Wednesday, November 11, 1981The Daily Tar Heel3 UN C Pky ic al Plant maintains campus By ROBERT MONTGOMERY DTH Staff Writer Although most students have seen Phy sical Plant workers driving blue and white trucks around campus, most do not know what functions the plant performs for the University. A guide to the UNC Physical Plant says, "We do not strive for recognition, yet, our presence is evident everywhere on the campus." C.E. Swecker, director of the Physical Plant, said the goal was to provide stu dents, faculty and staff with an environ ment which is safe and comfortable. Headquartered off of Airport Road, the Physical Plant operates under the Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance. There are six divisions charged with the responsibility of keeping the campus en vironment in order, Swecker said. The fiscal administration division is the support system of the Physical Plant. In addition to basic financial matters such as accounting and budgeting, this division handles the campus mail service, Swecker said. Estimating and engineering involves the planning, cost estimating and the engineer ing of work around the campus. The con struction and maintenance division works First Minority Career Fair to be held Representatives from 34 businesses will at tend the first Minority Career Fair, sche duled for Thursday and Friday in Great Hall of the Carolina Union. Tom Luten, originator and coordinator for the fair, said: "The purpose is just to expose students to career-related informa tion, to expose companies to potential can didates for jobs. "The students and representatives can share information, find related interests, and have someone to call. This is the key for career-development information." Luten, who is associate director of Uni versity Placement Services, said the fair is for any student with any major and geared toward Seniors and undergraduates. Chapel Hill cuts The Town of Chapel Hill has narrowed the field of candidates for the town mana ger's job to three, and the finalists will be interviewed within the next two weeks.

They handle emergency work as well as building maintenance and renovations. About 100 craftsmen work in the division that answers about 200 service calls per week and usually has more than 200 pro jects planned. The division does not work on the very big projects, Swecker said. Other depart ments handle contracting. The new 24-hour banking facility between the student store and Carolina Union is one example of the Physical Plant's construction, he said. The heating, ventilation and air condi tioning division has been one of the busiest divisions, Swecker said. They are often the ones who tear up the bricks (something the Physical Plant put there in the first place). Last year chiller buildings were constructed and chilled water lines were in stalled on campus to better control and maintain air conditioning. Conservation has also been a major goal of the Physical Plant. A new monitoring system should aid in diagnosing any problems with heating and air conditioning on campus, Swecker said. The two divisions of the Physical Plant most visible on campus are the grounds division and the housekeeping division. The grounds division is responsible for a Two representatives will be here from each organization, one of whom will be a minority professional. Among the com panies represented are IBM Corporation, Quaker Oats Company and Xerox Cor poration. "The .fair is open to all students, but minorities are specifically targeted because they traditionally have not been exposed to as much career-related information as others," Luten said. Luten said 80 percent of career-related information was un publicized, which involves the unwritten job market. Friends, relatives and people you meet in class are all contacts, Luten said. town manager Other community leaders will have short meetings with one or more of the candidates.

"We're often accused of bricking up the campus, but it's one of the things that makes the campus beautiful," Swecker said. One of their big tasks in the fall is raking leaves, while in the spring, growing grass and keeping students on the sidewalks is a major concern. "This is an opportunity to meet 70 more people," he said. "This is an opportunity to orjen a whole lot of doors," Luten said. "I hope it's an ongoing thing."

Everett Jordan Lake is holding at 195 feet while construction is being completed on the conservation pool area, said Jim Boyle, public affairs officer for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Wilmington district office. The B. Everett Jordan Dam floodgates were closed Sept. 1 to allow the gradual increase of water level to'216 feet above sea level, with an average depth of 14 feet. Boyle said that the level will not be reached until after December. Controversy followed each step of the creation of Jordan Lake, including ques tions about the dam's ability to withstand the added water pressure and about the lake's eventual water quality. Tests were conducted to insure the dam's pressure endurance level, but Rovle said that the state i wfW until Symposium By SHERRI BOLES DTH Staff Writer The Carolina Symposium, a biennial event, has been scheduled for March 17 to April 4, 1982,; and several speakers have been lined up.- UNC alumnus Tom Wolfe, journalist, social critic and author; Pat Robertson, religious broadcaster and host of, "The 700 Club"; Alejandro-Portes, professor at Johns Hopkins and scholar on Latin " America; and Samuel Hill, chairman of the University of Florida Religion De partment are scheduled to speak on "Fragmentation in Society." The two weeks of activities will cover four basic areas: Religion and the Rise of Fundamentalism, Government and Special Interest Groups and Ethnicity and Education, said Melinda Murray, a mem ber of the Symposium's Liaison Com mittee. The activities will involve lectures, dinner discussions, panel discussions and bag lunches. D JM W(S.- 'rS 4 J r J ri(l j g v. r-Y y x i 1 RECRUITERS WILL BE ON CAMPUS NOVEMBER 17, 18, 19.

"I expect it will be six months to a year before they (the State of North Carolina) rate for quality control," Boyle said. He added that though the major justi fication for the lake's creation was flood control another major reason was the one hundred million gallons of drinking water that the lake will supply daily if water quality is high enough. "When you have a project like this," Boyle said, "a lot of organic material is covered with water, and there is some decay. ' "Eventually the decay is flushed out, so the evaluation must wait until this pro cess is completed." JEANNIE REYNOLDS scheduled "One thing we want to do this year that is really different is try to get more people involved," said Elizabeth Daniels, chairman of the Liaison and Correspon dence committees. "We're setting up re lations with campus groups and also with special interest groups in the Carrboro Chapel Hill area. We want to make it not just a university event, but a civic event as well." The speakers in each area will confront the question, "Is our society's present de gree of fragmentation healthy, in that it provides a forum for the expression of conflicting ideas, or is it counter-productive, in that it creates social tensions?" "The symposium is not taking a speci fic stand one way or the other," Murray said. "We're just investigating to see what different groups think," The Carolina Symposium operates on a $25,000 budget. The Campus Governing Council funds $18,000, and the rest is ob tained through private grants, Murray said. ''!: t-.t't . A reflection of yoir educationai achievemerrts. . w 1
