ft forger of placement, Counseling considered By KON JOHNSON Of the Kmerald The University is presently considering a ,nee in student serv ices which would combine the i ersity Placement Service with the Office of reer Planning. According to Robert Bowlin, dean of Student sonnel Services, the change is not definite. He (I the University was only “exploring the sibility of merger.” But he indicated that the iposed merger is a very likely and rather definite imative The change would effectively “merge cement with counseling", and these services uld be available through one office tentatively led "Career Planning and Placement Service.” "Career placement,” Bowlin explains, “is icial to students. Placement has a finger on the sc of jobs. The purpose of counseling is to fit dents into a career." The new office would emphasize career plan gsooner, because in the past a placement center s primarily for seniors and graduate students. #lin foresees a change in placement services oughout the country in the next three or four irs, and the proposed change in services would led this new direction. Bowlin envisions “broader services with ader emphasis. . serving more of the student ly." Because there is an apparent need for career ruling at an earlier stage the new office would be ching students much sooner than now perhaps heir freshman year or even sooner Bowlin adds, sreer planning for lower division students does down play the importance of placement plan He strongly maintains that there would be "no •tailment of services” or “no services mgraded " He reasserts "we have the skills, I it is a matter of how we apply them.” The financial crisis of the University in the past irwas evidently not a factor in the proposal for a t office Bowlin merely indicated that "HPUP recommended more self-sufficiency.” The new office of Career Planning and Placement Services would probably have the same budget as the combined budgets of the University Placement Service and the Office of Career Planning had for the past year. Bowlin said the budget is still an uncertain matter. There has been one position lost and one position gained. The new position of counselor for minority athletes would be funded through the new office, but a placement counselor position has been lost. Bowlin said the State Board of Higher Education approves placement services and sets different placement fees. "If different fees are charged,” he says, “then the budget would be different." “If higher fees for alumnae are charged then we would have a better budget.” But it would still be similar to the previous budgets. The Career Planning and Placement Service would be located at the same place as the old of fices—in Susan Campbell Hall. And the hours would be the same, 8 to 12 and 1 to 5, Monday through Friday. Bowlin was enthusiastic about “the exciting possibilities for what career placement can be doing,” and he expressed optimism about the success of the proposed change. lie said there are many innovations that would be valuable to students and many new services that could be of fered through the new office. Knowing how to find a job, is something that can be learned—how to prepare a resume, where to look, how to begin, who to go to, Bowlin said. Lots of things can be done in groups And he said he thinks the involvement of graduate students and the use of special equipment such as video cameras and tape recorders would greatly facilitate counseling and placement services. These are some of the ideas he said he hopes would be augmented with the creation of the new office. rug center gets $1300 budget he ASUO Senate passed eral fiscal appropriations at first summer meeting June 2H 'he Inter institutional Union of idents ilUSl was granted a ector's salary of $105 per mthfor the summer months of ly.

Several executive appointment confirmations were also made at the senate meeting Most con troversial was the executive appointment of Bill Fidler as director of the International Education Center (IEC). Members of the Foreign Student Organization (FSO) said they were dissatisfied with the appointment procedure and a discussion ensued among senators and observers for an hour and a half with no senate confirmation. On Monday, a resolution was made by a senate ad-hoc com mittee established to settle the disagreement. The committee resolved that the administration of the IEC would be handled by a committee composed of three members, one from IEC, one from FSO, and a member of the ASUO Executive.
