Rob Hinton -Personal life suffer* Hinton Isn’t Just Another WRET-TV News Reporter? By Teresa Burns Post Staff Writer Rob Hinton isn't just another WRET-TV news reporter. He is also an accomplished pianist of both classical and pop music. “I love piano and do it pretty much as a hobby. I release tension and frustrations this way," he said. Hinton is 26 and still single. He says he stays that way because of the “business.” “You have to be open for mobility in this type of job. I think personal lives suffer * moving every 3 or 4 years, sometimes people with famil ies don’t like to uproute." Hinton recently moved from Houston, Texas and states that as far as media jobs are concerned, Char lotte is a better place to be than in Houston. “There are more Blacks here per population. It’s a good market for Blacks to start in and the chances of staying and getting promoted arc greater here than in Houston." For four years, Hinton has re ported in either the radio or television media. ...

Whereas in televis ion, I do two or three assignments per day and spend most of the day covering the assignments. If I don’t take time to catch our news cast or read the newspaper, I miss out on keeping abreast on what’s happening.” as lar as advice goes, Hinton says, “You can’t be in this business for money - it takes a while.” "The glamour may be there but initially there’s not a lot of money. It’s not a stahle career and it’s very Competitive. You have to be eood at what you do.” ■ More Black Graduates Eye Business Studies A new trend is emerging at predominantly Black colleges and universities which will significantly increase the number of Black college graduates qualified for jobs in the business sector The 1979 annual statistical report just released by the United Negro College Fund Inc. reports that business is the most popular field of study at the UNCF's 41 private, predominantly Black colleges! Business majors accounted for almost one-quarter of the degrees granted in 1978. a dramatic increase over a decade ago when less than seven percent graduates received business degrees. “Our students are looking at opportunities in the job market and are making very sophisticated choices about their futures,” said Christopher F. Edley, executive director of the United Negro College Fund, "business recruiters are I r~’ = confirming the wisdom of these choices because they hire a large number of UNCF graduates right out of school.” The annual statistical report is pro duced by the United Negro College Fund’s director of research, Alan Kirshner. Only 10 years ago, the most sought-after major at private Black colleges was education (over 40 percent of all baccalaureate degrees in 1969-70). By 1978, teaching had dropped to second place behind business. Other majors quickly gaining popularity, reports the study, are engineering (through 26 dual-degree engineering programs), health and medicine, chemistry and communications. Providing facilities, publications, and faculty for these newly popular majors has not been easy. The financial resources necessary to create or transform academic . departments in a short amount of time are scarce at private Black colleges. According to the UNCF report, the average revenue for a private Black college in 1977-78 was slightly over $6.2 million But UNCF schools had to rely on sources other than tuition for the bulk of that income. “In 1975-76, the most recent year for which data are available, the nation's small private colleges received 63 percent of their revenue from tuition. In comparison, the largest share of tuition revenue at private Black colleges in recent years was 37.8 percent in 1977-78," the report explained. Tuition resources at UNCF schools are low because the financial resources of their students are minimal. For instance, in 1978, over half the applicants to UNCF colleges came “from families whose annual parental incomes were less than $9,000, compared to only 13 7 percent of college-bound seniors nationally.'' Only five percent of prospective UNCF freshmen come from families with annual incomes of $30,000 or more. Even more to the point, "median expected parental contribution of prospective UNCF freshmen was $380’’ in 1978, compared with college bound seniors nationally whose median parental contribution was expected to be $1140. The results of this inequity is that UNCF colleges and universities rely more on private contributions to balance their budgets than do small private colleges nationally. In 1977-78, private gifts and grants accounted for 19.1 percent of total revenues at the private predomi nantly-Black colleges In 1975-76 (the latest year for ^ which figures were available), only ^ 16 percent of revenues at small private colleges nationally were derived from similar Rifts. - -1 AVAILABLE IN THF.SF.
