\t Anheuser-Busch, brewing is an art.
\lo one takes more time or goes to
-nore effort or expense than we do in
Drawing the most popular family of
Deers in the world.
We take great pride in this
distinction, yet this distinction carries
.vith it certain responsibilities.
Beer is a beverage to be enjoyed
oy adults socially—with family and
riends at home... in your clubs,
-estaurants and at special events. It is
also the beverage of moderation, and
good judgment should be used when
you drink.
Thankfully, the vast majority of
those who consume beer do so in m
moderation. Nevertheless, anything
less than responsible consumption c
alcoholic beverages is detrimental tc
the individual and society. We at
Anheuser-Busch certainly are
concerned about you, our valued
customer. Accordingly we are
dedicated to the support of research
education, and treatment programs
aimed at combatting alcoholism and
alcohol abuse.

Faculty advise would-be graduate students
Students interested in pursuing a
master's degree rr/ight find the com¬
ments of CSUF faculty members David
Ross and William Head worth thinking
Ross, assistant dean of graduate
studies and research, and Head, acting
director of career placement, discussed
their views on job prospects for gradu¬
ate students in a recent interview.
According to Ross, the areas of edu¬
cation, business and agriculture are
promising areas of employment, and
job prospects for engineering majors are
"very bright."
"Employers look toward (CSUF)
more in the technical fields," agreed
Head. "They (employers) tend to come
here from the business and government
communities."
The seeming preference employers
have for graduate students in the tech¬
nical fields need not be discouraging to
those interested in other areas, Ross
"There is a future for English, foreign
language and liberal studies majors," be
said,adding that those students shouldn't
"limit themselves" to their one particu¬
lar field. "The critical thought and eva¬
luation skills that they have are rare...
everything else (required by jobs outside
that area).is trainable." ,.
According to Head, "Ph.D's might be
required for majors which are more pro¬
fessional than technical. For those who
are going into counseling and psychol¬
ogy, we (the career placement center)
are certainly not as helpful because they
are such a select and narrow group, and
most of the employers are interested in
technical-area students."
Is the job outlook in general belter or
worse for graduate students?
"The situation varies." Ross said.
"The economy is improving, so I ima¬
gine that more people are getting
employment."
According to Ross, there are a variety
of reasons students seek a master's
degree.
—To prepare for job mobility.
—To go into management.
—To enhance'* career that has
already been'staned.
—To become a community leader
(more education means more know¬
ledge.)
"The popularity of the MBA shows
that a lot of students are looking for
jobs with more money," Ross said. The
degree is becoming so popular that
recent studies show that there might be
aglut."
In the event that MBA recipients
glutted the market, "Everyone who got
a master's might not get a high-paying
job." he said. "Thai's the problem witha
BA; sometimes people feel that they're
not getting paid what they're worth."
Ross said that it is worth a student's
time and effort to work on'a master's
degree after getting a bachelor's.
"Some students graduate and say that
they will return later, but theri they
acquire families and debts." he said.
"There are pros and cons to continuing.
Maybe one needs to get out and work,
mature, and learn about life outside ihe
'Dead Zone' a tribute to author and director
Once again, another Stephen King
tale finds its way to the big screen.
Hollywood had latched on to a gold¬
mine in King, and King has likewise
found one in Hollywood. Dead Zone i;
thus far the sixth work by King to find a
home in America's theaters. The others
include Carrie, The Shinning, Creep-
show, Cujo and the TV movie Salem's
Lot. Also slated for future release arc
Cristine and Flrestarter.
Dead Zone's director, David Cro-
nenberg, more than reaffirms himself
as a quality filmmaker, to my mind at
least. Cronenberg last graced movie¬
goers with "
Videodrome.
The work "horror" has lately come to
define films in the same genre, but a step
above the usual cheapo, blood and gore
mutilation epics. Dead Zone takes a dif¬
ferent direction entirely by finding"a
medium between the two; It might be
called a bloodless blood and gore film.

identity of a mysterious lady killer who

much as I have skimmed King's novel.
the film is a fairly faithful retelling.
A major strongpoint is ihe film's abil¬
ity to draw the audience into the action
and tell this very improbable story in a
very intelligent, logical, credible way.
The audience is esselially made to ask
itself: "What would /do?"
The question posed by D*ad Zone is
frightening. It is an intriguing look into
the realms of alternate realities and how
they might affect the world around us. I
highly regard this film, ll is a high point
