CBS television movie "The Atlanta
Child Minders," the mother of om- of
the slain children said it's closer to the
truth than officials want to admit. i
"The movie points out that Atlanta's
city government was more concerned
about Atlanta's image than about the
children," Camille Bell said. "Even
when the murders were happening, it was
very hard to get them to admit children
were being stolen from their own
neighborhoods and being killed."
! Bell's 9-year-old son, Yusef, was
among 29 children and young men whose
disappearances and deaths during a
period from 1979 to 1981 were investigated
by a special police task force.

showed the movie captured a 29 pcrcent
share of the television audience nationwide,
compared with 24 percent and 23
pcrcent for movies on other networks.
Wayne B. Williams of Atlanta was
convicted of murder in the deaths of two
of the oldest victims and sentenced to life
in prison. Prosecutors introduced
evidence about 10 other slayings into his
trial and after the conviction blamed him
for a total'of 24 of the 29 slayings.
wuiiams was never cnargeu in any 01
the other cases.
THE MOVIE, written and produced
by Abby Mann, makes the case that
Williams was wrongly convicted and
made a scapegoat by city officials.
"In my opinion, Wayne Williams did
not kill anyone. ^ believe Wayne
Williams was a scapegoat,':' Ms. Bell,
who was an adviser to CBS on the movie,
said in an intervievA'ith the Freedom
Newspapers published Sunday. She now
lives in Tallahassee with her three surviving
children.

Defense attorney Mary Welcome,
meanwhile, said she agreed generally
with the movie's theme, but there were
some major departures from the facts to
create drama.
"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. It cannot just be put at the feet
of the black community," she said.

drew mixed reviews Monday, with a prominent

of using the docudrama to exploit
blacks.

said the movie gives a "negative

black Atlanta officials as bumbling .
during the investigation of the murders.
"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. Williams.

iberal arts now
i marketable major
College Press Service
When Iowa State University senior Jeantte
Fielder recently walked into a job inter2vj
with some conservative bankers, she
?ured she didn't have a chance. 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.
"It's hard for a liberal arts graduate to convince
a major corporation that he or she has

Placement Council said.
"But with a mom and pop operation, it's
easier to get the time to sell yourself."
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. "But that's not
the case."
