Page 4 The Voice December 22, 1982 The NCSEA... A Worthwhile Organization By EMANUEL VAUGHN JR The NCSEA(North Carolina Employees Association) is a voluntary, independent, non-partisan association of active state employees working toward the betterment of state services. Currently, the NCSEA is trying to protect the benefits that state employees now have while obtaining a 25% increase for all state employees and teachers in the 1983-85 biennium. Presently, according to the NCSEA, the pay checks of state employees does not compensate with the cost of living. In addition, the NCSEA is requesting an increase in the present Per Diem allowance. The per diem rate for employees required to stay away from home at night to $42(in state) and from $45 to $52(out of state). According to the NCSEA, this increase will be the first in three years. The NCSEA is also asking that the policies regarding benefits paid to permanent part-time employees be studied by the General Assembly and recommendations be made to provide the proper level of benefits to these employees. Mr. Cliff King, campus patrolman, and long time member of the NCSEA, says that there are not enough members of the FSU family being represented in the NCSEA and he hopes that more people will find the NCSEA worth their while. “Colored Girls'' By CHERYL M.

(Photo by M>r(ie Council) Student Profile By MARGIE COUNCIL NAME: Arleen Crawford BORN: Thomasville, GA May 22, 1962 HORO: "Gemini" Arleen Crawford is one of ihe most talented young ladies at FSU. She has won many awards from the beginning of her childhood life up to the present year. Arleen is a native of Georgia and a junior at FSU, majoring in Music Education with a Vocal Concentration. Dr. Richard T. Hadley, Instructor in the area of music, helps Arleen to sharpen her talents. Q. Who noticed your ability to sing? A. Mainly no one because this talent is among my family. But if you want to be precise about it, I would say my family. Q. So I’ll assume that you used your talent in a church, rieht? The radical changes in the job market and lifestyles that have already blurred the traditional roles of men and women now confront American males with unprecedented challenges--and opportunities—in defining career goals for the 1980’s and Heyond. In fact, instead of choosing and sticking to one career most American men now find they must—or are able to—enter a new career an average of seven times during their working life. So says Joyce Slayton Mitchell in a first-of-its kind career guide for men published by the College Board. Ms. Mitchell, author of 14 educational books including a definitive career guide for women, suggests that the rapidly changing job market and generally discouraging employment outlook make it more important than ever lor men to be aware ol their options when considering initial career choices— as well as the changes they may make during their working life. From her interviews she found that the phenomenon of multiple mini careers is so widespread that many men still in their twenties are already in their second or third different jobs. And Mitchell cites a new phenomenon in the job market: the fact that over one-third A. Yes. I sung on the church choir but not for long. My family and 1 would sing together. Q. Arleen, have you entered in many contests? If so, tell us the awards you’ve won. A.

Also in my senior year in high school, I sung in the Southeast Georgia- Northeast Florida Blacksoul Pageant where I place third. Q. Did you feel bad or were you upset that you didn’t receive first prize? A. Not really because I’ve been taught, one can’t win them all. 1 accepted what I’ve placed, besides, I was happy to receive the one thousand dollar prize. Q. Who is your favorite song artist? A. I listen to all music but my favorite person is Aretha Franklin. Q. Why Aretha? A. Well, she has a very distinct style and her voice is very unique which reminds me of my mother.

Some of the activities includes her singing in the freshman talent show, in the 1980-83 Carnation Ball.

Q. Arleen, it’s been said that you envy another person's talent here at FSU. This person has been called, Arleen no. 2. A. I’m glad you brought that up because I envy no one. I have no streak of jealousy of anyone here at FSU or anywhere else. I don’t feel that my talent is to be competed with anyone. This rumor is untrue. Having this special talent is among my family and has rubbed off on me. and I would like to say. I’m proud of it and I don’t flaunt it. Q. Well, Arleen, what are your plans for the future? A. I plan to be successful and may move on to Maryland or Illinois. Q. Will you spend your future in recording or singing with any group? A. No, but recording, I will look into. Q.

New career guide published by the college board Computers are top gifts Campus Digest News Service More than 1.5 million Christmas trees will spread their branches over gift-wrapped home computers this year. And Santa won’t be the only one busy trying to meet the demand. Texas Instruments Inc. and Commodore International Ltd. are already turning down orders for their TI-99/4A and their VIC-20. Other computer manufaturers, such as Tandy Corp. and Warner Communications Inc. have more work ahead of them than Santa’s elves. Even if all computer-makers combine their efforts, there is still no way they will ever fill all the orders, according to Michael Tomczyk, product manager for Commodore. The biggest seller of them all is the Sinclair ZX81, licensed to Timex Corp. The Sinclair, with simplistic programming, is listed at $99.95 and is expected to account for one-third of all home computers sold in 1982. Other high-selling computers are all marked under $500. The popularity of home computers has greatly increased because competition has driven down prices more than 80 percent from last year. And now that many homes have video games and electronic toys, home computers are the next logical Christ mas gift, especially since a computer can provide both entertainment and useful fnnction.
