you are a junior this
Semester, and you plan to
gr^cluatein May of 1985 then
yo.U^neeci to go see Mr. G.W.
director of Guidance and
Placements Services. His of-
ficers located in Room 212 of
Tarleton ; Center. He stresses
that the; student should plan
ahead; ,py finding at least ten
companies to apply with.
York told why personnel
directors of major companies
are rejecting college
graduates.
"The top two reasons given
for rejecting applicants after
the initial job interview are lit-
tle interest or poor reasons for
wanting the job, and the in-
ability to communicate during
the interview," He said.
' 'I tell the students before the
interview to research the com-
pany," York said.
York's office has all the in-
formation necessary for most
students looking for job
placement.
"A student called me up last
week wanting to know about
Southwest Airlines. I looked in
my book, found the answer to
the question and they took off,"
York said.
"We will research if we can't
find it right away, and after 24
hours we will usually have the
information," he said.
Juniors need to start their
job search now, especially if
the student wants to go to work
on June 1,1984.
"The student shoud have a
list of at least: ten prospective
employers, and they should
come by and see me now,"
York said.
"We accomodate the pro-
spective employer on dates he
can come. The number of par-
ticipating employers has
declined since 1978, however,"
he said.
On what to do in an interview
situation, York explained,
"Interviewing is really selling
yourself." York has a list of 50
questions that are most often
asked by employers in the
interview.
"What I tell graduates,
whether they want to go to
work for Gulf Oil, or LTV, is to
have answers for those 50
questions."
"We also have a list of six
factors most often taken into
account by employers in hiring
college graduates," York said,

Atlanta to perform
at TSU Thursday
By LYNNA FULLER
Student Activity Fund (SAF)
will present the talented new
country group "Atlanta" in
concert on Thursday, Oct. 13 at
8 pin in Wisdom Gym. Students
with SAF will be admitted free.
Advance tickets are $6 and
tickets at the door are $8.
Atlanta is a group of nine
multi-talented artists who
represent country music, the
city of Atlanta and the South.
However, they come from
many points of origin and
represent almost every region
of the United States.
The band consists of five
musicians up front playing
guitar, banjo, harmonica, fid-
dle and percussion. Also in-
cluded are two drummers (full
percussion) and two keyboard
players. All the members are
capable of singing lead and this
is shown in their stage act. Ac-
cording to a press release by
their recording company, MDJ
Records, "They take pride in
their unique harmonies and
will often close with the full
nine vocals leaving the au-
dience seemingly unaware of
the absence of instruments."
The group has made a big
splash with their first release,
"Atlanta Burned Again Last
Night." upon release, the song
"jumped onto the charts" at
No. 78 and has been climbing
quickly ever since. They have
several new selections, in-
cluding "Dixie Dreaming,"
"The Blue Side of the Gray,"
and "Pictures," which are
soon to be released.
On stage, the group performs
these songs, plus versions of hit
songs by popular groups such
as the Bellamy Brothers, the
Eagles and Alabama. They
also try country twists, on
rock'n'roll hits like "Shout,"
giving them a new "Atlanta"
sound.
The band has been compared
many times with Alabama—
and it's no accident. Atlanta's
manager, Larry McBride, also
helped Alabama get started on
his MDS recording label.
"There's no way to get away
from this comparison with
Alabama," McBride concedes.
"We could've named 'em Luka
