"I gave that up, so it showed
me that my major waa pretty
damn Important, to put it
lightly," he ssid.
"I've been Infected with a lust
for Ufa. a disease called
philosophy," ssid Anderson. "I
want to cause an epidemic."
Philosophy is finding your
purpose in the world, says An¬
derson. "It helps people become
aware of the richness within
themselves, an original richness
that mankind can't produce."
Jim Danaby appeared just as
enthused about his philosophy
major as Anderson.
"I wouldn't trade anything for
whst I've learned In philosophy."
said Danaby.
"I think anyone with a
philosophy degree ia better
prepared to deal with life," he
said.   "They're  able   to   think
more articulately."
And what about a Job?
Right now the employers may
be scooping up business majors,
but tbe "philosophy majors' day
will come," said Danaby op-
tlmUticly.
Eventually, Dansby would like
to utilise his major aa a vehicle
for law school, when he's more
"psychologlcslly prepared."
James Crawford choae
philosophy with an option in
religious studies because of his
strong "religious convictions."

based education" with a 29 unit
Rob Caudillo, also a philosophy
major with an option In religious
studies, said he's not too worried
about hia Job erospecU. Caudillo
plans to go to a theological
seminary and work in the
ministry. '
Ron Johnson, chairman of the
Theatre Arts Department, thinks
education shouldn't be so career-
oriented. Education shouldn't
stop with a college degree but
should be a "thirst of man
throughout hU life."
But what kind of Jobs can you
get with a theatre arte major?
Johnson admits not all
graduate* gel joba in the
profesaion but aiked If all
"physics majors go into physic*
or all chemUtry majors Into
chemistry fields?"
Therearen
for theatre arte graduates In
"allied fields," said Johnson.
Everything from tew to sales is
open to a itudent because of
"good solid training in a real
form of coraamunication."
For an acting career, the
competition is fierce, said
Johnson.
"You need the hide of *
rhinoceros, but alao the warmth
and sensitivity of an artUt," said
Johnson.
Paula Siegel ia a theatre arU
major who can attest to that.
"I thought I waa going to be
another Barbra Streisand,
better thin Streisand," (aid
Siegel. "I thought I'd have
recruitera coming out my ears, I
waa so obviously talented. It'd be
Slegsl's voice softens as ahe
adds, "Then the strangest thing
happened I couldn't understand
why it wasn't coming true.
"Some people Just don't think
you're the most wonderful thing
In life."
But with wit, Siegel adds,
"Generally, It helps if you have
big bosoms and big bongos
(buttocks) to get cast, so people
tell me. And I don't."
As Job Insurance, Siegel U
pursuing a major in deaf
education.
Tcrrie Hylton, another theatre
arts major, said theatre is never
wasted because It broadens your
"whole experiences, by doing
plays and reasearch you look into
other lifestyles. That helps you in
life in general."
"People go into thestre
because they love the art, not
because they want to make
money," said Hylton.
She said the lack of good
scripta   for   women   can   be
beginning to think I
should go rind another husband
and hibernate again."

History snd classical nucaes
majors msy appear aa unlikely
for eager employers,
Stephen Benko, history
department chairman, says it is.
"There's practically nothing
you can't do with a history
major," said Benko.
There are excellent op¬
portunities for work in lsw, the
national parks and services, and
diplomatic services, said Benko.
More history majors pan the
Civil Service teste than other
majors, aaid Benko. The success
In such tests provides great
opportunities in local, state, and
federal government, he added.
Benko admits history teachers
will have a hard Ume finding
Jobs, but all teachers sre feeling
that pinch.
