' m “Since the computer, many offices such as probation or county attorney may request information from the sher- iff, Frink said. In the road patrol division, Frink worked with radar and speed control in pursuing speeding vehicles and arrest- ing the violator. “Road patrol is probably the most valuable area to the intern because it covers everything in the department, Jensen said. Other areas covered were some principles of investigation, working with past case histories, assisting with court questions. Frink even got involved with an autopsy which involved taking some pictures which were pretty gruesome at certain points, he said. “From work done with firearms in investigations, one can determine from blood splattering what direction the bul- let came from and what type of gun was used,” Frink said. All of these are helpful in investigations. Civil processing in- volved warrants for escaped prisoners or arresting a person on existing charges. ' The area that gave me the most ex- perience was corrections, Frink said. Corrections in Buffalo County deal with men, women and juveniles. The law en- forcement intern said, “Much of my work was done in corrections with stan- dard operating procedures. Corrections work also gave Frink experience in medical procedures and food service. In the kitchen Frink worked with Mary Reynolds, kitchen supervisor, in distributing each meal to inmates. Each inmate gets a specific amount. “I start by making out a menu every five weeks and coordinating it with a code which works with finding the aver- age weight, height and age of an inmate. Then this information is sent to the Buf- falo County Extension Office where it is read into a computer in Lincoln. A printout is sent back telling the amounts of protein, calcium, iron, vitamin A and C needed, Reynolds said. This process usually takes from three to five days to complete. “From these I am told if I am short in a nutrition area — usually vitamin A which includes vegetables and riboflavin, Reynolds said. Food is then purchased from local wholesalers. Dineen quizzes Frink on how to dispatch calls to units of the sheriffs office regarding activity moving through the county. Frink said, It is a good and effec- tive experience to expose you to many of the specialties of the department, in- cluding fingerprinting, weapon analysis and crime re-creation. Dineen said, “The experience gives the full scope of law enforcement — from a motel manager to a restaurant manager — plus the work of a sheriff. Buffalo County has had 12 interns through the program and currently two on staff. “Each year since 1979 we have tak- en one intern in the sheriffs office and one in the corrections department, Di- neen said. “Brown is very instrumental in choosing which interns will partici- pate. Frink said, “Law enforcement isn’t for you if you have an identity crisis, but it can really build your character. Dineen, Frink and Brown agreed that the officers are one large group down there — they work together and play together. If a problem comes up all are ready to help a fellow officer. I would like to get a job in the FBI, U.S. Marshals or CIA and possibly make a different impact on society, Frink said. He is currently working part time as a Campus Security officer at KSC. Dineen instructs Frink on Standard Operating Proce- dures in corrections.

F ASHION THIS PAGE top: Derek McKenzie, Papillion center left: Delwin Wohlgemuth, Holdrege right: Bryceson Watson, Lincoln FAR PAGE left: Kenny Copas, Cozad right: Johnette Toye, Omaha In the name of StuCe by Kim Whittemore Style has always been a confusing subject — especially for those who try to adhere to it. Trying to stay within the lines of what’s “in” and still carry off a unique style is a difficult chore. But the students at Kearney State College have handled this task with ease. By adopting their own style, Lo- pers have not only raised eyebrows but also questions. For example: Why do we pay modern prices for stone-washed jeans that look centuries old? If Swatches are watches, then why can’t we read the time on them? ... And if people can’t read just one (Swatch), do they think wearing two or more will help? Why do women spend hours fixing their hair just to make it look messed up? When we were young we were told to pull our socks up. Now that we’re “mature” is it “cool” to wear them down? Boxer shorts are being worn by all yet do women really need a fly? Why do people with perfect vision need colored contact lenses? If skin-tight stirrup pants are meant to be revealing, then why do women wear knee-length sweaters over them? What is the purpose of washing hair when minutes later we coat it with hair- spray, gel, sculpting lotion, freeze and mousse? Guess Jeans are very popular but what exactly are we supposed to guess? The answers to these questions come in one simple reply: It’s all in the name of STYLE.
