From Associated Press reports
The birthplace of aviation got
two more firsts in flight Monday
as American Airlines unveiled a
$120 million hub at Raleigh
Durham Airport and Piedmont
Airlines launched its Charlotte-to-London
service."
"It's a truly historic day for
North Carolina," Gov. Jim Martin
said during ceremonies at Raleigh
Durham Airport. "It's going to
benefit our entire state and usher
in a new era of economic growth
and job creation throughout
North Carolina.
"This is a major boost to our
local economy, but also a great
benefit to the expanded accessibil
ity of North Carolina by air
travel," Martin said. "It's a major
factor for attracting new economic
investments and additional corpo
rate headquarters to the state of
North Carolina."
American officials treated the
new terminal's first arrivals to
champagne, offered free food
throughout the terminal and had
a bluegrass band on hand for the
ribbon-cutting ceremony. While
the first two official arrivals were
two passengers on a Greenville-to-Raleigh
commuter flight, Ameri-

can focused the media attention
on a jet to Sarasota, Fla., the first
newly scheduled flight out of the
hub.
Dozens of reporters and televi
sion crews descended on bewil
dered passengers when the Sara
sota flight arrived from Newark, ,
N.J., for a stopover.
"This is the first time I've been
on television and I don't even
know why," said one woman as
she darted toward another gate.
After ceremonies including the
introduction of an all-North
Carolina crew, the 9:10 a.m.
departure was delayed until 9:24.
Two other 9:10 flights, apparently
waiting for the official "first,"
quickly followed.
Meanwhile, the start of Pied
mont's nonstop service from Char
lotte to London gave the first real
"international" flavor to
Charlotte-Douglas International
Airport. The mood was festive at
the airport Monday afternoon for
the first nonstop flight from North
Carolina to London's Gatwick
Airport.
After a ceremony featuring
speeches by Martin and other
political and business leaders, the
210 passengers slowly began
boarding the Boeing 767 for the
flight to Europe.
The plane was scheduled to take
off at 5:35 p.m., but it was delayed
about 30 minutes as passengers
and onlookers jammed the gate
area.
"I wish I could go with you, but
I have some things to do in Raleigh
the next few days," Martin said.
"We're just as proud as we can
be."

Rock, was taking the trip with his

jofo-seairdhi phone hotline
By KRISTA MATTHEWS
Staff Writer
A new type of aid to the unem
ployed began operating on cam
pus Monday in the form of
Career Planning and Placement
Service's computerized job-search
phone hotline.
The CPPS job hotline, located
in 21 1 Hanes Hall, links telephone
to computer to match students'
career interests and qualifications
to employers' requirements. The
hotline is available to seniors,
graduate students and alumni.
"We (CPPS) have pioneered the
development of the job hotline,"
said Marcia Harris, director of
"It's my wife's birthday, and our
anniversary," Davant said. "She
told me to come up with some
thing special. So when the
announcement came out that
Charlotte was getting the flight, I
had the reservations two hours
later."
Several passengers said they
were making the trip for business
reasons.
"Ill be there about two weeks,
following some leads and looking
for new contacts," said John

Protesters walked beside KKK members in
last Sunday's march on Franklin Street In
CPPS. "We are the first in the
country to have such a service."
Before they can use the hotline,
Harris said, students must first
register with CPPS, and informa
tion about them will be entered
into the computer.
By using a touch-tone phone,
a student can then dial 962-2777
(962-CPPS) to be linked with the
computer. The computer will
bring up all information about the
student that is entered into its file,
which will include social security
number, major, graduation date
and one or two areas of career
interest.

"This is a much easier flight than
going through (New York's)
Kennedy Airport," he said. "All
you can do there is wait three
hours and eat hot dogs."
One passenger, Heather McDa
niel, seemed a little surprised with
all the hoopla.
"I'm from Santa Barbara,
Calif., and I'm going to London
to meet a friend," she said. "I had

information on the student, it will
use synthesized speech to inform
the student about the available
jobs that fit the student's career
interests and qualifications.
The hotline is very simple to use,
Harris said. "You don't have to
know how to use a computer," she
said. "You only have to know how
to use a telephone."
Harris said the new system had
several advantages over the old
job-hunt system at CPPS. "An
added feature of the hotline is that
students and alumni dont have to

American Airlines officials
cultivated the link between the
RDU hub's opening and the first
flight of Orville and Wilbur
Wright at Kitty Hawk.
Robert Crandall, chairman and
president of American, said:

Hawk a long time ago, they sent
