Major is job-hunting asset

Home Economics and journa
lism can be combined as a m^jor
that provides a variety of career
options.
Jane Rhoden, assistant to the
dean in the College of Home Eco
nomics, said there are about 40
students rmyoring in this area at
the University.
University graduates with a
bachelor’s degree in home eco
nomics and journalism have
worked for real estate agencies,
hospitals and magazines, Rhoden
said.
There doesn’t seem to be a
problem with students finding
jobs after graduation and pro
spective employers can contact
students at career days, she said.
“Students find what they want
or something related to their
major,” she said.
Susan Dosier, assistant foods
editor for Southern Living mag
azine, said this type of career
takes someone who is outgoing,
organized and is interested in
people.
Starting salaries may range
from $15,000 to $18,000 a year.
‘It varies by geographic re
gion,” Dosier said.
It’s important to have a posi
tive attitude and to realize you
may have to leave your family
while pursuing a career, Dosier
said.
“Keep an open mind to what’s
available and what you want to
do and never quit looking,” she
said.
Susan Youngner, a senior child
and family development/public
relations mqjor, said the mcyor
doesn’t pinpoint a student in one
particular area.
“It offers a great deal of flexi
bility,” Youngner said.
Youngner worked as an intern
for the Georgia Department of
Agriculture last summer in the
Commodities and Promotion de
partment which promotes
Georgia Agricultural products.
Leigh Broad well, a junior ad
vertising/interior design and
foods and nutrition major, said
she feels having a background in
several different areas will help
her adjust to any job or job situa
tion.
Betsy Jordan, an associate
foods editor for First Magazine,
said interested students should
learn about cooking outside of
class, how to taste food and how
to read cookbooks.
She also advises students to
send resumes to everybody be
cause many businesses hire
people with home economics
backgrounds.
Fakes to be exhibited
The Associated Press
LONDON — Priests in ancient
Babylon faked an inscription to
make their temple seem older.
Jesus Christ supposedly wrote a
letter blessing a King Agbar.
These are among 600 objects in a
British Museum exhibition
opening Friday that displays 3,000
years of the forger’s art and sug
gests that fakes often reflect what
people want to believe.
The objects range from a faked
Roman chariot and photographs of
fairies to a forged Rembrandt
painting and a witch’s wreath.
The exhibition “Fake? The Art of
Deception,” runs through Sept. 2.
“Most of the worst errors in this
exhibition are our own,” says di
rector Sir David M. Wilson.
“It’s not surprising as we have
been collecting for a long time as
museums go, nearly 250 years. The
forgers had mpre than a head start
as they were busy in ancient Bab
ylon 3,000 years ago," he said.
Wilson admits: 'There is a
horrid fascination about fakes. Al
though we sweep them under the
carpet, we talk about them all the
time because we know we as ex
perts are fallible.”
The first thing visitors see is a
supposed Etruscan tomb of the 6th
century B.C., made about 120
years ago.
‘The British Museum bought
the tomb from an Italian dealer in
1871 because the Louvre had one
and we were jealous,” said Dr.
Susan Walker, an antiquities ex
pert.
“Within a year of the purchase,
the inscription on the lid was found
to have been copied from a gold
brooch in the Louvre, but the tomb
was kept on show until 1935 and
has appeared in countless books on
the Etruscans and their art,” she
Baid.
Mark Jones, an expert on coins
and medals who assembled the
fakes from 26 museums in Britain
and abroad, said the exhibition
was “about deception, about lying
things whenever and wherever
they are made.”
“It’s evidence of what people saw
and valued in the art of tne past be
cause a faked antique shows much
more clearly than the real thing
what collectors valued. Fakes often
reflect what people want to be
lieve,” he said.
The show demonstrates how
fakes are exposed by electron mi
croscopes, ultraviolet light, X-rays
and radiocarbon dating
The British Museum's own ar
chaeologists in 1881 brought back
a Babylonian inscription from
what is now Iraq. It speaks of the
renovation of a temple and the
large revenues it received from the
king and ends up saying, “This is
not a lie, it is indeed the truth.”
But modern studies showed it
was a lie, written in about 1,000
B.C. and purporting to be 1,000
years older, probably by priests
who wanted to strengthen their
temple’s claim to rights and in
come.
The letter of Christ appears in
the “Ecclesiastical History” of Eu
sebius, a fourth-century bishop.
Alabama junkdealer testifies before grand jury in bomb case
The Associated Press
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. A federal
grand jury looking into the mail
bomb killing of a federal appeals
judge has recessed indefinitely
after hearing from the judge’s
widow and a junk dealer from
southeast Alabama.
The investigative body was in
session two days looking into the
Dec. 16 killing of U.S. 11th Circuit
Court of Appeals Judge Robert S.
Vance.
Helen Vance said Wednesday
she told the grand jury about the
package that killed her husband
and wounded her at their Moun
tain Brook home. She was unable

to attend his funeral but since has
virtually recovered.
After hearing her testimony
Tuesday, the grand jury returned
Wednesday without taking action
in the investigation.
The special grand jury reported
it will continue to investigate the
case and six others presented by
prosecutors, according to the fore
man’s report filed in court. No date

have said it will be called back
whenever it is needed.
The bomb that killed Vance was
the first of four sent to sites in the
Southeast. Another killed Robert
Robinson, a Savannah, Ga., lawyer
and city councilman, two days after
Vance’s death. The other two were
discovered and defused.

The grand jury also heard testi
mony from Robert Wayne O’Fer
rell, an Enterprise salvage dealer
who came under scrutiny after the
discovery that the type in a letter
he sent in 1988 to the 11th Circuit
appeared to match the type in
anonymous letters linked to the
mail bombs.
Armed with search warrants,
more than 100 investigators
searched O’Ferrell’s New Brockton
home, Enterprise business and
other property in Coffee County in
January.
Later, agents searched the prop
erty of Brian Joseph Fleming of
Enterprise and Walter Leroy
Moodv of Rex, Ga.
OTerrell and his wife, Mary
Ann, testified voluntarily at the re
quest of prosecutors rather than in
response to a subpoena, said their
lawyer, Paul Harden of Evergreen.
