The Michigan Daily-Friday, October 15, 1982-Page 3 t c an did at e urges uty By KENT REDDING With elections less than three weeks away, a Democratic candidate for Lt. Gov. told a group of nearly 100 students that only cooperation among all state groups-including business, government, and labor-will enable Michigan to turn its economy around. "If there's one thing we can't afford in this state, it is to have one group set against another," Griffiths said, emphasizing that the University has to play a larger role providing expertise for state businesses. ALTHOUGH THE state and nation face difficult times ahead, the 72-year-old running mate of guber- natorial candidate James Blanchard predicted "ex- citing challenges ahead," and said "You can't afford to die now, especially if you're my age." Griffiths, who represented the 17th Congressional district in Detroit for 20 years, also denied that Blan- chard was being controlled by powerful unions in the state. "If he were really a puppet to the unions, I wouldn't be standing here," she said. When one student asked Griffiths about Republican candidate for governor Richard Headlee's claim that he would run Michigan like a business, Griffiths replied, "Which one, International Harvester?" Government is not a business. It was never meant to be." IN SPITE of a recent poll that showed the Blan- chard ticket to be nearly 20 percentage points ahead of the Republicans, Griffiths refused to say she was ,optimistic. "I remember Thomas E. Dewey," she said. Griffiths also urged students to get out and vote on " election day.

Some become sportscasters, others do beer commer- cials. For the past six years, tennis great Arthur Ashe has acted as a consultant t the Aetna Life and Casualty Company and it was as such that he visited Ann Arbor yesterday. SPEAKING to about 25 minority students who attended a meeting at Mosher-Jordan dormitory, Ashe and several other representatives from Aetna discussed employment oppor- tunities and tried to dispel myths about the insurance industry. Ashe, one of the first blacks to play professional tennis, has visited Ann Ar- bor several times, and praised the University's efforts to prepare students for their futures. "People are looked after fairly well here at Michigan, but that wasn't always the case. The school is big, it has enough money to hire people to guide people through their college days over and above this 'bull-session' with a professor," Ashe said at the meeting sponsored by the Office of Career Plan- ning and Placement.. Traditionally, the predominantly black schools - such as Howard or Xavier University - have been very successful in graduating students into entry-level management positions, he said. ASHE EXPLAINED, however, that most black schools now need as many students as possible just to meet their overheadacosts. As enrollment drops off due to cutbacks in financial aid and student loan eligibility, it becomes increasingly difficult for these schools to attract quality professors and provide modern facilities, he added. Ashe stressed that a student's job selection process should start during the first year at college. Ashe said students should decide what they what to do and then "go for it." While a student can change directions at anytime, having a direction is the first step in preparing for a job, he said. Ashe also gave advice to students ,worried about job interviews. In preparing for an interview, students should first realize that the recruiter begins evaluating the applicant as soon as he or she enters the room, she said. AETNA representative Dennis Hen- derson explained that recruiters look for competence, motivation, integrity, and a quality he called "interper- sonal."

The "golden opportunity" is available to the student who stands in the middle of the "hot marriage of ac- counting and computer sciences," Ashe said. "The hell with (motivation, in- tegrity, and personality), if you have competence in these fields, we'll make you a nice person," he said. T-SHIRT Ann Arbor's fastest!
