Smoke Signals, Wednesday, April 19, 1978 — Page 7 Job Picture Brighter For Next Few Months A cross section o( Raleigh employers, ^ried on their hiring plans for the •oming three months (April, May, June), are optimistic that ttie employ ment outlook, which has been good, will kecome even better, according to a •uarterly survey of Raleigh kusinessmen recentty released by Man- Cwer, ttie world’s largest teinjwrary Ip service. ^ Williams, owner of Manpower’s Raleigh office, said, “Manpower’s •nrvey of hiring intentions for the next Ihree months shows businessmen here «q>ect an upturn In hiring activity. There is anticipat«d seasonality with 17% of the firms queried having hiring plans for the next three numths, up LOCKER CHAPEL HILL, N. C.(CH) - The U. at North Carolina has prwnised to dou ble the number of locker room facilities available to women. Three sex discrimination suits had charged that men have 85 per c«it of the lockers although women comprise nearly half of the enrollment, but the suits were dropped after the institution promised to eliminate the inequity. ENROLL PHOENIX, Ariz. — For the first time in history, there are more women than men enrolled in U. S. colleges and universities, according to an Arizona State University professor. Dr. Robert Fr^e attributes the na tionwide trend to increased career op portunities for women, the women’s movement, low tuitions at community colleges and that many women are waiting longer after high school to get married. Frendie said, “More women than men graduate from high school, so, 4emographically the potential has idways been there for women to out- Bumter men in higher education in- ititutions, but social factors prevented this in the past.” 1/ To find peace and quiet . ” There are many places on and around the campus which provide exceptional beauty, especially in these early days of summer. The quiet, rustic scene above is Travel Catalog Ready For Overseas Trips -Tk* RHiinii. DaTticular intcTest to studcnts, tcachers formative The Council on International Educa tional Exchange (CIEE), a member ship organization of nearly 200 U.S.colleges and universities and a ma jor force in U.S. student travel for over 30 years, recently announced publica tion of the 1978 CIEE Flight Catalog and its companion publication the 1978 Stu dent Travel Catalog. Together, these catalogs provide 112 value-packed pages of comprehensive ' (arM and travel information oi particular interest to students, teachers and the budget-minded who go abroad for longer than the average two-or three-week trip. The Flight Catalog is the “how to get there" book; the Stu dent Travel Catalog is the “wtat to do when you get there” book. At a time when international fares and charter regulations contiBue to change at an unprecedented rate, the aEE Flight Catalog contains up4o-the- minute information on hard-to-find long-stay charters and low-cost ■cheduled airline fares around the world. Each issue of the Flight Catalog, updated whenever necessary, will con tain the latest information on: — CIEE’s long-stay charter program to Paris, Amsterdam and Zurich from New York, Chicago, Lo» Angeles and San Francisco. CIEE charters offer long stays at low costs for confirmed aeats to Europe. Sample round-trip fare from New York to Paris OR Amster dam OR Zurich - $359; from the West Coast-1479. — A cwnprehensive selection of long- itay charters to other destinations in Europe and across the Pacific offered by commercial operators. — Low-coat, scheduled airline fares from the United States to the niajor travel destinations around the world •uch as the new budget, standby and bargain fares. — Special student fligUs and fares within Europe and from Europe to Asia, Australia and Africa ofieritig aav- ings of up to half the regular fares. The new, colorful fifth edition of the 1978 Student Travel Catalog is more in- from 29% who made such projections m a similar survey by Manpower last quarter. Another 53% anticipate little change in their employment levels, 7% were unsure of their plans and a nominal 3% were considering reduc tions,” Williams said. In the Manpower survey last quarter, 60% forcast no change in their employ ment levels and 11% were considering reductions. The most optimistic hiring forecasts came from the service industry employers, where more than half of those surveyed made hiring predic tions. Also encouraging was the outlook among nondurable goods manufac turers. Nationally, hiring confidence levels for the next three months are as strong as they have been at any time during the last two years. The very positive employment outlook for the upcoming quarter registers the same positive expecta tions for new jobs as a similar Man power survey taken one year ago for the second quarter of 1977. According to government figures, the second quarter was the best quarter of 1977. There were 1,500,000 new workers added to toe U.S. employment ranks for the entire year. Nationally, the employment outlook is optimistic. One out of every three (33%) of the employers interviewed, the same percentage as one year ago, anticipates adding more worders. The majority of employers, 58% this year compared to 57% last year, expect the hiring pace to remain the same. In the surveys taken both this year and one year ago, 6% anticipate a retrenchment in hiring. The sharp jump in hiring confidence from last quarter to this quarter was largeley due to anticipated seasonality. In the first quarter of 1978, 25% pro jected increases, 59% no change, and 13% decreases in hiring.

By MKE BARNHARDT “We’ve got one of the strongest teams we’ve ever had” is the way coach Lin- wood Ferguson describes Chowan Col lege’s 1978 track team. The latest Braves’ victory, a 104-40 triumj* over the Newport News Naval Apprentice Sdiool, certainly substan tiates that statement. Elizabeth City State University scored 30 points in the meet here April 4. With only two meets left, the Braves boast a 3-0 record. “Our secret this year for a shot at the region championships is our strength in field events in quality and number,” Ferguson added. Ferguson praied his 44ft-yard relay team that ran an excellent time of 42.7 seconds, saying, “Our slowest man ran a 9.7. In the middle distance races ChowM has three sub-two^nute 880 men, in cluding two high school All-Americans. Jim King made a good showing, winn ing two events and placing third in another. He won the 880-yard run in 2 minutes 1.8 seconds and the mile in 4:38.7 before placing second in the two- mile run in 11:25.0. Allen Porter also took two first places. He won the long jump and the triple jump with respective leaps of 20 feet 9^ inches and 46-2^. Chowan’s Mike Harding won the discus throw with a toss of 124-6% and the javelin throw with a heave of 163- 0%. He also placed fourth in the shot. Brave runners Ri(^ Spruill and Ver non Morrison traded wins in the 100 and 220-yard dashes. Spruill won the 100 in 9.6 while Morrison took second in 9.8 Morrison came back to win the 220 in 22.6 while Spruill took second in 22.7. Other first-place finishers for Chowan included Jim Estelle with an 11:04.0 two-mile run. Bob Trojak with a 5-10 high jump, Daniel Days with a 42-11 shot put and Maurice Berry with a 15.7- second 120-yard high hurdles.

Although at a lower level, hiring con fidence among manufacturers of non durable goods continues to be strong with 29% forecasting increases in hir ing.

The Northeast continues to trail the nation with 28% forecasting increases in hiring and 62% to keep it the same. Forgotten Water ByPHILHEITMAN Bless the rains come tumbling down. Nourish the dry, cracking ground. Whee! I’m a drop. The moment a trickle ran To the present day of time, The many triumphs of man And none without mine. I’m a spring. A tiny thing. Oh the spring, the melting snow Is fresh to the cause And the downward flow Is letting momentum grow and grow. Till we all form a one That cannot stop. — I’m a creek. At every branch We brothers meet To discuss our river’s might. Slowing down for moonlit lovers And rushing the factories out of sight. The stones I’ve worn The battles tom And still as close as breath, I ask no fee Please don’t pollute me You’re choking poor trout to death. I’m a river I keep on flowin’ I keep on growin’ ‘Till I reach the sea. Stay with me. You have no choice Relax and rejoice. The simple life Is best. 1 am the sea. I’m free to be Anything, Everything within a mile And many a mile to go. Sit back and smile You never know, Where rU be tomorrow. Big Money, Red Tape Afkoftwr woy to gef obout comput it on •*- tinted unicycle, and this student has little trouble manuvering on the walkways with his "one-wheeler." BALTIMORE, Md. (CH) - This is a short tale of big money and federal red tape. Several years ago veterans were allowed to enroll in the University ol Maryland’s overseas campus without paying their tuition in advance. The university had the veterans sign a power of attorney so the veterans’ benefit chedcs could be sent directly te the university. But checks for many of the veterans — about $900,000 worth — never arrived at the bursar’s office. What happened to the money? Last yuear the university sued the Veterans Administration to find out and, hopefully, to be paid for the education of those veterans, long since departed. But a judge ruled Jan. 30 that since no constitotional queation is involved, tlw university bad uft ease. The aniversitjr took a risk in allowing the veterans ta enroll without payment, just like gran* ting credit, gaii the judge. The univer* aity shoukt huve known that tha veterans could have rescinded tM power of attorney and asked the VA t* send them their checks directly. Aa4 aoma students may oot have been eligl^ ble for benefits in the first place, nota^ the Judge. Unless the university decides to ap* peal and wins — it is apparently out the |9W,0«0, a loac that administrator* say will cause the overseas program to suffer some curtailments. And in the future at the University of Maryland, students can expect to be asked to lay cash on the Une when enrolling.
