CAMPUS BRIEFS
Early fall is prime time to find on-campus jobs
The chance to find an on-campus job is at its peak. From the beginning of August to the beginning of September, on-campus wants ads fill the student employment job board at 110 Burge Union.
Most on-campus jobs are either a semester or a year long, said Becky Adrian, work study coordinator for University Career and Employment Services. Jobs attract students for several reasons including convenience, location, flexibility and hours.
The majority of on-campus jobs are clerical and approximately 15 hours a week. Adrian said the average pay was between $5.50 and $7 an hour.

Colorado grand jury still out on Ramsey murder
Boulder, Colo.—Nearly a year after a grand jury began looking into the murder of JonBenet Ramsey, there's no indication it's any closer to resolution, frustrating both residents and city leaders.
"They're at the point where they either have to say they have something or they don't," said Brian Greenman, a shopkeeper who lives near the Boulder County Justice Center.
The 12-member jury, which began its work on Sept. 15, 1998, has heard testimony from police officers, friends and relatives of the Ramsey
family and technicians who examined thousands of pieces of forensic evidence.
But the panel, whose term expires next month, has not met since May 25.
In finishing its term, the grand jury may issue indictments, draft a report or simply
Jon Benet Ramsey:
Still no end in sight to murder investigation
adjourn without so much as a recommendation. It will then be up to the district attorney to decide whether to pursue any jury recommendation or empanel another group to start anew.
JonBenet, 6, was found beaten and strangled in the basement of the family's home on Dec. 26, 1996.
NASSAU, Bahamas—Storm-wear residents in the Bahamas braced for a brush with Hurricane Floyd as it swelted and powered up to a major storm packing 120 mph winds yesterday.
Forecasters said the hurricane would approach the central Bahamas, the same area blasted by Hurricane Dennis in August.
Meteorologists said the storm was unlikely to hit land before tomorrow and posed no immediate threat to the mainland United States. Still, they recommended people along the southeast coast to monitor the storm's course.
Officials posted a hurricane watch for the central Bahamas and tropical storm warnings for the southeastern Bahamas and Britain's Turks and Caicos islands.
The storm swelled in size overnight. Hurricane-force winds had broadened to 115 miles from Floyd's center by midmorning yesterday.
WORLD
Tropical storm force winds extended another 85 miles.
Central Bahamas plan for Hurricane Floyd
At 2 p.m. EDT, Floyd was about 265 miles east-northeast of Grand Turk island — just east of the Bahamas chain — and headed west at near 12 mph.
Negotiators seek to end North Korean missile tests
BERLIN—U.S. and North Korean negotiators extended talks on the communist nation's missile program Saturday, scheduling an unplanned sixth day of discussions.
"I'm satisfied, we have made some progress," North Korea's Vice Foreign Minister, Kim Gye Gwan, said after the latest session at the U.S. Embassy in Berlin. He gave no details.
Both sides agreed to continue the talks yesterday, he said. There was no comment from U.S. delegates.
The Clinton administration hopes to persuade North Korea to freeze its missile programs, seen as a threat to East Asia's military balance, by offering food aid and an easing of economic sanctions.
Amid fears the North plans a new missile test, President Clinton met with the leaders of Japan and South Korea yesterday in Auckland, New Zealand, where they were gathered for an Asian-Pacific summit.
Western military analysts believe North Korea plans to test an advanced model of a long-range missile it fired over Japan a year ago. The new missile is believed to be able to reach Alaska or Hawaii.
The United States, Japan and South Korea have warned that another launch could bring economic penalties against North Korea.
