She added that students also take jobs that often pay just more than minimum wage. The Career Center offers a compre hensive job listing online, a feature that allows the center to continually update materials. "The number one thing is to register on our Web site," Ferris said. "You can get local jobs, you can get jobs that are anywhere in the United States — em ployers are posting jobs from as far away as New York." Ferris said the job listings change every day. "We also have external links, and the Web is an excellent way to find jobs in a different area, too," she said. Ferris added that the classified sec tions are also a good way to find lo cal summer work. Students Information Specialist Tina Haynes said local jobs are a good option for students who are attending summer school or just looking to re main in town. "Between local jobs and jobs on campus there's a lot of options out there," Haynes said. "It's just a ques tion of finding the right one to meet the needs of the student." Many of the jobs on campus are for work study, a federally funded pro gram for students who have demon strated financial need. However, Fer ris said many departments are willing to hire employees who aren't on work study, especially during summer. Aside from local jobs, students can also search out work at summer camps. "There are camps for inner-city kids or kids with cancer or disabilities, and there are professional camps for mu sic and drama — all of these are good experience," Ferris said. However, students need to be care ful when applying for jobs. Ferris said if a job looks too good to be true, chances are that impression is correct Junior Matthew McConaghy spent last summer working for a house painting company.

PART 1 OF 2 Today: How to find local summer jobs Wednesday: Tips for success in summer internships "You had to do a lot more than you expected," McConaghy said. "Basical ly, it's all front loaded with expenses and back loaded with revenue, so you basically didn't get paid until the very end — all this little stuff that they don't tell you about." McConaghy said he made about $4,000 over the course of the sum mer, but he felt the amount fell short of promises. "It was a really good experience and I learned a lot — it will probably look really good on my resume — but they Tanyia Johnson Design Editor tell you that you're going to make 'x' amount of dollars and then there's no way to ever make it," McConaghy said. "They're trying to sell you on (the money) that way and sell you on it for the experience." Ferris said the Career Center usu ally tries to weed out suspicious of fers, but cautioned that the best way to ensure a company's offers are le gitimate is to ask questions. McConaghy said he had not done much research before committing. "Obviously I could have done a lit tle more," he said. "That's my best ad- " vice for anyone is to do some re search. It was a pretty good company and it has a lot of merit to it... You can make that amount if you work hard, but it's not very easy."

Magoto said a teacher holding an evening class kept the door open so her students could enter. Magoto said he saw the suspect looking at a catalog of materials. "He looked decidedly not like a student" Magoto said, adding that he provided a description to DPS. Homer said the Pacific Hall theft may have been committed by the same person as the Clancy Thurber theft. "The two descriptions match, so it is definitely someone of interest," Homer said. Horner said nobody saw the per son take anything, but he was visible in the area during both thefts. DPS Interim Director Tom Hicks said the suspect is a white adult male in his late 30s or early 40s. He is about 5 feet 10 inches tall, with a medium build, and has an "unkept" and "scruffy" appearance His hair is a sandy blonde color with a medium length. He added that on both occasions, the man was wearing a cap, blue jeans or coveralls, a gray T-shirt, red and gray plaid overshirt and canying a backpack. There is no suspect for the Lawrence Hall theft Michael Smith, director of Architec ture and Allied Arts facilities services, said the CPUs and hard drives of 12 computers were stolen from Room 283 in Lawrence Hall on April 21. He said the thief broke into the room through the doors, adding that pry marks were found on the doors. The thief also bypassed the fiber optic system on the computers by re moving the cables, but that problem has been fixed. Smith said holes have been drilled in all of the computers for the fiber-optic cables so that some one would have to break the comput er case to remove the cables. Smith also said security has been increased by giving students their own code to get into the locked room. Pre viously, each class had a general code, which made it difficult to track down someone breaking the rules, he said. Smith said this incident reinforced thoughts of the vulnerability of Lawrence Hall. He added that there are 27 doors to enter the building. He also said they deal with the on going issue of students propping doors open. In order to educate stu dents and staff about safety concerns and security, blanket e-mails have gone out to students and staff mem bers in addition to department meet ings and in-class discussions. Hicks urges anyone with informa tion about these incidents to contact DPS at 346-5444. Contact the crime/health/ safety reporter at lisacatto@dailyemerald.com.
