A&M exception to rule
Job offers expected to fall
by Eric Evan Lee
Battalion Reporter
Although job offers will be
fewer this year than in the past,
Texas A&M students seeking
jobs will not be harmed by the
decline, Judy Vulliet, an assis
tant director of the Texas A&M
Career Planning and Placement
Center, says.
Vulliet said many companies
have halted hiring until the eco
nomy improves. Companies
with a hiring freeze, she said,
have been asked not to interview
for jobs at Texas A&M unless
they have or plan to have jobs
available.
Last semester, Vulliet said,
some companies interviewed
students but did not have any
job openings.
With the economy down,
many companies are bypassing
interviewing at smaller colleges
and universities and going only
to the schools where they re
ceived the best applicants in the
past.
Vulliet said Texas A&M re
cruiting will not be affected
much by the cutbacks. Texas
A&M received about 25 percent
of all job offers reported in the
Southwest last semester.
The placement center pub
lishes a booklet containing
names and addresses of com
panies that interviewed students
the previous year.
The booklet, “Career Plan
ning and Placement Center
Annual Review,” also lists statis
tics and national averages of
salaries in each major.
Vulliet said engineering,
computer science and medical
majors will have the best chances
of getting jobs this year.
A report by the Coordinating
Board confirms part of what Vil-
liet said, stating that students in
computing science, data proces
sing and medicine will be in de
mand for the coming year.
However, the board’s report
stated that job openings in en
gineering, a major usually in de
mand, have diminished some
since the board’s 1981 study.
Fine arts, liberal arts and so
cial science graduates will,
according to the report, find the
market for jobs competitive.
Manpower Inc., a temporary
service firm that publishes quar
terly reports on the job market,
conducted a poll of almost
12,000 employers in 348 U.S.
cities.
They reported that the job
outlook is good for industrial,
construction, manufacturing
and service industries.
Computer camp covers basics
by Bill Conaway
Battalion Reporter
On Aug. 14, some Texas high
school students will arrive at
Texas A&M for a summer
camp.
They’re not coming here to
play but to work. They will be
learning about computers.
The camp, which is for stu
dents aged 12 to 16, is the first
computer camp for high school
students sponsored by the
Office of Continuing Educa
tion-Liberal Arts, Annie Ruth
Taylor, the office’s coordinator,
says.
Information about the com
puter camp was sent to public
schools throughout the state and
of the 50 openings offered by
the camp, 20 have been filled,
she said. The cost of the camp is
$350.
Students will be taught how
to write computer programs and
the basic computer program
ming languages.
The camp is a self-paced
workshop, Taylor said, so stu
dents can start at their own level.
The students will use the Ap
ple II Plus computers in the
Learning Resources Depart
ment of the Sterling C. Evans
Library. Faculty and staff from
the computing science and math
departments will be instructing
and supervising the students,
Taylor said.
The students will stay in the
dorms during the eight-day
camp.
