Seniors plagued with career panic
By MEREDITH CREWS
SUIT Writer
Every Carolina student faces
decisions and complications, but
decision-making can lead to panic for
seniors who face the possibilities of
applying for graduate schools or seeking
employment.
Jane C. Kendall, a counselor with the
Career Planning and Placement office,
says many seniors do not know where to
begin when trying to make decisions.
"Seniors don't know how to begin or
where to find help," she says. "The
decision-making situations hit faster
than they expect, and seniors just aren't
prepared for the hassles."
The first step a senior should take is to
talk to his adviser to see whether the
academic and swim test requirements
for graduation have been met.
1 1 they have, a senior then must decide
whether to attend graduate school or
seek employment.
Seniors hoping to attend graduate
schools should fill out applications for
the Graduate Record Exam or Law
School Admissions Test.
Also, seniors applying to graduate
schools should -'check the school's
catalog to see whether additional
comprehensive tests are required for
admittance.
For seniors not planning to go to
graduate school, the job-seeking process
cannot begin until a resume is prepared.
A resume contains information needed
by a potential employer such as the

applicant's quality-point average and
previous experience.
A senior can learn how to correctly
prepare a resume by taking a course
offered by the Career Planning and
Placement office.
The course includes preparing
resumes, handling job interviews and
determining assets that can be
advantageous to employers. The course
is offered throughout the year and
interested students should go to the
Career Planning and Placement office
in 211 Manes Hall to receive
information or to sign up for the course.
It is best to take the entire course, but
students may take only certain areas of
the course.
Some professional schools also offer
seminars on preparing job resumes.
The job interview that sometimes
follows an application causes anxiety
lor some seniors, but the Career
Planning and Placement course offers
advice that might help a student survive
the ordeal.
Also, magazines and books
sometimes have articles or chapters
devoted to instructing a job applicant on

Although the University continues to
drill wells on campus, none of the water
pumped from these wells will be used for
drinking.
"It's not so much that the cost would
be prohibitive; we just don't want to get
into the water business again," said
Gene Swecker, director of the physical
plant.
"Making the water drinkable would

Harold A. Covington, commander of
the National Socialist Party of North
Carolina, has initiated a taped "white
power" telephone message as part of his
campaign for a seat on the Raleigh City
Council.
The message, which is changed
weekly, gives the listener insight into
Covington's political views.
His tape this week, for example,
features the Nazi candidate's attitudes
on busing and integration. In the
message, he relates an incident in a
Raleigh school where a dozen blacks
allegedly beat a white student. "For all
their swaggering and boasting, they feel
safer running in packs," he says.
Covington predicts "white kids (will)
get sick of being tyrannized by black
thugs and start trading blows" unless the

Creature carnage . . .
After your praying mantis eats your
snake, what will happen to your lizard?
Your tarantula devours it, of course.
The tarantula, called Abdul, is the
newest resident of the unofficial UNC
zoo located in a South Campus
dormitory room. The 700 has an
interesting past.
Its first residents were a lizard, a
garter snake and a six-inch praying
mantis. They lived together in a
terrarium.
And they lived peacefully until the
preying mantis ate the snake. Then the
carnage began.
The owners were so upset with the
praying mantis that he was executed at
sunrise by firecracker.

That left the lizard all alone, so five
residents of the suite shelled out $26 for
a tarantula to keep the lizard company.
Unfortunately, the lizard thought the
tarantula was lunch and attacked him.
But the tarantula overpowered him, and
the only part of the lizard left was his
skin.
The tarantula is supposed to have a
long life span.
But if history is any guide, Abdul
probably won't.
Afraid to walk alone . . .
Walking alone to night labs caused so
much concern among freshmen women
during orientation that a Hinton James
academic-resource person (ARP) put in
some effort and arrived at a workable
solution.
Al Godley put up a poster asking
people who didn't want to walk alone to
sign up. He then helped people in the
same labs to contact each other.
Thus far, the program involves about
30 James residents. Godley said he
would like to expand the program to
other South Campus dorms, thus
serving more people.
The program is part of Godley's role
as an ARP putting people in touch
with each other. Godley said he -is
optimistic about the ARP program.
The ARP, which was started this
year, is supposed to provide students
with academic advice from the student
point of view, Godley said.
The Hinton James Department of
Defense? Hinton James Dormitory
does not have an army, but it does have
a Tae Kwan Do class that meets twice a
week.
Tae Kwan Do is a Korean martial art.
Mark Sternlicht, a third-year law
student and first-degree black belt in
Tae K wan Do, teaches the class of about
15 persons.
The class, made up mostly of James
residents, has many different levels of
students, Sternlicht said. They range
from two black belts, Ned Danieley
and Harold Woodard, to beginners.
The class costs $20 for beginners, $15
for advanced students and nothing for
the black belts, Sternlicht said.
Sternlicht has been teaching the class
since last January. He studied Tae
Kwan Do for five years.
Student growth
required creation
of department
In response to increasing student
interest in developing speech and
, communication' skills, the
Department of Speech
Communication was created this
summer.
Previously, speech was a division
of the English department.
More than 1,100 students are
expected to take the traditional and
contemporary speech courses each
semester, said James W. Pence,
former director of the speech
division and acting chairperson of
the department.
Before the department was
created, Pence said the speech
division made its own schedule for
courses but the final budget was
part of the English department
allocation and had to be approved
by the English department.
The department now has its own
budget and a direct channel of
communications to the University.
It is recognized as a clearly
definable, separate discipline,
Pence said.
