Panel says jobs available in liberal arts By STEVE FERGUSON Assistant University Editor A liberal arts degree is valued by employers and is an ex cellent path to starting a career, according to a panel discus sion sponsored Thursday by the Association of American University Students. The AAUS is a nationwide network of universities which allows students to exchange ideas on problem solving and project innovation. UNC is hosting this year's conference, which will run through April 1 . Student Body President Paul Parker mediated the panel discussion, which included four representatives of the UNC administration, all liberal arts graduates. Parker is the AAUS national vice president. "Yes, you can find a job with a B.A. in political science," said .Dorothy Bernholz, a general college advisor and director of Student Legal Services. "I constantly find myself looking back to my liberal arts education." Bernholz said she uses her liberal arts background more than her law degree, although she is an attorney. "Several of your most important (job) skills are skills you will get out of your liberal arts major," said Stephen Bird sail, associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Media have given the impression that liberal arts graduates aren't getting many job opportunities, said Sherry Stuckey, assistant director for Outreach at the Student Development and Counseling Center. Employees are looking for basic leadership and communication skills, not necessarily for a degree in their specific field, she said. "My liberal arts education, for me, was very useful," said Donald Boulton, vice chancellor for student affairs. A suc cessful college career requires "a willingness to use some shoe leather," Boulton said. He advised students to supple ment college time with practical experiences. "(A GPA) is a product of education, not the main goal," Boulton said. "I will say that a liberal arts degree needs a gimmick," Bernholz said, citing back-up experience as a valuable addi tion to time spent in college. "Internships are very impor tant." Too often, placement offices are unfair to liberal arts students in getting interviews, Bernholz said. "If I were you, I would go back and raise hell with those placement offices that are only letting business majors interview with businesses," she told the AAUS meeting. Bernholz advised students not to expect settling down to a one-career life. "In today's world, that's just not true, she said. "There are very broad jumps you may make throughout your life. Even if you're a business major, I think looking at four or five different options is important." "Career planning doesn't stop it happens all your life," Stuckey said. v The AAUS received a Mailgram from President Reagan yesterday, commending them for their "efforts to expand the growth of individuals through participation in student government, athletics and community projects." "You have my very best wishes," Reagan's letter read, "as you continue this work of vital significance to higher educa tion and the nation." ' Friday, March 30, 1984The Daily Tar Heel3 Forensics Union prepares for national competitions By CINDY DUNLEVY Features Editor UNC Forensic Union members are headed for national competitions across the United States. Members of the In dividual Events squad will be traveling to Manhattan, Kan. in April and the Debate Team will vie for first place in Knoxville, Tenn. this weekend. Debate Team member Jeremy Ofseyer said UNC is unique in having both teams compete nationally. Most schools are usually strong in one or the other teams, but not both, he said. The 1984 topic for the Debate Team is the strengthening of hazardous waste , control. The topic is quite broad, member Michael. Egues said. Members can tie in subset categories, like the Love Canal issue, to strengthen their position.. Sammy Hill, captain of the Individual Events team, is talking on the theory of relativity, explained in layman's terms in 10 minutes. His speech is good because is it is infor mative and entertaining, member Joanne Gilbert said. I arrhnrn alriprmpn nrnhihit enmp ctrppf hmtatinn said some srhes couw be boring, but By JIM HOFFMAN Staff Writer It is unlawful to sell goods on the street to people in motor vehicles on certain roads in Carrboro, according to an or dinance passed by the Carrboro Board of Alderman Tuesday night. Alderman Zona Norwood proposed the ordinance which prohibits the saje of goods on Main Street, the downtown sec tor of Greensboro Street, Weaver Street, Rosemary Street and junctions along Highway 54 bypass. Those who do not abide by the ordinance will be fined $5. Norwood said she felt certain that the ordinance would help keep traffic, flow ing on these streets, and that it would pre vent accidents by helping to keep motorists from stopping suddenly. Alderman John Boone said that he was concerned about how the ordinance would effect the annual and semi-annual sales of civic organizations. The board decided to refer this issue to Town At torney Michael Brough, who was not pre sent at the meeting. In other business, the board decided to table discussion of reorganizing the town staff and deleting two positions after they were accused of unfair employment prac tices by several Carrboro residents. If the reorganization plan, which was proposed by Alderman James White, is accepted it will mean the deletion of the town's personnel director position and the position of administrative assistant. Edith Hubbard is presently . the town's personnel director and the only black that heads a major town department. Caroline Stuck occupies the other position. The Rev. B. Willis Wilson II, a local preacher, said he thought the action was inappropriate. "It seems awfully odd to me that you are thinking about removing the last black from the staff after our black mayor and our black town manager leave," he said. White said the plan was part of a conti nuing need to limit the town's budget. "There is nothing at all racially motivated in my action," he said. Both of the women were also given the opportunity to speak to the board. Lori Young, another team member, d some speeches could be boring, but Hill's is creative, informative and simple. Gilbert will perform a poem about Eva Braun in the poetry interpretation. She sings and goes through mood changes, Young said about Gilbert's interpreta tion. "The more believable the moods, the better. "If the judge can forget the classroom and get wrapped into the poetry or literature, if that occurs and he (the speaker) finishes and he (the speaker) finishes and he (the judge) has had that I - 1 II I IIMIllll li II llllllllllll lllllll I llilf I III!

Planning requires writing, rewriting and research. Individual Events members rehearse to find the best way to project the image he needs, Young said. In 1982 the Individual Events team won a National Championship. And this year it is quite possible they will do well,. Young said. "We would like to do more but we have to watch our budget," she "Right now I am trying to pull money from anywhere for us to go," she said. UNC is gaining recognition among Ivy League schools. They are a competing team, even though it is at a different level from sports. "Whether you are revealing literature or your own ideas through public speak ing, you are enhancing your com municative skills and having fun," Gilbert said. Board to consider bus fare hike By KAREN YOUNGBLOOD Staff Writer Chapel Hill Town Manager David R. Taylor has proposed a bus fare in crease of 10 cents during off-peak hours for Chapel Hill transit system during the 1985 fiscal year, raising the current rates from 40 to 50 cents. Under this proposal, student .rates would increase from 20 to 25 cents. Currently, bus rides are 50 cents only during the peak hours, 7-9:30 a.m. and 3:30-6 p.m. Chapel Hill Transporation Director Robert Godding said the rate increase was still an unofficial proposal became th tnwn manager's budget would not be released until April. Godding's assistant, Alan Tobias, said that if such an increase was passed, the additional revenue would help pay for the oreration of the bus system. Godding emphasized that the town board would not make any changes until it had thoroughly reviewed the budget and held public hearings on the issue, which are scheduled for early May. He added that a decision would" be reached sometime in late May or early June. If approved, the rate in crease would go into effect July 1, when the new fiscal year begins. At this time there are no peak hour increases proposed. Symposium Dr. Ellis Cowling, James Tripp and Elizabeth Barrat-Brown will discuss the topic of "Acid Rain: Scientific, Legal and Political Perspectives" to day at 2 p.m. in Manning Hall.
