Spring Graduates To Face NEW YORK Job pros- !cts for students who graduate [from college this spring are the ist in four years, but the future lay continue to present prob- kns, the Carnegie Commission on iigher Education said today. I “Although the short-term crisis phasing out, the long-run Ituation still deserves careful ludy,” the commission said in pleasing a new report on college raduates and the job market. game willfefl The report said the job market 'diraedei H David l| 1 shortstop le (.382) w|| ‘I will ^ Jim Hat] Ktinarz (j i'eader begimk %er Fiddl for college graduates in both 1972 and 1973 made it clear that the poor employment prospects fac ing college graduates in 1970 and 1972 were in large part associ ated with the economic recession of those years. But the impact of economic recovery could be blunted during the remainder of the decade by a surplus of college-educated per sons, if adjustments are not made, the commission said. “The realistic problem for the 1970s may be the necesstiy for the absorption of some college- educated persons into jobs which have not been traditionally filled by persons with a college educa tion,” the commission said. Assessing individual occupa tions in the 1970s, the commission said prospects for teachers and college faculty members were dim, while employment prospects were bright for health care per sonnel and managers generally. It also said employment oppor tunities for computer operators, office machine operators and Good Job Opportunities recreation workers would go up steadily, and that prospects for engineers would go up and down. The commission said that while job prospects for women would be reduced because of fewer teaching opportunities than in the past, they would be enhanced by more opportunities in h e a 1 t h care. “College-educated black women will be among the most favored prospective employes in all fields, as employers seek to make adjust ments to achieve greater repre sentation of minorities on their payrolls,” the commission added. Official government predic tions of major surpluses of college-educated persons, as well as the recent experience of college graduates searching for jobs have highlighted recent concern about the labor market prospects for college-educated persons. Clark Kerr, chairman of the Carnegie Commission, said that between now and 1980 some 75 per cent of the college-educated persons entering the labor mar ket would be filling positions vacated by other college-educated persons or would assume posi tions in expanding occupations that already have high demands for college-educated personnel. Of the remaining 25 per cent, about half would find positions that have been or can be educa tionally upgraded to make use of a college education, he said. How ever, the other half would need to accept positions that do not lend themselves to such upgrad ing, Kerr said.

It provides that the disarming will J Banking is a pleasure at First | Bank & Trust. Adv. be implemented by government law enforcement officers with the cooperation of the AIM leadership. Means called the occupation “a minor preliminary victory. The real victory will be when the traditional chiefs and head men of the Sioux tribes meet with representatives of the White House.” He called the agreement “a small victory in the Indian war with the United States over our treaty rights.” Asst. U.S. Atty. Gen. Kent Frizzell, who signed the agree ment for the government, said, “I don’t think any great victory has been won by anyone at Wounded Knee. I think we have all learned something here and now hope we will go on and im prove conditions between whites and Indians. I think what we have learned is that all of us have failed in the past to live up to our agreements. We’re going to do a better job in the future to see that these agreements are kept.” Frizzell said the truce does not provide for amnesty for anyone connected with the takeover. “All persons for whom warrants are outstanding will be arrested,” he said. The agreement was signed by three American Indian Movement leaders, Means, Clyde Bellecourt and Carter Camp; by Pedro Bis- onnette, vice president of the Oglala Sioux Civil Rights Or ganization, and by Chief Tom Bad Cobb, a traditional Oglala Sioux chief. Randy Ross found himself grin ning ear to ear Thursday night while directing his last meeting of the Student Senate while a red-faced, tight-lipped T. Mark Blakemore sat in the back of the Senate’s meeting room in the Zachry Engineering Center. Why the two opposite faces ? Ross won the race for president of A&M’s Student Government by a 316-vote margin over Blake more in runoff elections. The final tally was 1,322 votes for Ross, 1,006 for Blakemore. An even closer race was won by Shariq Yosufzai over oppon ent Mark Fitte. Yosufzai escaped defeat by a narrow 49-vote mar gin. Yosufzai collected 1,194 votes to Fitte’s 1,145. Curt Marsh outdistanced Bob Welch in the election for Rules and Regulations Committee chairman, Marsh getting 1,097 votes to Welch’s 898. The other races went as fol lows: OFF-CAMPUS SENATOR (7) Graduate Linda Kay Goss—39 Floyd Severs—38 Herman Todd—35 Michael Pierson—35 Berryl McKinnerney—30 Delbert Towell—30 Michael Bunch—28 Dale Foster—24 RHA Week Starts Monday Resident Hall Association Week activities begin Monday and will be topped off with a Saturday night performance by “Flash Cad illac” and John Hartford.

The six-hour meeting brought forth the fact that Shariq Yo sufzai (Mclnnis - Schumacher), incoming vice president, was among the 37 senators approving the measure in a roll call vote. Twenty-nine senators opposed the measure. The plan, presented by Ron Miori (Grad.-Bus.), calls for each student taking nine or more academic hours to pay an $18 Student Services fee. This fee, along with a possible $15 separate hospital fee for next year, would add six dollars per year to the cost the student is paying now. The “Miori” plan, as it was called in the Senate, will allocate $170,000 to the athletic depart ment and an additional $50,000 to intramurals. The allocations total $610,529.40 including $30,- 529.40 in the reserve. Five other plans were offered as alternatives to the Senate, in cluding a $15 fee which would By LARRY MARSHALL Dunn Hall President John Shepherd announced Thursday night that his hall council had voted not to pay its dues to the Residence Hall Association. Shepherd said that the Dunn constitution stated that all ex penditures over $50 be approved by the hall council, and it had voted not to spend the $210 spe cified as dues. This action is in direct conflict with the recently adopted RHA Constitution which was ratified, except for funding procedures, by three-fourths of the residence halls. “Right-off-the-bat, this move is unconstitutional because the RHA constitution supercedes all hall constitutions,” Blakemore corn- commented. In presenting his argument. Shepherd cited the relative lack of control he had over determin- charge a $2 fee for students to attend home football games. The $2 ticket would generate approximately $80,000 to the ath letic department along with the $100,000 allocated under this proposal. Arguments for a user fee in cluded that not all students attend athletic functions and therefore should not be forced to pay for them. Paul Turner (Grad-L.A.) pointed out most other programs have a user fee and “there is no reason why the athletic depart ing where and how the money was spent by the RHA, of which he is a member. He also said that Dracula Cast Announced A&M’s Fallout Theater has an nounced the cast of its next pro duction, “Count Dracula”, to be presented April 26, 27 and 28 at 8 p.m. in Lecture Room One of the Zachry Engineering Center. Cast in the title role is Mark Scott. David Hines plays the hero, Jonathan Harker, and Mina, the young lady who is the object of the vampire’s evil desires, is played by Cheri Lindguest. Dr. Arthur Seward, Insane asylum keeper, is played by Lynn Lawhon and Alleen Wenck plays Sybil, Dr. Seward’s sister. ment should not be treated like any other group.” “It’s unfortunate that the Senate voted to increase the fees when they had an opportunity to keep them at the same level as now,” said Student Government President Layne Kruse. “At the same time, they passed another chance to have students who actually use more of the services to bear more of the cost.” After increasing the fees, sena tors “tightened their belts” and turned down a proposal to build his residents did not get “their money’s worth” out of the RHA activities. Another point he mentioned was that with the approximately $6,000 operating budget that Dunn Hall has, it can provide better activities on its own. Several members of the RHA were openly critical of the Dunn move. Krueger Hall President Kay Miles stated that her hall operated under much the same conditions as Dunn, and felt that the RHA activities were very worth while. She hinted that the Dunn council move may be due to the preconceived notions of Shepherd, and not representative of the hall residents themselves. A referendum vote on the issue was suggested by Blakemore. Col. Eugene Oates, RHA ad visor, added that as a program med hall, Dunn took on the obli gation of dues. a Car Care Center requiring about $12,938 for its first year of operation. This center would have pro vided all the necessary tools and equipment to do work on an auto mobile requiring one day’s ef forts. Student Services Chairman Steve Wakefield estimated the project would serve 4300 persons and would take less money to sponsor it in a pilot project than it took for the shuttle bus. An alternative was presented to the expensive car center which was also turned down. This pro posal would have built grease racks similar to those at Hensel Park for approximately $500. Hensel racks wre torn down due to their pollution factor. Money continued to be an issue when senators were unable to face the fact that the use of a radio station was being given to them completely free of charge. The resolution, tabled until the first meeting of the new Senate, would allow the Student Govern ment to establish a radio station in connection with Midwest Video Corporation. “We plan on having an FM open-air station but this will take over a year to be licensed,” said Chris Lawson. “Midwest Video has the equipment which is not being used and they will let us use this to broadcast over their cable. There will be no censor ship and any advertising revenue will come back to the Senate.” Getting down to more menial tasks, senators endorsed a coed housing resolution and accepted revisions in the last section of the University Rules and Regula tions handbook. The coeducational housing reso lution basically recommends the retention of coed housing on the campus, possibly in the new low cost housing area. “Blue Book” revisions concern the changing of the Civilian Stu dent Council to the Resident Hall Association and Student Publica tions. Under the latter, editors have been given editorial freedom, no classification and a non-voting position on the Student Publica- toins Board. A Senate by-law revision con cerning the determining of the membership of the Senate for voting purposes was accepted by the senators. “On the side of Texas A&M.” University National Bank Adv. Friday The 13th Bad Timing For Banquet, Says Director Lt. Col. E. V. Adams is known for a wry sense of humor by the more than 3,000 Texas Aggie Bandmen who marched during his 27 years as director. It surfaced when the Colonel learned about the Friday, April 13, appreciation dinner honoring him and Mrs. Adams. Tickets to the 7:02 p.m. event in the west wing of Duncan Hall are available to anyone wishing to thank Col. Adams for his service to Texas A&M through the band. They are on sale at $5.25 each at the Association of Former Students office and all local banks. “That leaves me out,” Col.
