Arts jobs offer hot career prospects By Aleta Zak Ol (ha EmaraW Here are some hot job pro spects for the 1980’s, accor ding to the U.S. labor depart ment: political scientist, book keeper, geologist, architect, professional dancer. Dancer? Suprisingly, entertainment and the arts are areas ex pected to grow as Americans spend more time on leisure ac tivities, said Larry Smith, director of the career planning and placement. During a Monday afternoon session on job prospects, Smith talked about what’s go ing to be hot and what’s not during the next decade. He us ed a 1980 federal labor depart ment study to project those areas expected to offer the most opportunity to today’s college graduates. Labor-saving computer devices will give Americans more free time to spend on listening to music and wat ching television, which spells 37 percent more openings for dancers and 34 percent more for musicians and composers. Predictably, the computer, business and technological fields ranked high on a scale used to estimate their ex pected percentage growths in the job market. A 20 percent increase is considered acreage for all fields, acord ing to Smith. Openings for computer pro grammers will increase about Maranatha display case ‘offensive’ to students An EMU display case with pictures of aborted babies be ing exhibited by Maranatha Christian Fellowship has sparked a protest over its exhibition. Complaints were officially registered by 10 students at the Information and Grievance Center, says IGC director Justina Bernstein. Several others informally said they were offended by the exhibit, she says. Nine students signed a peti tion for the removal of several pictures of bloodied aborted fetuses in a display case out side the Fishbowl Cafete:*a. The petition drive died Olum to speak at fireside chat Students have an opportuni ty to chat informally with University Pres. P-ul Olum to day at 4 pm. in Room 303 Chapman. According to Chris Leonard, secretary to the president, Olum will respond to students' questions and concerns. The session should last about an hour, she said. because the EMU refused to interfere with the group's right to freedom of speech, Berns tein says. "We don't make value Judgments on any organiza tion,” says an EMU scheduling official. Any group recognized by or registered with the ASUO Student Administrative Board may sign for the space on a first-come, first-serve basis. Young Americans for Freedom are scheduled to start a new display today. Several students said they were offended by the pictures on the petition sheet. One stu dent said the display disgusted him before lunch while another said the exhibit utilized scare tactics that are inappropriate to its nurpose. “I wouldn’t call them scare tactics,” says Bruce Fidler, a Maranatha member. “I’d call them evidence of what is go ing on in America today. “Personally, I find them of fensive mysdlf,” he adds. But people need to be educated on the atrocities happening in America so such events do not occur in the future, he says.

The com puter will play an increasing role in Americans’ daily lives and in the business world, creating a need for computer literate workers, he said. Geologists, along with min ing engineers, will be in de mand as scientists seek new energy sources from coal and shale oil, Smith said. Open ings for mining engineers will increase 58 percent and the geological field will see a 41 percent rise. Political scientists and sociologists will be needed to sort out more complex political power struggles, he continues. Opportunities for I political scientists will go up 64 percent, while sociologists can expect 59 percent more openings. Though much of the demand for economists will be for those with doctorates, op portunities will increase 38 percent. Up to 59 percent more ar chitects will be needed to design buildings for a more service-oriented economy and some 42 percent more open ings will be available for adver tising agents. As manufactur ing industries are shifted to third-world locations, com panies will concentrate more on marketing products, trig gering a 44 percent increase for purchasing agents and a 54 percent increase for sales managers, he said. 1 IFC funds pre-health center Despite a revised ASUO Executive recommendation calling for zero-funding, the Incidental Fee Committee Monday approved a $460 budget for the Pre-Health Science Center. The IFC approved a 42.5 percent cut for the center, which received $800 this year. The group’s purpose is to help students reach their professional goals within the medical field. The program solely benefits group participants with its career-related ac tivities and should charge students $2 each to fund its preceptorship program, said David Gibson, ASUO vice president of ad ministration and finance. The preceptorship program allows students to spend time in the field with professionals. Cutting the preceptor ship program would affect the recruitment and reten tion of University students in the long run, said pro gram director Paul Faringer. The committee approved no money for postage costs, which made up most of the cut and were intend ed for mailing newsletters and preceptorship program information. The IFC also approved $1,005 for Condon Society, a student association af filiated with the geology department, despite charges that group field trips do not benefit the stu dent body. The $600 travel budget benefits trip par ticipants but does not benefit nonparticipants, said IFC member Bart Hill. A primary program pur pose is to get students off campus doing field work, said Scott Urquhart, Con don Society director. Students bring back photographs and samples from trips, he added. The committee also ap proved $3,692 for Repertory Dancers — a program that brings in professional dancers and educates students on dancing. Inter national Studies Associa tion, Legal Services and Asian Studies Society were allocated $177, $32,545 and $161, respectively. Asian Studies Society is a new group. —emu Food Service Beer Garden 4-7 p.m. Now on Wednesday, Feb. 9 Dining Room with The Slate Sorenson Quartet 16 oz. cups 75C 32 oz. cups $1.50 pitchers $2.50 Alternate beverages served Make it the way your heart desires Give a Personal Valentine > Blank Greeting Cards 1 Construction paper ' Colored pencils 1 Marker pens 1 Metallic markers ’ Calligraphy pens and sets ’ Drawing ink ' Tissue paper Everything you need to make your own Valentine.
