2The Daily Tar HeelThursday. February 14. 1985 LO, Jordan reach tentative peace agreement t-rom I nited lrtv International reports CAIRO. Hgypt A senior adviser to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said Tuesday that Yassar Arafat and King Hussein of Jordan had reached an agreement on a peace plan that was a "significant breakthrough" in efforts to revive talks on peace in the Middle East. Declining to give details on the agreement, Osama el-Baz, the adviser, was in Amman, Jordan, mon itoring the two days of talks between the PLO chairman and the Jordanian king. The Jordanian press agency announced Monday that the two had agreed on preliminary plans for a joint effort to achieve a "just and peaceful settlement" of the Palestinian issue. "For the first time, the PLO has unequivocally and irrevocably accepted the premise of a peaceful settlement to the Arab-Israeli conflict," Baz said in a Cairo interview. But Israeli officials were less enthusiastic about the reported agreement. "It isn't clear what they did in Amman. We'll wait patiently, not nervously," said Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres. The Reagan administration cautiously welcomed the announcement, but restated its position that the Arab countries had to negotiate directly with Israel. The U.S. refuses to open direct negotiations with the PLO, waiting for the organization to accept U.N. Security Council Resolution 242, which recognizes the state of Israel and its borders and denies Israeli sovereignty over lands captured in the 1967 war. But some European and Arab diplomats said Tuesday the agreement might not produce a quick resumption of the peace negotiation process One diplomat said Arafat valued his own. prestige and internal PLO issues more highly than a possible peace settlement. V Baz said the United States should reward Arafat's "courageous step" and called for the United States to show "a willingness and the ability to come to terms with a joint Arab move. "The ball is now squarely in the U.S. court," he said. ' Government jobs often pay less than others, panelists say By KATHY NANNEY Staff Writer A variety of jobs in government is available to college graduates of all majors, but salaries generally are not as high as those of jobs in the private sector, three panelists told about 50 students Tuesday night at a forum titled "Careers in Government." "A majority of people in my field hold jobs classified as personnel analysts, but they do a variety of jobs," said Martha Jo Campbell, a personnel analyst who works with Affirmative Action in the state employment office in Raleigh. Personnel analysts deal with employee relations, equal employment opportunity regulations, recruitment and employee development, Campbell said. Politically inspired decisions can be a disadvantage to people working with state or federal government, Campbell said. "Politics can dictate how many jobs are available, what jobs exist and even if you will continue to have a job," Campbell said. She said she once lost a job because of a cutback in federal funding for a project. Greg Feller, a town planner with the town of Chapel Hill, said a job such as his was good for a person who had a tnuoh din and enjoyed controversy. Feller currently is working with growth management. He said there often were conflicts between business and residential expansion and residents who fear too-rapid growth. Being able to negotiate with people and plan for future developments are the most important aspects of his job, Feller said. A bachelor's degree generally is the entry-level requirement for people in federal government, said Greg McNeal, supervisor and personnel staffing specialist in the federal Office of Personnel Management in Raleigh. "Any type of bachelor's degree is generally (satisfactory)," McNeal said. Campus Calendar Thursday Noon Japanese Conversational meet ing in 226 Union.

'Dinosaur' bites back WASHINGTON The U.S. Postal Service says a new study calling it one of the "worst managed" and "least honest" corporations in America and urging private compe tition with first-class mail delivery is biased and inaccurate.
