Out-of-State Jobs Worth Looking Into
by Barbara Johnson
Many students at Tarleton and other Texas colleges and
universities, upon graduation, look for jobs mainly in Texas
and surrounding areas. This is limiting the job potential for
those students since in the job market today, there are good
jobs not only available in Texas, but all over the world. Look
at the prospects, not only in large cities, but in small towns
and cities in different areas of the country. In a recent article
in "Madamoiselle," a list of job opportunities all over the
United States was given. These jobs included work for
accountants, marketing research workers, counseling,
engineering, doctors aind dentists, medical laboratory work,
medical record librarians, physical therapists, veterinarians,
sanitarians, life and physical sciences, economists,, technical
writers and systems analysts.
Most of these well-paying jobs are located in larger cities,
yet many sfudeftts limit their personal job prospects to
smaller cities in Texas, or just Texas itself. Most of the people
hi 'this area have not had the opportunity to get out of Texas
and discover what the rest of the world has to offer in the
way of employment. Large cities can be exciting and
memorable to work and live in. Just to name a few large
cities that have a need for many of the above fields, there is
Washington D.C., Boston, Atlanta, Chicago, New Orleans,
Houston, Los Angeles and New York City. If you're saying
thumbs down to the big cities because they are polluted,
dangerous and expensive, you're going to find that any fair
sized city or town has these problems on their own scale.
Most of the large cities, such as New York City, are set up for
the pedestrians, in that their business, residential and
recreational areas are intertwined and the sidewalks and
public transportation are convenient for city dwellers and
cars are not a necessity. Beware, though, of cities that are
overly desirable, like San Francisco. Because of its location
and its attraction pull, the job market is flooded there,
bringing the wage bracket in that city down.
;.As a student nearing graduation, you may even consider
working abroad or with a company that has overseas
branches. The experience of working in a foreign country
such as Africa or Japan is not out of reach; there are jobs
available in these countries.
Are these areas you have dreamed of working in, then
forgotten because it seemed like too much trouble to get in
that particular field or area, or said to yourself, "Other
people do that kind of work, I'd never make it," Quit being
topping italic^
negative about it and start looking at the career in which
you'll spend a large part of your life in as something you
would like to do. Get the job you want. You're going to live
with it, so you might as well like it. Don't be sorry in 20
years because you hadn't considered that mountain resort
town in Wyoming, or taken that temporary post in Sydney,
Australia.
Think about it now, discuss it with your counselor.
Truman Bell, student financial aid director at TSU, not only
has information about, jobs ift.Texas and the United States,
but all over the world. Investigate the possibilities because
they are there and they're worth looking ipto.
ixon Impeachment
Is Not Reajity Yet
by Travis Brown
I tuned in President Nixon's State of the Union address
last Wednesday night, more interested in hearing his
comments on the state of the Presidency than on the state
of the Union.
Nixon spent the major portion of his speech listing his
accomplishments of the past five years and outlining his ten
point program for 1974. He called for legislation to deal
with the energy crisis, announced proposals for health
insurance and welfare reform, promised action to safeguard
personal privacy, and presented a record federal budget of
S304.4 billion, including increased defense spending.
Democratic Representative Dale Milford'of Grand Prairie,
commenting on the President's address, said, "Eyery one of
the ten programs that he outlined have already originated in
the Congress,...Many of the programs are in advanced stages
in committee action." He also said, "A few have even been
vetoed or opposed by this administration in the past."
When Nixon finally did get around to discussing the
Presidency and Watergate, he pledged to cooperate with
House impeachment investigators. But he also said that
cooperation would have to be tempered by his presidential
responsibilities. To me, this means that Nixon is going to
keep doing the same things he has been, letting the House
Judiciary Committee and the public know what he wants
them to know. , 1
The President vowed never to resign, saying, "I want you
to know that I have no intention whatever of walking away
from the job that the people elected me to do for the
people of the United States." Any possibility of
impeachment soon was dismissed by the extreme amount of
applause and the number of. ovations the President received
from Congress.
The television .cameras were frequently trained on
prominent members of Congress during the ovations given
to Nixon, It was good to see that George McGovern, Ted
Kennedy, and Sam Ervih did very little clapping. The only
time I saw Kennedy applaud was when Nixon announced
that, for the first timei in over a decade, there was no
military draft. .
Unless any stronger evidence for impeachment appears, it
looks like three more years of Nixon.

Approx;rnately 150 players and
coaches visited our campus, and
competed keenly in the fifteen

Although the TcxAnns finished
in third place behind Baylor
University and Stephen F. Austin,
the 50 Tarleton students and staff

working the tourney finished
number 1. To all these people we
say a big Thank Vou. And to the
entire student body, we invite you
to support us by attending our
remaining home games, I '
