Those women who made Santa Clara history by entering the University in 1961 are now scattered throughout the US, from New Jersey to Alaska. But some have remained in the Bay Area and continue to be very active in the Santa Clara community. "There is something about the Santa Clara community that is very special," says Kathleen Bui, one of the first SC alumna who has remained active in Santa Clara affairs. Bui, who lives in Menlo Park, came to Santa Clara in 1961, following in the footsteps of her father, brothers, and grandfather. Bui, also known as "Muffy" ii her Santa Clara days, recalls a mixed reception that first semester.

"Bui believes "this really says How important is something about Santa Clara and the kind of people it turns out." The women who attended Santa Clara in the early 1960 were part of a unique period in the history of the University.

She also arranged the first coed reunion, held two years ago in Benson Center. Walker's son, who attends Bellarmine College Preparatory in San Jose, and her daughter, who is applying to Santa Clara, will continue the family tradition that Walker believes is a very important part of the University community. "Day students didn't exist," says Lorraine Paskeicz, whose experience at Santa Clara was a little different than some of the other coeds'. She lived at home while working her way through school, and her feeling that there was "no such thing as day students" is still common among SC day students. Paskeicz majored in French, and is now a French teacher ai nearby Mt. Pleasant High School, where she encourages many of her students to go to Santa Clara. "Santa Clara was a really different place then," she recalls. your GPA? other extracurricular activities. When a few spokespersons of major Bay Area firms were questioned, all agreed that although many things are taken iito account, GPAs are ex tremely valid and important considerations when hiring. A spokesperson for Apple Computer in Sunnyvale says that Apple certainly looks at grade point averages. If an applicant's GPA is below 3.5, the employer would look for reasons why. At Apple, "the total picture" of the student is considered, and outside of a serious appraisal of a student's GPA, Apple looks favorably upon related work experience. At Food Machinery Corp. in Santa Clara, GPAs again prove to be important. Since this firm deals in technical areas of production, research and develop ment, and internal consulting, a higher level of experience and knowledge is needed. A spokesperson claimed that it would be "highly unlikely" for FMC to hire anyone who has a GPA below 3.0. When recruiting at colleges, FMC considers experience, ex tracurricular activities, how an applicant presents himself in At IBM.a spokesperson said thai each individual case iscvu sidered separately. Personal character, extracurricular activities, a student's major, related work experience, and course load are all considered, but grades are "what it's all about," claims the spokesper son. IBM looks for students in the top 10 percent of their col lege class, and the company uses college performance records as an indication of the person's future growth in the firm. But in the non technical positions, where specific technical knowledge is not generally required, firms want to see whether or not an applicant is capable of communicating well with people. A spokesperson for the Red Lion Inn in San Jose, for instance, claims that good grades are not an indica tion of how well an applicant will be able to relate with others when selling goods and ser vices. Grades do count and are increasingly important due to advance technology and needs of our fast-paced, complex world. But firms, depending upon the specific field, seem to vary in their GPA requirements. While technical positions re quire technical courses, study and excellent grades, non technical positions, such as those in sales and management, need a person with an excellent sense for service and the needs of the public. interview, and, of course, the However, people from most the firms agree that competition is applicant's grade point average.
