Female axicab Driver
Idella Ancarana is one Uni
versity coed who doesn't mind
being whistled at. In fact, she
has no objections to picking up
complete strangers and taking
them for a ride.
But then, Miss Ancarana is
the first coed taxi-cab driver to
hit these parts.
"It's a wonderful experi
ence," she said. "People are
really nice to me. At first they
don't seem very sure they arc
seeing right, and I think they're
a little skeptical of my driving
when we begin. Thej , all -ask
me how I ever got a job like
this and do I like it?"
A senior majoring in general
arts and sciences, but who
wants to become a veterinar
ian, Miss Ancarana has created
something of a bandwagon ef
fect by her entry into the field.
Since she started driving cab
a month ago, two other coeds
have applied for jobs.
Leroy Toney, owner of the
cpb service and president of
the Pennsylvania Taxicab As
sociation, says customer re
action to Della— as her friends
call her—"has been terrific."
"I've been told so—rn aa y
times since she started," said
Toney. "She goes out of her
way to help a customer, and
she's a great driver."
Recently during a snow and
ice storm, she had a call five
miles away over bac' roads.
She was about an hour late

cause several trucks had jack
knifed across the road. But she
got through where even sea
soned truck drivers failed.
Miss Ancarana has been
driving since she was 16 yearS
old when her mother taught
her. "I think I was a pretty
lousy driver that first year,"
she recalled.
Last summer, as a part-time
job, she worked with horses at
a stable near her hometown of
McKeesport where she picked
up the art of driving a tractor,
a jeep and a four-horse trailer.
She recalled walking into
the taxicab office and asking
for a job—which took some
spunk since she knew the
names of only six streets in
State College at the time.
"They thought I was apply
ing for a job as receptionist.
When I told them I wanted to
drive a cab, I think I kind of
startled them," Miss Ancarana
said.
She admited she was "pretty
scared" the first time out alone
and had to ask customers for
advice on streets. "But no
one seemed to mind."
She selected cab-driving over
"normal" coed jobs like baby
sitting and waitress work be
cause she likes driving, being
outdoors, and meeting different
people. "This gives you a
chance to meet people of all
ages and hear what the have

that Miss Ancarana won't have
to lift heavy trunks or lug
large orders of groceries.
"But it's funny," she said.
"Men usually won't let me lift
their suitcases. I guess they
feel funny standing there while
I lift them. But I don't mind."
Miss Ancarana spends about
18 hours a week on the job,
mostly on Thursdays, Satur
days, and Sundays. On an aver
age day she logs 30 to 40 calls
and drives about 150 miles. And
the work hasn't cut into her
class work. "I'm making better
grades now than ever before."
But as much as she likes
riding a cab, she'd prefer
riding a horse. She's using her
earnings for her own spending
money and hopes to save
enough so she can eventually
have a horse, possibly by
spring.
Her love for horses is also a
big reason for he* desire to
be at veterinarian. Last sum

ian while he performed an eye
operation on a horse and from
that time, she says, she knew
what her life goal would be.

State Leaders to Discuss
Administration of Justice
Key administrators from agencies and
institutions in Pennsylvania that are con
cerned with the administration of justice
will convene at the University Jan, 21-23 to
formulate policy guidelines and programs of
in-service training for Commonwealth per
sonnel engaged in correctional work.
The program, funded in part by the U.S.
Department of Justice, is sponsored by the
Center for Law Enforcement and Corrections,
College of Human Development, under the
University's Continuing Education program.
The three-day "Executives' Workshop of
the Pennsylvania Adult Correction Training
Institutions," abbreviated as "PACT," was
prompted by the need for correctional per
sonnel inall phases of the work to under
stand not only their particular tasks, but
also the interaction of the roles of all
agencies involved in the administration of
justice.
"Offenders routinely are dealt with by
personnel in the many branches of the cor
rectional system," said Charles L. Newman,
head of the Center for Law Enforcement and
Corrections. "It becomes mandatory, there
fore, for career correctional persons to have
some understanding of the interaction of the
entire system if they are to comprehend and
change the offender's disturbed relationship
with his society.
The workshop will open Sunday after
noon, Jan. 21, with orientation and briefing
sessions conducted by Newman; Jay Camp
bell, assistant professor of law enforcement
and corrections; and William H. Parsonage,
instructor in that department.

Executive Suites
WASHINGTON (AP) A
series of government reports
shows that whatever may have
been done to end employment
discrimination on the lower
levels, the key to the executive
suite is still tagged mainly for
the white, Anglo-Saxon Chris
tian.
The reports, by the Equal
Employment Opportunity Com
mission, are to be made public
at hearings in New York City
next week. The hearings were
called to explore employment
discrimination on the white col
lar level in some of the nation's
largest businesses.
This is the first time in the
commission's 2 1 / 2 -year history
that it has moved primarily
into big business white collar
employment, although it tack
led drug industry discrimina
tion last fall.
To Hold Hearings
The commission has pre
pared at least . four reports to
back up its findings, and is pre
pared to listen to industry rep
resentatives explain what they
have done to try to eliminate
racial, religious and sexual
discrimination in employment.
The commission studies are

based on data which employ
ers were required by law to
submit concerning their em
ployment patterns in 1966 and
1967. The reports are focused
on New York City.
One report details the em
ployment patterns of 100 major
New York City corporations—
and these firms, while head
quartered in New York City,
account for nearly 16 per cent
of the nation's total output of
goods and services and employ
about 10 per cent of the 26
million persons covered under
the commission's employment
reporting system. The report
covers, however, only their
New York operations.
Many Faceted
Separate reports cover the fi
nancial industry—banks, insur
ance companies, brokerage
firms—and fie communica
tions industry: advertising,
book publishing, newspapers,
magazines, radio and televi
sion.
There also is a report deal
ing with charges of discrimina
tion against Jews in top level
management.
Although th e commission
would not release the reports
prior to the hearings, sources
indicated these are some of the
findings:
• Although the New York
City population is about 18 per
cent Negro, and its total work
force is 8.3 per cent Negro,
among the firms reporting to
the commission, Negroes rep
resented only 6.7 per cent of
white collar employment in
banking and 5.9 per cent in in
surance. Puerto Ricans, at 10
per cent of the population, held

night banquet at the Nittany Lion Inn will
be Joseph J. Kelley, Jr., secretary to the
Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsyl
vania, who will discuss "The Administra
tion's Awareness of and Support for Training
in the Administration of Justice."
The workshop program includes several
speakers, talks by correctional experts and
resource persons and a series of seminars—
all of which have been designed to enable
the production of a report during the course
of the institute. The report will specify policy
guidelines for an inter-agency correctional
training program for personnel who work
directly with offenders.
Results of the meetings will lay the
groundwork for a series of intensive PACT
workshops to be held at University Park and
other locations throughout the State.
Other conference speakers include: E.
Preston Sharp, general secretary of the
American Correctional Association; Daniel B.
Michie, Jr., chairman of the Advisory Board
to the Pennsylvania State Board of Proba
tions and Parole; William G. Nagel, executive
director of the Governor's Council for Human

these posts are at the clerical

the 100 major companies head

leadership role with leadership

ty." Negroes held only 2.6 per
cent of their white collar jobs,
and Puerto Ricans two per

large resources which would
make it possible to recruit on
a broad scale, they "are, in
fact, the laggard:.."

better oportunities at all levels
than do the 100 largest corpora
tions.
eThe commission found that
the city's Jewish population—
New York City is above one
quarter Jewish—is under-uti
lized at the management level
in all industries, and its tiny
representation among corpo
rate executives contrasts sharp
ly with the high educational
level of the Jewish community.
Jews account for about half
