6 DECEMBER, 1965 The Panther Departmental News Department News Department News Department News) mmm Business Administration Department The Business Forum taking its leadership steps into Clark’s academic . spotlight presented one of its part-time faculty members, Mr. Ben Brown, to speak before the group on the subject “Job Opportunities.” Mr. Brown’s text was cen tered around “responsibility and taking advantage of opportuni ties.” With doors opening up in all directions today, there ex ist many opportunities for the well-trained, creative, aggressive and self-confident person, who is able to take over responsi bility and accept them willingly. The man or woman who is ready to be a leader in the Ur ban League, the Economic Op portunity Program, In-Service Training Programs of IBM, the new opportunities in the Airline Industry and the many thousand other opportunities opening up for young people today will be the ones who will succeed, if they have the before mentioned qualities. Mr. Brown used many phrases which express the feel ings of the typical Clarkite. “We as Negroes will have to measure up, we will have to become un- lazy and go out and let busi ness leaders knows we want to be a part of their programs and doors will be open for you.” We will have to put aside those antique ideas of color because according to Mr. Brown, “In 1965 you can’t think colored. You must think BIG!” When you get an opportu nity to work, take over all the responsibilities that go along with that opportunity and as Kahlil Gibran has said, “when you work you fulfill a part of the earth’s furtherest dream as signed to you.” So work dili gently and fulfill your part of the earth’s dreams. Veronica Simms, President Bea Madison, Reporter Biology Department Two Biology Department fac ulty members have been award ed doctorate degrees. Their degrees give Clark a Biology faculty nearly completely staffed by holders of the Ph.D. degree. The new doctorates are Win fred Harris and Norman E. Kowal. Harris, a 1955 Clark gradu ate, has been on the institution’s faculty since graduation, first as an assistant while earning the master’s degree, then as an in structor after completing ad vanced study at Atlanta Uni versity. Now an assistant professor, Harris completed doctoral study at the University of West Vir ginia in the field of genetics and has been granted an additional leave from Clark to do fur ther study at the University of Pennsylvania. Kowal received the doctorate from Duke University where his field of specialization was plant ecology. A native of New Jer sey, he is a member of the Eco logical Society of America, the The program committee of the Business Forum with their able chairman, Mr. Walter Lee Burden, presented as a guest speaker Mr. Frederich Barnes, Sales Representative for the Hamilton Management Corpo ration and the Alexander Ham ilton Life Insurance Company. Mr. Barnes discussed Finan cial Planning. He stated, “that the first thing a college graduate should do is to obtain enough insurance so that if he should die, his insurance would cover all his debts.” He discussed at length the different types of insurance, making it distinctly clear that it is best to obtain insurance while you are young. “Don’t think you have plenty of time because it isn’t neces sarily so. You never know when your time is near.” The second step in financial planning is to establish a sav ings account for emergencies. But if you think a savings ac count is a good way to make money you are very much mis taken. Savings accounts do not make money for you. If a bank pays 4 Vi% interest and the present cost of living is 4%, then your profits are only V2 %. The third step in financial planning is long-range saving. This kind of savings may be accomplished by one of three ways. (1) Go into business for yourself; (2) Go into real estate businesses or, (3) go into the stock market. All these ways de pend on a large amount of work ing capital. The best answer is Mutual Finance. What is Mu tual Finance? It is an organiza tion which began in 1893 in which a group of business men decided that by selling stock to a large number of people they would get more capital and would be able to invest in more companies. A Mutual Finance Company will invest in Blue Chip companies (established companies) like A.T.&T., Coca- Cola, General Motors and at the same time they will invest in young companies like Kaiser Aluminum for growth potential. Through the rules of diversifi cation, selection, and good su pervision, one can obtain a profitable dividend on his in vestment over a long period of time; most of the time receiv ing from 8% to 30% dividends. Mr. Barnes’ address was spiced with humor and he de livered his message in a manner that conveyed to his audience that he was well informed on the subject of “financial plan ning.” To the members of the pro gram committee of the Business Forum, “keep the good work up and continue to show Clark College that we are the group to keep your eyes on the future business leaders of tomorrow.” Veronica Simms, President Bea Madison, Reporter British Ecological Society and Phi Beta Kappa.
