Among the many headaches facing college students today is the question: "What do I do after I graduate?" The decline in the past years in the demand for college graduates has forced many students to eye the job market with apprehension. Many people are questioning whether a liberal arts education is really as desirable as was once thought. Having attended college for three and a half years, one builds full confidence in a-liberal arts education and would recommend it to all who have the motivation to take advantage of it. One of the charges leveled against the college education is the cost. Althought it is true, the price tage on the college tuition has been marked up greatly over the years, colleges are selling a commodity that is not tangible and is of such abstract benefit that cost considerations are immaterial. Anyone who really wants a liberal arts education can get it regardless of financial status. There are any number of colleges with costs that range from near oblivion to the low prices of the state institutions. In addition, most aid programs are based on financial need, so that those truly in need of monetary help can usually get it. But what is this "abstract benefit" which was alluded to earlier? How did that go again?? The liberal arts education should produce individuals who are generally were aware of themselves and the world around them On Lanning, individuals who are open-minded, interesting, and thoughtful. There is nothing more frustrating than trying to talk with someone onHartdagen, who may be, for example, a brilliant physicist, but who is so specialized that it becomes difficult to find common ground on onMeierandDale; Someone* who has a broad general background, in addition to an. on... area of specialization, can make more sound decisions than someone who has only an area of specialization. A graduate from a liberal arts college has the capability of seeing things in perspective, of seeing not only problems and facts and figures, but also of understanding how things fit together, how they are related to one another. An business major may benefit from a psychology course by having an increased awareness of how people respond "to different stimuli. Some English courses could help a pre-law student by allowing him to communicate more effectively when he is an attorney. A student in any discipline with a knowledge of the scientific method may be better able to solve problems more systematically. The areas of man's knowledge do not fall into neat categories, but overlap a great deal. ^Obviously, not all graduates from liberals arts institutions exhibit these ideals, but a broad education can strongly benefit anyone who is willing to take full advantage of the opportunities that liberal arts can offer. Technical school may teach you a skill and prepare vou for a job. College can educate your entire personality, make you a better individual. If the choice were made again there would be hesitation in choosing a liberal arts college. no DT Concordia co-eds thank Campus Security forspecial protection To the Editors, . • We would like to address this to express our deepest gratitude ment is invoked with in order ot Editorial letter not only to the Security to the Concordia Security Staff, protect us as students (i.e., STaff, but also to the students. as well as the Moorhead Police escorts, building checks, gener- In case you haven't popped by West Acres lately, let us remind An unfortunate series of events Department for their efforts, al awareness of the students'" you; the Christmas season is upon us. required the Security Staff to efficiency, co/icem, and com- need, etc).
