As a Navy pilot or flight officer, your desk can be a sophis ticated combination of supersonic jet air craft and advanced electronic equipment. But you can handle it. Because Navy flight training gives you the navigation, aerodynamics and other technical know-how you need. In return, Navy aviation demands something of you as an officer: Leadership. Your path to leadership starts with officer training that’s among the most demanding in the military. It’s intensive leadership and professional schooling combined with rigorous Navy flight training. And it’s all geared to prepare you and other college graduates for the unique challenge of Navy aviation. The program is tough but rewarding. One important reward for Navy officers is decision- experience and knowledge while working part-time for the center, in addition to their classes. The SBDC has thirteen offices throughout Pennsylvania. Capitol Campus’ office serves the seven county Harrisburg region, and with the other offices, is funded through the University of Pennsylvania. Through the SBDC, small businesses may seek professional counseling for no charge. Local r NAVY OPPORTUNITY W 343^ | INFORMATION CENTER ■ I P.O.

The SBDC also helps small businesses with setting up their inventories, record keep ing and reaching target goals. Two Capitol Campus students working as counselors for the SBDC are Marty Honegger, senior business major, and Sharon Dougherty, junior business major. “Next year we will be expan ding and plan to go with three student counselors,” said Annette Billingsley, SBDC Business Consultant. Dave Watkin, Assistant Pro fessor of Management and Co- Director of SBDC, said that on January 1, 1984, the SBDC will be placed under the Business Ad ministration Department. Presently, the small business management course uses students as consultants for the SBDC. Cases are selected from the SBDC with the goal of producing results in class. “It gives students a chance to see the pieces fit together,” said Watkin They work on the cases and then provide an in-class presentation to give their recommendations. “We request that the client be there for the presentation,” said Watkin. Having the client there re affirms the “real world” situa tion, according to Watkin. Clients then take the reports and implement those they wish into their business. The classroom is not the only place that student consulting takes place. There are incidents where community organizations come to the Business Department re questing help in research and marketing practices.

The Chamber of Commerce would like us to use students to conduct surveys of the factors in volved in opening a business in the area to help bring businesses here.
