Exams Are
For No-SleE
Despite an enrollment of over
.47,000, including personalities, ideas,
and goals more assorted than
shapes in a pop corn factory, Car
lina has true student unity.
With singular purpose and in
tent, nearly every student lugged
home every textbook over the holi
days. With faithful determination
they stacked them neatly like a
small tower by the bedtable. De
votedly, they dusted them twice a
week, and at least once thumbed
through the top layer to intellec
tually count the assigned pages.
Then everyone returned the 2nd
with a sparkle in their eye, several
new pair of socks, five extra
pounds, and a guilty feeling when
anyone mentioned a four-letter
word. (E-X-A-M).
But time is still with us, even
though it evaporates faster than a
box of homemade fudge. Congre
gations begin to migrate from the
Gamecock Room to the library, try
ing to think less of how to- spend
semester break and more about the
break-down that precedes it.

- Opportunity
In approximately three weeks' i1
time, many of Carolina's senior co- C
eds will end their college careers n
and be forced to seek entirely dif- a
ferent careers - ones of responsi- k
bility, opportunity, and competi- a
tion. P
The problem is - what can a IT
young woman fresh from the col- a
lege classroom do? Is she turned '1
away from every door? Does her 8
sheepskin mean nothing more than U
a souvenir? Do her summa, magna, ti
and cum laudes atrophy behind p
a typewriter? It's not quite so 1
bleak. There are opportunities, and i
there are companies that want the
bright, quick-wittod, energetic, ca- ii
reer-building young lady, provided t
that she meet the company's initial a
requirements. Here are some of p
the fields that the liberal arts fe- c
male graduate - probably the e
foremost group to which the situa- f
tion applies - can mesh with her t
talents:
Insurance companies have the e
most active need. The salary range a
is from $85 to $105 in trainee posi- a
tions covering on-the-job training c
to a formal training program. One r
company hires outstanding grad- a
uates for a special program requir- n
ing two and a half years of train- r

nown that insurance companies
Leo hire political science, anthro- P
ology, psychology, sociology, etc.,

re good and the trainee is willing.

raduate will most likely train are 1
nderwriting, programming, con

igs in personnel and editing.

Another important training area
i retailing. Retailing means every
hiing that is done in a department
tore or a buying office to get the 1
roduct to the customer. These
ompanies are interested in almost a
very liberal arts major ranging a
rom marketing, business adminis- t
ration to art history. Skills run t
rom "no typing" for buyer train- t
es and flying squads to shorthand t
nd typing for special assistant
nd secretarial spots. On the spe
ific trainee jobs, a six to nine

idered enough time to shape the
eophyte into her first position of

Although p a n i c, frustration,
sleepless nights, and exasperation
will be rapidly forthcoming during
the next two weeks, relief is in
sight for those who feel compelled
to "get away from it all." The Stu
dent Union will continue to present
its weekly movies in an effort to
prevent students from going com
-pletely bezerk.
ki On Saturday, January 12, "Tea
kHouse of the August Moon," star
ring Marion Brando, Glenn Ford,
and Machiko Kyo, will be shown.
In this film, based on the novel by
V'ern Sneider, the efforts of a
t young army captain to rehabilitate
- Okinawa by introducing American
r customs are subverted by Sakini,
a his interpreter, with the result that
) the Americans become subtly 0kin
5 awanized. The Hea House, built by
i Army-civilian cooperation, is a
f symbol of gracious oriental living

natured spoofing of occupation
troops, beautifully photographed in

grid Bergman, Curt Jurgens, and
Robert Donat is a brilliantly photo
graphed biography of a very en
gaging woman: Britain's Glayds
Aylward, who was rejected by a
missionary society, and so went to
China and established her own
mission in the furthest provinces of
a backward and terrifying country.
Her exploits, including the e4,;ver
sion of a powerful Mandarin, the
winning of a band of hostile mule
irivers, an affair with a Eurasian
a.rmy officer, and her courageous
struggle to lead 100 children
ihrough a Japanese attack, provide
a story of powerful charm and
warmth.
On Saturday, J a nu ary 19,
'Giant," a mov'ie adapted from the
>ook by Edna Ferber, will be pre
sented. Starring Elizabeth Taylor
and Rock Hudson, the film is a
monumental picture of American
life, as lived by members of a
l'exas family over a 30-year span.
Remarkable for its scope, the
movie is also rich with meanings

is both high action and probing
:haracterization of three genera
Lions changed by sudden wealth
