Professor: Degree
brings in the bucks
By LAURA VIANI
Collegian Staff Writer
An associate degree increases in
come by 20 percent more than a high
school degree, according to a recent
study by I.A. Ghazalah, professor of
economics at Ohio University.
People with associate degrees are
in demand because their degree gives
them more technical training than a
high-school education, he said. Gha
zalah said many people work for a
while and then realize the benefits of
an associate degree. The average age
of people in the study was 28, he said.
At Penn State, the number of peo
ple enrolled in associate degree pro
grams has increased. This year, 3,546
have enrolled in the associate degree
programs, as compared to last year's
3,369 an increase of 5.3 percent.
University Assistant Vice-Presi
dent E.J. Greskovich, who is in
charge of associate degrees in engi
neering technology, said the increase
at the University may be due to
recruitment.
Methods of recruitment include the
use of videotapes. correspondence
with high school counselors and up
dating brochures.

"Many people aren't aware of (the
associate degree programs), so we
are embarking on a marketing pro
gram to help people become more
aware. - he said.
The three types of associate de
grees offered at the University
arts, engineering, and science re
quire four semsters for completion.
They are offered through the col
leges, but are designed differently
than the baccalaureate degrees,
Greskovich said.
"These programs are meant for
students with more practical, hands
on ability," Greskovich stated.
For example, he said, engineering
students can get their bachelor's and
master's degrees at some school
without much laboratory experience,
emphasizing the theoretical implica
tions of engineering. This leaves a
hole in the market for people with
technological experience, allowing
associate degree graduates to fill the
positions of technicians.
Since these programs are techni
cally oriented, they are organized
around market and economy needs.
Degree majors can be created or
eliminated according to market ne
cessity, he said.

newspaper over the summer, looking for pregnant
women who wanted to give up their babies to "a
loving couple who wants to adopt."
"The ad suggests it's a loving couple placing this
ad and to call this number. When you call the
number you get Mr. Gitelman or an answering
service," Pruss said.
Pruss said Gitelman charged fees of $lO,OOO to
$30.000 to locate a baby. The prospective adoptive
parents were responsible for the mother's living
and medical expenses, transportation costs and
out-of-pocket expenses.
