TQMvemty career seirvice veFlhgumls Feseme-drop process By FELISA NEURINGER , Business Editor UNC seniors have landed jobs through on-campus interviews for more than 40 years, and now the University Career Planning and Placement Service is making that process easier. Two-thirds of the more than 270 employers who recruit at the Univer sity use the pre-screening process, said Marcia Harris, UCPPS director. The pre-screening system allows students to drop their resumes at the UCPPS office. The recruiters then review the , resumes and select the students they want to interview on campus. "In the past, we had five (resume) drops a year," Harris said. "While it worked fairly well, there were some problems." This year, students can drop their resumes for pre-screening every Tuesday. The drops, which began yesterday, are scheduled three weeks before the actual interviews take place, she said. ; "Using the old system, if you missed one of the drop days, you were Merchant By KIMBERLY EDENS Staff Writer Johnny T-Shirt isn't standing alone in its legal battle against UNC. A Chapel Hill merchants associa tion announced last week that it backs Johnny T-Shirt's countersuit against the University. .

"Now you'd only miss one week's worth of interviews." Another advantage of the weekly drop system is that fewer companies are participating per drop. When there were 70 resume drop boxes stacked up representing 70 employers, there was "total havoc" in the office, she said. The lines were so long that some students waited more than an hour to drop only two resumes. Nancy Linder, a senior business major from Hendersonville, plans to participate in the weekly resume drops. "From what IVe heard, it (weekly drops) will eliminate the lines, and overall, it should be a better system," she said. The pre-screening system, which began in 1983, resulted from the tight job market of the early TSOs, Harris said. Every night for an entire year, students camped out in the halls of Hanes Hall in order to sign up for interviews. "We even made the national news grouip siapporfts Johnny T-Shirt Shirt for trademark infringement in July. The Downtown Chapel Hill Asso ciation (DCHA), an organization of approximately 60 businesses, has announced that it supports Johnny T-Shirt's case. The organization contributed $250 to the store for legal fees. "Johnny T-Shirt is clearly in the right," said Bill Kohn, DCHA president.

"This was an irrational system, since the sche dule of students was based on who set the alarm clock, early rather than who was the most qualified (for the job)." Harris said she believes the pre screening process has generated more job offers because employers are looking at the most qualified students from the start. But being pre-selected is not the whole state of North Carolina," he said. "UNC should drop the suit, and drop the licensing program." The outcome of the case will affect many merchants on Franklin Street, said Michael Helpingstine, co-owner of Johnny T-Shirt and member of the DCHA Board of Directors.

Sharon Wiatt, associate director of UCPPS, said on-campus interview ing is very competitive, but students who find jobs through these inter views generally get higher salaries. "They get the more career-oriented, management-track jobs," she said. Harris said approximately 40 percent of UNC's 1986 graduating seniors found jobs through on campus interviews, and that number should increase in the future. Recruit ers conducted more than 6,060 interviews during the 1986-87 school year. The success rate will be higher because more students are using the UCPPS office and more employers are recruiting at UNC, she said. "Many employers are reducing the number of schools they are going to in order to be more cost-effective," Harris said. "But they're keeping Carolina on their list."

Boulton, who oversees the Div ision of Student Affairs, said he welcomes students who just want to chat as well as those who have questions or concerns. He said students have asked a wide variety of questions about problems, including dealing with roommates and drumming up support for student projects. If he can't help students answer specific questions or solve certain problems, Boulton said he will refer them to the University departments that can.

"On-campus interviewing is. our. best source (for finding employees)," said Decherd, assistant director of recruiting for Arthur Andersen & Co. in the Carolinas. "We get a lot of mileage out of sending people to one central location to interview so many . qualified candidates." The accounting firm interviews more than 200 undergraduates each year, and of those interviewed, approximately 60' get job offers, he said. Jim Greenwood, IBM's manager of corporate college relations and recruiting for the Southern region, said he interviews at the University in the fall and spring. "It's a very inexpensive way for industries to recruit," he said. "But more imp tantly, it's great for the students because the recruiters come to them on their own campus." Students who want more informa tion on the resume drops and on campus interviewing should go by the UCPPS office in 211 Hanes Hall. 102 Steele Building. Appointments are not neces sary, although students are wel come to call and make an appoint ment with Boulton if the Tuesday office hours are not convenient. Boulton started holding "drop in" office hours last year, following the suggestions of student leaders. Since then it has become a per manent part of his schedule. "I enjoy the program because it keeps me in touch with students' concerns and problems," Boulton said. Boulton welcomes anyone to visit his office, even if it is just to chat. "Students come and talk to me about everything. It is great to have students come by to introduce themselves and tell me how things are going," he said. Boulton has received a good response to his Tuesday office hours and says that if the need arises, he will expand his "drop in" hours. o stay someplace else.
