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.

30 percent, and bookkeepers
and data entry specialists will
go up 56 percent. 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.

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.
