Judy Vulliet, assistant direc tor of placement, said there are several advantages to the serv ice. First, the majority of compa nies looking for people to hire and the majority of former stu dents looking for jobs are not local. The service acts as a go- between for these people. Second, the alumni service provides former students regis- terd with it priority for the jobs in the bulletin. Undergraduates and former students do not ap ply for the same jobs because there are not enough compa nies interviewing nor enough time for companies to interview both groups. However, the former stu dents are not informed of com panies which are coming to in terview undergraduates, only companies which have told the placement center that they want to be in the bulletin. Mary Gillespie, a chemical engineer who graduated in Au gust of 1983 and is registered with the service, still does not have a job and is not satisfied with the service. “They’re (the alumni service) doing the best they can with a lousy situation,” Gillespie said. “Former students who grad uated last year should be able to sign up to interview with the undergraduates because last year’s system was unfair. We had to line up in G. Rollie and run to sign up for interviews, which discriminated against small people and women.” Vulliet, on the other hand, feels that the service is a very productive one. Working like a cycle, good registrants attract prestigious companies, which hire, thus, attracting more reg istrants. However, she said, only about a third of the former stu dents registered with the center get jobs through it. By KARL PALLMEYER Reporter Joe Barton, candidate for the Republican nominee in the 6th .Congressional District primary, aid he and his opponents tgreed to support the party’s lominee in the general election, lespite any minor squabbles the andidates are now having. In a special press conference Vednesday, Barton said he met /ith Republican Party Ghair- tan George Strake and his op- onents Pat Friedricks, Bob Harris and Max Hoyt that morning in Austin. Barton said the purpose of the meeting was to get the candidates to put aside their personal differences. Barton said the candidates agree that the most important aspect of the election is to have a Republican retain Phil Gramm’s seat. “I am happy to report that the party leadership considers the recent disagreements to be of an internal nature and at an end,” Barton said. “We’re now hack discussing the issues.” Barton said some of his op ponents have questioned his honesty and integrity. He said these attacks are nothing more that “political mudslinging” and he can rebut all allegations against him and his reputation. “The fact that I’m the leading candidate in the race for the Re publican nominee is probably the reason for these accusa tions,” Barton said. “I have been campaigning in a positive fashion since day one and will continue to do so.” Barton was accused of mis leading voters by inaccurately stating that he was deputy to the Secretary of Energy. Barton said he was personally assigned to the Secretary of Energy, James B. Edwards, and in that sense, was Secretary Edwards’ deputy. Barton said his official title in the Department of En ergy was “White House Fellow” and never claimed to “Deputy Secretary.” Barton said he was not listed as a Presidential task force member because he did not serve on the task force. Barton said he volunteered his help to the Grace Commission while he was working for the Depart ment of Energy and was one of the 2,000 volunteers who served on, served with, assisted, helped, or participated with the Grace Commission. Barton, Friedricks, Harris and Hoyt will hold a public meeting tonight at 7:00 at the Brazos Center .
