a link between metabolic rate and weight gain. .. . .. .. . .. .......... '00.NT ES?
