et al Job study receives funds A supplemental grant of $78,000 to the University from the Office of Naval Research will permit the continuation of research on ‘Commit ment, Careers and Retention in Organizations,’ a study of behavioral factors linking people to their jobs. Richard Steers and Richard Mowday, University assistant profes sors of management, are conducting the research, which the Navy has sponsored since 1975. A $16,000 portion of the grant has been sub contracted to the University of California at Irvine for the same research. The purpose of the job commitment study, which despite its spon sor is not aimed at the military, is to establish models of behavior that would help explain absenteeism and job turnover, Steers says. Steers estimates that the research will be completed by the end of this year, and a subsequent book on the psychology underlying job commitment should be ready by 1981. Argentine exhibits prints A series of prints by Argentine printmaker and painter Elvira Lovera is on exhibit at Gallery 141, Lawrence Hall through Feb. 21. Lovera, who is a Fulbright scholar in the University’s Master of Arts program, teaches painting, drawing and printmaking at the Fine Arts Prilidiano Pueyrredon in Buenos Aires. She did the works in her exhibit in Argentina, England and the United States during the past three years. Lovera has exhibited widely since 1965. Her works are in .the collections of several museums in Argentina and in private collections in South America, England, France, Italy and the United States. Gallery 141 hours are noon to 7 p.m. daily. There is no admission charge.

According to Del Hawkins, director of the masters program in business, the program is “desirable because it will enable us to com pete more effectively for outstanding students.” As usual, the student will be granted a bachelor’s degree after the fourth year, but the final year of undergraduate study will be devoted almost exclusively to courses required for an MBA, he says. It may be necessary for some departments to modify their require ments to make the “3-2 program” (Three years bachelor work; two years masters) possible, Hawkins says. Applications for admission to the 3-2 MBA program must be sub mitted by May 1 of the student’s junior year. Admissions are limited to fall terms. Minimum admission criteria are: A Graduate Management Admission Test, GMAT, score of 550 or more; a cumulative grade index of at least 3.4; three personal recommendations from persons qualified to comment on a student’s potential for graduate study and a statement of no more than 1,000 words in which the applicant outlines his objec tives for the proposed program of study. For more information contact Del Hawkins in 270B Gilbert Hall, or call 686-3306. Symposium scheduled Flegistration applications are now being accepted for a two-day symposium on “Behavioral Theory and Therapy.” The symposium, sponsored by the University psychology and edu cation departments, will be held March 3 and 4 at the Valley River Center and includes panel discussions and speeches on behavioral counseling in many areas of therapy. For more information contact chairer Joanna Hoskins at 342-7816, evenings. peanuts ® ISN'T THIS A BEAUTIFUL VALENTINE ?
