Trennepohl said the enroll- to keep the hours at the proper level because extra hours could cause a problem for the finan cial aid office. Joycelyn Vasquez, financial aid assistant, said students in the col lege work study program are allo cated $1,800 a year, or $900 a se mester. Students working more than 20 hours a week may inter rupt their pay schedule. “If students have $125 left in their account, we can only pay them as far as the $125 goes,” she said. “This does not mean that the student won’t be paid for the hours, but it may require their waiting until the next pay period for the extra hours.” Vasquez said the financial aid office may have to review some students’ financial aid packets, which show how much money students receive in the academic year, to see if the students’ budget can be increased. If it cannot, then the particular department they are working for Business courses ment in the College of Business varies from year to year. “What is happening around us is that a lot of schools are losing enrollment,” Trennepohl said. “Some schools are off maybe 35 percent.” This decrease is because of high school graduates’ losing in terest, he said.

All situations and criminals are dif ferent. • Remember that crime can happen to anyone. • Criminals look like anyone. There is no such thing as an aver age-looking criminal. • Make yourself a tougher target. Kretzschmar said it is impor tant to understand all these rules, but he emphasized people making themselves tougher targets. “Don’t look like a victim,” he said. “Walk with confidence — not like you’re looking for money on the ground.
