Special To The Post New York - Finding a career opportunity in the corporate world can be one of the most challenging experiences today’s black college graduates will face. Often com panies will not hire college grad uates because they lack job experi ence, and without an actual corpor ate job, graduates cannot hope to gain the needed experience. How do you break this cycle between class room and the world of work, and how • does business and industry con currently fill their job openings with new, energetic and qualified minority talent? Thanks to Pepsi-Cola s Minority Intern Program - now in its third year - college students are offered the opportunity to gain marketable skills and exposure to the business ' world while earning a competitive salary. Not only do college students get hands-on experience during this ... unique summer program, it also benefits the Pepsi-Cola Company. “During the student’s internship, the company has a chance to assess his or her skills and future man agement potential,” explains Susan Poland, manager of campus re cruiting, Pepsi-Cola USA. “It’s be . . a 1 •. , come a valuable minority recruit ment source; so far, we have hired six students as full-time employ ees.” This summer, 50 minority college students, from more than 30 col leges and universities, eight of which are predominantly black schools, are participating in the program. Kim Brown, for example, a senior statistics major at Harvard, has participated in the corporate intern program three times in different areas. “What I enjoy most about this job is the exposure to different people in my field,” says Brown, who is working in Pepsi’s franchise development department and is compiling an information fact book on all Pepsi franchises. To be eligible for the 13-week Pepsi-Cola Minority Internship Program, students must have com pleted their sophomore year and have demonstrated academic excel lence and leadership skills. Interns accepted for the program are first enrolled in a company orientation program covering system-wide ope rations and are then assigned to one of many functional areas, ranging from sales and manufacturing to fi nance and personnel. Fire Detriment Distributes Smoke Detectors The Charlotte Fire Department is in the process of canvassing low to moderate Income neighborhoods in Charlotte for the purpose of in stalling smoke detectors in these homes. For a month now, the CFD has been giving smoke detectors to a qualifying household. Already 1,000 have been distributed. Capt. Donnie Leak replied that there are a total of 11,000 smoke detectors to be given away. In reaching the public the crew at the fire department has been going door-to-door. All that is required is to have a fire smoke detector in one’s home is that one meet certain income levels, tally the numbers of persons in a house hold and give social security numbers. To qualify a family of one must make no more than $15,900 annually; a family of two-918,150, a family of three-920,450, a family of four-822,700, a family of five 924,100, a family of six-925,0650, a family of seven-926,950 and a family of eight-928,400. When the smoke detectors are installed, fire officials will show how detectors are maintained. They are also giving a small demonstration on home escape routes. For more information on this project, contact Capt. Leak at 336-2697 from 2-6 p.m., weekdays. For Effective Advertising I At An Affordable CoSt.L. Call QtiHlad...

Last year, the company awarded 18 such scholar ships. The Pepsi-Cola Company has long been a leader in minority support programs and initiatives including its Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Program which targets company purchases to minority owned businesses, strong financial and advisory support to black col leges and universities through the National Association of Equal Op portunities in Higher Education (NAFEO), as well as pioneering the first public celebration of minority achievers with the “Adventure in Negro History” album in 1963.

Department of Agricul ture. By law, USDA is required to study the effect of food distribu tion on commercial markets. Since cheese and butter account for 80 to 85 percent of the dollar value of food distributed, the study focused on those commodities. Since 1982, $3.4 billion worth of food has been given to states for distribution to low-income families bUU r Based on the 40 percent rate of displacement found in cheese distributions, the USDA report concludes that approximately $230 million worth of additional cheese was purchased by the government under the Dairy Price Support Program because of the distribution. The Dairy Price Support Program requires USDA to purchase enough amounts ot cheese and certain other dairy products necessary to keep milk prices up to a specified level Butter distributions cause reductions in margarine sales. According to the report, margarine sales decreased by about 95 mil lion pounds because of butter distribution. RUSSELL, SHELLY & HOLLINGSWORTH Attorneys At Law \ ernon A. Russell - Michael A.
