With several musicals opening in
the area, there is one production in
particular that will be delightful.

and producing
“The Soimd of Music” Nov. 11-14

Buncombe Community Theatre.
The Mars Hill students are easily
leading the Rogers & Hammerstein
musical. As a stage performance,
Ursula Koonish, a 1979 graduate of
Mars Hill, says the performance will
be different from the Hollywood
version.
“First of all, these are live actors
and not some on a stage,” explained
Koonish. “It is much better that
what Hollywood came up with.”
Koonish said there are not as many
“Disney-esque” pitfalls. “We are

is portrayed as a hard, cold,
money-hungry vixen. “Here, she is
portrayed as a sensitive and very
intelligent woman who realizes the
marriage to Georg cannot happen,”
said Koonish.

The Career Day Experience And Beyond
By Rhonda Baity
Hilltop Staff Writer
An exciting opportunity for
students and faculty to meet possible
future employers was offered to
them on Thursday, October 28.
Recruiters from all over the state
and Georgia came to lend then-
knowledge and advice to the student
who is planning to enter the job
market. On the success of C!areer
Day, Nancy Harmon, career
guidance and placement counselor,
remarked, “Overall I think C!areer
Day went very well.”
Harmon also stated, “I would
like to have seen more students and
faculty participate.” She believes
that through meeting prospective
employers, students will begin to
understand that many employers
stress the need for contacts,
networking, and experience.
Addressing the faculty, Harmon
stated, “Faculty will find Career Day
surprising; the recruiters can offer
feedback on what kind of courses to
offer that would make students
better prepared for the working
environment. In addition, the
recruiters feel that through this
informational setting, we are
providing an opportunity for faculty
to gather subject matter to be taught
in courses.” In some respects,
Harmon said that recruiters can
provide ideas to enhance curriculum
to better prepare students for the job
market. She said that Career Day
can provide a sound base for
mternship positions.
Commenting on a change for
Career Day, Harmon stated, “I
would have liked to see students
prepare more. They should be more
actively involved in resume
workshops and treat it as an
introduction to the career world.”
Students have requested
different hours for Career Day
because this year’s hours conflicted
with some class schedules.
Located on the third floor of
Wren College Union, the Office of
Counseling and Career Programs
offers a variety of opportunities for
students to explore careers and
prepare themselves for the job
market.
“Making the transition from
college to the working environment
can be a frightening experience. The
Career Counseling Office can make
the transition easier and less
traumatic," Harmon said.
For freshmen, Harmon
recommends that they utilize the
Myers-Briggs and Strong Campbell
as personality and career
instruments as well as take a variety
of classes to help them get mto a
major where they will be successful
and happy.
Harmon said, “Sophomores
should use the Counseling and
Career Programs to continue to
explore. The Career Library and
SIGI will help them explore different
jobs, and gain information about
jobs, salaries, and job outlook in
certain professions. Sophomores
can start exploring internship
opportunities for their junior and
senior year. They can also do
informational interviewing in their
area of interest.”
