4The Daily Tar Heel Friday, August 29, 1986 teFttieff salaries rise for class off '86 try By FEUSA NEURINGER Staff Writer The average starting salary for most jobs taken by 1986 college graduates increased between I and 4 percent since last year, according to the College Placement Council (CPC) in Bethlehem, Pa. " "This increase is pretty consistent with the past couple of years," said Rhea Nagle, Resource Information Center coordinator for CPC. The College Placement Council receives starting salary information from 183 placement offices and 161 colleges and universities nationwide. ' The highest starting salary recorded for 1986 goes to petroleum engineers, who receive $33,000 a year. Chemical engineers have the second highest salary at $29,256. Next comes the electrical engineers, who start at $28,368 a year. Statistics show that students who major in the humanities or social sciences receive lower starting salar ies. Nagle said this statistic is deceiving because many of the positions related to these two disci plines require training. Eventually Plans for town walking trails sidetracked By GRETCHEN WHITE Staff Writer For the Chapel Hill Greenways Commission, building a network of walking trails to connect neighbor hoods has not proven as easy as expected. The commission, formed one year ago as a project of the Parks and Recreation Department, aims to build nature trails through wooded areas or along waterways as an alternative to walking on the streets.

The statistics for UNC-CH grad uates seem to coincide with the information released by CPC. A survey administered by Career Planning and Placement Services gives some preliminary results about the May 1986 graduates. The com plete report will be published in January 1987, said Marcia Harris, director at CPPS. At this time, comparing the start ing salary offers for 1985 and 1986 UNC-CH graduates reveals that in 1985, business majors averaged $18,060 a year, whereas 1986 bus iness majors averaged $19,236. Computer science majors had the highest salaries of college grads in both 1985 and 1986 $24,516 and $24,876 respectively. Industrial relations majors had the most significant increase in starting salar ies $15,396 in 1985 and $17,916 in 1986 a jump of $2,520. Liberal arts majors in general have received slightly higher salaries this year. "There is a swing back to liberal Hill's three major creeks Bolin, Booker and Morgan. Land is acquired in either of two ways through private donations or through the Development Ordi nance, which requires developers to give a certain amount of land to the city for recreational purposes when they build a subdivision. But the Greenways Commission recently has hit a few snags in its plans, according to Chairman Phillip Sloane. The greatest difficulty has arisen with a greenway in the plans of the proposed Sugarberry housing devel- AbsStsr: 1986 Domino's Pizza, Inc. arts . . . there are more options, and more employers are seeking these liberal arts majors," said Harris. Harris emphasized that the pre liminary salary data comes from students who got the earlier and higher-paying job offers. As the rest of the results are tabulated, the average salaries for 1986 could go down. The CPC reported that women, when in equal situations with men, are receiving lower salary offers than men. "Generally, women put more graphic restrictions (unwillingness to relocate) or are more interested in the humanities and the arts; there fore, they will receive the lower salaries," said Harris. "However, at UNC-CH, we see no significant difference in salaries. . . . If anything, the salaries for 1985 show that women received higher offers than men in some fields such as accounting, business and compu ter science," Harris said. According to CPC, the fields with the greatest demand for college graduates are accounting, business, opment off Greenwood Road. The original application for the subdivision was denied by Chapel Hill Town Council, but developer James E. Allen said he would reapply. The plans designate land to be given to the commission for another walking trail. However, a lobbyist group, Greenways Advocacy, com posed of residents from nearby developments, is pushing for Sugar berry to be denied again, according to Allen. "Greenways really stand to gain, because they would get the land surrounding the stream," he said. "I don't know why they're doing it." The plans also include the exten sion of Sandy Creek Trail Road, Allen said. Although Sloane has complained the road would be too close to the greenway, the road actually would be east of it and would not disturb pedestrians, Allen said. There are some problems also with the Glendale-Battle Park trail, which is scheduled for dedication in the near future. It would run from UNC-owned Battle Park, through wooded and it's More Than t's A Firm SupportAvailable in (fc) March of Dimes U BIRTH KFSCTS FOUNDATION HUBi rudiu luic ui Mil cuuuri uriiJUbiuun r Folds into Couch Convertible Frames Cnrt&rnnnrnrt Dlaffnrm Doric Dom iHfi il t Custom CoversCoord.nated Accessories natu r a I h o m e Summer IMJ&KMG SEISMIC Towim off Cflnapell IHInfll 968-2758 5 Convenient Locations Available UNC Hourly and Monthly Rates N I C 1 B ROSEMARY education and health-related areas. The "hottest field" is investment banking, said Harris. "Many top notch New York banks are interested in our students and have recently started recruiting here at UNC." The computer science field is not faring well since the computer market is in a slump, Harris added. "If salary is your top priority, the best approach is to be open to relocating," said Harris. Results of CPC's surveys (since 1984) are available in the career office (second floor of Hanes Hall). These results enable students to see what kind of jobs and starting salaries past UNC-CH graduates have found. Harris stressed that many surveys seem to compare the salary to someone's major. But, she added, "It's what the student has done to prepare himself for the job search, such as having good grades and participating in campus activities, that puts him in good shape as far as salaries and job offers are concerned." grassy areas, to University Mall, but "some of the townspeople are fearful of rowdy, raucous college people intruding on their privacy," Sloane said. Bill Webster, a recreation special ist with the Parks and Recreation Office, denied there was a problem with the trail. 44 We haven't heard any complaints about Battle Park," he said. "WeVe had a lot of vocal support for the Glendale-Battle Park trail." Webster did acknowledge that there had been negative comments about the Morgan Creek Greenway, however, mostly from nearby resi dents who resented the loss of privacy, he said. Despite the hassles, Sloane is optimistic about the greenways project. "We hope to build a whole system that will link every major neighbor hood in town," he said. Jim Herstine, Director of the Parks and Recreation Department, said greenways served the double function of preserving open space and providing recreation and transportation. The easements the Commission receives are between 10 and 100 feet across. Staff Writer Stephanie Burrow contributed to this story.

Thompson said he thought the age hike was "going to teach people that they can break the law and get away with it." Most area restaurants aren't too worried about losing business because of the age increase. Charles Smith, manager of The Rathskeller on Franklin Street, said that only 5 to 7 percent of his business was strictly alcohol sales and that food sales would probably make up for that eventually. At Colonel Chn'ney's on Rosem ary Street, the feeling was much the same. Tim Poe, a bartender at the restaurant, said that most of Chut ney's profits came from food sales, except on Sunday nights, so the age increase would probably not affect beer sales at all. Poe estimated that even on Sun days the number of drinkers under 21 at Chutney 's would be less than 10 percent. from page 1 boro Road has doubled its alcohol stock, according to Manager Tarry Cross.
