'tri C'MON SNOOPY- CUT US A BREAK! We have a bone to pick. A bone with puppy lovers. It's time that all canine owners on campus are collared and forced to do something about the problem that their pets have created. Little dogs may be cute and cuddly, but they still must go about their daily ablutions. We do not desire to unleash a new problem on campus but we feel that the situation is just blooming out of proportion. It seems funny to complain about such a nuisance that would not have been plaguing us two years ago, but the fact is that it does exist. When the Student Senate granted permission to keep pets on campus, it's doubtful that it expected such a menagerie to be created. The grass around the campus is becoming covered with ani- mal excrement. People should walk their dogs where no one else will be sitting, walking or playing football. We have nothing against dogs nor the people who own them, but a health hazard may be in the making and we are trying to prevent it. It is not inconceivable that before long Rider may have the best grass around due to the abundance of fertilizer. We realize that a dog owner can't go around picking up after his dog but at least he can have Fido drop it in the right place. We can see it now-a security cop riding across the Park on horseback ticketing owners of dogs without licenses or those who have violated the sanitation codes. May we suggest that dogs be walked to or trained to head for the grassy area along Student Drive when they hear nature's call or have them head into the bushes where people wouldn't walk. Why not give the non-dog owners on campus a new leash on life. They must put up with the dogsg why make them put up with the accessories. si Rider News Editorial October 30, 1970

The Graduate To Hear Sounds 01' Silence by Kathy Santy Times are changing, said Mrs. Francis H. Ftosi of Rider's Placement Bureau. More and more seniors are sadly finding this out. The job market is scarce-too scarce. It used to be that the graduate had the advantage, being able to choose from several companies the one he'd like to work for. Not any more. Now the company chooses the graduate that it wants to hire. Some students really don't understand all the pres- sure that they have on them when they go looking for a job. Just what is today's employer looking for when he interviews a prospective employee? Well, according to Mrs. Ftosi, today's employer looks to see how well you've done. This, of course, means your cume and class rank but also more, much more. Today's employer looks for some leadership on campus, working experience, as well as what responsi- bilities the student has had. He wants to hire a hard worker. ln most cases the major isn't all that important. Often there is no specification made by companies as to what courses they want a student to have. Of course, there are some exceptions. One area that might be helpful is a course in sales- manship, for as Mrs. Flosi puts it, the companies ex- pect a kid to sell himself. lt's got to be a sales job from beginning to end. The product is the student himself. A student is also expected to have done his home- work on the company. He should follow-up every lead he can on the company that he hopefully expects to work for. The company obviously won't buy a product which does not try to sell itself. But there is no substitute for the best planning of all, and that is getting an early start in choosing your ca- reer. And following it up by working, even if it is only part-time or summers, in your chosen field. The ex- perience will be invaluable and may help when the stu- dent looks for a full-time job after graduation. After seeing the seriousness with which the employer goes into the interviews, one might wonder how the stu- dent feels when he goes to them. As one June graduate explained, I feel these inter- views are the most important final exams l'll ever have. Some kids will study two or three hours, maybe more, for a sociology or math test. But not even spend five minutes preparing for an interview when their entire fu- ture could rest on it. This student had done his homework. Not only has he planned ahead, but before each interview he had checked the corporation's Annual Report to see what he could learn about the company which was inter- viewing him. Some might say, Why bother? As he put it, I want to start off in a reasonably re- sponsible position. The pay is not all that important. What counts is whether l'll grow within the company or stagnate in a dead-end job. 124
