The police force is now welcoming new candidates who are New Jersey residents between the ages of 18 and 35. The depart­ ment is conducting an open competitive exam at 6 p.m. March 10 at South Brunswick High School, 750 Ridge Road. Monmouth Junction. South Brunswick Police Chief Raymond Hayducka announced on Jan. 14 that the po­ lice-hiring process was changed to allow for the exam.

    RESIDENTS’ VIEWS ON 25 YEARS OF REVITALIZATION IN NEW BRUNSWICK Summary report of biennial surveys 1978-2000 Conducted for: Conducted by: R Eagleton Institute of Politics Center for Public Interest Polling 00-18 RESIDENTS’ VIEWS ON 25 YEARS OF REVITALIZATION IN NEW BRUNSWICK EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 1975, New Brunswick, like many other American cities, was in distress. That year saw the formation of a unique public-private partnership which came to be called New Brunswick Tomorrow (“NBT”). From its inception, NBT saw its role as a catalyst and innovator for revitalization of the city. An important part of this role was to continually obtain the feedback of residents on the changes in New Brunswick. In 1976, the Eagleton Institute of Politics' Center for Public Interest Polling was commissioned by New Brunswick Tomorrow to conduct a needs assessment and evaluation of city services. That survey of 600 residents led to a formalized biennial evaluation effort to monitor progress in the city's revitalization program. Since 1978, Eagleton has conducted a survey of 1,000 city residents every two years. This is believed to be the longest-running public opinion study of a community. From 1978 to the present, the biennial survey has included a core set of questions. This report is a retrospective analysis of more than 20 years of opinion data on the quality of life in New Brunswick. New Brunswick as a Place to Live Since 1978, the biennial survey has asked residents "How would you rate New Brunswick as a place to live?" The number of residents who have given positive answers to this question has climbed from less than 40 percent in 1978 to more than 60 percent in 2000.

In North Brunswick, Superintendent of Schools Brian Zychowski welcomed back ap­ proximately 6,500 students. “The teachers and staff were in Tuesday and Wednesday for training, and aside from a few minor hiccups with buses breaking down and a few tears with the little guys in kindergarten, [the opening of school] was seamless,” he said.
