t looks like I finally ated a small bit of rest in the Business iety column which'I 6 but mfortmately it about due to 'a . troversial topic. 'Ihat' - be expected but now ' at I have your attention ill domy best to try ,3 retain- it. As 'I write *5 column, (early Monday rfling) , I realize I Ven't the luxury of tide—that I stress the rst person because the ' lumn iswritten by self and doesn't receive y input from "the udents. This is a undabout way of, saying ' opinions expressed in , is column are not t mine 50* if I hang self out to dry it will only through the work my next articles which ll clarify my points or tify my position.’ USINESS ' soulmf Just to continue a bit on last week's article, I don't know whether I should apologize to any of the faculties mentioned or justifi my position taken. let me just say to anybody who I offended by stating an untruth then I am sincerely sorry, but \ if I rubbed you the wrong way'and was correct in doing so, then don't think for one minute I just apologized to you. 'Ihe title of the article was "What are You Planning for Next Year?" ' but seemed to get lost in thediscussion of training, education, oil fields, university roles and banks. ‘Just to summarize what I said and meant was that a graduate from a business program gets trained to face the issues which will arrive in day-to—day life. in the business world and he will meet this ‘ challenge because he/she usually receives a job pertaining to business and has an opportunity to use the skills leanred from 4 ‘ years at UPEI. I feel this is the objective of the Business Administration THE UPEI SUN,Thursday,Nov.23,l978,page 13 I program. Now for the tough part. In mentioning the other faculties ‘ (Liberal Arts, not Science or Engineering) on campus I said they, upon completion of their degree, may be better educated than a B.B.A. by which I mean ~ a well—rounded student or a person who has touched many areas. The difficulty as far as I am concerned ' arises out‘of the objectives of the student. I can safely say a B.B.A. student wants to get a job in the business. world and will upon , graduation. Does the B.A student want to get a job practicing skills he learned? Yes they do, but from a practical and. realistic standpoint do they honestly think they will? I think that the way our economy is today the liberal arts students will have more trouble than they need when it comes to a job in their discip- line. In speaking with a number of people over the weekend, I seem to gather that they are looking to learn and get . educated in something they like and are not oar" NINE. .1057 Mama)- 7.95 This week comments are a reflection such an instance.

His talent for the piano was also demonstrated in such popular instrumentals as "’Ihe Homecoming" and "The Entertainer". Throughout the evening his ability as a song writer was also displayed. One composition in , particular is entitled , "Peace, Hope and love", a song written about six months ago. Bert and Rick Tersteeg added a special flair to - the evening when they introduced for the first time at "The Exchange" the captivating music of the cello.

Here is where the B.A. and B.B.A. go in their separate ways. Is this wrong? 'Ib each his own is an overused statement but fits the bill here. The dictionary uses the words educated and trained interchangeably but I feel an educated person has touched many areas lightly and a trained person concen- trates the majority of his efforts in one area. 'mis is an important distinction. To our engineering students and science majors who thought that they were being spoken of, then rest easy and keep on studying. Especially the engineers because we business people will be looking to hire a top— notch engineer to work for us in the future. (Have I started again?)
