Tough.
The center also offers
hour-long placement orienta
tion seminars daily to acquaint
students with placement cen
ter activities.
Judy Vuillet, assistant dire
ctor of the center, strongly
urges all students close to gra
duation to attend the semi
nars to familiarize themselves
with dates, times and dead
lines for fall semester inter
views.
Students who want good
jobs when they graduate,
Vuillet said, have to start
sooner and interview harder
than in past years. She said
traditionally easy-to-enter
careers like chemical en
gineering and mechanical en
gineering are now more com
petitive and harder to break
into.
Seniors looking for em
ployment should, “keep their
options open, study up on
companies and look into com
panies other than just the
brand-name companies for
success in finding ajob,” Vuil
let said.
The center also has a lib
rary with permanent and
take-home information about
employers for students and
alumni to familiarize them
selves with a prospective em
ployer prior to an employ
ment contact.
Students interested in in
terviewing are required to re

firm that prods customers to “Be
Peppers” wants the flashing
streetside sign and vintage clock
at its corporate headquarters to
be made landmarks, thereby
saving them from destruction.
“The signs help identify the
national headquarters of the Dr
Pepper Co.,” said Assistant City
Manager Victor Suhm, who re
quested officials honor the com
pany’s request to be exempt
from a sign ordinance.
The ordinance says bill
board-sized signs near major in
tersections must be removed in
10 years. That grace period is up
next year.
But if Dallas declares as land
marks the rooftop clock, erected
in 1947 and emblazoned with
the former company motto “10,
2 and 4,” and a time-
temperature sign, they could re-
Both fixtures are technically
eligible to be declared land
marks, officials said, and the
proposal has been endorsed by
the City Plan Commission and
Landmark Committee.
A decision is expected today.
