Yack-one year at the Hill
y all can take with you
By ELIZABFTH MESSICK
Staff Writer
Years have passed since you were an
undergraduate at UN'C. One day you find an old
yearbook in the back of a closet, You have a few
minutes to spare, so you leaf through the book
and . . .
"The whole idea of the Yack is one year at
Carolina that you can take with you. That's why
our ads say 'Don't leave your friends and the fun
behind,' " Yack editor Ted Kyle says.
"The 1 977-78 Yackety Yack is more like a
journal of the year and will be divided by months.
This year the main section is the section that will
be. the story of the year: all the important events,
the people who were important, the things making
this year different from any other year at Carolina.
"When students look at this book, I want the
book to bring it all back. We're distilling the
content down so it will be concise, more
meaningful. We want it to have broader appeal
instead of slanted," Kyle says.
He leans back in his chair in the tiny Suite D
office and admits that the past year hasn't been
easy.
"Being editor is not all that much fun," he says.
"There are a lot of day-to-day things you have to
do like planning out sales of the book and
organizing a staff of 60 or 70. Mostly 1 have

coordinators who are responsible for getting
information about what's going on. The editor
finds out what has to be done and finds other
people to do it.
"Our worst problem this year has been waiting
seven months for last year's book to come and the
problems that created this year. We have a file of
several hundred letters from people wanting to
know where the book is, Day to day. it hung over
us.
"The main criticism about last year's book was
that it didn't represent the University, that it had
nice pictures but didn't concentrate on the
University."
Kyle continues to talk energetically as he selects
another university's annual from a bookcase and
opens it to the class section. Students portraits are
grouped, according to yearbook tradition, by
class, but broken by the graphics of the school
newspaper.
"In our portrait section, we put the classes all
together, everybody in alphabetical order.
Throughout that section to break up the pictures
and provide a record of the year we will have most
of the front pages of the Tar Heel, because it is
something everybody reads and remembers.
He continues to flip through the book in his
hand. "You will almost be able to read the
newspapers," he says.
Kenan professor, dies at 80
Ph.D. degree here.
Before his retirement in 1963, he served as
chairperson of the folklore curriculum. He
directed graduate work in the English
Romantic period and published extensively,
chiefly in the fields of folksong, folklore and
Southern regional literature.
In 1972 Hudson was elected an honorary
life member of the N.C. Folklore Society.

Kyle says that because this Yack will be grouped
by months, his staff is having no trouble meeting
deadlines. "Last year's book being so late showed
me how important it was to delegate
responsibility. In a way it has scared me into
realizing this could happen to me, too," he says.
When asked what makes being Yack editor
special, Kyle pauses thoughtfully for a moment.
"All these people around here. That's the most
important thing. I'll just remember them as a
bunch of special individuals. A lot of people want
to work on a yearbook. They're a different kind of
person."
The award was presented in recognition of
his personal achievements and contributions
to the group as executive secretary 1943-63.
Hudson also was honorary life president
of the Mississippi Folklore Society, which he
founded in 1927, and a member of the
Modern Language Association of America,
American Folklore Society, South Atlantic
Modern Language Association and College
English Association.
Books by Hudson include: Folksongs of
Mississippi and Their Background; Humor
of the Old Deep South: and The Frank C.
Brown Collection of North Carolina
Folklore. He also contributed numerous
chapters and articles to journals,
encyclopedias and dictionaries of American
history.

It's like going to the dentist
Senior faces job-interview fears
By ELAINE JUSTICE
DTH Contributor
I pace up and down the hallway. My
footsteps sound too loud. 1 tiptoe. I lick
rhy lips for the urftpteenth time. A voice
from down the hall calls, "Miss Justice,"
and 1 walk rapidly towards it, to my
interview.
It's like going to the dentist.
Something about walking into a room,
shaking hands with a deceivingly benign
person and facing an onslaught of meet-the-press
questions scares me down to
my shoes.
But I must do it, and so must
thousands of graduating students at
UNC. In fact, most graduates probably
will have more job interviews in the next
10 years than at any other time in their
lives.
The interview is important. "It's the
most essential factor in being
employed," says Pat Carpenter, a
counselor at UNC Career Planning and
Placement Center. I visited the center
before my interview and got some
advice which I hope I'll remember.
I know she's right, but to me
interviews are like obstinate animals.
They never seem to do quite what I want
them to do.
First, the clothes. Do I pull out all the
stops and hit 'em with the three-piece
houndstooth? Too obvious? Maybe the
best clothes are those which don't
intrude too much. (Once I went
overboard on the conservative theme
and wore so much gray I faded into the
walls.) After trying on at least 43
different outfits, I settle for the one with
which I began.
The next problem is when to arrive.
The answer is, obviously, right on the
dot. But whose dot, yours or the

company's? 1 detest being early,
appearing eager-beaver, but 1 detest
being late even more. So I park the car,
go to the ladies' room, but a cup of
coffee. By the time I do that, 1 may feel a
little more at ease.
Greetings are the essence of first
impressions. Everyone tells me it's all in
the handshake. Be firm or they'll think
you're a pushover. But what about the
interviewer with a dead-fish palm?
I keep my wits about me. Maybe I'll
find out something about the company.
"An interview should be a dialogue,"
Carpenter says. "You should be able to
find out as much about the employer as
he does about you." I try to keep that in
mind. During the interview I ask about
the people I'd be working with.
I don't ask immediately about salary.
It makes me feel mercenary. Besides, if I
price myself too low I may reveal lack of
knowledge about the job; go too high,
and the employer may look elsewhere.
As the interview progresses, I try to
act natural with the emphasis on act. If I
am natural, I tend to cross my legs,
slump, squint or fidget. I usually sit, legs
uncrossed, hands at rest, a peaceful
smile on my face. Just in case the
interviewer thinks I'm dozing, I try to
keep a spark of enthusiasm in my eyes.
But before I settle into a comfortable
position, the interviewer, Mr. B, says,
"Tell me about yourself." My heart
jumps as I launch into an impromptu
speech.
I wonder why I put myself through
this.
Yet I know interviews provide a
chance to sell myself and my abilities, to
tell employers what I can do for their
organizations.
"That's the biggest problem students
have," says Carpenter of self-

evaluation. . "They haven't thought
about themselves."
During the interview 1 hear myself
saying, "I want to be an editor." I try to
look the interviewer in the eye and as I
say it to let him know I'm sincere.
Mr. B. laughs. "Isn't that a rather
lofty goal?" he asks, looking over his
glasses at me. I look straight at him,
"Yes, but I believe in having lofty goals,"
I say, without a smile. Did I convince
him?
Mr. B. looks thoughtful for a second,
then launches a series of questions on
my experience and skills. I start thinking
he's really interested. I relax a little. I
even laugh a little at his witticisms.
Maybe we'd get along.
Suddenly Mr. B. closes his folder,
stands up and shakes my hand. The
interview is over. Will I be hired?
"I'd like to talk with you some more,
have you meet some oi the people you'd
be working with," Mr. B. says. "Of
course," I say, trying not to sound too
excited. We agree on a date, and 1 walk
out of the room confidently. I think I did
well, but I'm still glad I thought about
the interview before I went and planned
things I wanted to say.
"Interviewing takes practice,"
Carpenter says. That's why Career
Planning and Placement offers
workshops in interviewing, on-campus
interviews with employers and tip sheets
on do's and don't's, she says. The center
also keeps an extensive library of how
to books on getting a job, writing
resumes, getting interviews.
But, she says, the most important way
to prepare the interview is to know
yourself. Ask yourself where you're
going and what your skills are. Think of
ways to talk about yourself, be yourself,
sell yourself.
