r Outward Boumf National 0«lc« 384 FieW Point Ro«l Greenwich. CT 06830 (203)661-0797 For information call toll-free- (80(9 243-^520 ixcept in Connacticut) Ottl^itl Bound"Vbs I can.” Compaaa Over 8,000 men and women, both adults and students, will take part in a unique program called “Outwards Bound” this year. Designed so that participants will meet challenging experiences in wilderness settings, Outward Bound courses take place year-round in sixteen states. While many come to Outward seeking a taste of high ad- venture--and they’ll probably get it--most will leave with a new understanding of themselves after discovering they are capable of doing things they might previously have thought “impossible.” Outward Bound believes may limits are self-imposed. Mountain backpacking, canoeing, skiing and snowshoeing, sailing, kayaking, cycling, rafting, and even dogsledding form the core of the Outward Bound experience, depending on the environment in which the course takes place. Previous outdoor skills are unnecessary, as is special equipment other than per sonal clothing and boots. Each small group of students has one or more expert in structors and specialists who help them develop outdoor and interpersonal skills, culminating in a “final ex pedition,” with minimal instructor supervision, relying on what they have learned during the course. Academic credit is often available, as is financial aid aased on need. In addition, several Outward Bound schools offer no-interest tuition loan plans, some for up to three years. Outward Bound courses are offered year-round and last from 4 to 30 days.

Consider Outward Bound- for extra semester hours. by Jeanne Rutledge Look into the future. Sophomores. Juniors. Seniors and see where your degree will take you after college. Start now by knowing what will be expected of you by prospec tive employers. According to Mr. Steven Rhinehartsen of Career Planning and Placement there are a few facts that employers look for in potential employees. First, “You should hold a grade point average of at least 3.0” (You can do it!) “Substantial activities in leadership roles and ac complishing roles impress employers.” said Rhinehartsen. (Go for it!) Competition is stiff and by preparing yourself now you will reduce the number of unwelcome surprises once you graduate and look for work. It is also important to know how much money your entry- level job will pay. Will you be able to support yourself and afford a car, house and all of the things you want? For example, having a Biology degree will usually lead to an entry-level job as a lab technician. How much money the latter makes and how long it will take for advancement should be questions answered now. Often the better positions require a higher degree. Find out and be prepared. If you are graduating this year, go out and start talking to em ployers now; make contacts and leave resumes. See what em ployers will expect of you. Coaching and practice in in terview situations are available to students at the Career Plan ning and Placement Office. Upon request, an interview can be recorded on videotape which will enable you to evaluate your own performance. Workshops, career information, and guidance are also offered. Good luck is not enough to get the job you want. Be prepared; the job market is full of very good people; make yourself better. The posssibility of having to re locate should be a major con sideration. “Go to where the better job is...think big,” states Rhinehartsen. Talk to professors in various departments and see what is going on, and see if you would feel more comfortable in another field of study,” suggests Rhinehartsen. This is important because if your field of study is overloaded in the job market you may want to change while you still have time, unless of course you have already made some reliable contacts. Get experience even if you have to do it without pay. Having a degree will often not be enough. Students asking for information will often find “businesses are very receptive,” said Rhinehartsen. Band determined to get uniforms. by R.J. Walker On Sunday Morning October 16 at 12:00 a.m. The Marching Vikings kicked off another fund raiser for uniforms. The event was a skating party at the Spinning Wheels Skating Rink. The fast moving fund raiser appeared to be quite successful. The event had a huge turnout. There were so many students present that there weren’t enough skates to go around. Students showed many signs of enthuisiam as they swished and dashed up and down the rink.Very popular soul hits were played on a turntable by the band. Everyone seemed to enjoy the music just as good as the skating. Admission to the skating party was $1.50 per student and $.75 for football players and band members. A large majority of students drove their own vehicles. The band supplied transportation for students that didn’t have vehicles. Believe it or not but the person who drove the van was “Mr. Bandman” him self, Mr. McElroy. Not only is the band detemined on the field, but off the field as well. The members of the Marching Vikings have once again illustrated that they do possess the Viking Spirit and know how to apply it. To you Marching Vikings I say, the new uniforms are only a “Skate” away. Special Note to Tony Lewis To T(Miy of the famous drum sectioQ, “Poison.” The Marching Vikings, The COMPASS stafi, and the entire University Family wishes you a speedy recovery. Remember there cannot be poison without the main ingredients. Take Care and Get Well Soon The 1984 Postdoctoral, Residents, and Cooperative Research Programs The National Research Coimcil annoimces the 1984 Postdoctoral, Residents, and Cooperative Research Associateship Programs for research in the sciences and engineering to be conducted in behalf of 19 federal agencies or research in stitutions, whose laboratories are located throughout the United States. The programs provide Ph.D. scientists and engineers of unusual promise and ability with opportimities to perform research on problems largely of their own choosing yet compatible with the reasearch interests of the supporting laboratory. Initiated in 1954, tlie Associateship Programs have contributed to the career development of over 3800 scientists ranging from recent Ph.D. recipients to distinguished senior scien tists. Approximately 250 new full time associateships will be awarded on a comptetitive basis in 1984 for research in chemistry, engineering, and mathematics, and in the earth, environmental, physical, space, and life sciences. Most of the programs are open to both U.S. and non-U.S. nationals, and to both recent Ph.D. degree holders and senior investigators. Awards are made for one or two years; senior applicants who have held the doctorate at least five years may request shorter tenures. Stipends for the 1984 program year will range from $24,500 a year for recent Ph.D.s up to approximately $50,000 a year for senior associates, a stipend supplenent up to $5,000 may be availab ble to regular (not senior) awar dees holding recognized doctoral degrees in those disciplines wherein the nub ber of degrees conferred by US graduate schools is significantly below the current demand. In the 1983 program year these areas have been engineering, computer science, space- related biomedical science, and petroleum-related earth sciences. Reimbursement is provided for allowable relocation costs and for limited professional travel during tenure. The host laboratory provides the associate with programmatic assistance including facilities, support services, necessary equipment, and travel necessary for the conduct of the approved research program. Applications to the National Research Council must be- postmarked no later than January 15, 1984. Initial awards will be announced in March and April followed by awards to alternates later.
