2The Daily Tar HeelFriday, April 19, 1991 off on, Students more likely to find permanent positions By Laura-Leigh Gardner Staff Writer Students looking for summer jobs in Chapel Hill had better start hitting the pavement, said John Peterson, claims supervisor with the Orange County Employment Security Commission. "There are jobs available for stu dents, but they have to act quickly," Peterson said. Many of the "best jobs," such as internships with large compa nies, have already been filled, he said. It should not be too difficult for stu dents to find a summer job in the area, he said. Orange County's latest unem ployment rate, for the period ending in February, was only 2. 1 percent. State wide, North Carolina had an unemploy ment rate of 5.7 percent, and the nation wide unemployment rate was 6.5 per cent. But students are not included in unemployment rates, Peterson said. Many Chapel Hill businesses are now hiring, but they are interested in stu dents who can work for a longer period than the summer. For example, Dillard's department store in University Mall does not hire temporary help. "We have quite a few students working for us, but in perma- nent positions," said Vicki Maynor, personnel representative for Dillard's. UNC plans for summer construction By Warren Hynes Staff Writer When students put down their pens and pencils this summer, the University will be picking up drills and hammers. , Construction of the Student Recre ation Center, the ground-breaking for an environmental studies building and significant refurbishing of Ehringhaus Residence Hall headline the University's summer construction and maintenance projects.

The Intimate Bookstore in Eastgate Shopping Center also hires only perma nent staff. "We don't hire for the sum mer," said Laura Kennedy, a sales clerk at the bookstore. "Summer is our slow season. We tend to hire permanent help." But the store is' moving to a bigger location in a shopping center at the end of June, and more employees will be needed then, she said. Area restaurants have positions avail able, but also on a permanent basis. Applebee's Restaurant, located at 1 506 E. Franklin St., is losing 1 0 people out of a staff of 40, said Ben Springer, manager of the restaurant. "But just for summer, we're not hiring," he said. If students are able to work through the next school year, they will be consid ered for available positions, he said. There will be a few available posi tions at Spanky 's Restaurant, located at 101 E. Franklin St., said manager Paul Killian. "This year is a strange year in that most of our winter people are stay ing," he said. "We will only hire a couple of people for summer help." Paul Love, assistant manager at Bruegger's Bagel Bakery, said there was usually a big turnover of employ Studies Division, said John O'Neil, act ing director of the division and adjunct professor of medicine at UNC. "This is a state-of-the-art research facility," O'Neil said. "It's one of a kind in the world. I hope it will be an interna tional center for scientific information exchange." EPA and UNC researchers at the new building will continue 20 years of re search on the health effects of common air pollutants. They will try to deter mine national ambient air quality stan dards to protect human health from such air pollutants as ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and carbon dioxide, O'Neil said. The six-story building will be lo cated in the health affairs area of South Campus, on Mason Farm Road across from the Taylor Building. The ground breaking is tentatively set for June 16. Construction is projected to be finished by December 1993, O'Neil said. The University will construct the building but will lease it to the EPA. The building will include about 25 EPA human studies division employees, 30 to 35 contract employees and 50 to 60 members of the UNC faculty, staff and student body, O'Neil said.

Manpower Tem porary Services in Durham is taking applications from students for the sum mer. Barbara McPeak, manager of Man power Temporary Services, said, "We have had some students call us, and we will be hiring some students, but I'm not sure how many." There has been a slight decrease in the need for temporary workers, McPeak said. "It's going to be harder (to find a temporary job) than it was last year," she said. Some area grocery stores are hiring students for the summer. Jacqui Miller, front-end manager at Harris Teeter Su permarket in University Mall, said, "We are hiring for the summer. We are tak ing applications now." But Ricky Neal, manager of Sav-A-Center located at 750 Airport Road, said his store was not hiring. "We don't have any positions avail able for the summer," he said.

The budget cuts have caused some UNC departments to cut down on their part-time summer positions, University officials said Wednesday. Greg Morton, assistant manager of Student Stores, said open student posi tions this summer probably would be in the textbook department. Present full time employees will staff the account ing department and the campus snack bars. "Because of the budget cuts, we're trying to move permanent people around," Morton said. Student employees generally earn $4.50 to $4.75 an hour, he said. A deci sion on the stores' ability to hire stu dents will be made sometime next week. Larry Alford, associate University librarian for planning and finance, said the budget cuts already had caused a 1 2 percent reduction in the number of stu Lab Theatre takes feminist stand By Mondy Lamb Arts Coordinator "The Conduct of Life" makes no pretense about its content. The play contains explicit scenes of sexual abuse and trauma. But. director Tim Cole hopes that depicting the graphic vio lence will make the play's message clear. This Lab Theatre-production, written by Maria Irene Fornes, pre sents a hard look at how a patriarchal society destroys both men and women by perpetuating the stereotypes that both are forced into. Set in EI Salvador, the play re volves around the relationship of Leticia and Orlando, a married Ameri can couple living in a Latino culture. Orlando, who is obsessed with con trol, kidnaps a woman and keeps her in his basement, repeatedly raping her. Leticia and the housekeeper, Olym pia, are forced to deal with the situa tion, with Orlando and with the soci ety that made all of this possible. Leticia, played by Deborah Morcott, is a yielding housewife who has been conditioned by the society in which she lives. "At first she tries to make the situation work, but in the end she has no choice but to fight back on his terms," Morcott said. "How she re solves the situation is surprising ... but you can only push people so far." Heather Primm plays the house keeper, Olympia, whom the society FRIDAY Noon: "Structural Equation Models of the Physi cal Development and Sexual Behavior Correlates of Physical and Sexual Attractiveness" will be explored by Joel Wade.IRSS, today in 02 Manning until 1 p.m. The Lesbian Lunch w ill be today and every Friday with THE PRINCETON REVIEW (919)987-7209 Free Sneak Preview of the new LSAT Tubs., April 23, 7:30-9:00 pm Duke Law School, Room 104 Tie Prlactlot Review It not tlillleled milk the etvullonil Titling SenIce er Princeton University Campus Calendar HERE Q J r d dents the library employs. The reduction will continue, and sum mer library hours will be cut, he said. Each library department decides how many students it can afford to hire de pending on its budget, he said. "How many they hire depends en tirely on how many students are coming back (in the fall)," Alford said. The library must reserve a certain number of positions and money to pay people in those positions for the fall. In the past, the library has employed 200 to 250 students during the summer. Alford said he was not sure how many of these positions were "new hires"; nor could he guarantee those numbers for this summer. Students earn $4.25 an hour in the library, with a 15-cent per hour merit raise every two semesters. Applications can be picked up in the personnel office on the second floor of Davis Library, but students must apply to individual departments, Alford said. Richard Baddour, senior associate director of athletics, said students also had the opportunity to make minimum has forced into her position in life. Primm says that Olympia is a victim; as a woman of the lower class, she is trapped in a subjugated position. "We are all held prisoner that is what this play is all about," Primm said. "Everyone is a prisoner to this patriarchal society." Nina, played by Jennifer Stander, is the woman Orlando kidnaps. Stander said that, as the object of physical abuse in this play, her character made the same statement in her impotent position as many strong female characters. Nina shows what is really wrong with this society. "The worse I suffer, the clearer it is," Stander said. "Leticia's is adiffer ent kind of abuse; mine is more obvi ous. I am being abused mentally and physically." Allen Simpson, as Orlando, stresses that men are exploited by this society as well as women. "He is a victim of soci ety; he has listened too much to the rules society has set," Simpson said. "He has sold out and bought into the idea that some humans are superior to others." Director Cole said, "Orlando is the ultimate embodiment of what patriar chy demands of men." "The play clearly demonstrates how a male-dominated society imposes roles and makes decisions for the individuals who are subject to it," he said. Cole said he chose the play because every now and then people need to be k. reminded that they are in a society which limits their choices. in the Union.

"The Conduct of Life" will be pre sented in a set with "Beauty Secrets," adapted and directed by Laura Weeldreyer. Taken from the book "Woman Hating" by Andrea Dworkin, the play is the product of Weeldreyer' s transformation of characters from the book into representative characters who present their story to the audi ence. Jenn Davis, who plays a feminist still adhering to traditional standards of beauty, said the play was about the how the emphasis placed on appear ance affects women. In the play, five women discuss their personal concerns about the im portance society places on physical appearance. Each of the woman voices different concerns, including issues of weight, having a mastectomy and be ing handicapped. "We are not putting on masks and posing, but coming out and stripping the characters down to a bare reality," said Davis. Wendi Black, who plays a lesbian, said, "We are opening ourselves and our characters to the audience there is no fourth wall. When we finish, the audience should wonder whether it is the character speaking or the actor."
