Arts prepares more options By DIANA SIMS Daily Collegian Staff Writer Because of increasing concernsthala liberal arts degree will not be marketable, some departments in The 1 College of The Liberal Arts are adding options to their undergraduate program to better prepare students about to enter the job market. “We don’t want to leave students out in the cold,” said Alfred J. Le Blanc, assistant professor of French. To keep students from the cold, the French department offers a French : business option that trys to equip the student with more than one marketable skill, he said. •- With the number of American businesses with operations in foreign countries increasing, the'demand for employees who have both foreign language and business skills is also rising, Le Blanc said. French students graduating with the bachelor of science business option would be trained to speak and write French and would understand general business concepts, he said. Although the business courses are considered general overviews by some French-business majors, many think they will be helpful in finding a business-related job. “You can deal with business because you’ve had accounting, finance and marketing,” said Gabrielle Santos (lOth-French). “Businesses will look at the courses you’ve taken and say ‘we can train you. ’ ” French-business option majors are required to take 36 Anti-vandalism campaign planned An anti-vandalism campaign in-, eluding bumper stickers, buttons, and T shirts will soon be underway in the Centre Region. , . A community committee against vandalism accepted a proposal Monday from Ronald A. Shroyer, vice president of Barash Advertising Inc., for a multi-' media campaign developed around a logo design and anti-vandalism slogan. Funding for the campaign is expected t 6 come from various community and governmental sources. However, committee member J.

Since die business option was introduced in 1976, there has been a 25 percent increase in the number of students majoring in French, associate professor of French Thomas A. Hale said. “Most, if not all, of that increase is due to the business op tion,” he said. French-business majors have found positions with the National Security Agency; the Hunt Manufacturing Company, an import-export firm; and the State Farm Insurance Com pany. .The French department is hoping to implement a French business option at the graduate level, professor Richard L. Frautschi, head of the French department said. The graduate student would earn a master of arts degree in French and a master of science in business. The program is awaiting approval from the College of Business Ad ministration, he said. Other departments in the College of The Liberal Arts are following the French department’s lead in designing inter departmental programs. Professor Ernst Schurer, German department head, Said a German-business option modeled after the French program' has been developed but awaits approval from the College of Business Administration before the University Faculty-Senate will vote on its initiation. Dershimer said a possible logo contest is being planned for the elementary schools in an effort to get more young people involved. “We want to get as many people, in volved in this as we can,” he said. “Because if you think about it, every citizen is a victim of vandalism.” —by Scott Hileman HOMECOMING ’79 through Monday, ... .:. , . . . ... . . ... .
