Some students earn extra
experience working in
Jobs are available on campuis
in work-stedly 9 staff positions
By KRISTEN GARDNER
Staff Writer
While some students will be slaving
over the books this summer and
others will make a few extra bucks
with an off-campus job, many stu
dents will be taking advantage of
employment opportunities on UNC's
campus.
The majority of students will be
employed in summer staff positions
by the Department of University
Housing or as orientation commis
sioners by the division of Student
Affairs.
Other students will be employed
on campus in work-study positions.
Ann Stevens, area director for
Henderson Residence College, said
that University Housing has four
positions on their summer staff for
students: summer school resident
assistant, orientation resident assist
ant, conference assistant and desk
assistant.
University Housing has employed
12 summer school RA's in Craige
Residence Hall, Stevens said.
Summer RA's must be enrolled in
summer school for a minimum of
three hours per session.
The duties of a summer RA are
the same as those of an RA during
the school year, Stevens said. RA's
are responsible for planning pro
grams and providing counseling for
residents, as well as handling keys
and keeping order on the hall.
Housing has selected 10 orienta
tion resident assistants, Stevens said.
Orientation RA's will work on
weekends during the summer to act
as RA's for participants in the
Carolina Testing -and. Orientations

Program.
The orientation RA position was
created this year to give incoming
freshmen an opportunity to see what
kind of services an RA will provide
for them in the fall. "Prospective
students have a real idea of what an
R A is like once they get to Carolina,"
Stevens said.
Orientation RA"s do not have to
be enrolled in summer school, Stev
ens said. -
Housing has also employed desk
assistants to sit at the desk at Craige.
Desk assistants do not have to be
enrolled in summer school, and
preference will be given to current
desk assistants in Craige.
Ten conference assistants, who
have already been selected for this
summer, will run desks, provide
orientation services, and handle keys
and inventory in the buildings that
will be used for conference housing.
- Students with experience in the
Housing department are preferred,
and conference assistants must live
on campus.
Groups that use conference hous
ing include athletic camps, Project
Uplift, Upward Bound, the American
Law Association and other profes
sional groups.
Shirley Hunter, diector of orien
tation, said she hired 20 orientation
commissioners to help run the orien
tation program.
Orientation commissioners "help
design the orientation program, and
help facilitate some of the actual
presentations," Hunter said.
"I bounce ideas off them and they
come up with some on their own,"
she said. "Together we try to design

around campus. Biology
a wide variety of jobs.
Orientation commissioners must
live on campus all summer. Hunter
said, and she prefers that they not
be enrolled in summer school so they
can devote more time to their duties.
A commissioner's job isn't over
when summer ends, however. Orien
tation commissioners recruit volun
teers to be orientation counselors,
who will help students move in and
plan and execute programs in the fall.
Hunter said.
Orientation commissioners must
apply, go through a group screening,
and attend four training workshops
before their selection. Selections were
posted in December.
A smaller number of students will
work on campus in work-study
positions. Mary Garren, assistant
director for employment in the
Student Aid office, said she expected
1 50 to 200 students to be employed
in work-study positions.
Work-study is a federal financial
aid program, Garren said, and its
participants have been approved to
earn money in a federal program.
Eligibility is determined separately
from the school year, so prospective
workers must reapply.
On-campus jobs account for 85
percent to 90 percent of all work
study positions, Garren said. Stu
dents are employed all over the
University in every field except food
service and janitorial service, includ
ing libraries, labs and day-care
centers.
Work-study positions constitute a
minority of student summer,
employees. "Work-study is just a
microcosm of student employment in
the summertime," Garren said.
