Today
The weather
Fair spring weather continues its disappearing act today. Skies'will be
cloudy, with rain expected, and temperatures will be in the low 70s.
Fourth degree
AND YOU THINK you're having a hard time finding a job? Consider the
case of poor John Rademaker. Rademaker, 35, will receive four
degrees from Lake Superior State College in Sault Ste. Marie tomorrow, and
he still can't find any work. The nine-year Army veteran and former ditch
digger will receive a bachelor's degree in industrial technology and three
associate degrees in electronic engineering technology, computer
engineering technology, and business data processing at commencement. "I
decided in 1977 that I was fed up with odd jobs and would like to live on
$18,000 a year," he said. "Folks told me you needed a college degree to get
that kind of money, so I signed up. Then I figured if one diploma is good, four
would be even better. I still think I'm right, that somebody will come
through." But even degree collecting can't guarantee big bucks.
Rademaker said he has had several interviews, but no job offers. "In the
meantime, there's still a lot of ditches to be dug," he philosophized. Q
Trading in Playboy
T HE FEDERAL TRADE Commission said its decision to cut its
subscription to Playboy magazine did not have anything to do with
anger at the company. According to Neal Friedman, an FTC spokesman,
they never looked at the pictures anyway, adding they only look at the ads.
Friedman said magazines such as Playboy are used by the agency to look for
deceptive advertising; but it was decided that the ads in Playboy could be
seen in other publications the FTC receives. "You may not get the center-
fold, but you do get the same ads," Friedman said. FTC chairman James
Miller said that Playboy was one of 47 magazines the agency is cancelling in
an effort to cut spending. He said cancelling those subscriptions, and
limiting the number of copies received of 99 other magazines, would save
$74,000, or 18.7 percent of the agency's $400,000 publications budget. Q
