The Career Planning and Placement Center, on the 10th floor of Rudder Tower, pro vides personal counseling for graduating seniors and oppor tunities for interviews with re cruiters. Placement directors are avail able to answer any questions seniors may have about sear ching for jobs and preparing re sumes. The most valuable resource of the Placement Center is re cruiting, Assistant Director Judy Vulliet said. Last semester, more than 780 companies conducted more than 20,000 personal interviews. I WELL, JACKIE NOW OFFICIAL! JpOSITlOW OF T, SECTOR AWC Vulliet said the center ex pects a smaller group of 700 re cruiters for the spring semester. To qualify for interviews, stu dents should be within three semesters of graduation, includ ing summer sessions. They must also complete a resume registra tion packet filed with the center. Eligible students must then have the graduation date and major requested by the recrui ter, Vulliet said. The requests of the recruiters and their interview dates on campus are filed in pink sheets that are available to students at the center. If students meet the qualifica tions on a pink sheet, they may sign up for an interview, 14 days before that interview, at 6 p.m. on the second floor of Rudder Tower. Students can sign an overflow sheet if the recruiters list is full. This sheet is consulted when someone cancels an interview on the recruiter’s list. Vulliet said students should come early for sign-ups and should bring a copy of their re sume. Participation in the interviews is worthwhile, she said, espse- cially since recruiters are pleased with Texas A&M stu dents. “They like Aggies, and they keep coming back,” she said. Placement Center orienta tions, to acquaint seniors with the services of the center and the job search process, are sche duled weekdays through Feb. 3 at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. in 401 Rudder.

School water heater explodes; blast kills 5, injures others United Press International SPENCER — A large water heater that apparently had been re-lit just hours earlier blew apart Tuesday afternoon and destroyed an elementary school cafeteria, killing five students and a teacher.

Investigators blamed a press ure buildup in the kitchen’s large water heater, and Oklaho ma City School Superintendent Tom Payzant confirmed it had been worked on earlier Tuesday. “A call was made to mainte nance to check the heater be cause the flame had gone out,” Payzant said. He said the maintenance de partment responded to the call, but investigators still were trying to find out why the heater ex ploded. Overpressure in the water heater may have caused a steam explosion that blew' the heater 30 yards north of the kitchen. There was no fire associated with the explosion. The victims were identified as teacher Dinah Manroe, 34, and students Paul C. Motes, 7, Latasha M. Brown, 8, Marlow 1 . Wallace, 9, Gira M. Hitter, 10, and Kareem R. ManOra, 8. Of ficials said about 50 of the approximately 200 students who attend kindergarten through fourth-grade classes at the school were in the cafeteria at the time. Parents came to the school to take their children home, and officials had trouble keeping a head count, but by late Tuesday everyone had been accounted for. Kasey Bayless, who was buried with a number of other children under rubble, said it was like a dream. “There were L United Press COLORADO Btrict judge is )nvicted sex ofi ■ a second 1: Kit may curb h ■or.
