Students discuss interviews
Impression ma tter of selling self
By MARTHA WAGGONER
Staff Writer
Making a good impression in an interview
with potential employers is a matter of
selling yourself, according to 'students
involved recently in an on-campus recruiting
program.
"You try to show someone you could help
his company," said Jim Northington, a
UNC senior wfio is preparing for his second
interview.
Graduate school interviews differ from
sessions with employers, according to Jane
Orahood. "They're trying to sell themselves
rather than you trying to sell yourself."
Orahood and Northineton were among
the students questioned recently "who have
participated in interviews arranged through
an on-campus recruiting program sponsored
by the Career Planning and Placement
office..
Students questioned agreed that
preparation is the basic step in preparing for
a job interview. A student can prepare by
reading the literature provided by the
company. Other students prepare by talking
to other interviewees.
One recruiter said finding out about the
interviewing company is the most important
step. "One might just "be the job that's very
important to you," Eaton Corporation
recruiter Sunnie Hoffman said. "You should
be interested enough to do a little research on
them.
"Companies are looking for people really
interested in working for their company.
They're looking for someone who's looking
for something more opportunity, growth.
Some students sound like they want the same
job 20 years from now."
She added that a degree in business
administration gives a student "the
opportunity to go in many different
directions. Today you'ean't get through the
door without a college degree.
"An MBA is not that important, but in 10
years, you won't be able to get a job without
one. People now are being very selective."
James Krause, a May 1977 graduate using
the recruiting program, advised students to
"stay in school, get as many degrees as you
can and when they throw you out, the jobs
come running to you."
Krause, who had a job and quit , said he is
23 and does not know what he wants to do. "I
think that's common," he said. "Ninety-five
percent of the students probably don't know
what they want to do."
Buddy Lewter. a senior, has been through
1 1 interviews. "Right ,now 1 don't have any
prospects," he said. "So far it's been a
disappointment at the mailbox."

Recruiting picks up again from January to
early April during the spring, she said.
Most of the on-campus activity by
employers is limited to screening interviews,
Kendall said. "If the company is interested in
you. they will probably want to interview
you in the home office."
The interviewers include representatives
from businesses, federal organizations, non
profit organizations and graduate schools.
Graduate school interviews are not for
application but rather offer the students an
opportunity to gather information about the
different schools and their programs.
Students who wish to participate in the
recruiting program should attend a
registration-orientation meeting.
Other job information is available in 208
Hanes Hall. Companies provide giveaway
copies of literature about their business.
There is also a permanent information file,
Kendall said only 20 percent of available
jobs are advertised and that on-campus
interviewing is only one form of advertising
vacancies. She advises students not to be
discouraged if they are not interested in the
types of jobs offered through on-campus
recruiting. "This is only one of many ways to
get a job." she said,
I nun I nited Press International
CHICAGO (DPI) - The American
Medical Association and the American Bar
Association issued a joint appeal to
Congress and state legislatures Sunday to
repeal criminal penalties for use of
marijuana.
"We believe the time has come to liberalize
laws regarding the possession of marijuana
for personal use," said the five-paragraph
statement by the two Chicago-based
organizations, both of which previously had
urged the lessening of criminal penalties
concerning marijuana.
"In too many slates, statutes exact
punishment that far exceeds the crime," the
statement said. "We agree with President
Carter, v. ho showed a reasonable attitude in
asking that the possession of insignificant
amounts for personal use should not subject
the user to criminal charges."
Women's meet Friday
WASHINGTON (DPI) - National
Women's Conference delegates will witness
an unprecedented showdown this week
between feminists and a coalition of
conservatives including the Ku Klux Klan
- who say equality will destroy the
American family.
An estimated 20.000 women will meet in
Houston I riday for the start of the $5
million federally sponsored meeting the
first such gathering of its kind in D.S.
history.
Among them will be about 2.000 official
delegates eligible to vote on a sweeping
platform of women's issues including
abortion, lesbian rights and the Equal Rights
Amendment.
Decoys capture rapists
SAN JOSE. Calif. (DPI) - Armed
policewomen shot one would-be rapist and
captured another in the weekend start of a
decoy operation in and around San Jose
State University, site of 30 recent sexual
assaults, authorities said,
Six women, including a nun who was
raped in a convent, were assaulted in the
university area during the past week, and 14
have been sexually attacked since the fall
semester began, causing formation of the
decoy unit.

Black group blasts plan
GREENSBORO -- A group of black
North Carolinians says it is "outraged" by
the state's plan to desegregate the 16-campus
University of North Carolina system.
G, l Laws, a spokesperson for the North
Carolina Alumni and Friends Coalition,
said the group is particularly upset that state
officials are risking the loss of federal funds
by defying guidelines and timetables set by
the U.S. Department of Health, Education
and Welfare.
After meeting fortwodays inGrecnshoro,
a group of about 75 blacks drew up a
statement blasting UNC officials for their
response to HEW guidelines.
"First, the group is appalled that state
officials are jeopardizing critical federal
funds $100 million by their defiance of
the HEW criteria and guidelines," Laws said
in the statement,
"The general administration of the
University system and its governing board
refuse to admit that there still remain strong
evidences of a (racially) dual system," he
said.

the justice system was perverted - one of the
major points of the book.
"We've had the notion that the system
works, especially after Watergate, Well, in
this case, the system didn't work. A new
system was created, one that uses the media
extensively and in which only the lawyer
publicists belong."
The heart of the book is the guilt or
innocence of Joan Little, and she is at the
center of this question. But Reston says his
talks with Little were unproductive. She had
been trained by her attorney, Jerry Paul, on
how to answer questions, Reston says, and
she was so accustomed to answering them
that talking to her was of little use.
Instead, Reston relies on the opinions of
others and evidence he found.
"I hope it's revealing to the reader to
realize his own prejudices. I hope it raises the
question of what guilty means and will
change the idea of what a heroine is,"
