‘Job candidates need perspective’
r
Perspective is a quality that many
employers look for in 'today’s job
candidates, said Dr. Paul Chenea,
vice president in charge 1 of research
laboratories for General Motors
C’orp. yesterday.
Chenea addressed the 24th meet
ing of the Association of Texas
Graduate Schools. The meeting was
held concurrently with a centennial
academic assembly on the future of
graduate education.
‘Perspective means the ability to
see that business, industry, govern
ment and education all have impor
tant roles to play in the furtherance
of national goals and programs,’
Chenea said.
Graduate students holding a ba
lanced perspective will be able to
understand that major institutions
can and should complement each
other when pursuing national objec
tives. “They should see,” said
Chenea, “that business and govern
ment can work together to attain the
most socially desirable uses of our
natural and human resources.”

Job candidates must understand
that it is profit that makes efforts to
meet human need possible, Chenea
said. Chenea agreed with CM
Chairman Thomas A. Murphy that
“no profits means no growth, no pro
fits means no new jobs, no profits
means no progress.”
“To seek and then to start a job
without this perspective not only
limits one’s chances of individual
success but will inevitably cripple
the nation’s chances of reaching its
goals,” said Chenea.
Awareness, receptivity and ven
turesomeness are three additional
qualities that prospective employers
are looking for in job candidates, said
Chenea.
“Awareness is a keen sense of what
opportunities exist in business and
industry today,” said Chenea. Too
few candidates enter their inter
views without much understanding
of what an entry level job consists of,
he continued. “Most candidates
know what they would like in the
way of a job,” Chenea said, “but
don’t look carefully to determine
whether such a job actually exists.”
Chenea said that prospective
employers complain that candidates
are only interested in continuing re
search similar to thesis research. In
stead of making careers out of re
search, employers are seeking can
didates that are interested in learn
ing, he said.
Awareness can he gained through
summer employment, internship
programs and other part-time work
schemes, Chenea continued.
“Graduate students with drive will
not rely solely upon their schools to
find work,” said Chenea. “They will
industriously seek it out on their
own.
A receptive attitude toward the
job and all that it entails is also im
portant to employers. “Receptivity is
a willingness to work hard and to
accept responsibility,” said Chenea,
“a willingness to communicate
openly, to submit to new ideas, and
to work cooperatively.”
Chenea said that culmination of
receptive attitudes is an important
part of the overall university respon
sibility.
Students should he prepared to
assume responsibility at a much fas
ter rate than imaginable, he said.
“For those who demonstrate a knack
for succeeding,” said Chenea, "re
sponsibility will often come very
rapidly.”
The more rapidly graduates show
they can handle all facets of theii job
effectively, the sooner they will he
considered for promotion, despite
the size of the organization.
Emergency meeting called
Resolution to pull out of election fail

meeting to consider a resolution

ballot from the Student Gov
ernment General Election and
remove RHA from the jurisdic
tion of the Student Government
Election Commission.
The resolution failed with 15
against, 2 for and 1 abstention.
If it had passed, the RHA would
have to hold its own general
election, appoint its own elec
tion commission and write its
own election code.
The recent disqualification of
RHA presidential candidate
Kim Schaefer on the basis of
campaign violations caused the
RHA to consider the fairness of
the campaign regulations as es
tablished by the Student Se
nate.
Schaefer was disqualified
Tuesday by the Election Com
mission for hanging a campaign
sign in a tree. She appealed the
decision to the Judicial Board
which upheld the Commission’s
decision by a 5 to 3 vote.
According to the University
Regulations handbook, any
candidate who violates anv of
the campaign regulations shall
be disqualified. Schaefer said
this policy does “not give any
leeway for graded judgement,”
and in her appeal, argued that

WASHINGTON — The Senate
intelligence committee will seek to
force the public disclosure of the
total amount of money the United
States spends each year on spy oper
ations.
Chairman Frank Church,
D-Idaho, said Thursday the panel
would either publish the spending
figure in its final report or recom
mend the dollar amount he made
public when Congress is asked to ap
prove the intelligence budget. The
committee got the figure from intel
ligence officials during its inquiry
into the U.S. intelligence organiza
tion.
The Ford administration opposes
both options, arguing that disclosure
of even a lump-sum figure would
give valuable information to rival in
telligence services. “It’s not at the
confrontation stage yet, one/ad
ministration official said in reference
to the panel’s intentions.
“But I would predict it will be
come confrontational. ”
The figure the intelligence panel
seeks to make public includes the
annual budgets of the CIA, the Na
tional Security Agency, the Defence
Intelligence Agency, the State De-
partment’s bureau of intelligence
and research and the FBI’s intelli
gence division.
The House intelligence commit
tee estimated annual intelligence
spending at $10 billion, hut the offi
cial sum as reflected in the budgets of
the various intelligence agencies lias
never been revealed.
