After Monday's event, however, Wynne said her office had received only 30 inquiries for the jobs.
The program pays undergraduates $9 an hour to call Radcliffe alumnae for contributions to the annual fund.
"We definitely didn't have the same interest as in past years," Wynne said. "We've put two ads in The Crimson, and we've instituted a hiring bonus for current employees who get other people to sign up. We're trying to talk it up."
Dean of the College Harry R. Lewis '68 said the College officials advised phone-a-thon organizers that the fairs are for extracurricular activities and they should consider recruiting students through the Student Employment Office.
Bonnie Clendenning, dean for external relations at Radcliffe, said she had expected the College to grant Radcliffe its own table at the two extra-curricular fairs, as in years past.
But when she tried to reserve the table this summer, Clendenning said, Illingworth told her that Radcliffe would not be given its own table.
"It didn't occur to me that we wouldn't be able to have a table. I was working on auto-pilot. We are still learning," she said.
