Attitudes Alan Young and Abdul Rahim perform at Cat's Cradle Thursday night
Small crowd . . . bad Attitudes
The Attitudes' show at Cat's Cradle
last Thursday was far from exuber
ant. In fact for most of the show, the
local band played in an almost empty
club.
The Attitudes, a five-member band
that has been playing in the Triangle
area for the past year, consists of
David Schwarz on drums, Nat Smith
on bass, Dave Rutter on lead vocals,
Alan Young on saxophone and
Abdul Rahim on trumpet. The group
plays primarily dance pop with a
funky, jazzy feel.
But what's a dance band to do
when nobody's dancing? Try as it did
to get people up and dancing, going
so far as to sponsor a bogus dance
contest, none of the 10 people there
chose to participate in it.
So much of a band's performance

can depend on its interaction with the
audience. Little distinguishes a show
in a nearly empty club from a practice
session at home. Even Smith admit
ted during the break that the guys
really weren't sure how to respond
to the audience's lack of reaction.
It wasn't until close to the end of
the first set that a few people started
to venture onto the dance floor. And
then a few more. And when more
people began trickling in later in the
evening, the band started playing
better. A whole lot better.

tion, the band really started to play
in its upbeat dance style. Before it
had been almost boring: long pauses
between songs, nervous joking on
stage and playing that neither clicked
nor had any of the characteristic raw
emotion of a really good live show.
Perhaps the Attitudes are aptly
named. When the atmosphere is just
right, they play a funky brand of pop.
But without that feeling in the air,
their music lacks any energy. The
show at the Cradle Thursday was a
case in point, but an unfortunate
Catch-22; it was not until people
started dancing that the group really
began to play its dance tunes.

Assistant Business Editor
Students nearing graduation who
plan to attend law or business school,
but want to work a few years first,
now have the option of landing a job
they can leave in a few years with
no strings attached.
Investment companies and law
firms have set up analyst programs
in which bright college graduates
work in well-paying, often high
pressure jobs for two or more years
before pursuing graduate studies.
"It's just what the doctor ordered,"
said Sharon Wiatt, associate director
for business placement at University
Career Planning and Placement
Services (UCPPS). "It helps people
decide what they want to do."
Analysts research industries and
markets in the United States and
abroad. They compile their research
into reports and projections on future
market and industry performance.
Depending on the company, analysts
may also meet with clients, and job
responsibility evolves based on
performance.
William Willis, a senior partner in
the New York-based law firm Sull
ivan and Cromwell, said the firm hires
graduates as paralegals to assist
attorneys with litigations. Unlike
most programs, the paralegal job is
not limited to two or three years,
Willis said.
Analyst and paralegal programs
often involve a lot of pressure, long
hours and comfortable starting
salaries.
Sam Sheagren, a second-year
analyst with Brown Brothers Hani
man and Co., a private bank on Wall
Street, said the salaries range from
$28,000 to $32,500 for analysts. But
he cautioned against working only for

the money.
"If you do it because of money,
youll burn out quickly," he said.
David Dickson, a UNC graduate
who works as an associate with Dillon
Read and Co. in New York, added,
"You gotta love it. One-hundred-hour
weeks are not uncommon."
Sheagren said analysts at Brown
Brothers Harriman would have a
slight advantage at being hired for
a full-time position after completing
graduate work, but different firms
have their own policies.
Wiatt said students benefit from
the programs because they gain
valuable work experience and make
some money before going back to
school. The companies benefit from
hiring the so-called "cream of the
crop" among college graduates.
"It's extremely competitive," Wiatt
said, adding that companies look for
students with high GPAs or some
evidence of achievement at the
collegiate level.
Employers with analyst programs
stress strong analytical and writing
skills, maturity and an interest in the
field as criteria for selection in the
programs. Applicants with most

liberal arts majors are welcome.
Brown Brothers Harriman looks
for people with leadership qualities
who may have had some work
experience in college, in addition to
a solid academic record, Sheagren
said.
"There's very rarely a cutoff," he
said. "If they've got a B average, that's
fine.
"The basic idea, I think ... is (the
company) could teach you a job, but
you've got to be able to learn it,"
Sheagren said.
UNC students think the programs
are a good idea. "It's a really good
learning experience," said Laura
Morgan, a junior business major. "If
there's any way I could possibly get
it, you bet I'd do it."
Jeff Smith, a senior political,
science major from Roanoke Rapids,
said, "If someone thinks they're not
ready for law school, it might be a
good idea to see what they're getting
themselves into. I might end up doing
it."
Students interested in the programs
should stop by UCPPS, located in
211 Hanes Hall, for more
information.
