As student loans and financial aid
become, increasingly difficult to obtain,
more and more UNC students are finding
it necessary to acquire jobs to meet rising
tuition costs. Although finding a part-time
job may be difficult, local merchants and .
employment services agree that there are
jobs available for dependable students.
Earl Lloyd of The Hub menswear shop
on Franklin Street said, "We try to get all
of our part-time employees to be students
because they help bring in the student traf-
fic." ' r , . . ; ,: '
The Intimate Bookshop on' Franklin
Street also finds students to be well-suited
for the job. Michael Hodges, an employee
of the bookshop and a UNC graduate stu
dent in English, said that the major re-
job in the area can be difficult. As a result,
many students turn to employment ser
vices for help.

Local employers are receptive to hiring
UNC students for part-time jobs. However,
for students unable to find employment,

Debbie Gilbert of Kelly Girl said, "We
do a lot of work in Chapel Hill." One
reason for Kelly's popularity among
students is the fact that it is a national
company. As a result it can transfer a stu
dent's employment records to their
hometown and help them find jobs during
the summer.
Kelly Girl, like most employment ser
vices, deals with more students in the sum
mer than during the school year. During
the summer 50 percent to 70 percent of
the people who come to Kelly in search of
jobs are students, Gilbert said.
The main problem students have during
the school year is that their classes and ex
ams cause work scheduling problems. Kel
ly Girl will try to find work for students
during the school year, Gilbert said, "pro
vided they have a significant block of time
to work."

Amy O'Donnell, a junior transfer from
Sandhills Community College, had just set
foot in Chapel Hill when her orientation
counselor told her about a job service that
could possibly appease any money
troubles she might have.
The counselor sent her to the newly
formed Student Part-Time Employment
Service, formed by Student Government
last semester.
She went to the SPIES office in Suite D
of the Carolina Union and explained her
situation to Paul Parker, director of the
service. Three minutes later she had a job
possibility. Less than an hour later she had
a job offer. And now she has an on
campus job, working at the Institute for
Research in Social Science in Manning
Hall. Its a job O'Donnell is grateful for.
"I think it's great. It's such a service to -students,
especially for junior transfers
who don't have any references in the area.
"I'll get to meet a lot of people. And
that's important to me right now." ;
O'Donnell was among the first students
to get jobs through the SPTES, a product

the service is off and running this
semester, with a 200-job commitment
from ARA Services, the campus food ser
vice operators, and ' more than 50 jobs
from Carolina Annual Giving.
The purpose of the employment service
is to provide jobs for UNC students who
are not eligible for financial aid but in need
of extra income, Parker said.
"In the past, students found out about
job openings by word-of-mouth and from
a bulletin board in the financial aid
office," he said. While upperclassmen
aware of the system could get jobs,
"freshmen were the ones to really lose out.
"And there were some jobs, like the
lifeguard jobs at the pool, that didn't get
filled because not many people knew they
existed.' iu ju-4K.Jt w-s
i The service provides a centralized office
listing on- -and -offompus - jobs Tanging
from 'dishwashing to assisting a
psychiatrist. Currently there are listings for
about 300 jobs, some requiring more than
one worker, from the pool of 900 Univer
sity departments and local businesses.
The listings, updated bi-weekly, are for
"all wages, all hours," including some
"one-shot employment" jobs, Parker
said. ;;.--,;'V.
While the service might be perceived to
infringe on the rights of the UNC Student
Aid Office's work-study program, Student
Aid Director Eleanor Morris said the ser
vice is a "complement, not competition.
"I don't think the success of the service
at getting employers to list jobs will hurt

us," she said. Work-study funds come
from the federal government, aiding some
1,200 students this year. And about 8,000
students, who are not on work-study, are
paid through University payrolls, in
cluding the hospital, she added.
Before the days of federally-funded
financial assistance, the Student Aid of
fice's chief function was coordinating a
"self-help jobs" program, finding on- and
off-campus jobs for students. "That pro
gram served the same central function that
the student service, we hope, will be able
to do."
"The jobs that the student service will
be handling will be paid through the
operational budget of each department,"
Morris said.
While the .service t does , no, screening,
students should be sure they are qualified
before they interview with prospective
employers, Parker said.
The service got a boost from the UNC
Business and Finance office which recently
asked University departments to list part
time jobs through the service.
."The service is also recognized and sup
ported by the Chapel Hill-Carrboro
Chamber of Commerce," Parker said.
The chamber included an article about the
service in its July newsletter, and sent let
ters to their 500-member directory that
drew a reply from several hundred
' businesses. , .
"(Student Government) developed this
program because of the fear of drastic cuts
in financial aid," Parker said. "Whether
we agree or not on national financial aid
cuts, we have to act on it. And that's what
we've done by coordinating jobs for
students." He noted that the UNC Stu
dent Aid office had to turn down requests
from some 500 students for aid this year.
Parker also said there has been con
sideration of expanding the program from
its present cabinet-level position in Student
Government. "Mike (Vandenbergh) and I
talked about making it a separate office,
with a board of directors, under Student
Affairs.",,
.
The office is open 1-4 p.m. Monday
through Thursday. Volunteers from the
student liaison program also will man the
two office phones during those hours.
