Sponsors Job Seminar
By Stan Meihaus
Phi Beta Lambda, the busi
ness fraternity at ACC, spon
sored a job opportunity seminar
on Thursday, NOv, 19. The
seminar was attended by well
over 100 students and featured
businesses from all around the
state.
The first to speak was Holly
Carrington, a recruitment repre
sentative from Carolina Power
and Light Company. Carrington
noted that, although C.P. and
L’s primary needs were for
engineers and technicians, it
had about 30 positions open to
business administration majors.
Some of these positions were
officer supervisor and customer
service representative jobs.
The next speaker, John
Anthony, was a certified public
accountant. Anthony was not
recruiting; he did, however,
make a number of interesting
predictions for future public
accountants, one of which was a
need for specialization. He also
told the seminar participants
that the job market in ac
counting was very good and
would probably remain that way
for some period of time.
The next speaker was a
division manager for Jefferson
Standard Life Insurance, Daniel
Hewitt. Hewitt emphasized a
business major with good Eng
lish skills as necessary for a
good start in the insurance field.
He also said that there were
some jobs for math majors in
insurance.
Bill Clark spoke for the
Squibb Company, a large phar
maceutical manufacturer.
Squibb’s primary employment
opportunities were in the re
search, development and ad
ministration fields. A science or
business major is ideal, and
Clark noted that in the pharma
ceutical business, working con
ditions and pay are usually
excellent.
Jerry Smith represented
Wachovia Bank at the seminar.
Smith spoke of an increase in
the number of automatic
bankers and a need in the
banking system for personal
bankers and collectors. He
noted that banking salaries are
competitive and that business or
accounting majors are excellent
for this job.
The last speaker was Bea
Winstead, personnel coordina
tor for Belk Tyler. Winstead
noted that a job at Belk Tyler
would be ideal for someone who
liked working with fashions and
designs. She also said that at
Belk Tyler there are many
people who have been there for
a long time, and that a career at
BT was certainly possible.
After the speakers were
finished, they answered indivi
dual questions from students.
There were enough people in
attendance to warrant a job
seminar next year, and f>ossibly
this could becomc an annual
event at ACC.

By Dr. Ross Albert

mitting the gruesome murder of
her parents. The story is told in
a series of flashbacks prompted

the role of Emma, Lizzie’s
sister. Abby, Lizzie’s step
mother, will be sung by junior
Angela May, and Andrew, Liz
zie’s father, will be sung by
junior Burton (Tripp) Campbell.
A little rope-skipping ditty,
"Lizzie Borden took an axe.
Gave her mother forty
whacks.
When she saw what she had
done.
She gave her father forty-
one.”
provides verse and tune conti
nuity throughout the opera. The
offstage children’s chorus will
be sung by freshmen Cindy
Ayres, Julie Barbee and Lisa
Lamm. The little girl skipping
rope in the scenic overture will

Judge Thomas Urges
Youth Involvement
By Johnny Johnson
District Court Judge A1
Thomas gave a brief talk to the
AC Young Democrats Nov. 17 at
Parker’s Barbecue Restaurant.
After his talk, Thomas answered
questions from the group.
Thomas, a native Wilsonian,
received his undergraduate de
gree in journalism as well as his
law degree from the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
In addition to his seat on the
bench, he is a sports writer for a
Wilmington newspaper.
Thomas urged the Young
Democrats to be involved in
politics. Thomas said that he
made a mistake in 1968 when he
“went home” after Robert Ken
nedy was assassinated. He
urged the group not to allow
another Richard Nixon to be
elected.
Judge Thomas, who is active
ly involved in juvenile courts,
fielded questions on the prob
lem of youth and the law. He
asked the YDs what they-
thought was just punishment for
crimes such as being caught
at the age of 20 with bourbon,
when at age 21 you can buy it
legally and for the past two
years you have been allowed to
purchase beer and wine.
Also discussed were the legal
boundaries of organizations
such as the Moral Majority, and
those groups exceeding their
bounds. They were not, accord
ing to Judge Thomas. Finally,
the questions and comments
turned to capital punishment
and the power of the judiciary.
The next YD meeting will be
Dec. 3 at 11 a.m. in Hines 209.
