Students talk about internships
By ANDY TRINC'IA
Staff W riler
Students who participate in intern
ships can gain valuable experience, earn
money, and have fun, said seven
panelists before about 35 students
Wednesday afternoon in Hanes Hall.
The informational meeting, spon
sored by University Career Planning
and Placement Services, featured
panelists currently attending UNC and
two alumni in a panel discussion of past
internships.
Mont Rogers, a senior economics and
English major from Andrews, interned
at Gov. Jim Hunt's press office.
1 found my internship on a sign in
Gardner Hall one day. You never know
where internship opportunities are. I
wrote press releases, which was great
experience. The English part of my
major helped me in the press office and
the econ helped me get a feel for public
policy," Rogers said.
Gail Conger, a senior business admin
istration major from Sheboygan, Wise,
served as an intern with Congressman
Thomas Petri (R-Wisc.) in Washington
last summer.
"I wrote letters, contacted constitu
ents, researched ... in m internship.
It was a seal action-packed position. I
still opened mail and stuffed envelopes
and other fun things like that." said
Conger. "You need to work hard (to
get an internship) and its not too late.
But now is the time to start."
The New Bern Chamber of Com
merce was the site of John Mitterling's
internship. "People are on a historical
kick right now," said Mitterling. a
junior speech communication major
from New Bern. "New Bern is being
visited by more people now and they
were in need of a new blood to come
in and help with travel and tourism."
Mitterling said he worked as an admi
nistrative assistant, a position for which
the city of New Bern had to allocate
funds since the internship was newly
created.
Larry Davis, a senior from Charlotte
majoring in business administration,
interned in the Carrboro Planning
Department last summer. " I he hrank
lin Street extension was something 1 got
my hands into, and 1 learned municipal
government inside out. If you're inter
ested in an administrative internship in
municipal government, you'd enjoy this.
Other cities have these types of intern
ships as well." he said.
An actuarial internship took Robin
Nesmith to the Aetna Insurance Corp.
in Hartford. Conn.
"My internship was good because it
helped me decide that being an actuary
was not the career I wanted. My major
is very narrow, and I'm glad I've taken
classes outside of my major. On a
resume, it makes you look like you've
got a broad base," said Nesmith. a
senior mathematical sciences and
actuarial major from Sunset Beach.
All the panelists agreed internships
are worthwhile but obtaining them is
a lot of hard work. All recommended
using IJCPPS and seeing a counselor
to discuss internships. UCPPS is
located on the second floor of Hanes
Hall.

Better than summer school: students who got jobs as interns say they learned a lot about career options
Human Rights Week starts Monday student not badly injured in accident
Bv CATHERINE KURY and his activities in the Civil Rights Movement. Rah Bicklev. J )
By CATHERINE KURY
Staff Writer
Next week has been designated by the Campus Y as Human
Rights Week in an effort to raise the consciouness of the
campus and community toward human dignity, rights and
freedom.
Sophomore Alec Hudnut, chairman of the Human Rights
Week committee, said he hoped the week's events would
educate students about human rights.
George Gambele, associate director of the Campus Y, said
they were not looking for long-term benefits because it
remained an educational activity. "As educators we. hope
that something is learned from this experience," he said.
Human Rights Week includes 30 events centered around
individual rights, political expression, minority rights and
poverty and hunger.
The keynote speaker is author James Baldwin who is
known for his works dealing with human rights in America
and his activities in the Civil Rights Movement. Rah Bickley,
public relations chairman for Human Rights Week, said
Baldwin was significant because he writes books about
America and he was active in the Civil Rights Movement.
Also, he has lived through several ears of social unrest.
"Not only is he an authority, he feels it," she said.
Hudnut said Baldwin represented someone who has made
human rights an issue.
Another speaker will be CP. Ellis, who was president
(Exalted Cyclops) of the Durham chapter of the Ku Klux
Klan when he was elected chairman of the Durham Human
Relations Council. His work with the organization and his
co-chairperson, a black woman, caused him to question his
personal values and ultimately leave the Klan. Ellis will be
telling his personal story which is the subject of a soon-to-be-released
film during Human Rights Week.
"CP. Ellis epitomizes the type of person who has been
on both sides of human rights," Hudnut said.
