Are you in one of the apartment complexes where dumpster fires are common occurrences?

Is that an SIU weenie roast ? :D

ya im in lewis park. going for forestry

I work in the powerplant at SIU and every evening on the weekends that I work and often late at night on Thursday and Friday nights I here the Carbondale Fire Department tone out to 'Dumpster fire, Lewis park apartments.. time out XXXX......"

When I was on midnight shifts a few years ago I could set the clocks by the fire department toning out to a dumpster fire at (2 a.m.) Lewis Park, Pinch Penny Pub/Club Sin (used to be Carboz), another behind STIX. (2:30 a.m.) broken windows (at least 1 from this area) in the Towers (Neely, Schneider, Mae Smith) and Triads (Boomer, Allen or Wright) (2:30-3 am) The broken window reports would come in from Thompson Point and if any from Greek Row.
Not to mention someone would pull a fire alarm pull station at one of the towers at about 2:15 a.m.

Literally it was like clockwork every weekend. Not so bad the last year or so.

Forestry is a pretty good program, I had a buddy of mine went through it years ago then later a masters in Animal Science Food and Nutrition and now works for Michigan State University Ag Extension office in Jackson, MI.

What's your minor? Where do you work?

i dont have a job yet but going to start looking for a part time one. still undecided on the minor. thinking something like wildlife management.

Are you going to look for a student job or outside of the University?

Does SIU have a wildlife management program? Are you wanting to do wildlife management or be a CPO? What year in school are you?

i would like to work outside of the school if possible. im not sure on the wildlife management just want something along the lines of it. i was really looking into the cpo but i am kepping my options open.

If you want to be a CPO double major in Administration of Justice (might be biased since that is what my BA degree is in). I am not sure if they have a minor in AJ or not but Mike Harbin would be the one to talk to at 453-6434, he is the advisor for the dept. and if in the program he arranges internships with several agencies including the IDNR. The one I was going to have fell through last minute, they weren't taking any interns that summer and didn't let it out till the last day before summer classes started.
I knew several guys wanting to go the CPO route when I was in the program and alot of them were either double majors in some sort of envirnomental science or were minors in an environmental science. One guy I went to school with is a CPO now, several are state police officers and one chick I knew is a Sec. of State police investigator.

If I can be of any help I work here on campus and can get about any phone number you need, just let me know.
