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.

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.
