4 The Daily Tar Heel Thursday. January jo. 1980 msmaetBmmmmm Siudemi&fi By LORI MORRISON Staff Writer Many opportunities are available for students to make big bucks by peddling a long list of products ranging from pantyhose to car wax to their friends, family, roommates and professors. The money-making method is through distributorships companies such as Amway, Shaklee, Mary Kay and now Oasis, which offer self-pace jobs with an unlimited income. Individuals act as distributors, buying products from the company wholesale and selling them door-to-door, at parties or with their own selling techniques. Distributorships are big business. Amway make's over 200 home-care products which grossed more than $500 million in 1978. Shaklee. which specializes in food supplements but also makes cosmetics and household products, made $280 million in sales in 1977. Closer to home, Oasis, a relatively new Durham-based company, has combined the marketing plans of the top distributorships in an effort to become the Amway of the natural-foods industry. Distributorships become a full-time job for some; for others they provide a supplementary income. For many student distributors, the convenience of working from their homes or dorm rooms is an' attractive feature of the job. Tom M orris, a junior who has been an Amway representative lor the past two months, likes being a distributor. He enjoys the contact with people as well as the money he makes. Morris is trying to introduce the Amway plan to other UNC students. He says most people are attracted to the business for the money. Although many students may think they don't have time for the job, Morris said working for Amway had taught him how to better budget his time. Instead of relying on sales for profits, Amway distributors try to recruit new people into the business, earning up to a 25 percent bonus on the earnings of each new distributor they recruit. If an Amway distributor sponsors someone who becomes a direct distributor, (the first goal in the business), he receives 3 percent of that person's purchase volume for the rest of his life. Morris is working on becoming a direct distributor, a position which pays an average of $1200 a month. He plans to retire in five years. Shaklee offers a similar marketing plan with a supervisor position (the next step after becoming1 a distributor) making $3000 per month. Like Amway, a Shaklee member can sponsor someone up to a supervisor's position and he, in turn, makes a lifetime percentage of the supervisor's purchase volume. Shaklee distributors buy the products wholesale and sell them at any price they wish. At Oasis, the salesperson receives 68 percent of every dollar spent on Oasis products in the form 1 O.J kOIAU ) Discover the people devoted to natural harmony and good health. XHN. MM7 l vn- i of commissions, bonuses, overrides and a free company car, plus group life and health insurance, convention travel and entertainment benefits. Oasis distributors have the option of being a direct sales person, or a retail sales person who puts displays in stores, snackbars and cafeterias all over the country. Retail distributors make lifetime commission on displays they install. Mary Kay consultants earn between $10 and $15 an hour. Mary Kay also has the same type of commission plan as the other companies. Consultants who recruit between one and four new consultants will earn 4 percent of the new recruit's purchase volume up to eight recruits, increasing I percent per recruit. The reason more students aren't involved in distributorships may be that they don't know about them. Many of the companies rely on word-of-mouth advertising. "It is a lack of know ledge on our part as to how to get the message to students, and a lack of knowledge on the student's part as to knowing what Shaklee offers them," Shaklee representative Steve Chaney said. Shaklee has used fliers on campus in past years to attract students to the business. . Oasis representative Walker Pruitt said a meeting for interested UNC students is being planned in the form of a concert featuring local guest artists. The meeting will focus on how students can become Oasis distributors. The , admission will be a label from any Oasis product.

Long gets Rhodes honor By ANN SMALLWOOD Staff Writer Following the examples of singer Kris Kristofferson and UNC Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor, Carolina Union President Bob Long has been awarded a prestigious Rhodes Scholarship for two years of study at Oxford University in England. Long, a UNC senior majoring in history and English, was named as one of the . nation's 32 recipients of the scholarship after regional competition in Atlanta Dec. 15. State competition was held in Greensboro Dec. 12. He is UNC's 24th recipient of the award. Long said he will begin his Oxford studies of philosophy, politics and economics in early October in preparation for law school and a possible service career. "Of course I'm excited that I won. I really wanted to study in England, but I don't think I could have afforded it otherwise," Long said. Long said the atmosphere was "very competitive" at the district interviews in Atlanta, which were supervised by about seven judges among them a federal appeals court judge, a college president and a prominent Atlanta lawyer. Four scholars were selected from the Southeast District. "They asked very specific questions in my field, like which war the Treaty of Utrecht ended," Long said. "But some of them were more off-the-wall like 'Where can you see evidence of the existence of God? I came out of the interview thinking I was doomed." Long, 21, is a 1976. graduate of Reynolds High School in Winston Salem, where he was awarded the Montague Scholarship for having the highest academic average in his class. Long is a Morehead Scholar at UNC, and he has been on the Dean's List six semesters. Long has been V North Carolina Fellow and is a member of several academic honorary groups including Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Eta Sigma,' the Order of the Grail and the Order of the Old Well. He Is also a member of Chi Psi fraternity. .? ' Long was speaker pro tempore of the Campus Governing Council, the third ranking officer in Student Government, in his freshman and sonhnnnre vears. mrn Carolina IMI RITTTTfH lmportant: UNION HOUSE STAFF ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING Today -5 PM Room 204 - Union To remain on house staff 2nd semester, you must attend THE Daily Crossword by Marion Moeser 1 5 10 14 15 16 17 20 21 22 23 25 26 28 32 ACROSS La Douce City near Los Angeles Unpopular worker Make a call China province Make sharp Arm of the Atlantic The air Vessel letters Crazy Not moist Failure Night flyer Solar happening Owns 35 Choir voice 37 Kiel, e.g. 38 Soft drink 39 Carlo Menotti 40 Nasty whip 41 Influence 42 Sicilian province 43 Analyze the words 44 Africa's neighbor 45 Garland 46 Men, gen erally 48 Land's, England 49 Bridge 51 Actor Alastair and family Yesterday's Puzzle Solved: IAN C I PIE IAIL flT A IR IT i-LiA.iCR.AMS.AG.10.
