Long year ahead
for job hunters
(continued from page 1)
Schedules of these seminars
can be obtained in the Career
Placement Office.
In order to land a job in
this market Peterson said
getting ready is half of the
battle.
"You need to be prepared
and to put in a lot of time
searching," She recommends
that students coordinate their
summer jobs so that they are
somewhat related to their
major and urges students to
take internships in their senior
year if possible.
Peterson insisted that the
biggest mistake students make
in their search for employment
is not understanding the job
market.
"Seniors are lacking a sense
of direction in what they want
to do," she said. She
emphasized the importance of
job satisfaction and finding a
good match between the
company and the employee.
Some students seem to be
worried about the job market
while others are more
concerned with personal
satisfaction.
"I'll start looking at the end
of September for something in
Personnel or Public Relations
and I am very worried" said
Melissa Zdunski, a seventh
semester communications
major. Stephanie Jordan-
Hartwell, a seventh semester
engineering and physics major,
is planning to go to graduate
school so she can "work on
my own projects and not
someone elses."
Tuition goes up again
(continued from page 1)
The computer fee and other
surcharges were not changed
from last year. However, the
increase raised tuition to
$2,166--compared to $1,989
one year ago. Non-resident
undergraduate student's tuition
was hiked from $4,187 in
1990 to $4,846 this fall.
Graduate students were
charged $2,423 this fall, as
compared to $2,225 last year.
Non-resident graduate students
felt the raise from $4,445 in
1990 to $4,846 this fall.
The increase in funds from
this hike will be used for
employees social security,
insurance and retirement
benefits, as well as various

"I don't think a

Currently there are no plans
for another hike, though
students are braced for more
increases next semester.

Most students, like James
Evans, an 1I th semester

this yearly ritual. "I've seen

I've been here," he said, "and I
don't believe this will be the
