Come the Black Women Leaders of Tomorrow,” with holiday

was quite impressed by the efforts that the students had made to
improve their rooms for “open house.”
In his letter of commendation to Dean J. C. Jones, Dean
Robinson and the personnel staff in the women’s area. Chancellor
Lyons stated, “The young women showed talent and creativity in
their arrangements and their decorations. Not only that they
looked the part of college young' women and were quite proud,
both of the young women themselves and the job which they had
done on their rooms.
He further stated that “the kind of values which are m-
culcated through this kind of effort have carry-over value in the
classroom and in other kinds of activities on the campus and are
to be encouraged. I hope that we can look forward to seeing more
of this kind of constructive programming in Student Personnel on
campus.”

A LETTER TO YOU
from “Fong Fong”
Much happiness do I wish to you. You are the light in all that’s
dark. I can’t pretend that I don’t miss you, because I do and the
light is always green when you need me. I donlt know what you
are going to do but I can’t be left sitting alone. We are not one
person but I feel your happiness, your love, your sorrow and
sadness. I have always had a need for you. In my desperation for
satisfaction I reach for you. A song builds within me and I am
reaching for you, my love. Night knows no joy wi^out you. I loved
YOU and you returned that love and all the world was beautiful.
You were far from fine sometimes, but it was all a part of our
love. You were the best!
Much love and happiness I wish to you.

SELECT THE Rlf^HT JOB
by Virginia Graham
Upon graduation in May 1974, many students will be compelled to enter the competition of the job
market. Most of the college graduates will have no specific idea about the kind of job he wants except
that it should provide a rather good salary. But James Brannon, the Coordinator of Equal Em
ployment at Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, says that selecting the right career is the second
most important decision of your life, while choosing a mate is the first.
In his article, “Selecting the Right Job”, he enumerates ten checkpoints that will help the college
graduate make a wise decision in choosing his career. First Brannon says that you must know
exactly what you want to do and whereyou want to do it. Have a definite plan for the future.
Second, before accepting a position with a company, investigate its advancement policies and
opportuntities. Find out if promotion schedules and raise schedules are automatic.
Third, find out what type of city the company is located in to see if it will suit your needs. Then
consider whether you would prefer working in a small or large corporation.
Select a job that will provide new experiences for you, but also select a job in which your past
experiences will be of some value. The salary should also be taken into consideration. The salary
offered should be competitive with the national average for a comparable position in-similar com
panies. .
Try to select a company that is well-established and is noted in his fields or one in which its
growth indicates that it will be. Also find out if the job has a training program.
Next consider the company personnel and their attitudes. Security means different things to
different people, but make sure that the company offers your kind of security.
Brannon recognizes the fact that selecting the right career is a difficult task by itself. But he
encourages future job seekers to have a good impression of yourself and you will realize that the
battle for success is halfway won.
Above all, don’t sell yourself short. Seek out “first” job and first company that fits you. Then
give both of them all you got.
Mid-Winter Festival
The FSU Humanities classes presented a program, hosted by William L. Bynum and Emily
Artis, which represented the various aspects of the Greeks, American Indians, Judeo- Christians,
Indians (Asian) and the Africans. The entire program reflected the areas of research and study
carried out by these classes during the latter half of this semester.
The program was focused on the life styles, the art, religion, food, mythology, dance, folklore,
and music of the groups mentioned above. To give the occasion an authenic atmosphere of the
various cultures, individuals wore the various kinds of dress which related to each country.
Mrs. Louise Hines, a New York opera star, started the program with two beautiful selections.
Then an Indian dance was performed. Theresa Herring, Deborah Merrel and Patricia Bullock
presented African art and fashions, and Bettina Fairell performed an African dance. Mary Solonion,
a native of Nigeria, held a question and answer period in which she answered questions about Africa.
The Hindu dance was also performed by Bettina Fairell.
Not only did the humanities class dress and dance like the various groups, but they also ate like
them. The menu consisted of Greek salad, Indian curry with rice and condiments, African green
vegetables, Judeo-Christian rolls and American Indian pudding. The food for this occasion was
prepared by Mrs. Whaley Hunt’s Humanities students.
Mrs. Whaley Hunt is the instructor of these Hunanities classes.
