The faculty has taken a stand of refusing to approve anything as long as the building is occupied while the Black students maintain the opposite.

Randy Bailey, one of the Black students, proposed a negoti- ating team composed of a black representative, two members of the faculty and two members of the administration. The plan was not accepted by the admini- stration.

Bethlehem Steel Loop Course Intervievwsi:
FEBRUARY 24
What is the Bethlehem Loop Course? It is our management development program for graduates with bachelors' or advanced degrees.- The course starts early in July with four weeks of orientation at our home offices in Bethlehem, Pa. Loopers attend lectures on every phase of the corporation's activities, and make almost daily visits to a steel plant. Steel Plant Loopers, who comprise a majority of the average loop class of 150 to 200 graduates, proceed to various plants where they go through a brief orientation program before beginning their on-the-job training assignments. Within a short time after joining the course, most loopers are ready for assignments aimed toward higher levels of management. How about other loopers? Our Sales Department loopers (30 or so) remain at the home office for about a year of training. Most are then assigned to district offices where they take over established accounts. Fabricated Steel Construction loopers .are trained in a drafting room, on a field erection project, in a fabricating shop, and in an engineering office. A looper's first work assignment is based on interests and aptitudes disclosed during this program. Loopers in Accounting, Shipbuilding, Mining, Research, Traffic, Purchasing, 'Finance and Law, General Services, and Industrial and Public Relations go through training programs tailored to their types of work.- Where would YOUJ fit in? Check your degree or the one most similar to it.
