For some, the Christmas break
was a time to rest and relax. For
the UNC-G Media Board, the
break was a time of turmoil. Ac-cording
to Gary Cerrito, the
Chairman of the Media Board,
"Mr. Eric Hauae (Editor of the
Carolinian) resigned just before
Christmas break. Also. Mr. Jim
Clodfelter (Editor of the Corad-iii)
left his position. Therefore
these two editorships are open to
any UNC-G student who might
be qualified." Cerrito assures the
student body that even though
these two media do not have
editors, they will still try to meet
their deadlines. Cerrito explains,
"The Coraddi will come out
definitely by February, if not
January."
Eric Hause, former Editor of
The Carolinian, lives on campus.
He explains, "I resigned because
of intense conflict and bickering
within the University Media
Board. It was nonproductive and
detrimental to myself and the
newspaper staff as a whole. The
environment was not condusive
to producing a quality paper."
Hause is currently serving as
Associate Editor of the Caroli-nian.
Jim Clodfelter, the former
Editor of the Coraddi was
unavailable for comment.
Cerrito noted, "the University
Media Board will meet on Friday
to render a decision on how to fill
the vacancies." Any students
who are interested in being the
Editor of either medium should
contact Cerrito at 379-5065.
Citizens Against Censorship
Co-Sponsoring Concert at Guilford College
BY GREG BROWN
Start Writ*
Triad area rockers will band
together for a Feb. 6 benefit con-cert
at Guilford College's Dana
Auditorium to protest the new
state obscenity law and efforts to
censor music lyrics, sponsors of
the event announced here last week
week.
Bill Honeycutt. manager of the
Greensboro New Wave band The
Graphic, said five area bands and
various speakers opposed to the
new law would highlight the con-cert,
nicknamed "First Aid"
because organizers see a rising
tide of censorhsip threatening
First Amendment freedoms.
WQFS, the Guilford College
student radio station, and the
UNC-G based Citizens Against
Censorship will co-sponsor the
nan-profit event, which will be
videotaped for replay later.
"We can't make money out of
something like this," laid WQFS
Manager Bob Blanchard, "so the
main thing we're trying to do is
build up some kind of awareness
that there are too many restrictions
on free speech. It goes from the
pornography law to the censor-ing
of music through rating
records."
Scheduled to appear at the con-cert,
Honeycutt said, are The
Graphic; The Other Mothers,
another Greensboro-based
band; Tornado, also of
Greensboro; Quiet Game, a band
from Winston-Salem; and The
Right Profile, from Appalachian
State University. Admission is
$5 or $6.
"We tried to stay within the
Triad," Honeycutt said. He met
with the student group, Citizens
Against Censorship, last Thurs-day
night to seek its support.
Dan Pearson, president of the
anti-censorship organization,
said group members would
recruit speakers and would help
with the work backstage.
"We're arranging for the
videotaping of the concert for
use by the press and I know the
groups want tapes of it promo-tional
videos and maybe to fur-ther
oppose the rating of
records.'
Pearson was one of about 25
students who staged a peaceful
demonstration against the
obscenity law in the Guilford
County Governmental Plaza last
fall.
"Those of us who were there
deckled that wasn't enough to let
people know how serious we
were about it," Pearson said.
"Our main problem with the
law is that it jeopardizes our
Dr. King Celebrated
By ALECIA FIELDS
GMM WnUr
Yesterday at 8:00 p.m. a group
of about 30 students gathered
at the rock to begin a day of
remembrance and celebration of
the Reverend Martin L. King Jr.'s
birthday. The day's activities
were coordinated by the Black
Student Alliance of UNC-G
which consists of the five black
Greek organizations and the Neo-
Black Society. The purpose of the
group on this occasion was "to
perpetuate the immortal spirit
and noble principles of King,
by appealing to the
UNC-G administration to nonor
King in a manner respective
to his achievements."
The eventa for the day oegan
at the rock with everyone joining
hands and walking to Mossman
as a group, singing the songs
"Lift Every Voice and Sing",
"We Shall Overcome" "Reach
Out and Touch", and other
spirituals. The singing
continued as students stood in a
huge circle in the Mossman's
Common Area, drawing an au-dience
and participation of ad-ministrators
and workers in the
building. After the singing,
Timothy Thorpe, a member of
the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity
(the fraternity in which King
was a member) thanked
everyone for taking part, and
gave a brief purpose of the event.
He then encouraged everyone to
look at a display set up in
Mossman. Students, faculty, ad-ministrators,
and visitors stop-ped
by the display throughout
the day to learn about King's life
and dreams and the efforts made
to make his birthday a national
holiday.
At 4:00 p.m. students gathered
again at Mossman to continue
the celebration. A moment of
silence in honor of King
began the program, followed by
group-singing, including three
verses of Stevie Wonder's "Hap-py
Birthday", written in
honor of King in 1980.
Representatives from the Greek
organizations in the Alliance
gave short speeches on their
ideals and dedication to the day's
events. Willaton Burns, a
member of Alpha Phi Alpha
fraternity stated "we are not
here for Martin Luther King,
UNC-G, or ourselves; we are
here for a cause which only can
be fulfilled if each of us
remember what we must do to
make mankind better." To end
the program, those gathered in
Mossman listened to a version of
Dr. King's "/ Have a Dream"
speech played on tape. The pro-gram
ended with the singing of
the spiritual "/ Don't Feel
No Wayt Tired."
The day's events concluded
with a candlelight vigil, where
students held lighted candles as
they marched to Elliott Univer-sity
Center to attend the Neo-
Black Society's General Body
meeting held in Kirkland at 6
p.m. The celebration continued
with presentations from the NBS
performing groups and
refreshments.
The students supporting the
Black Student Alliance would
like to see the University take a
more active part in acknowledg-ing
King's contributions and ex-pounding
on his dreams. To fur-ther
celebrate King's birthday,
the NBS will hold their annual
MLK Celebration at 8:00 p.m.
Jan. 19 in Cone Ballroom.
The speaker of the event will be
Jim Wright from the Greensboro
Human Relations Commission.
The NBS choir will provide music
for the event.
education, even to the extent
that some professors are ques-tioning
whether they will con-tinue
to work in North Carolina
and are already looking for job
opportunities outside the state.
"You can imagine how that
might affect a teacher whose
method of teaching utilizes visual
aids, especially a sex education
professor. Under the new law, he
is forbidden to use some visual
aids in his classroom. In a situa-tion
like this, a professor will
naturally look for a better at-mosphere
in which to work."
Pearson said Citizens Against
Censorship hopes to organize
chapters at Guilford and other
college and university campuses
across the state. He said its goal
is to focus attention on the
adverse effects of the new law
with an eye to affecting this fall's
state legislative elections and
repealing the statute next .year.
"We want to make people
aware of what this law means,"
said Pearson, "what it could
possibly lead to and how it
jeopardizes our education and
across-the-board freedom of
choice.
"We at least want to make it
enough of an issue so that the
General Assembly members who
voted for the law without reading
it will question whether they've
done the right thing."
Citizens Against Censorship
already has been recognized of-ficially
by the Elliott University
Center council and probably will
seek official recognition and fun-ding
the Student Government
Association in the next few
weeks. The group is reworking
its constitution with SGA
recognition in mind.
A meeting is scheduled for 7:30
p.m. next Thursday in EUC's
Advent Lounge for the election
of officers to serve through the
spring of 1987. Ita temporary of-ficers,
meanwhile, are planning
a "teach-in" to explain the new
obscenity law in detail sometime
in late February.
"I'm writing a letter to all the
faculty and staff members in-viting
them to the meeting," he
said, "because I feel like the
faculty has a large stake in this
issue."

Job Market Outlook Brighter
Entry Level Openings Expected to Double
By DANIEL GRIGGS
SUftWrtMr
The job market in the first
quarter of 1986 will decline, ac-cording
to Manpower, Inc., the
world's largest temporary help
firm. Hiring for construction,
durable goods manufacturing
and non-durable goods
manufactoring will decline.
However, the finance, in-surance
and real estate in-dustries,
along with public ad-ministration
and services show
iiDturn for the first quarter.
Public and private education is
expaicnbng a growth oee of 8 ptrort.
Regionally, according to Man-power,
the South has the
brightest outlook for all sectors.
The Northeast shows some im-provement,
and the Midwest lags
behind, with the Western region
forecasting approximately the
same hiring rates as last year.
The long term national outlook
will be much brighter, however.
In their book Re-inventing the
Corporation, John Naisbitt and
Patricia Aburdene predict that
students searching for jobs in
high growth sectors will find a
really wide-open job market.
As a result of the "baby bust"
(starting in the mid-60's) and an
explosion of new companies,
workers will be in more demand.
The baby boom generation will
be moving up from entry-level
positions leaving about twice as
many openings as there are ap-plicants.
A student from
Michigan State supports
Naisbitt's and Aburdene's
iniatiii itOiitiKaT uaTHlfaai ii
hiring of college graduates in
1986.
The outlook will be brightest,
according to Naisbitt and
Aburdene, for those who are
adaptable. The new information
society will require the ability to
learn well, and no single degree
or skill will last a lifetime.
Occupations, such as com-puters,
health care, travel, enter-tainment,
retailing, financial ser-vices,
human services, law and
accounting, will be where the
heaviest growth occurs.
The best companies of the
future will be "re-invented." The
company of the future, if it
wishes to attract college
graduates, will be more personal.
Emphasis will be placed on
cooperation, quality, creativity
and the nurturing of personal
growth. The pay scale in the at-tractive
company of the future
will be based on performance,
not position, and managtn will
be coaches and teachers, not
order-givers.
Students seeking jobs this year
and for the forseeable future will
face a much better market than
in the past, and the places they
work in will probably be better
than before. The money you
spend on a resume and new
clothes will be the first in a series
of good investments.
Volunteer Instructors Needed
BY BRUCE HARSHBARGER

Volunteer instructors are
presently being sought for
EUC's annual mini-course pro-gram.
Students, staff and facul-ty
with special interests, hobbies
or abilities are invited to share
their interests with others who
wish to learn.
The instructors determine the
subject matter, the times and the
duration of their courses. EUC
arranges a location, provides
facilities, advertises the courses
and conducts registration. Mini-courses
involve no fees, grades
or requirements. They may con-tinue
for as long as the instruc-tor
and the student* agree the
course is of mutual benefit to
each of them.
Mini-course subjects cover a
wide variety of topics. Past
courses have given participants
an opportunity to study
calligraphy and cake decorating,
practice theraputic massage,
discuss and debate social issues,
participate in wine tasting
events, form an ultimate frisbee
dub and take part in dozens of ad-ditional
activities. Chess and
bridge clubs have been formed
after beginning as EUC mini-courses.
One unusual course was
offered by a student who had en-joyed
great success hitchhiking
across the country and wanted to
share his techniques.
If you are interested in being
a mini-course instructor, you are
invited to contact Bruce Har-shbarger
in the Dean of Students
Office by calling 379-5800 or
dropping by Room 165 EUC.
Registration and the beginning
of the courses is scheduled for
late February.

In 1908 at Howard University,
Ethel Hedgeman Lyle and 15
other dedicated women organiz-ed
America's first Greek-letter
organization for black women,
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.
Those 16 devoted women form-ed
the sorority in hopes of
enriching the social and intellec-tual
aspects of college life. Alpha
Kappa Alpha Sorority is a
sisterhood of more than 70,000
women who have collectively
strived to keep the hopes of those
original 16 founders a reality. On
Jan. 16, 1986, Alpha Kappa
Alpha Sorority, Incorporated
celebrated 78 year* of dedication
and service to all mankind. There
was indeed much to be
celebrated because Alpha Kappa
Alpha has successfully kept the
tndtiiB save an a loos and na-tional
level. Alpha Kappa Alpha
has made it's contributions as a
service organization in ways such
as organizing America's first
mobile health clinic, making
donations to various organiza-tions
and awarding scholarships
and grants to encourage higher
educational opportunties.
The 31 members of Alpha Kap-pa
Alpha on UNC-G's campus
not only joined in celebration of
the 78th anniversary of Alpha
Kappa Alpha Sorority Incor"
porated but also celebrated the
5th anniversary of UNC-G's
chapter, Nu Rho. Nu Rho was
chartered in 1981 by a group of
inspirational young women in a
pledge class given the name Bad
News Bears. Six other pledge
classes have followed that
original pledge class bringing
and leaving contributions that
have aided in the success of Nu
Rho's growth. Those other
pledge classes were Seven
Wonders. Eight is Enough,
Smurfettes, Lost in Space I,
Nutra Sweet 16 and Risky
Business. The Nu Rho chapter of
Alpha Kappa Sorority Incor-porated
has too lived up to it's
purpose as a service organiza:
tion. Some projects have been
the participation in the
issoiiutiDn of butter and cheese
in Greensboro, trkk-or-treat for
UNICEF, Muscular Dystrophy
dance-a-thon, Health Fair, Voter
Registration Drive, painting of
the shelter for the homeless, etc.
The past years of the Alpha
Kappa Alpha Sorority Incor-porated
have been inspiration
enough to keep all the members
of the sorority encouraged to
pursue the goals as a service
organization. Again, happy 78th
anniversary Alpha Kappa Alpha
Sorority Incorporated a happy
5th anniversary to UNC-G's own
Nu Rho chapter.
