0 no! Plea.se! Not him again!
The tenth call in two days! If he
keeps this up, you’ll die of a heart
attack from running up and down
the stairs or fall dead of exhaus
tion from leaping out of bed at
two A.M. to answer the phone. As
you creep blindly back into bed,
you wearily realize that you
must stop him from ruining your
health as well as your social life.
So you decide to put an end to
your obedient listening at two in
the morning before he decides to
actually ask you out. Having re
solved that he must go, you have
only to choose how to inform him
that his ardent attentions will find
no welcome with you. The alter
natives in solving this situation
eventually divide themselves into
two extremes. I call them the
Scarlet O’Hara avoidance tech
nique and the Honest Abe simple
reply, and in this war I choose to
side with Mr. Lincoln. However, I
cannot resist elaborating on Miss
O’Hara’s method of refusing an
ardent pursuer if it only serves
as a contrast to Honest Abe s ap
proach.
First we see Miss Scarlet s heri
tage rising to the occasion as she
resolves to successfully outrun her
devout follower. Her modus oper
and! is simple: when being
hunted, you must disappear, leav
ing a trail of excuses behind you.
(A lingering scent of what was
“almost” is sure to at least im
press the fellow when he talks to
others about you.) To substantiate
her indirect refusals the scheming
Scarlet enlists the aid of her clos
est friends, “Tell him I’m in the
shower; tell him I’m studying for
a test tomorrow; tell him I look
too awful to see him now; tell
him . . . etcetera, etcetera. Even
if the reported shower spans two
hours as the excuses become
more ridiculous, Miss O’Hara
sticks to her procrastinating meth
ods, believing that sooner or later
he will have to get the message.
And sooner or later he does, only
to move his incessant attentions to
another girl, but a girl with a
small difference. She is no Scarlet
O’Hara.
with the rewarding end result that
the guy will not only shift his
attentions to another girl, but will
also learn to temper his over
whelming attempts at acquain
tance.
Yes, even your stern patience
cannot withstand a continued and
prolonged assault. After all, you
only met him at a mixer the other
night, so where could he find a
reason for the innumerable and
frequent telephone calls? You re
solve: this bothersome eccentric
must be stopped. You decide to
deal with him immediately before
he becomes even more of a nui
sance.
So Honest Abe begins to plan
when and where to deliver the
stunning news to her anxious cal
ler. She decides to deal with the
poor misguided fellow in a sim
pler way than did Miss Scarlet,
creating less strain on any excuse
making machinery. She meets the
persistent pursuer face to ace
and asks him please not to disturb
her further as she is not inter
ested, and he is only wasting his
own time. The Honest Abe softens
a bit at the actual encounter and
she emphasizes the availability o
other more willing and more re
ceptive girls. She might as
sent to become his friend with the
understanding that friends may
call only once a week. Or she
might offer to get him another
date, providing she knows of some
equally desperate female. The im
pjrtant thing is to be honest
straightforward and unashamed
To choose between Scarlet and
Abe is to choose between silly de
ceit and respected honesty. The
complete Scarlet O’Hara person
ality lends itself to severe criti
cism by the majority of males in
instances such as the one I have
described, while the girl who
takes the stand of an Honest Abe
is at least remembered, if not
admired, for her honest regard for
another’s feelings. In following
Honest Abe’s example you are
free of the problem in a decisive
and final meeting. The only hope
a Scarlet has is that the situation
might finally disappear, as Sir
Galahad fades away in search of
a more receptive damsel.
In short, instead of avoiding the
inevitable, try confronting him.
New York, August 20th . . .Too
late, the majority of college grad
uates are discovering that it no
longer pays for them to go to col
lege. Most of them “aren’t likely
to get into graduate schools or
find jobs,” says investigative re
porter Roger Rapoport, who re
ports that 24% of all American
freshmen want to b e doctors,
lawyers or teachers because, “a-
gainst all evidence,” they believe
these professions are “secure.”
The cold facts of life after col
lege are frightening. According to
the Esquire study, 41,000 appli
cants are competing for 14,400
medical o p e n i ngs; 86,000 appli
cants are competing for 38,500
law-school openings (one top-
rated law school had 3,800 appli
cations for 290 places), “and
equivalent proportions of appli
cants to many other graduate pro
gram places.”
Presently, college graduates are
glutting the job market. The Am
erican Bar Association reports
that there were only “16,000 jobs
for the 29,000 lawyers admitted
to the bar last year.” Teachers
are even worse off. “Last year,
reports Esquire, “there were 117,-
000 positions available to the 231,-
000 certified elementary and sec
ondary-school t e a c h ers looking
for work.” One advertisement for
an assistant English professor’s
job at Missouri Southern Univer
sity drew 253 applications from
candidates at 101 different
schools. Apparently the worst is
yet to come.
Government studies predict that
for approximately 9.8 million col
lege graduates entering the labor
force during the 70’s “only 6.6
million jobs requiring more than
high school educations will be
available to them.” And accord
ing to The National Education
Association, by 1980 only one out
of every five Ph.D.s graduating
annually can expect to find uni
versity jobs.
Because of the scarcity of jobs
in their chosen fields, many qual
ified college graduates are forced
to take any available jobs. For
example, a number of Ph Ds re
cently graduated from Berkeley
are now “driving cabs, working
in ski shops and even scrubbing
floors,” says Esquire. It seems
that for most college graduates, a
diploma is a ticket to nowhere.
