38th Annual Session
Senate to select representatives for NCSL
BY NANCY DAVIS
Staff Writer
Beginning Tuesday, Oct. 1, applications will be accepted from students
interested in becoming delegates to the North Carolina Student Legislature
(NCSL).
This year will mark the thirty-eighth annual session of the NCSL. one of the
earliest student lawmaking bodies of its type in the country. To date, the NCSL is
the oldest continuous assembly of its type in existence.
Every college and university in North Carolina is entitled to become a charter
member of the NCSL. and each member school is responsible for selecting its
delegates in any way it chooses.
Each school is allowed two senators and two alternate senators.
Representatives and alternate representatives are apportioned according to the
current student body enrollment. The schools are also allowed to appoint
numerous staff assistants, research assistants and secretaries.
UNC-G will send 38 delegates to the convention, which will be held March
19-23. at the Crabtree Sheraton in Raleigh. According to Cliff Mitchell, the
Chairman of the 1974-75 delegation, any student who is interested is encouraged
to apply. The Student Senate will select delegates on Oct. 8.
The NCSL was formed in 1935. under the sponsorship of the North Carolina
State college forensic teams.
Participants in the NCSL have written and supported legislation, and
approximatley forty per cent of the legislation passed by the legislature has been
enacted into law by the General Assembly.
Cynthia Broom, a delegate to last year's convention, says the NCSL "is one of
the few ways college students can do something to change the government, and
one of the few ways students can work together on problems of common
interest."
In each of the past legislatures, delegates to the NCSL have taken stands on
controversial issues, according to Cathy Krinick, Vice President of the Student
Government Association, and the chairman of last year's delegation.
In 1937. the student legislature rejected a resolution urging President
Roosevelt to seek a third term by a vote of 23-24. This move was especially
significant. Ms. Krinick stated, because it was passed only one year after his
election to a second term
The delegates to the NCSL also passed a resolution to abolish the House
Un-American Activities Committee in 1938. That particular group declared that a
committee investigating un-American activities was "detrimental to our
democratic government."
A plan was introduced in 1945 by a University of North Carolina student to
invite Negro colleges to attend the NCSL. His plan was adopted, and resulted in
severe criticism. Their decision stood, but the next year's session was marked by
the absense of many college representatives, and in 1947, the legislature was
cancelled for the first and only time since its inception, the race issue being the
primary reason.
At the present time there are 33 colleges and universities that are chartered
members of the NCSL. The delegations from each school sponsors two bills
apiece, and are able to sponsor an unlimited number of resolutions.
Kevin Kilmartin, who also attended last year's convention, said, "It is a good
learning experience. You saw how legislation was passed, and you got to do
lobbying and debating."
Cliff Mitchell added that perhaps the most important feature is that delegates
are able to see first hand the internal workings of a legislature.

Falderal — that now archaic word
has three definitions and several
different spellings. It means a piece of
finery, a bit of nonsense, and the 1974
UNC-G Founder's Day celebration,
Oct. 4-6. The eighty-second Founder's
Day itself will be Saturday, Oct. 5.
The activities of the weekend will
be geared to the students and the
younger alumni according to Barbara
Parrish, director of Alumni Affairs.
The weekend will officially begin
Friday night with the UC/LS
performance by Carlos Montoya. the
guitarist. Immediately after the
concert, the first pep rally in the
history of UNC-G will be held in the
Quad, in honor of the UNC-G soccer
team who will play downtown rival
Greensboro College on Saturday.
The event is officially called a
"spirit rally," which is calculated to
avoid the connotation of the trite high
school pep rallies and to emphasize the
fact that beer, pizza, and coke will be
served.
The rally will be led by the
UNC-G cheerleaders and a
yet undersized pep band,
Saturday and Sunday activities are
in two catagories. those for alumni
only and those for alumni and
students.

departmental open house by talking
about the existing academic program,

research, give mini-lectures, or deliver
make-believe valedictories.
The general activities are the
traditional Founder's Day picnic in the
Quad with fun and games and

politician, will be the speaker.

Ballroom will be arranged into a 'Giant
of a coffee house.'

representative employer and a recent
graduate of UNC-G.
John Phillips of Proctor and
Gamble's Greenville Operation is the
recruiting coordinator and has the
experience of conducting on campus
interviews for the company which he
shared with the large crowd in Cone
Ballroom.
Evelyn Blumenthal graduated in
May, 1974 with a B.A. in French from
UNC-G. Through the services of the
Placement Office she got a job with
the Proctor and Gamble Company.
Kay Williams, Director of the
Placement Office emphasized the
importance to students of registering
with the office and of keeping in
touch regularly.
Ms. Williams said, "The Placement
Office does not place anyone." She
pointed out that students must make
the effort because the office only
provides opportunities for students
and employers to get together.
Phillips indicated that this year's
job market does not present a "rosy
picture." He did say that there will be
a continued effort to employ women
and minorities.
Those who are in greatest demand
are the ones with special skills,
according to Phillips. He holds an
engineering degree himself and has a
history of recruiting technically
trained people. However, Phillips
further believes that persons who are
able to obtain technical knowledge
while relating to human needs are
valuable in plant operations.
Ms. Blumenthal related her
experiences during the first weeks of
training when she was asked to absorb
technical information in connection
with her job of coordinating recruiting
programs of over 100 peopie.
Ms. Blumenthal said, "Students
would be crazy not to take advantage
of the Placement Office services."
Interviews are arranged by the
Placement Office and students are
asked to come by and* sign up for a
particular time during the day of the
John Phillips of Proctor & Gamble Co. discussing recruitment programs
interview, according to Ms. Williams.
She said that students must not miss a
scheduled interview.
Ms. Blumenthal from the point of
view of the student stated, "Be natural
and truthful." She believes that too
many people pretend during interviews
and then do not fit the job which they
may be offered She emphasized the
importance ot knowing what the
company does before going to an
interview.
Phillips cited enthusiasm as the
quality that set Ms. Blumenthal apart
and helped her to get an offer.
Both speakers pointed to knowing
oneself as important knowledge to
have before interviewing. Ms.
Blumenthal said that an applicant
should know what sacrifices she is
willing to make such as long hours,
seven day weeks, and travel.
Phillips often asks the interviewer
where she thinks she will be five of ten
years from that time. He does this to
try to determine what that applicant
wants out of life.
Phillips indicated that his
company for example, tends to choose
people who want to live in the plant's
area and grow inside the company. He
said that placements are made in the
factory from which the recruiter is
sent. There are very few assignments to
other branches of the company, he
stated.
The companies with many
positions open, with government
contracts, or which come to campus
