“The major companies are
hiring fewer students, but new
employers are entering the
field of recruiting university
students." said Anne Sea well,
director of the Career Planning
and Placement Service here at
the University.
New or expanding industries
in the Georgia area find it
necessary to actively recruit
students for opening positions
in their companies, and many
of these industries are coming
to the University. Seawell
said. She added that she had
no figures as to the number of
new companies.
Last year nearlv 550 prospec
tive employers visited the cam
pus to interview students for
positions in their companies,
Seawell said. These recruiters
not only come from the Geor
gia area but surrounding areas
as well, she said
Seawell called fall and win
ter quarters “the recruiting
season This is the time of year
when the majority of ..student
hiring is done." Seawell said.
To enhance a student's chan
ces of employment with a
desirable company, the Career
Placement Office has estab
lished several student oriented
departments. Tom Lauderdale,
coordinator of student employ
ment said Cooperative Educa
tion is a office of Career
Placement which provides a
student with practical exper
ience. he said.
Co-op education is a service
which "tries to match a stu
dent with a career." according
to Lauderdale.
The student alternates be
tween one quarter of college
and one quarter of full-time
work These jobs are not in the
Athens area but located mainly
around the city of Atlanta,
according to Lauderdale
The jobs help the prospective
graduate to "get familiar with
the world of work." Lauder
dale said. Some of the compa
nies involved in the co-op
program are the Internal Rev
enue Service (IRS), the US.
Treasury Department. South
ern Services, and Southern
M.
Part-time employment in a
student’s field is also available
through the placement office,
he said. Lauderdale cited the
DuPont company as one area
industry which has hired large
numbers of University stu
dents One clear advantage of
the DuPont student program is
the relatively high hourly sal
ary. he said. The students start
at $3.49 an hour and are then
eligible for raises, according to
Lauderdale.
When asked if the salaries
tended to be a bit high and
might spoil students when look
ing for future employment.
Lauderdale replied. "I don't
think that these are especially
high salaries. Athens throws
people off. the salaries are so

low here that students come to
expect this."
Lauderdale pointed out the
supply and demand in Athens
is the cause of low wages. He
added that employers “get
what they pay for.”
The DuPont program was so
successful last year that offi
cials plan to enlarge it to
include over 250 students this
year. Lauderdale said
Some students find them
selves in the position of desir
ing careers outside of Georgia
and the Southeast. Stuart Mc-
Garrety. advisor for the busi
ness industry students, said
some students have "no idea of
where to start.”
He said the career place
ment office has lists of key
contacts in major cities across
the United States to contact.
For instance, a person interes
ted in accounting might be
given the name of a bank
official in the particular area
of the country to get in touch
with.

CIA tries to use
'undercover kitty'
(ZNS) - Animal lovers, take
care - your favorite household
pet could be moonlighting as
an undercover agent for the
Central Intelligence Agency
(CIA)
Victor Marchetti, former CIA
executive assistant and 14 year
veteran with the agency, told
an Anaheim conference spon
sored by the Church of Scien
tology that the agency once
wired a live pussy cat for
sound in a bizarre attempt to
use the pet for eavesdropping
purposes
According to Marchetti, the
cat was intended to be placed
in an area where potential
enemy agents might be discus
sing covert plots against the
American government
However. Marchetti said that
problems began to crop up
when the wired cat developed
hunger pangs, and often wan
dered away from the targeted
discussions searching for food.
To counter-act this, new wires
were added to the feline - one
to detect the cat’s hunger, and
another to override the raven
ous feelings.
Rut hunger wasn’t the only
animal instinct bugging the
electronic kitty, Marchetti said.
As it turned out. the tuned-in
tabby was a *'he cat who like
she cats,” and he tended to
wander away whenever the
urge for romantic action hit
him
Again. Marchetti stated, two
additional wires were added to
the puss, this time one to sense
sexual excitement and a se
cond to submerge it.
After the exhaustive testing,
Marchetti reported, the elec
tronic feline was finally ready
lor its first assignment, and
was turned loose on the street
and followed by a CIA support
truck loaded with electronic
monitoring gear.
Luck, howovor. had run out
for the fated feline Before any
conversations could be picked
up. Marchetti said, "the poor
thing got run over by a taxi
cab."
