METEOROLOGY FOR A
CAREER
The December-January 1962
COLLEGE BOUND JOURNAL
is on Meteorologists. It Is an
excellent article describing
the work, salaries, and
training programs. It also lists
degree programs in
meteorology. It states that
employment opportunities for
meteorologists are excellent
since the number of those
graduating remains small
(fewer than 600 a year for all
degree levels) while the
demand, especiaiiy In private
industry, grows. The number
of women meteorologists Is
very small - only 3 percent of
the total force of 9,000. The
median salary for all
meteorologists in 1981 was
$33,000.

Party, which is opposed to
Britain’s effective
participation in NATO, or a
coalition government
including the new Social
Democratic Party and even
some moderate conservatives,
a combination whose outlook
on defense is cloudy at best.
But neither would a
humiliation of Argentina be In
the best interests of the
United States. Even a
resurgent Britain would not
wish to keep significant naval
forces In the South Atlantic.
The Argentine Navy, however,
is large enough to play a
significant role for the West in
this oft-neglected region. An
Argentine setback would
probably topple the curt-ent
military government and end
in an even more repressive
nationalistic reglme~or in a
violait revolution that would
bring to power a leftist, anti-'
American government.
This would hamstring the
Reagan Administration's
efforts to strengthen its ties
with pro-American military
governments in Latin
America. Already Argentina
has become one of
Washington’s strongest
supporters in El Salvador.
W6re this not enough, one
must also consider the
regional Implications of a war
between Argentina and
Britain. Chile, which has long
been at loggerheads with the
Argentines over the disputed
Beagle Channel Islands,
might feel compelled to enter
the conflict. Bolivia and Peru
might then decide to settle old
scores with Chile. Brazil
would then have to decide
whether it ought to Interwne
on behalf of Chile in order to
maintain Its dominant
position on the continent.
Such a regional conflagration
Is surely not In the interests of
an American already hard-
pressed In the Western
Hemisphere.
The best, if not the idea^
solution for the United States
would be a negotiated
settlement. To date. Secretary
of State Alexander Haig has
been shuttling between the
two antagonists In an effort to
achieve precisely that, but
with diminishing hope of
success. If a war does break
out, Washington must do its
best to ensure that the conflict
does not become a regional
one. But In the end, if forced
to choose, the Reagan
Administration cannot allow
Britain to lose. Too rnuch Is at
stake. The cause of America’s
most loyal aliy, and the
principles of international law,
cannot be sacrificed on the
altar of hemispheric
solidarity.
It Is never easy to pick
favorites bet^feen friends, and
perhaps the United States will
not be required to do so. But
the worst mistaje is often to
play no favorites and then to
discover that one has no allies
at all.

MY DINNER WITH ANDRE: A
CHARADE

Is. I can’t help but think that
when he got back home he
either could not remember
what he said or thought It was
stupid, just a charade played
before a captive audience.
One of the few significant
lines of the nxwle occurred
when one of the men says that
hopeless plays leave the
audience with a hopeless
feeling, but the Impact of a
play on an audience should be
to bring it to life instead of
deadening it. Apparently this
criterion does not apply to
films because this film
succeeded in deadening, or at
least putting to sleep this
member of Its audience.

summary, he stressed
program approval and sales
support.
Overall, Mr. Rendal
presented the Business Policy
Class with some interesting
information. The featured
speaker on April 8, turned out
to t>e just as interesting.
On Thursday, Dr. G. David
Hughes addressed a crowd of
over fifty Meredith students,
primarily business majors.
His topic was “Micro*.
Computers and Marketing
Organizations of the Future."
Dr. Hughes, a Professor of
Marketing at the University of
Chapel Hill, received his
M.B.A. from the Wharton
School and his Ph.D. from thie
University of Pennsylvania.
His areas of specialization
include consumer behavior,
planning, and public policy.
His business experience
includes a variety of
consulting jobs with a quite
diverse list of institutions:
Federal Trade Commission,
Budget Office of North
Carolina, General Electric,
General Motors, Meade
Corporation, Gregory Poole,
and North Carolina Menrnrlal
Hospital. During his career he
has written five books, the
latest being “Marketing
Management: A Planning
Approach” • this text is used
in the advanced marlteting
class taught at Meredith.
Dr. Hughes’ presentation
was more of a demonstration
than a lecture. He brought his
own Apple II Portable
Computer in order to show
students how useful
computers are in business. In
the field of micro'^mputers
Dr. Hughes Is self-taught, and
because of this he stressed
the increasing simplicity of
operating computers using
pre-packaged programs. Dr.
Hughes pointed out how
adaptable computers are for
small and large businesses
and their use In the home as
well. One of the students of
the Business Policy Class,
Dolores Childers, cr^ited Dr.
Hughes with a good sense of
humor that added greatly to
the appeal of his presentation.
Sproial thanks to both Mr.
FWtdal and Dr. Hughes for
sharing their time and
knowledge with the Meredith
students.
