Jazz Festival Opens Tonight;
Varied Styles To Be Featured
Two members of the Class
of 1972, David Bunn and Hugh
Helm, have produced the new
film to be shown in the LA
auditorium at 9:15 and again
at 10:10 Saturday morning. The
28-minute sound and color
film was begun last fall and
is intended for general public
relations use by the college.
“What is creativity” is the
general theme of the film,
developed in interviews and
conversations with students,
faculty and administration a-
bout various facets of the
college.
Also on the program, at

formance by the St. Andrews
Chamber Singers.
At 2 p.m. in the main gym

sent “The Oscar,” a musical
review built around Academy
Award songs from 1934 to
1971. The Socastee Singers
is a 100-member group of
high school students from the
Myrtle Beach area, directed
by Arnette who was active in
the Highland Players. In six
years he has developed the
Singers into a nationally-rec
ognized high school group. Af
ter their performance here,
they will continue to Wash-
and Ne.Vork and then
performances in Belgium and
four cities in Switzerland.
The first St. Andrews Jazz
Festival opens April 12,
tonight, in the main gym. The
three groups playing will offer
widely varied jazz froms. The
festival will expose the St. An
drews Community to JAZZ,

More Jobs Open
To 1973 Grads
(CPS)—Job prospects for
students graduating from col
lege this spring are better
than at any time ’n the last
four years.
According to a report re
leased April 3 by the Carne
gie Commission on Higher
Education, the job market for
college graduates in both 1972
and 1973 indicates that the
poor job prospects facing col
lege graduates in 1970 and
1971 were in large part as
sociated with the economic
recession of those years.
The report warns, however
that it is still difficult to find
jobs for school teachers and
college faculty members. The
overall market for college
graduates, therefore, is re
ported not to be as favor
able as it was in the 19603,
when graduates could pick
and choose among a number
of attractive job offers.
Clark Kerr, chairmanofthe
Commission, explained that
betweea now and 1980 all but
25 per cent of the college-
educated persons entering the
labor market would fill p-osi-
tions in expanding occupa
tions that already have high
demands for college-educated
personnel. Ofthe remaining 25
percent, about half will find
positions thax have been or
can be educationally upgrad
ed—that is, positions that can
make use of a college educa
tion. The other half, however,
will need to accept positions
that do not lend themselves
to such upgrading.
