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

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.”
