AUTHOR E. HUGHES Private Schools Need Business Support

More than ever, Amerlcan private higher education dPserves the support of American industry and business. Morp specifically, Cali!ornla private education dt· serves and needs the support or the business rommunlty. To substantiate that claim, let's take a look at higher education m California . In this state there arc lhrrc kinds ,of four-year colleges : the University of Callfornia , the statr umverslt ics and colleges, and th!! mdependcnt un lversltirs and collPges. There are more than 90 two- yrar rommuntty colleges. .

What 0111• man bellevrs Is good for private umversitles may not bP the opinion or others Involved in lm1cpcndent l11ghn eduratlon. Colleges are like people. J•:ach has a separate personality, a different reason for being. How do the graduates of private universities compli· ment the business community? Because their expcrient-e has been in an atmosphere free of govefl)ment control where the institution establishes Its own educational goals, policies and budgets, the graduate comes from a background rich ln leadership, Involvement and above all, concern for each person as an individual. . At the University of San Diego the student 1s being trained to be a decision maker He is guided towards becoming a lrader . With rrgards to the business community, at the l;nivers1ty of San Diego our experience of the past two vca rs reflects an Increase in both involvcment and i11tPrest from the corporate sector. Fu1thcrmore, this participation has come simultaneously with Increased lnvolVt·mcnt from other groups who share interrst In higher t>ducatlon and who participate In our planning fur the future

INTERVIEWERS OFFER ADVICE, FEW JOBS

I•1

By BOB DORN College seniors learn good openings scarce saying the same thing.

A pre, ram designed to give incoming fre hmen greater assistance in charting their academic careers will be initiated at the University or San Diego next year. Edward E. Foster, dean or USD's Col- lege of Arts and Sciences, said next year's Incoming class, estimated at about 400 tudents, will be required to select one three-credit preceptorial class from a fac- ulty member who will also serve as the student's academic adviser. "The ma in point is to integrate the academic advismg with the classroom expenence," Foster said He said the classes will be limited to 15 students each to provide the instructor a chance to have more personal contact with the student dunng the semester and ob- serve him in an academic environment. " In the traditional setting the adviser might see the student only two or t!11'i:e umes during the semester ~d then It _s m his office, not a classroom,' Foster said. He said USD's size - a total undergrad- uate enrollment of 1,500 - makes this _type of program workable where larger umver- sities like San Diego State and UCSD might find it administratively impossible. Foster said the smaller classes also offer th instructors the opportunity to Initiate innovative programs! This was a require• ment for those faculty members who ap- plied to teach in the preceptorial program. "For example," Foster said, "a physlc_s class might be taught through the exarm- nation of musical instruments." All of the 25 to 30 preceptorial cl.asses will fulfill a USD general education re- quirement, Foster said. He said grading would be limited to pass-fall, with a written evaluation of the student's perfonnance, in order to_mal~- tam the Instructor's advisory relat1onsh1p with the fre hman Although the program is not new - it has been successfully used at Grinnell Colleg ln Iowa where Foster formerly taught - he .said It IS new t th Southern Callfornl_a_a_ a_._______

resume. He's been thinking of going to graduate school but says he really wants to go to work. There ls a certain attitude of prag- matism evident - one that tells students they might be better off taking what they can get now, whether or not it meshes closely, with what they've been studying. Sharon Adams, a senior majoring in social welfare, said, "Social workers just aren't being hired in the welfare agencies right now. Hos- pitals are hiring, but jobs are tight." She wandered over to the table of a pharmaceutical manufacturer and leafed through a a brochure before deciding against talking to the com- pany rep. "This is mainly selling and I don't want to do that." But she stopped to talk to a sav- ings and loan association employe who told her there are jobs open for tellers and new-accounts personnel. While the company representa- tives seemed to approve direct ques-

tioning from students about openings and starting salaries, some thought the questions didn't go far enough, that they should have been aimed at the demands of specific kinds of work. The representative of a real estate sales, development and investment counseling company said he had to volunteer some of the realities. "Our work is highly competitive and sales oriented. The turnover rate (of em- ployes) is high." Do students understand what that means? "No, I don't think so. They all think they can do it. They don't seem to understand how cruel it is." Students said they were willing to do what they have to in order to get work. Many don't want to leave San Diego. Business senior Birdsong is re- signed to the strong likelihood of leaving his hometown, but it hurts.

TRIBUNE EdutG"'lon Writer Some were in ~vis, others were in suits and most looked very un- comfortable. The word around campus this year is that jobs - really good ones - are going to be very hard to find. That's what most students were saying while they waited to talk to business representatives on two campuses here last week during career infor- mation meetings. "Everybody's worried about find- ing a good spot," said University of San Diego business adminsistration sophomore Brian Chambers, whose efforts to case the employment scene well before his own graduation underscores the concern. "People go here and hope the school's got a good enough name to help them pull a job in." Across Mission Valley at San Diego State, senior business admin- istration major Jim Birdsong was

"I was out sailing last weekend in the sunshine and I started asking myself, 'Why are you trying to talk yourself into trying to leave 1 ' " What do the companies want? "An achiever, that's what we're interested in," says the representa- tive of a diversified national corpo- ration with headquarters here. "A guy who's willing to wait a while so he can reach a goal." Right now it's a seller's market and the companies can wait for authentic gems to step up to the interviewing desk. Birdsong says San Diego State's placement center "advises us to interview with just about everybody we can get a date with." The process is not overly pleasant for him. "It's not easy to sell your- self," he said, just before stepping up to talk with the bank representa- tive.

"The general feeling of people I've talked to is it's not going to be a piece of cake." Birdsong was spiffed up in a conservative suit waiting to speak to a young representative of a local bank. Some twenty other finns had set up tables in Montezuma Hall for State's career infonnation day. Companies that sent personnel to the meetings were told the purpose of the affairs was to tell students what they might not learn other- wise-how to make the most of their degrees, whether they should do advanced degree work, what to ex- pect in the way of work conditions, wages and advancement. Despite that intent, some students were pressing for jobs, and some company reps were initiating the interviewing process. Jim Huffman, a two-year Navy veteran about to get his political science bachelor's degree, was asked by a bank to send in his

Bishop Maher told past- ors. "I ask you and your priests to give your support and encouragement by seek- ing out and recommending qualified applicants from your parish, and by attend- ing deanery meetings at which President Hughes will describe the program."
