See Financial Aid Reminders on Page 5 "about Your Career Search: Choices Ahead by Carl Vairo Is it possible to find employ- ment in today’s highly com- petitive job market with a degree in liberal arts? Which jobs are open to liberal arts graduates? Which liberal arts majors offer the best employ- ment opportunities? The answer to these and other questions will be answered at the Delaware County Campus’ fisrt career day - “Your Career Search: Choices Ahead,” on Wednes- day, April 28, at 11 a.m. in room 112 of the Library/Learn- ing Center. On hand will be Penn State alumni from the College of Liberal Arts who are now employed in business, social services, the legal field, govern- ment, and communications. This program is not intended exclusively for liberal arts students; ALL students can benefit from it, especially those who are unsure of their career goals, or those who are con- sidering a change of major. Students who attend will be given the opportunity to ask questions about the occupa- tions of their interest and learn first-hand about the proper background needed to obtain specific career goals. An impor- tant part of the career decision- making process is obtaining ac- curate information about oc- cupations. So take advantage of this opportunity and attend; you owe it to yourself and to the alumni speakers who are taking time out of their busy schedules to meet with you. This program is being sponsored by the Col- lege of the Liberal Arts and the Career Development and Place- ment Center.

Information supplied by The Committee of Seventy The following is sponsored by the Black Student League It’s time for more protest . . . In recent years, minority opi- nion has been expressed and demonstrated in both violent and nonviolent means. Ex- amples of this would be the peace marches of the 1960s and the even more recent Miami riots. Violent protest can never be condoned by any organiza- tion or government. But never- theless protest which are non- violent must be used to insure that the feelings of the sur- pressed or displeased are known by the general public and to insure that injustices are corrected. Recently a campaign to cor- rect the discriminating policies of . Coca Cola (Phila. Distributing Bureau) has been launched in Philadelphia and surrounding areas. The follow- ing figures demonstrate this trend of Coca Cola: 1. 650 employees of which 8% are black; 2. Only 1 black in managers position; 3. And less than one tenth of one percent of its outside needs are done with blacks. The Black Student League is asking for nonviolent protest against these practices, and requests that the students do not purchase Coca Cola or these related products: Fresca, Tab, Sprite, Mr. Pibb, Mello Yellow, Fanta beverages, Dr. Pepper, Hi-C, Sunny Delight, Florida Citrus Punch, Sunny Delight Concord Grape Punch, Manischewitz, Lipton Tea, Welches and Canada Dry Brand soft drinks. Thank you for your coopera- tion in this matter. — Bernard Bozeman Pres. Place Student League 4 hi
