‘Less than 50 people are pre-
tly in the program,” Schulze
l, “and close to 20 are still look-
for riders.”
lollenshead said, “The service
eeand you don’t even need a
to be in the carpool, just an
irest in carpooling. ”
indents and faculty can sign up
hand ink the program in the OCC, lo-
ed in Puryear Lounge across
n the YMCA Building,
s thathes itudents who previously regis-
geofU.Si ed for the carpool, need to fill
anew card in case of address
changes. The records need to be
updated, Hollenshead said, and
carpoolers should call or come by
the OCC to inform them of any
changes in address or phone num
bers.
“Basically, we’re just a referal
agency,” she said. “We supply
carpoolers with the information of
those interested, and the students
contact each other to work out the
scheduling.”
Even if a student has filled out a
card, this does not obligate them
to carpool, Hollenshead said. It’s
up to the student to use the infor
mation the OCC supplies.
OCC staff members provide
services for off-campus students,
ranging from general information
about off-campus living to getting
legal advice for tenant and land
lord problems.
A freshman contact program has
been organized by the OCC with
the goal of uniting off-campus
freshmen and to get them better
acquainted, Schultze said.
The OCC also provides coun
seling for roommates who are hav
ing problems living together, she
said, and help students find ways
to deal with the situation.
Advisers are available in
Puryear Lounge from 8 a.m. to 5
p.m., Monday through Friday.

Jobs to be topic
at career night
By TINA LINCH
Battalion Reporter
Liberal arts students will have opportunity to explore possible job
markets at the Second Annual Liberal Arts Career Night Monday.
Texas A&M’s Career Planning and Placement Center is sche
duled to present to the program at 7 p.m. in 501 Rudder Tower.
Students will learn about career planning and job opportunities
from liberal arts employers and Texas A&M liberal arts graduates.
Employers will present 10- to 15-minute discussions on what
they look for in applicants, preparation for the job market and
profession paths open to liberal arts graduates.
Scheduled speakers include Nancy Wilson, area personnel mana
ger for GTE, and Sylvia Stern of IBM. Donald Bonnar, Federal
Office of Personnel Management in Houston, will discuss govern
ment employment, including information on the Professional and
Administrative Career Examination for federal service positions.
Steve Rogers, lawyer with Gandy, Mauro and Caperton, will discuss
law-related careers and the needs of small businesses for liberal arts
employees.
Texas A&M liberal arts graduates will include personal experi
ences in job searching. Speakers are to include: Sam Henry, dire
ctor of operations at Texas A&M-Galveston and Julie Terrazas,
personnel management specialist with the National Weather Ser
vice in Fort Worth. They will explain the liberal arts cooperative
education program.
“Job opportunities for liberal arts graduates are limited,” said
Judy Vulliet, assistant director at the placement center. “It’s very
important for students to pursue the careers they want but not to
ignore the realities.
“If (they) start some serious planning now, (they) will give (them
selves) the opportunity to construct an appropriate academic frame
work, participate in cooperative education’s work experience and a
host of other opportunities.”
