and try to get them out with
a pair of scissors. Be very
careful not to cut the skin. If
you keep the points of the
scissors in view, that helps. If
you think you'd rather start
out with your pet tangle-free,
call your vet to see if he/she
has anyone that does
grooming. You will probably
need to make an appointment.
Be explicit about what you
want done so that they don't
have to guess. Otherwise you
may be surprised. It's wise to
isk the groomer what you can
expect the animal to look like
after it's done. Some animals
have to be completely shaved
in order to get all mats. You
might also ask the price so
you know you have enough
money.
The price of a clip will
probably include a bath. (At
Friendly Veterinary Hospital it
also includes a toenail trim and
an earcleaning. I don't know
about other places.)

Opportunities
for Blacks
CONTRIBUTION
Black college students
presently choosing fields such
as social sciences, home
economics, and education may
face better employment pros
pects if some will shift to other
majors.
A new report on manpower
and education forecasts more
favorable job opportunities for
black graduates in those fields
where job openings exceed the
overall supply of college grad
uates and in areas where blacks
are especially under
represented.
Some fields meeting both of
those conditions include the
health specialties, engineering,
accounting, computer sciences,
public administration and
urban and regional planning,
according to Black College
Graduates and the Job Market
in the South, 1980, published
by the Southern Regional Educ
ation Board.
In health specialties, for
example, the bachelor's degree
level fields show scant black
representation, while demand
in the South is estimated to
outstrip the supply of all grad
uates through 1980. Allied
health fields such as nursing,
therapy, hospital and health
care administration, as well as
the health professions (med-

concerned about in regards to

any related subject, they can

icine, dentistry, optometry,
veterinary medicine and pod
iatry), offer excellent
employment opportunities.
Black enrollment in business
and management has risen
sharply. This shift of black
students is a healthy trend
because of continuing black
under-representation in the
business sector, according to
the report.
Black women, traditionally
inclined toward the more
career-oriented studies, have
greater representation than
white women in what were
traditionally male-dominated
fields. Employment outlook
is favorable if black women
continue to choose disciplines
which show favorable job
markets, the study indicated.
On the other hand, teaching
is considered a high risk area
for future employment for all
races. Although there is an
oversupply of teachers, 40 per
cent of the bachelor's and
master's degrees earned by
blacks in 1973-74 were in
teacher education. This
compares to only 29 percent
for all college graduates.
The SREB report also warns
of market saturation and dimin
ishing opportunities for blacks
in overcrowded fields, even
though blacks are not highly
represented in some of them.

It looks like the club is really
coming back to life! At the
second meeting we elected
Doyle Moore President, Jim
Stephens Vice President (in
charge of programs), Charles
Hayworth secretary, and Dan
Fayen Treasurer.
Meetings are now going to
be bi-weekly and programs
are planned for all of them.
This Wednesday, Oct. 13 we
will show a film The Rival
World about the competition
between man and insects, as
man is drastically outnumbered
by the insect population.
Other items on the agenda will
be the Calendar and a camping
trip.
Plans are being made for a
camping trip either the week
end of October 30 or November
6. If you have a preference

George Bliss will visit the
Guilford campus October 26
to speak about and interpret
Quaker concerns in Washing
ton, D.C. George Bliss is Field
Secretary for the Friends
Committee on National Leg
islation (F.C.N.L.), in Wash
ington. Besides his interest in
national affairs, Mr. Bliss is
actively involved in education.
Although affirmative action
programs may possibly offset
scarcity of openings in fields
such as communications, arch
itecture, law, pharmacy, psych
ology, letter and biological
sciences," observed Eva
Galambos, author of the report,
"the job search will be easier
for blacks who earn degrees
in other fields where job open
ings exceed numbers of
emerging graduates of all
races."
Black college graduates in
1980 will constitute 11.3 per
cent of the region's total
market-ready graduates, Dr.
Galambos predicts. The prop
ortion in the various fields of
study, however, differs from
this overall 11.3 percent share.
For example, market-ready
black engineering graduates
are projected to represent 4.4
percent of the total in engineer
ing but 15.9 percent in teacher
education. Although in both
fields, blacks are under
represented relative to their
proportion of the entire reg
ional black population, blacks in
education are over-represented
relative to their proportion of
market-ready degrees in all
fields of study.

come to the meeting or let
Sandell Froelicher or Helene

Watch for notices about the
date decided upon and look
for sign-up sheets.
Have you read the credits
of the Biophile Calendar only
to discover to you chagrin that
this year's is the last?? Well
something can be done. Come
to the meeting, write a letter
to the Gui/fordian and let us
know that you would like to
see it continue. If you are
interested in working on this
unique campus publication,
come to the meeting or talk
to one of the officers. We
need art work, people to work
on layout, editing, general
organization and lots of ideas
for a new theme. Funds for
this will have to be from un
