Career Center helps students
explore future job opportuniti
By Stephanie Dube
The Battalion
The Career Center offers
many opportunities for students
to explore their career options
and plan their futures.
Dr. Leigh Turner, director of
the Career Center, said the
Center has many opportunities
for students.
Among these is JOBLINE, a
career resource network which
provides registered students in
formation on employers.
“This was started in January
1993, and we have had 3,500 jobs
placed on it since,” Turner said.
JOBLINE was initially de
vised for former students who
could not return to the campus
for job information. However,
the Center later decided current
students should also have access
to the database, Turner said.
Today, students can make re
quests for on-campus interviews
electronically. Students can then
view the database later and see if
they got the request, Turner said.
JOBLINE also includes infor
mation on summer jobs and in
ternships, she said.
To register at the Career
Center, a student must attend
a placement orientation or
watch a videotape.
Students must register with
the Center to take part in many
of the Center’s opportunities, in
cluding JOBLINE and on-cam
pus interviews, Turner said.
However, students do not have
to be registered with the Center
to talk with a career;
attend a workshop, Turners^
Many workshops are 1
fered this semester. U
these are workshops on iw
terviews, resumes, graduatJ
dent work experience, aii|
search techniques.
Turner said one of the:J
tunities registered stujJ
may take part in is thei
pus interview.
Registered students id
out their resumes on the I
Center’s Disk Resume. Tl

Geology, geophysics departments to combiii
By Constance Parten
The Battalion
Next year’s freshmen geology and geophysics
students will take part in a newly implemented
program geared to prepare students for the many
changes taking place in these fields.
Steps began last November to combine the
geology and geophysics departments into one
department.
The new department will benefit both geology
and geophysics students by expanding their
knowledge base, said Jim Mazzullo, associate pro
fessor of geology.
“The geology students will have more physics
and math than is required now,” Mazzullo said,
“and the geophysics students will have more
hands-on geology training.
“There are so few programs that are combined
like this one will be,” he said. “Our students will
have a much broader background. Basically,
they’ll be the best students in their field.”
The new degree program will combine the
student’s first two years of study, similar to
A&M’s business and engineering programs’
core curriculums.
The upper level courses will still be ge
ward the student’s particular field of study
Dr. Philip Rabinowitz, interim head of thew
bined department of geophysics and geosciens
said the degrees will remain the same, only the
quirements will change.
“Students will still receive a degree in either
ology or geophysics,” Rabinowitz said. '!:
names of the degrees won’t change, the stude:
will simply take different classes."
Texas A&M has been preeminent in producir;
students going into the petroleum field for mar;
years, particularly in Texas, but times hay
changed Rabinowitz said, and the new dept
plans must also change.
He said he hopes for a curriculum with m::
emphasis on environmental fields.
“We’ve been involved primarily in the pete
um field for many years,” Rabinowitz said, 'am
we still have to have a strong presence, butth
truth is the jobs just aren’t there anymore.
“We want to do what is best for the student
and prepare them for their futures," Rabinowit
said. “In order to do that, we have to prepar;
them to be good analytical thinkers. That is ol
main goal.”
