Senate
Stews
Over
Budget
By TAMMY MCKINNON
Staff Writer
The Senate spent an agonizing
five hours on budget requests
Tuesday night, and approved eight
of the nine submitted. Steve
Pacquette, Chariperson of the
Appropriations Committee,
presented the 1980-81 budgets.
With one exception, each budget
was restricted from exceeding last
year's by 15^t.
The Emergency Medical
Association requested $7,136.00,
and was appropriated $5,788.00.
Student Government requested
$66,049.87; an appropriation of
S56.40S.00 was approved. The
International Relations Club
requested $6,060.00, and was
appropriated $2,060.00; in addition,
the club was given the option to
request travel expenses when
necessary. The Masqueraders
requested and received $3,310.00.
The Neo Black Society requested
$18,707.42, and was appropriated
$11,693.41. The Student
Orientation Committee requested
$4,364.90; an appropriation of
$4,314.90 was approved. NCSL
presented a budget of $7,482.52 and
received 7,287.52.
The Outing Club requested
$6,750.45, and received $4,644,63.
The amount received exceeds their
budget of last year by 191 *H, but
was approved despite the 15%
limitation because of the current
revival of the club. The club existed
nominally last year, and excess
funds are necessary for reactivation.
The Science Fiction Club
requested $5,345.00, and the
Appropriations Committee lowered
that amount to $3,960,00. The
Senate, because of general lack of
understanding, did not approve the
budget. Steve was asked to clarify
the budget and present it again next
week.
The Senate also approved an
appropriation of $5,000.00 to the
UNC-C Job Placement Center. The
Center is the only one in North
Carolina in a four-year institution
and is one of 270 nationwide,
making UNC-O "a front runner in
something new and inovative." Last
year the Center . placed

approximately 40% of students
registered and eligible, and S.G.'s
appropriation of $5,000.00, which
was matched with Federal Funds of
$15,000.00, was converted into
$200,000.00 in student earnings.
Diedre Smith made a report to the
Senate from SCAC. She discussed
plans for a Bowling Party to be held
on Oct. 25, from 12:00 until 3:00
am. All forty Brunswick lanes will
be reserved for UNC-G bowlers,
and all the beer students can drink
will be served until 2:00. The party,
which will cost approximately
$2,000.00, is tentative. Diedre also
proposed a concert in cooperation
with EUC of "Mickey Gilly. Joni
Lee, and the Urban Cowboy
Band." The idea of students
watching election returns together
was tossed around, as well as an
S.G. sponsored "all night movie
thing."
Patsy Pierce, Chairperson of the
Student Orientation Committee,
reported on the success of
Orientation 1980. Based on a
questionaire administered to 125
freshmen, most students enjoyed
orientation activities and felt that
the activities had helped them
adjust.
Vickie Bosch of the Committee
on Academic Concerns, reported
last week that the Committee's goals
for this year are to publish a course
guide by Fall 1981, to look into the
possibility of establishing a file in
the library containing the syllabus
of each professor, and to look into
summer staff hiring politics. Also,
President of the Senate, Mark
Newton, mentioned the possibility
of forming a committee to deal with
race relations on campus.
Because Randy Carlisle is on one
month's leave of absence. Rusty
Weadon is serving as
Parlimentarian and Diedre Smith is
temporary Chairperson of SCAC.
Beth Hayes was appointed to the
Classification of Organizations
Committee. Sara Gramley was
appointed to the Judicial
Committee, and Jim Wolffer to the
Appropriations Committee. Leon
Kirby, Darlene Burnette, John
Daley, Jackie Faw, Jeff Goodwin
and Roy Rogers joined the Elections
Board.
Nick Deitz mentioned the
upcoming Mock Election. The
Senate was once again reminded of
the yearbook deadline. Also,
students are urged to attend campus
appearances of Gene Johnston and
Richardson Preyer, N.C.
Congressional opponents.
Professor Co-Authors
Book on Environment
UNC-G News Bureau
GREENSBORO-Dr. Steven C.
Hayes, an assistant professor of
psychology at UNC-G has co-authored
a book on dealing with
environmental problems with
psychological methods.
Entitled "Environmental
Problems/Behavioral Solutions."
the 284-page book was published
tost month by Brooks/Cole
Publishing Company of Monterey,
Cal. It is the fifth in the firm's scries
of books dealing with concepts in
environment and behavior.
Written with Dr. John D. Cone, a
professor of psychology at West
Virginia University, the boot is
designed as a text and research
source for students and
psychologists.
"We argue that most of our
current environmental problems can
be thought of in terms of behavioral
problems." said Hayes. "The book
addresses the proposition that
behavioral methods should go hand
in hand with technology in working
out environmental problems."
Among the specific
environmental problems covered are
litter, environmental design, noise,
recycling, population, residential
energy and water consumption and
transportation.
The book reports a large body of
research that has been done on the
effects of behavior modification
when it's applied to environmental
problems, said Hayes. He noted
that favorable results were obtained
through this approach in several
problem areas.
The new book is Hayes first. A
psychology faculty member at
UNC-G since 1976, he holds the
B.A. degree from Loyola University
and the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees
from West Virginia University.
Robbins Delivers
Annual Mclver Lecture
By MARTHA HALL
Special to The Carolinian
Dr. Louise Robbins, an associate
professor of Anthropology at UNC-G,
delivered the annual Mclver
lecture in conjunction with
Founders* DAy in the Cone
Ballroom of Elliott University
Center Monday following a 6:00
p.m. dinner.
Dr. Robbins, introduced by
Chancellor William E. Moran,
spoke on the topic, "Dealing with
the Evolving University and Our
Role as Ancestors". Dr. Moran
commented that th^.a^ain purpose
of the progra..i was to
commemorate the heritage of a
"wonderful" university.
During the past three summers.
Dr. Robbins has done research with
world-renowned anthropologist Dr.
Mark Leakey in Tanzania, East
Africa. Together, they discovered a
fossilized path of hominid (man-like)
footprints about three and half
million years old. Following its
announcement at a Washington,
D.C. news conference, this
discovery received international
attention.
Before coming to UNC-G in
1974, Dr. Robbins taught in
Nebraska, Connecticut, and
Mississippi. Dr. Robbins has done
some writing on skeleton remains
and ancient footprints. Presently,
she is writing a book, hopefully to
be published this spring.
During her speech. Dr. Robbins
stated that UNC-G has evolved in
many ways, in such factors as size,
enrollment, and course offerings.
She explained that when UNC-G,
then known as the State Normal and
Industrial School, first opened on
October 5, 1892, it had only a few
buildings and was located in the
country. "Look where we're located
now," she commented.
Headed by its first president,
Charles Duncan Mclver, UNC-G
opened with an enrollment of 179
students. The total headcount this
semester was 10,390 students.
Not much variety in courses was
offered when UNC-G first opened.
For instance, no psychology or
computer science courses were
offered. Only one or two home
economics courses were taught.
Now, there is a building designated
just for home economics classes.
During her speech, Dr. Robbins
also discussed the great men who
made important contributions to
UNC-G, like Mclver, Joyner, and
Alderman, who believed in
education for both men and women.
"This university is unique
because it not only has great men,
but it also has great women," said
Dr. Robbins. She mentioned such
great women as Mrs. Kirk land, who
taught conduct and dress, and Mrs.
Elliott, who guided the large student
body and dealt with social activities.
Dr. Robbins also mentioned Miss
Mossman, who worked in the field
of sociology and was vice chancellor
involved with academic affairs.
Dr. Robbins additionally
complimented UNC-G on being
very cultural. She expressed her
feeling of belonging at UNC-G.
Dr. Robbins concluded her
speech by saying, "We are the living
ancestors of this socio-cultural
institution. What kind of ancestors
are we to be?"
As part of the Founders' Day
activities, the UNC-G Alumni
Association sponsored a leadership
development conference October 6-
7 for approximately 100 alumni
involved in university projects and
programs.
Speakers at this conference were
Dr. Richard Bardoph, emeritus
professor and former head of UNC-G's
Department of History; Dr.
Richard Harwood, director of
UNC-G's Career Planning and
Placement Center, and other
members of The Center's staff.
Other speakers were Dr.
Jacquelyn Gaebelein, an associate
professor of psychology at UNC-G,
and Patsy Parker, director of
recruiting for Wachovia Bank and
Trust Company's operations in
Greensboro. Chancellor Moran also
addressed this group.

Accounting Club Focuses
on Aspects of Interviewing
. . _ ._.... t should anticipate tne Typ
The UNC-G Accounting Club
held its second meeting of the year
on Monday with an impressive
showing of students. The
noteworthy meeting was of great
importance for both accounting and
business students as it focused in on
the aspects of interviewing with
prospective employers.
Speakers from Career Planning
and Placement, Burlingtion
Industries, and Pear, Marwick, and
Mitchell Co. (a "Big 8" Accounting
Firm) came to speak on the topic.
The representatives were Dick
Harwood from Career Planning and
Placement, Phillip Wilson from
Peat, Marwick and Mitchell Co.,
and Terry Martin from Burlington
Industries. The meeting was a panel
discussion/questions format which
provided a very effective program.
Mr. Harwood began the
discussion by explaining the
function of the Placement Center
located in Foust Building here on
campus. He said the starting point
for any career-oriented student is
with this organization. The Basic
steps of signing up for interviews,
preparing a resume, and acquiring
recommendations was the main
focus of his presentation. The club
president, David Smcdberf
commented after the meeting that
the Center was "very perceptive of
student needs and responsive to
those needs."
Next Ms. Wilson approached pre-interview
preparation, types of
interviewing techniques, and post-interview
procedures from the
public accounting firm perspective.
Several key points for any student to
consider before interviewing were
discussed, such as knowing your
individual strengths (ie, grades,
activities), knowing why you want
this company and researching the
interviewing company. During the
actual interview they said students

the Types of
questions such as career goals,
location desired, and mobility.
Post interview procedures, after
acceptance to further contact with
the company, include several
general steps. Among them are a
secondary interview, duration of 4-
6 hours, at which time the candidate
is re-evaluated. Following
evaluation an "offer stage" begins
in which students are offered a
position or a final rejection.
Following Wilson's talk was a
discussion by Mr. Martin from the
viewpoint of private industry,
stressing what is typically found in
the private sector concerning
interviews. Some cautions were
noted by Martin. "Students should
not judge the company or position
solely on campus recruiting," he
said. Attempt to recognize and
evaluate the style of the interviewer.
Martin stresses the importance of
the communication skills
exemplified by your resume and
your oral ability to communicate in
the success of your interview.
A brief informal question/answer
session began after the panel
discussion. Following the session,
refreshments were served and
students were able to discuss more
in depth with the guest speakers.
The primary objective of the
accounting club is to create aad
foster and interest in accounting.
