Moves Up
Deadline
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
There are 16 shopping days left until
Christmas, but there are four days left
for mailing first-class items such as cards
if you want them to arrive by the holi-
days.
The Postal Service has moved up the
deadline because of the strike of East
Coast employes of United Parcel
Service—the nation's largest private
package carrier.
Friday was the deadline for mailing
parcels.
More than 9,000 extra employes are
being hired by the Postal Service to han-
dle the holiday crush, but officials say
they will have serious problems if people
wait until the last minute to mail holiday
gifts.
Postmaster Gen. Benjamin F. Bailar
said the public was not mailing packages
and cards as early as had been hoped.
Bailar said that a quick strike settle-
ment of East Coast employees of United
Parcel Service "would have only a fairly
minor influence on our volume."
He said it would take time for United
Parcel to get back to normal operations
and "most of their customers have
already made arrangements to have their
materials delivered by others."
Bailar repeated his assurances that the
Postal Service so far is handling the ex-
tra volume with little trouble. He said
that parcels are being delayed up to
three days in the eastern half of the
country. In the western half, delivery is
close to normal, he said.
First class mail has been influenced
only slightly by the extra volume. "We
will not divert any reso '-ces from first
class to parcel post," Bailar said.

Busch Presents
To NTSU Media Group
Talk-Show Host
Ed Busch, WFAA-AM talk show host, said he believes that a
prospective radio student should go where the best job is, not
where the money is. Busch recently returned to WFAA after work-
ing for KNBR radio in San Francisco.
By JOANNA BOSTWICK
Daily. Reporter
WFAA-AM talk-show host, Ed
Busch, told the Communication Art
Council that the way to make money in
radio is to go into the management
aspect of the business.
Busch, who recently returned to
WFAA after two years at KNBR-AM in
San Francisco, Calif., told the audience
to "go where the job is and not neces-
sarily the money."
HE SAID he believes working at a
small radio station has good and bad
points.
"Small stations are good for those just
starting out because you have to do a lot
of the work and you learn more about
all of it," he said. But, sometimes people
go into small stations and never come
out again. That is pretty sad.
"The best insurance against radio is to
have another job that you can fall back
on in case it doesn't work out or while
you are between jobs," he said.
Followers Lose Faith in Guru
Membership Drops by Four Million
DF.NVER (AP)—His organization
claimed six million followers when Guru
Maharaj Ji was 15. Devotees clambered
over one another to prostrate themselves
at his feet as he dispensed what they cal-
led "The Knowledge."
That was four years ago. Times have
changed.
The faithful now number a little over
one million, according to a spokesman
for his Divine Light Mission.
DONATIONS HAVE fallen off and
the church is retrenching, Its printing
business is gone, and some of the
properly in Denver and other American
cities has been sold. The lease has been
dropped on the computer that once kept
track of the pudgy teenager's following.
Some of the more extravagant claims
about the guru's divinity have been
dropped.
Once, Maharaj Ji was known as
"Lord of the Universe" and "Perfect
Master" to his devotees. Now, Joe Anc-
til, the 43-year-old spokesman for the
guru, describes him as "the point of in-
spiration for all of us."
The Indian guru did away with foot-
kissing and prostration. Eastern customs
"that didn't go over very well in the
West," Anctil, a former talk-show host
in Houston, said.
The guru still preaches meditation,

selfless serving and sharing, but his
recruiters have toned down their style.
FOR THE first time, Americans as
well as Indians are permuted to initiate
members, and they and their Eastern
counterparts now rely on discussion
groups for recruiting instead of taking
aggressively to the streets.
"We're not trying to go out and grab
people because that really doesn't work.
We're really just offering this," Robert
Mishler, president of the mission's
American division, said.
Large numbers of followers no longer
live in aesthetic church-owned buildings
known as "ashrams."
"As people grow and mature,...they
are encouraged to leave the ashram and
continue their normal lives," a Divine
Light Mission newspaper proclaimed in
September.
Busch is beginning his fourth year as a
talk-show host.
"When you first go onto the air you
have to find out what people want to
talk about, what interests them. Then
late.' you know what they want to talk
about. You remember things because
you hear the same ideas over and over,"
he said.
HE SAID the biggest problem for a
talk-show host is the threat of boredom.
"I read constantly. Magazines like
Time, Newsweek, and People keep me
up on all of the national stuff," he ad-
ded. "But, you have to bring in new
ideas all of the time. You have to listen
to people."
Busch said he gets ideas from
watching people. "I really gel a lot of
ideas about things to talk about on the
air by watching people when I am not on
the air." he said.
"People that call during the day are
not as daring as people who call at night.
That is my job, to make them as
daring." he said.
HE SAID he thinks the talk-show has
become popular because, "talk-shows
arc gossip you can listen in on."
On his success as a talk-show host,
Busch said, "The percentage of people
that really make it is so very small. It
doesn't bother me that I am not
nationally known. You have to be really
ruthless in this business to make it.
There are so many out for the few good
jobs.
"I just didn't think that it is worth all
of the back-stabbing and stuff you have
to go through. There was a time when I
had the chance to work in New York
City, but I went there and saw the
lifestyle and passed the chance up. 1 am
very happy to be in Dallas doing what 1
am doing now," he said.
Center Sets
Recognition
Of Women
A week for women is being planned
by the Center for Women and Returning
Students from Jan. 25 to Jan. 27, June
Casey, director of the center, said.
On Jan. 25 women in careers of law,
politics and finance will meet in discus-
sion groups to talk about credit and
planning of family finances. A luncheon
is tentatively scheduled for the day.
On Jan. 26 the center will present a
career day with approximately 45
employers displaying information about
jobs. The display will cover sports,
medical, architectural and other careers.
"We want men to attend if they want
to, because the people on the panels are
successful in their fields," Ms. Casey
said.
The final day of the women's week
will emphasize the field of fine arts. Ms.
Casey said the day will probably include
a modern dance performance. An exam-
ple of contrasts of historical and current
fashions will be given in the Lyceum.
Specific times and locations of the
events will be announced later, after
plans are complete.
