Nursing opportunities in ROTC

Although FSU is in categoryIIB, it ranks seventh. A&Tranks eigth in the system.

A&T hires a small percen-tage of more assistant pro-fessors and instructors, accor-ding to the Chronicle. FSUhires more professors.

Because of these categoricaldifferences described in theChronicle, UNC-Chapel Hilland UNC-G pay their pro-fessors the most.

Senior year cadets may app-ly for either apsychiatric/mental healthnurse course or the operatingroom course for Army nurseofficers, after completing theofficer's basic course.

The nurses then work in Ar-my hospitals or health carefacilities, while cadets withoutscholarships spend three yearson active duty and three yearsin the Army Reserve. Scholar-ship graduates serve four yearsactively and two years in theReserve.

Army ROTC offers nursingstudents in its advanced courseup to $1,000 in each of the lasttwo years of the program.Students entering the two-yearprogram get paid for attendingboth basic and advanced campand can earn Army ROTCscholarships that pay tuition,books and lab fees. They alsocan earn up to $1,000 inallowances for each year thescholarship is in effect.

Cadets who complete a two-or four-year program and earna degree from an accreditednursing school, they canreceive their commissions andbe classified as clinical nurses.

Nursing students whograduate from the ROTC pro-gram at A&T can earn an at-tractive package of benefits.

How many is X? Bolles asks. Surveys indicate that each 100resumes sent out will get one to two, or two to three invitationsfor the job-hunter to come in for an interview. And that figurevaries Bolles warns depending on the survey and the expert.

But, consequently, the conclusion ofthis game is that the job-hunter should send out at least 500 resumes, (some experts say1,000, 1,200; others say there's no limit: send out 10-15 a day

keeping a card file on each and recording the outcome-responses, completed interviews and so forth.

That's the numbers game in a nutshell, Bolles says.Unfortunately, the best that the personnel systems of this

country have been able to come up with.So, for those prospective graduates that can't answer the

question "Is there life after college graduation?", Bolles hasauthored a revelation he likes to share: "The time to figure outwhere your parachute is, what color it is and to strap it on is«ow--and not when the vocational airplane that you are present-ly in is on fire and diving toward the ground.

Now, in order to get those six interviews, he must, accordingto Bolles, "mount a direct mail campaign, sending out Xresumes to prospective employers, with covering letters, orwhatever other kind of mail will titillate prospective employersand their screening committees (personnel departments, ex-ecutive secretaries) like: telegrams, special delivery letters orwhatever."

FYI: Parachute is a "practical manual for job-hunters andcareer-changers." Bolles takes a humorous and cynical butrealistic look at job-hunting and career-changing (naturally).

Bolles says in order for the job-hunter to get a job that hereally likes, he needs to have two or three job offers to chooseamong from different employers. In order to get those two orthree job offers, he ought to have at least six interviews at dif-ferent companies.

But others, withany luck however, will jointhe work force.Or, they will go about some systematical and methodical job-

hunt in search of success.According to Richard Nelson Bolles, author of What Col-

or Is Your Parachute?, this job-hunting business is nothingmore than a Numbers Game.

Some will probably opt to continue their studies in a graduateprogram somewhere if their scores and funds permit.

And some will join the ranks of the nation's 12 millionunemployed.

Spring semester 1983 not only marks thebeginning of anothernew year, but the beginning (of the end) for students who plan(hope) to graduate in May.

"I have had lots of ex-perience playing Internationalbasketball," siad Lanauze,who is at the hub of the Ag-gies' veteran frontcourt whichalso features 6-8 junior Joe Bi-nion and 6-7 senior AntoineCollins.

He is a well-traveled col-legian, having played fouryears in a Puerto Rican sum-mer league which took him toChina, Mexico and theDominican Republic todemonstrate his athletic talent.

After completing his highschool career, Lanauze attend-ed Dowling College inOakdale, Long Island for oneyear, then moved on to CarlAlbert. During one season atCarl Albert, Lanauze averaged11 points and 12 rebounds agame.

"Coach Corbett didn'tcome on with unrealistic pro-mises. He was sincere and Iwas immediately sold onA&T," said Lanauze.

Lanauze blocked 13 shots inhis first four games and con-tinues to lead the conference inthat category.

"Juan has added anotherdimension to our team," saidBinion. "I think I will profitby his presence. I think wecomplement each other well.When teams try to concentrateon stopping me, they alsomust contend with Juan."

Perhaps no one is morepleased with the presence ofLanauze than Binion.

If he fails, this team, which has unlimited talent,will not be remembered as a team at all.

Coach Don Corbett has shown that he is a capableleader. Restoring the team concept and guiding the

Aggies to a third consecutive Mid-Eastern AthleticConference championship will be a great test of thecoach's leadership.

Ironically, those players had outstanding in-dividual performances, and would have had morehad they not sacrificed them for team success.

This year's team is clearly as talented as any inthe past, but the players are not as team-oriented.Selfishness is plaguing this basketball powerhouseamong Black institutions like a dreaded disease.

And it could very well become an epidemic. Oncea single player becomes selfish, it destroys theteam concept and the chemistry is never the same.

Other notable performers who made their markdonned in Aggie Blue & Gold included L.J. Pipkin,Sinclair Colbert and Joe Howell.

Oh, don't forget the Bird. That's James "The Bird"Sparrow, who holds the A&T career scoring recordwith 2,020, and the highest per game average with18.8.

"I have been playing okay,but I know I can play better,"said Lanauze, who came toA&T via Carl Albert JuniorCollege ofPoteau, Okla. "I'mlooking forward to having twogood years here at A&T."

In the Miller/Aggie Classic,Lanauze put together back-to-back double-figure scoring ef-forts. He had 11 points and 12rebounds in a 63-60 win overElizabeth City on openingnight. He came back with 16points and 12 rebounds in thechampionship game in whichthe Aggies overwhelmed Liv-ingstone, 89-70.
