NO SMALL PLANS -Continued From Page One- WHAT'S GOING ON MONDAY, November 5: exceptional qualities. Chancellor William E. Highsmith told the directors, "We are not making, any small plans as we look at the 1980s. We are looking at a significant broadening of our curriculum. "Campus committees are working on long-range planning for the growth and development of this institution. We are talking about substantial growth for this campus and a strengthening of our program." Dr. Highsmith said, "These plans are going to make a great deal of dif ference to UNC-Asheville and to this community and area." Dr. Montgomery succeeded Sidney A. Hughes, senior vice president of First Citizens Bank and Trust Co., in the chairmanship. Hughes remains on the board. New members of the board are Gerald C. Beyers, plant manager for the Square D. Company in Asheville, E. Charles Dyson, division general manager for Carolina Powpr & Light Co., Osborne M. Hart, president of Wilkins and Hart Mortuary, Mortimer I. Kahn Jr., vice president of Broad River Processing Co., Eugene C. Ochsenreiter jr. of Oshsenreiter- Franklin, Inc., and George O. Self, president of Self-Sluder Advertising Co. The^ University's Board of Trustees, at a quarterly meeting on Oct. 18, heard more details about UNC-A plans from the chancellor. Talking about the school's combin ed engineering program with N.C. State University, Dr. Highsmith said a beginning on an undergraduate "2 plus 2" plan, in which a pre engineering student will take the first two years of college at UNC-A and then transfer with full credit to State or a similar school for the engineering degree, is now dependent on N.C. State's success in finding the right per- spn to take up academic residence at the Asheville campus. This person, Highsmith said, will help plan and be in charge of the pro gram at UNC-A. The cooperative program will be a very important step for the university, Highsmith said, "because it responds to some well-identified needs of the community. "It will use our basic general educa tion, basic sciences and basic mathematics programs. It will bring five courses in engineering to this cam- TUESDAY, November 6: 12:30 p.m. Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship Coffeehouse 3:15 p.m. Admissions Committee Adm. Conf.

CONTINO HERE Famed accordionist Dick Contino, who played to a full house at UNC-A two years ago, will return for two per formances here on Tuesday, Nov, 13. He will play a short concert at noon in the cafeteria. The menu that day will include dishes from Germany, France and Spain, Hosts will be the French, Spanish and German clubs. A complete concert performance will be presented at 8 p.m. in the Humanities Lecture Hall. UNC-A students will be admitted free. Tickets for others will be $2. Contino has performed all around the United States, in Canada, Europe and the Soviet Union. His appearance here is sponsored by the University Committee for Cultural and Special Events. pus. At the end of two years, provided their grades are what they should be, the students will have clear sailing right into State or into any other school of engineering." In four or five years, the chancellor said, when the "2 plus 2" system is working well, it can be changed to a "3 plus 1" arrangement. This January, he said, an extension program for a master's degree which N.C. State is now conducting at the American Enka Corporation plant will be moved to the UNC-A campus and will continue here. EMPLOYMENT -Continued From Page One- This tightening of the job market places an added premium on career selection. For those so inclined, ex cellent job opportunities should prevail for accountants, programmers, veterinarians, meteorologists, statisti cians, business and farm managers, bank officers, industrial-purchasing agents, and urban planners, et al. Jobs with poor prospects include farming, secondary-school teaching, and research work, among others. The locus of jobs in the next decade is another crucial consideration. By and large, job openings are likely to be most plentiful in states with the fastest- growing populations and most scarce in the states where the population is decreasing or remaining constant. For instance, the Government pro jects that the number of jobs will in crease by more than 20 percent bet ween 1980 and 1985 in Alaska, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and Texas but grow by 3 percent or less in Rhode Island, New York and northeastern New Jersey. To avoid ending up with the wrong skills in the wrong location, seek pro fessional advice before making career decisions. On campus, guidance and information is available from the friendly staff at Testing, Counseling, and Advising (TC & A). They can help you choose the right career direction to take. 2
