Gallagher, an economics major from Marion, and Rieger, an English major from High Point, said new senior class priorities were necessary for 1992-93. "When we decided to run, we thought that as senior class officers in a chang ing world we needed a new set of senior priorities," Gallagher said. "In the past, when you think of the senior class, you think of Commence ment, you think of social events, you think of the senior gift. All of those things are important, but what ... is more important are things like helping seniors find jobs withcareerplacement." Gallagher said the team planned to put a job placement bulletin board in an accessible location such as the Student Union. The present location on the sec- if " Art Gallagher and Yvette Rieger ond floor of Hanes Hall is inconvenient for many seniors, he said. The duo also plans to form a research task force to tell seniors how to get in touch with personnel directors of major firms in North Carolina and South Caro lina. Gallagher and Rieger also want to work with the General Alumni Asso ciation to expand the senior connec tionsdinner series by adding new cities. A summer senior newsletter is an other of the team's ideas.

Pender, a speech communication major from Concord, and Shipp, an education major from Denver, said they planned to set up a calling network to poll seniors about key issues and poli cies. "What we're talking about doing is polling the seniors once a month to see what we need to be doing or what we need to focus on," Pender said. "Even with representative marshals and Sebastian and I, we can't adequately represent everybody unless we just talk to them directly." Shipp said, "I think the calling net work ... will help us keep a better check on ourselves to make sure that we are maintaining the seven goals in our plat form." Pender said the team would try to expand the career fair if elected. "I just feel like (some) majors aren't addressed 2 at ft!-, g 1- -rl Brice Pender and Sebastian Shipp adequately, if at all, in career fairs." Pender and Shipp said they also wanted to expand the options booklet and seminars to make seniors aware of job opportunities. "We want to bring actual alums to campus, ... not only for networking opportunities, but just to get some per sonal insight into what the working world is all about," Pender said. "We just thought (alumni visits) would be a good complement from a human per spective instead of having to deal with See PENDER, page 5 Paty, Mitchell look at post-graduation Bob Paty and Elizabeth Mitchell say that as senior class president and vice president they want to give University seniors an advantage in the job market over students from other schools. Paty, an economics major from Bristol, Tenn., and Mitchell, a biology major from Nashville, Tenn., hope to provide unique opportunities for se niors. "We want to give them an advantage in whatever they want to do," Mitchell said. The candidates said they had talked to the development and special projects offices and the General Alumni Asso ciation when formulating theirplatform. "We've gone to talk to people who know what's going on with the senior class," Mitchell said. Paty said he and Mitchell planned to work with the GAA to expand the se nior connections dinner series to in clude more cities. Mitchell said, "We want to provide Carolina students with that first con- Bob Paty and Elizabeth Mitchell tact." Paty and Mitchell plan to assist the University's graduate school adviser during a time of recession-driven senior interest in graduate schools. This assis tance could include senior assistants to the adviser and support from the senior class for the implementation of an on line graduate school data base. "We've talked to seniors, and a lot of them said they wanted expanded gradu ate school advising programs," Paty said. See PATY, page 5 Philson, Pedigo won't make promises Caroline Philson and Christopher Pedigo have specific plans to help the senior class, but they say they don't want to make too many promises. Philson, an anthropology and social studies major from Charlotte, and Pedigo, a Russian studies major from Winston-Salem, said they did not want to be seen as traditional politicians. Wc re not going to make you a whole bunch of promises and then break them later," Philson said. "We're going to tell you from the start what we intend to do." Philson and Pedigo said they planned to set up a committee to monitor the General Assembly. Pedigo said, "I think the major issue right now is the education crunch and the budget crunch with the University. (We re) interested in starting some thing through committees to find out what's being passed through the legis lature that deals with the University and its budget." Philson said she thought the senior Christopher Pedigo and Caroline Philson class was equipped to implement a book loan program, because seniors already have taken most of the introductory courses underclassmen take. "Instead of selling your books back to the school privately, (we want to) have kind of a lending program," she said. "(It would be a program) where you've already taken the class and you want to keep the books, but you don't mind someone else using them." The candidates said they also want to plan a senior class gift that will help the See PHILSON, page 5 Campus Calendar FRIDAY I p.m. Juggling Club, flagpole in Polk Place. 5 p.m. Undergraduate Teaching Awards nomi nations arc due in any of (he nomination boxes. 6 p.m. Hillel celebrates Shabbat with services followed by an oneg at 210 W.
