Everyone becomes his own fashion design er. There are many con trasting color coordi nates that are used in creating the various styles which ranges from the mini, midi to the maxi styles. We as young ladies must step out with “rags” consisting of ma terials and fabrics from the assortment of knits, plush velvet to wet look leather to suede. The var ious styles are pant suits, midi and maxi coats and dresses and most of all, the one-piece jump suit. All of these styles are very becoming to the black women on our cam pus.

Ka-Esbia Phillips PRINCETON, N.J. — Newspapers,wire ser vices and television news departments increased starting salaries in 1970 more than the other media occupations according to the annual journalism employment survey by The Newspaper Fund. Public relations and ra dio news salaries declin ed over the same period. While journalism sal aries were generally on the rise in 1970, so were the number of journalism jobs available to college graduates. Media jobs in creased 13% in number over 1969, due mainly to a larger number of grad uates than in the previous year, according to The Fund. This increase would have been higher, except for a 1.5% decline in 1970 of the media’s share of the journalism grad uates. This decline con tributed to the substantial increase in the number of jobless graduates. Near ly one third of the Class of 1970 was reported as “married, traveling, no job, or unreported.” That accounts for a 60% in crease in the number of jobless journalism grad uates in one year. The increased jobless rate among journalism graduates was largely because of a 42.5% de cline in the nunber of stu dents entering graduate school, military service, and other non-journalism jobs. While jobless grad uates represented one third of the class, 42.1% of the graduates were hired in journalism re lated jobs. Weekly newspapers hired 26% more of the 1970 graduates than in the preceding year, and tele vision stations hired 21% Thalia action This year is flying like a jet plane in a flying contest.
