49ers, Rams clash in game on national TV ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Quarterback Vince Ferragamo, who led Los Angeles to the Super Bowl in 1980 and set club passing records the next season, re turns to his old job Thursday night when the Rams face San Francisco's world champion 49ers in a nationally televised match of two struggling teams. Ferragamo, who left LA in a contract dispute and spent the 1981 season with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League, returned to the Rams this season behind Bert Jones But when Jones was injured in LA's 20-14 victory over Kansas City last Sunday, it thrust Ferragamo into the starting job Their victory over the Chiefs left Los Angeles at 1-3, the same record as the 49ers, who lost to New Orleans 23-20 last Sunday With just five games left in Ferragamo takes control of LA attack the strike-shortened season, San Fran cisco Coach Bill Walsh views Thursday night's game as crucial "This is a game we must win to stay in the playoff running," said Walsh. "I can t see a 1-4 club making it." Los Angeles Coach Ray Malavasi isn’t so sure All he says right now is. “Don't judge me or the team until the season is over " With Ferragamo in Canada, the Rams dipped to 6-10 last season and missed the playoffs for the first time in nine years Meanwhile. San Francisco, which hadn't finished first in the NFC West since 1971, won the division with a 13-3 record and went on to win the Super Bowl Quarterback Joe Montana, who led the 49ers to the Super Bowl victory last January, again has strong statistics this season with 100 completions in 159 attempts, although his protection has not been as solid as it was last season Walsh recalled that the team was 2-2 after the first four games of last seson but then improved dramatically and three-quarters of the campaign remained " But the strike has reduced the available recovery time this season Early in the season, a rash of injuries hit the 49ers and many of them healed during the strike period On Monday, however, wide receiver Renaldo Nehemiah sprained an ankle and is not expected to play The Rams suffered few injuries in the two pre-strike games However, on the first play after coming back, middle linebacker Carl Ekem suffered a knee injury that required surgery and put him out for the season So. with Jones also out, the club has lost both its offensive and defensive signal callers in the last two games Malavasi said Jim Collins, the second year pro from Syracuse who took Ekern's position, “has shown great improvement and should be even better against San Francisco " Although the game will be nationally televised, it will be blacked out locally because Anaheim Stadium was not sold out 72 hours prior to the kickoff At that time, approximately 6,000 seats remained unsold in 69.007-seat stadium BLOOM COUNTY by Berke Breathed [iK>. at sroc twuito met S1EME...SAY HaUJ.VDl) HOtO TO ARfcNT 5TO6P WKHWIWTS.

Monday through Thursday Peace Corps, grad school offer options Graduates want more than high-paying jobs By Debbie Howlett Of th« Emerald Most reports from the higher education front have surmised that what today's undergraduate college students want after graduation is a job, preferably one that pays well What most of the reports don't say is that a number of those student's classmates are taking a different route after graduation Some students opt for a few years of service, whether it be civil, social or military and some are deciding that staying in school is their best option Graduate school offers students an alternative to finding a job, but escape from the nine-to-five world is not the only reason to apply, says Shirley Menaker, acting dean of the graduate school. A more specialized knowledge and perhaps a chance at doing research with a highly regarded academician are both reasons to stay in school, but beyond that, there is also a chance for students to buy a little time to decide what direction they choose to go with the rest of their careers. A lot of the direction a student has in graduate school may become focused toward an eventual career in education, Menaker says. Quite a few of the masters degree students and a good number of doctoral students may very well end up teaching at the college or university level when they finish their degree pro grams. But whatever the end result is, Menaker says she feels the means to that end is just as important. Graduate students find their classes to be smaller, and “much more personalized," Menaker says. “It’s a very one to one relationship with faculty members and your committee," says Menaker of doctoral candidates. Menaker also says grad students as a group are much closer because of the group’s small size and shared goals and interests. But the closeness that develops among the students does not always parallel a closeness at home. Menaker says grad school definitely produces "difficulty in marriages." As for who should attend grad school, Menaker says she feels that any qualified student, with enough financial resources, who is sure they are interested in a “more focused education," would do well to explore several different programs. Students trying to buy a little time, ala Zonker Harris, should find another way to do it, says Menaker. One way to buy a little time, or travel a bit, or help another country, or even gain "international exper ience," is to join the Peace Corps, says Marsha Swartz, a University strategy coordinator for the Peace Corps. "It’s an opportunity, before you get sunk into a work position, to experience other cultures and worlds — to travel," Swartz says. The University has a high rate of placing people, Swartz says, and Oregon, the state, is one of the most prolific suppliers of volunteers in the nation. Preference is given to volunteers over 18 years-old and those with degrees that pertain to certain clas sifications. A volunteer signs for a 27 month hitch (which is not entirely impossible to get out of), in a country. The corps offers room, board, and a spending allowance during the term of service plus a $175 per month savings program back in the states. Swartz says the Peace Corps is an outstanding opportunity to travel and add to an academic education, but it is also a chance to help a developing nation. The biggest need for volunteers is in Africa and the South Pacific, but Swartz says the program is not for everyone. "The underlying criteria,” Swart says, "is that you’re flexible and work well under stressful condi tions.”
