For the students who work at the front desk of the Department of Public Safety, the job may not cater well to individual career goals or im patient tendencies, but it pays the bills and allows the employees to become familiar with the people be hind the badges and uniforms. “It’s given me more respect for police officers,” sophomore Kelly Langlois said. “They’re really not any different from anyone else.” Six months ago, Langlois was . buying a parking permit when she heard DPS needed help. After ex panding her duties from filing and phone reception to handling records, Langlois said her biggest job responsibility is dealing with confidential information. “It’s not so much that I view the info, but that I make sure it is handled properly,” the French major said. With more than a decade’s worth of French language under her belt, Langlois plans to take a shot at international business some day and will be studying abroad next year.

As one of the currently employed students with the most experience working at DPS, senior Bereket Hai ly landed a work-study position at the department about four years ago. He said his opinion of DPS offi cers has remained positive as well. “They’re just normal human be ings doing their jobs like everybody else,” he said. Looking forward to his fifth year at the University, Haily said he plans to work next year as well be cause it’s a guaranteed job. With varying weekly hours, occasional pay raises and experience working with computer data entry, Haily said the job is convenient and worthwhile but has nothing to do with his career goals. “My ultimate goal is to have my own business,” the business and economics double major said. “This is just a job for school.” Junior Gat Williams obtained a work study position at DPS her freshman year and currently juggles her 15 weekly hours at the depart GERMAN COURSES FOR SUMMER GER 104 1" Year Intensive German 07 credits, CRN 41957, 9:00-12:50 MUWHF, 106 FR GER 105 1“ Year Intensive German 08 credits, CRN 41958, 9:00-12:50 MUWF1F, 106 FR, prerequisites GER 104 GER 204 Intensive 2nd year German >1 06 credits, CRN 41959, 9:00-11:50 MUWHF, 214 FR, prerequisites GER 105 GER 205 Intensive 2nd Year German >1 06 credits, CRN 41960, 9:00-11:50 MUWHF, 214 FR, prerequisites GER 204 or equivalent GER 223 GERMANY: MULTICULTURAL SOCIETY 04 credits.

Intending to work for DPS again next year, Williams said the biggest responsibility of her job is consis tency, especially considering the position itself hasn’t changed much. As a sociology major, Williams is studying to work in law enforce ment, specifically with violent crimes, and said her office duties at DPS are “a separate thing” from where she is going after graduation. “This job hasn’t really done any thing to encourage my goals to be in law enforcement,” she said. “But it has taught me a lot about dealing with the people who come to this counter.” In dealing with people’s daily complaints and reports, Williams said patience and understanding are the best tools for handling annoyed or frantic DPS patrons. “We’re not the ones that sign the cards or make the rules, but all of the complaints come back on us be cause we’re the ones they see first,” she said.
