STUDENTS ANSWER EEfiiNOMlCS See Fate 3 /tV " ■ / REAL WORLD JOBS ’82 By Lorraine Walker The job outlook for the graduating class of 1982 looks good and bad depending on 1) field of study... Business Week magazine's Indus try Outlook 1982 (January 11, 1982) reported that the strongest categories of jobs for the next few years will most likely be: drugs, food, health care, high technology, of course, and telecommunications. "Where the Jobs Are..And Aren't" reported in Newsweek (November 23, 1981) listed the high growing industries at the present: optical equipment, office machines, computer science and health care - especially medical laboratories, nursing homes and therapist services. John D. Shingleton, director of Michigan State University placement service, which conducts job place ment studies, stated, "Job seekers in the fields of engineering, accounting, marketing, and transportation-related majors can expect to find good jobs at competitive salary levels. In education, for instance, there is still a severe shortage of science, math and special education teachers. As for blacks and women, Michigan State and the Black Collegian magazine surveys indicate that black college graduates will be more heavily recruited by employers than any other group in the class of 1982. Blacks who are into chemicals and drugs, banking, electrical/elec tronics, miscellaneous manufactur ing, oil service and supply, utility, and conglomerate industries will find easy employment. For women with mas ter's and bachelor's degrees, the job market will remain the same this year I as last year. Although the study characterized last year's job market as "tight," it stated that 87% of 1981's graduates had found jobs within three months of graduation. Because of rising unemployment among older workers, job competi tion seems to be stiffer in all fields. "It is valid to say students will be competing with a greater number of older, experienced job seekers this year," said Victor Lindquist. Lindquist helps administer the influential Endicott Report on American busi ness campus hiring plans and is placement director at Northwestern. The only drawback in this survey is that job prospects for liberal arts majors will be less than rosy. 2) "Location will make a big difference in whether or not graduates find employment. The market in the midwest is drying up while the southwest and sunbelt areas look very good," says Shingle ton. As far as salaries go, technical majors will continue to be '■ewarded with the best starting salaries. The highest salaries will go to electrical, chemical and mechanical engineers. The lowest salaries will go to social science majors ($14,112), human ecology graduates ($15,114), hotel and restaurant management gradu ates ($15,195) and communications majors ($15,j514). Majors such as accounting majors ($18,372), sales/marketing graduates ($17,532), and business administration bache lors ($17,478) will receive around 4.7% increase compared to the salary that was paid to new college graduates last year. Good Luck. AID O.K. With all the recent talk of student aid being cut off for students, there is a lot of doubt among many as to money for college next year. Those of you here at Louisburg and those of you planning to come here may rest assured for next year. While there have been some cuts here at Louisburg, they have not been drastic. Steve Brooks, the Financial Aid Director here at Louisburg, stated ,that, "No student will be turned away because of money. Those that need aid will get aid." Mr. Brooks stated that Reagan's proposed budget cuts will not hit Louisburg College hard until the fiscal year 1983-1984. So if you had doubts about aid for next year, you may rest easier. Louisburg College is still taking Financial Aid requests and it never hurts to apply. It may take a while to fill out all those triplicate forms, but the time it takes will be well worth it. SIM meb it lou-i By Beth It just could happen; exams are finished, you're relaxing at home, and your final grades arrive. They aren't exactly what you expected. "I was sure I had a 'C' in that class," you think. But there it is, in black and white, a big "F". There is something you can do about it though. Summer school! Even if you have good grades, summer school can get you ahead. I Next year your load will not be quite so heavy. Summer school at Louisburg College starts June 14th (first session) and it lasts three weeks. The second session starts the following Monday (and lasts three weeks). Bethune Some of the courses being offered this summer are: New Testament, History (American), Contemporary Math, and Marriage and Family. Of course, English Literature and English Composition 101 and 102 will be offered. The classes usually last from 8:30 a.m. until noon. Louisburg College also has a "science session" in the summer. This lasts four weeks. Summer school is lots of fun, believe it or not. Everyone gets to stay in Hillman, and there are usually not many students. If you are interested in summer school, check with the admissions office. They have all the information. PLAYERS END SEASON Robert Mat hews and Debbie Campbell - “An Ordinary Couple’" By Lorraine Walker The Louisburg Players took their last curtain call of the season April 16, when closing night arrived on the scenes of the well known musical, "The Sound of Music." The performers for this musical were from Louisburg College student body and faculty, Louisburg High school student body, and the townspeople of Louisburg and surrounding areas. With a cast that large, it was apparent they were well managed, organized, and directed. How could they lose with Charley Smith, director, and Charles John son, Musical director? The individuals who really brought the play to life were Debbie Campbell as Maria and Robert Mathews as Captain von Trapp. The leading nuns were Lucinda Ayscue, Pat Morgan, Cindy Morris and Leslie Ennis. Other leads held by Louisburg College students and staff were; Charles Johnson as Max Detweiler, Sonia Galloway as LiesI, Greg Bush as Rolf, and Angie Morris as Elsa Schraeder. Congratulations, Louisburg Players for another superb performance!
