Planning and Placement
Center at NCSU.
Her major responsibil

"about qualified students to
, employers who request it.
HELPS EMPLOYMENT
She says that in her
, position she helps "give
seniors and graduate
students their first contact
with employers for full-time
professional positions."
The main function of the
Career Planning and
Placement, Center is to
"make it possible
for the students to have
interviews with these
employers on campus,"
though sometimes the office
vews off-campus.
She also conducts
career workshops. These fall'
primarily into two types.
The first is "career
planning workshops",
designed for freshmen but
sometimes offered to
sophomore and junior
groups. The workshops
help students make
decisions about the type
of curricula they might
want to pursue, pointing
out that career
opportunities would be
open to them- '

relationship between the
career alternatives and the
special skills an interests of
the ' individual," says

to get and deal with an

obtain an interview or the
job itself.

acitivites of the center
to campus news media. '

ordinates audio-visual pro
ductions for the center. The

these productions are kept.
Audio tapes tell the
undergraduate academic
requirements of each
department on campus. '
Video productions pro
vide information about
career opportunties for
various academic majors
and ' show application
procedures for professional
schools. Among other
duties, Strayhorn schedules
audio and video tapings
and sometimes appears in
the productions herself
askine questions.
A member of the N.C.
Placement 1 Association,
she is co-chairman of the
association's Professional
Development Commitee
and has created two book
lets for the organization

HEALTH NOTES
BY DR. ULYSSES W.
WATKINS.JR
THE COMMON COLD
Since this article comes at a time when the weather is
very cold and damp, causing many forms of health hazards,
I feel that this is a very timely topic to discuss,
The common cold is of course a condition that cannot
be permanendy cured because it recurs over and over again
in most people. The main reason for this is the fact that
there are over 100 viruses that cause this condition, so if
one episode caused by one type virus is treated and resolved
there may be another episode recurring with another virus
as the cause.
When bacteria enter the picture the cold then pro
gresses to more severe complications such as sinusitis,
ear infections (prevalent in children) or worse.
FEVER COMMON PLACE
Symptoms of the common cold are usually scratchy
throat, sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, and varying degrees
of drowsiness.. Fever (100 to 102F) is common with infants
and small children but not larger adults,
Moderate headache is the rule but severe headaches
are indicative usually of a more serious process.. Chest
"tightness" is also noticed but a hacking painful cough with
shortness of breath usually indicate a more serious process
such as pneumonia, bronchitis, etc.
TREATMENT
Treatment usually includes bed rest, light diet, high fluid
intake ,and in most cases aspirin or acetominophen
(Tylenol, Datrin, etc.). The early use of patent cold
remedies has not been very successful in warding off colds,
but such agents do give temporary relief. However, hot
lemon tea has some merit..
