is trying to avoid any further
problems.
“I make sure they know right
away what they can and cannot
do,” she said. “This provides a
preventive measure against any
problems that could come up as a
result of students working too
many hours.”
She said that students turn in
their time sheets to their supervi
sor, who signs the document. If
there is a discrepancy with the
number of hours, the sheet goes
back to the student.
“If a student is only one hour
over, we usually go ahead and ap
prove the hours,” Johnson said.
“We consider limiting the hours
an asset to the students as well,
giving them time to study.”

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

“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

Kretzschmar offers four rules
to help people avoid threatening
situations:
• There are no absolutes. 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. Being alert, body
language and eye contact are im
portant.”
Castoria said the program will
help women employ common
sense tactics into their daily rou
tines to increase their personal
safety.
“Learning as much as you can
will not guarantee that you won’t
be victimized,” she said. “It will
