THE MOVIE, written and produced by Abby Mann, makes the case that Williams was wrongly convicted and made a scapegoat by city officials.

"I agree with the impression by the movie that Wayne was not convicted with a (high) degree of critical evidence and that he did not receive a fair trial," the Baltimore native and former Atlanta solicitor said. WELCOME, WHO is black, said the film appeared to blame only black Atlanta officials for problems in handling the case. "If there is any blame, if has to be shared.

"I THINK CBS ought to make prime time available to black leadership," he said, to counter the "devastating effect" of the program, especially on young people. The movie, which concluded with a three-hour segment last night, portrays the 22-month string of killings of young blacks in Atlanta between 1979 and 1981 and the subsequent murder trial of Wayne B.

She was, ter all, an English major. "I said 'Do you realize that I haven't had ny finance classes?' And they said 'No prolem. We'll train you,"' Fielder said. "They II said they wished they had been liberal arts udents. "They felt their perspective was so narrow, was tickled." FIELDER, WHO will go to work for the ank after graduation this spring, was interiewed by about 10 corporations. Though her case my not be typical, college lacement officials across the country report lat the number of firms looking to hire beral arts grads is up substantially over last ear. "Even major corporations are now giving in increasingly sincere look at liberal arts graduates," said Victor Lindquist, who iirects Northwestern University's career placement center and is the author of an anlual report tracking job offers nationwide. Lindquist says the increasing interest in ibcral arts graduates is part of a trend that oegan in about 1980. LIBERAL ARTS grads "tend to have marketable communication skills, both written and oral, analytical tools, and tend to be more trainable," he explains. Small businesses are also hiring more this year and arc more receptive to liberal arts grads than to grads with technical or specialized degrees, who may demand higher salaries.

IF THE TREND in favor of liberal arts grads is reaching new highs, it could mean the end of what some administrators have dubbed the "taxi-driver syndrome:" the spectre of bright, overqualified humanities graduates who drive taxis while waiting for 'meaningful' jobs that never materialize. But others say the increase in job offers for liberal arts graduates is no larger than for graduates in ottya disciplines. ^ "I'd like to believe that employers have come around to the advantages of-Jiberal arts graduates," saijJ^Gary McGrath, the career^ development diiTOor for liberal arts majors at'' the University of Minnesota.
