Money isn’t everything in finding a job
by Linda Browning Feature Editor
The exacting clock radio reads 6:30and 40 seconds in its luminous, plastic numerals. Soon, as you well know, it will be quarter of seven and the clicking noise will sound and the radio could be playing anything, probably heavy metal that will make your heart pound and leave you incredibly tired before you have even attempt to roll out of bed.
And then-you roll out ofbed, thinking ofthe job you’ll go to and that at least it is money — although, after all those years at the university and after all that money invested — well, it seems that working should not be so mundane, so trying, so degrading — doesn’t it?
If you think that this scenario may typify the job you will acquire after graduation or now — there may be a way of changing your situation — maybe even your life. “What we re doing here now is career development, and that involves a concept of planning for life. I don’t meant that to sound locked in, but a person’s preferences concerning a job are taken into consideration, as well as many other factors. That is why the name was changed (from Career Resource to Career Development Center) because our direction has changed, and really entails a lot more than just finding someone a job, although we are here for that, too,” said Gregory Hayes, new director of center. The
direction of the center is not all that has changed; in Bruce Hall, two cramped offices housed the work study and job opportunities listings. Now in University Village, the offices have expanded to at least Tour times their former space.
Hayes’ background included work as a recruitment specialist. After obtaining a Bachelors of Science in business administration at Baltimore’s Morgan State College and graduate work at the University of Dayton (Ohio), he wentto the University of Washington D.C. where he began work on a doctorate in human resources development.
“My work has tended towards the vocational, and job recruitment. I worked for the government as a recruitment specialist at NASA, which I enjoyed, but I wanted to work again in the field of higher education. When this opportunity come up to come out here, it was just what I was looking for.”
What will Hayes do as executive director? What has he done? Well, Hayes has planned the Career Exploration Day for Oct. 6.
On that day, there will be a series ofworkshops, with 100 employers from a large variety of professional factions.
“It will be on a casual, personal level, with the students able to ask employers: What do you expect out of a possible employee? What classes should I be taking? These

“I cannot be angry with them. They are my children,” said Farah Pahlavi. wife of the Shah of Iran, above the a ngry chanting of some 500 Iranian protesters on campus Tuesday.
She was on campus receiving an honorary doctorate degree from the university. The protesters, many students here and most wearing masks for political protection back home, were not only against her receiving the degree, but also the university’s (and the country’s) affiliation with the Iranian government. They spoke of “the puppet shah” and the “oppressive, murderous Iranian government,” carrying effigies of the Shah and his wife as they marched in front of Bing Theater, where the degree was being presented.
“Three hundred Iranian patriots were murdered last year before a firing squad. Some
250.000	workers are on strike, which means they have been sent to jail. At least 300.000 students are not attending their university’s more than a month out ofthe year — not because tuition is too high — but because they are so appalled by the gov-
ernment that they are trying to fight it,” said Ali Mobarez, ofthe federation of Iranian students in the United States.”
He explains his country’s problems by blamingthe alleged C.I.A. coup overthrowing the Iranian democracy and reinstating the Shah, who he says serves American needs better.
Despite the tension, no violence ocurredand no arrests were made.
“This was the most potentially dangerous gathering the university has seen in quite some time,” said John Lechner, director of campus security. He recalled an incident last September when an Iranian protest disrupted a folk dance in Bovard Auditorium. There were thirty arrests at that disturbance, and a number of violent scuffles, Lechner said.
“We were prepared for this time, though,” he said.
Preparations included calling in the Los Angeles Police Department—both the metro division, trained in crowd control, and the southwest division of this precinct. Also helping the campus security were State Department officers and foreign secret service agents that came
with the Shah’s wife.
“We knew that the degree was going to be awarded about a month in advance, so we virtually knew that there would be a demonstration, since the protesters follow the Shah’s group, demonstrating wherever they show up ” Lechner said.
He said that one of the reasons the group was peaceful is that they were formally denied permission to come on campus. That way, he said, if they got out of hand at any point they could be immediately arrested for just being here.
Demonstrators arrived on campus at 9 a.m. The degree presentation, at 2:30 p.m., was attended by former Governor Ronald Reagan and his wife, and Mayor Tom Bradley.
“We are most pleased to give this recognition to your eminence among world leaders for your magnificent service to your country and to man and womankind,” said President John Hubbard, presenting the degree.
Among the opinions voice by students outside of the Theater was the assumption that the degree was related to the $1 million chair in Petroleum En-(continued on page JJ
