Look Again-Many of Them Are Students For Immodiat* Rtlattm What do students do with their spare time? Many of them work and it leaves little time for any extra curricular activity, includ ing demonstrations or protests. The fact is that each year an increasing number of students are In-coming members of the nation's work force, the Institute of l.ife Insurance re|K>rts A typical example is the 19- yoar-old youth selling records across the counter in a depart ment store. He is a college stu dent who works to supplement a small living allowance from his family. The checker on the afternoon shift in your super market is a high school student who is there to earn extra money for clothes, and maybe, save up for a second hand car. The solemn-looking, pretty girl receptionist in your doctor's of fice mornings is working on her master's degree and hopes to put away enough for her studies for the next two years. Hoi', Inany youths are there who ! i i h wort: and attend school'.' Welt, the last lime the scholar-workers had their noses ' counted, repor the Institute, about a year ago. At that tinu there were some 4.8 mil lion students between the ages of lfi to 21 who were either work ing or active candidates for em ployment The number of stu dents in the labor force, accord ing to the Bureau of Labor Sta tistics. has more than doubled within the past decade. A major part of the responsi bility for this influx of student job holders, in recent years, can be credited to what the demog raphers sometimes call the •■Doublc-B" factor —the Baby Boom of |>ost World War II years. This phenomenon, of course, swelled considerably the ranks of the 18-to-21-year olds attending college in the sixties. By last year. 42 per cent of men in that age group were in col leye. nearly double the number of the previous decade. As for high school students who work, there are many more who now graduate than ever be fore In 1969. for example, nearly three-fourths of all 16-to-21-year olds out of school and in the la lx>r force had at least a high THEY BUY IT! All Together Now: How Do Today's Young People Feel About Protecting The Family's Values? For Immediate MMM Despite concerns that life styles if youth have changed radically, young people seem ingly continue to support tradi tional family values. As evidence, the Institute of Life Insurance cites the fact that the great majority of young people act to maintain family living standards through the ownership of life insurance. A lilC'J survev for the Institute re vealed that HI |mt cent of adults IH-to-24 years of age owned life insurance, while for the 25-to -34 ace bracket the figure was 79 per cent. One of the very first things most young life insurance buy ers want to know, says the In stitute. is how much life insur •nee coverage they need to pro vide adequate protection for a Krowing family. A useful rule of thumb, ac cording to the Institute, is to own life insurance amounting to four or five times annual in come. In the case of a young man now earning SBSO a month, with a wife and two small children, for example, if something should happen to him now, his family would need about three-fifths of hit monthly take-home pay for living expenses, and rent, or mortgage payments. This could be accomplished by supplement ing Social Security payments of about $435 a month with income . of Livingstone College. The ' occasion was "An Evening ! With Mattie T.

The prime reason behind the accelerated student-worker pop ulation has been an ever-growing social pattern toward more schooling in American society The financial pressures to both work and remain in school longer have become intensified by the spiraling costs of a col lege education. The Life Insur ance Agency Management Asso ciation recently reported that annual private college costs in 1970 can go as high as 53,200 for tuition expenses alone. Who are the students who work? Well, they come in both sexes, of course, and from a variety of social backgrounds. It is just as common, these days, to see the student son of a sani tation worker teach swimming at the local Y. as it is to spot the daughter of a Columbia Uni versity professor waiting on a table at a summer resort. An important segment of the working student population are married college men. No less than 62 per cent of these young people work, some at full-time jobs, as they attend school to help prepare themselves for the future. For a job helps to pay for the kind of start-up expenses all young family house holders have. These may be a house mortgage, or apartment provided by life insurance. To gether they would provide the family with about 67 per cent of the husband's income, while the children arc dependent. Do-it-yourself estimates of your family's needs are fine as far as they no. However, the job of interpreting their require ments into a specific amount of life insurance belongs to a life insurance agent. His experience and training will supply expert answers to family security needs.

According to the Institutes some 81 per cent of persons- in th( t ...18-24 age group own life-insurance and many of them attend college. What kind of jobs do those scholar-workers hold down? While some work at full-time positions, most students take on part-time jobs. These most often are clerical, sales, or service positions. Participation in some jobs of recent years has been declining as a result of techno logical developments. In the past ten years, for example, there has been a 10 per cent drop in the number of students employed as farm laborers. What can a major airport mean to a community? The annual payroll for Washington National Airport near the na tion's capital is S7B million. Some 554 million of this goes to residents of the state of Virginia. As Federal Aviation Administrator John H. Shaffer points out, the 11,000 employee Westinghouse Aerospace Cen ter was located adjacent to Friendship International Air port outside of Baltimore, Md., essentially because the airport is there. Since incomes of young fam ily men are almost certain to increase over the years; the In stitute suggests a review of the family life insurance needs at regular intervals, say every other year Another fact for the young buyer of life insurance to keep in mind is that because of his youth, premium rates for his life insurance coverage arc low and usually easier to man age out of family income. SCLC President Leads Way on Las Vegas Strip ATLANTA, Ga. - Dr. Ralph David Abernathy, Presi dent of the Southern Chriatian Leadership Conference, launched SCLC's nationwide War Against Repression In Las Vegas, Nevada last Friday night In an effort to block what he called "Nevada's most repressive move against the poor of this land."
