ing students into public institutions and forcing the gov- ernment to pay more in funding to support these addition- al students. The net effect of_ thi~ c~tback will be the closing of a n_umber of smaller institutions. Some of the private pres- tigious s('hools, such as Harvard and Yale, won't be af- fected because they'll always have students who want to attend. And there are selective liberal arts colleges that will survive. But the greatest risk of all is to the small liberal arts colleges in less densely populated, or rural, areas, in states that are losing population. I feel a number of them will close. You ad~ the decline i~ school-age population and the d_ecrease m federal fundmg, and you have a crisis situa- tion for some small colleges.

P LE E STAND BY: The Old Globe Theatre's historic the national broadcast Tuesday mght over PBS of "The Skin of Our Teeth" - came off with a minimum of stumbles. And artistic director Jack O'Brien' mixing of theater and television was masterful. Perhaps too masterful. At the opening of the third act, actor Jonathan McMurtry, playing the part of "Stage Manager," came out to announce that several actors had fallen ill. It would be necessary, he said, for crew members to fill in. From tt.e booth, O'Brien's reassuring words came over a house speaker and rnto homes aero s America: "We're with you, Jon. Just keep going." McMurtry did, of cour e, and so did the cast; it was all in Thornton Wilder's script. But in the staged confusion, a techmc1an at WNET, the PBS affiliate in New York, apparently decided to spare our Globe embarrassment. He cut from the theater to his station's logo. SAN DIEGO SHUFFLE: Cover boy: Steve Garvev was back in San Diego this week, his second visit since signing his multimillion-dollar pact with the Padres. Garvey's frenetic Tuesday schedule included posing for the cover of Sport magazine (April issue), North County Entertainer (March). SD Magazine (Apnl), and a raft of publicity stills.

THE SAN DIEGO UNION la Jolla Parishes Helping Job-Seekers

D-2

Willig said the job program bas benefitted La Jolla's unemployed, even before they have got- ten a job. "When a person loses a job, there is a fast growth of insecurity and anger. As soon as they get started in this process of evaluating their skills, they feel better," he said. "Isn't it wonderful the community is reaching out and doing this without waiting for the government? I hope seeing these people using their talents this way is contagious and spreads elsewhere." Finn said that she has already had inquiries from a church in Newport Beach about visiting there to tell them how to set up a program like this. "We obviously can't expand this program to cover a large area, but I hope other neighbor- hoods begin to do this," Finn said. "It is import- ant for the unemployed to run the program themselves. It is their program. We are there to provide expertise."

"We are now in the process of printing the list by job categories and calling those unemployed in our program who will fit one of those jobs. We don't get the job for them. They have to do that themselves," Finn said. Doris Dee is one of the unemployed persons who have volunteered time to work on the job program at All Hallows. "I have the resumes that have been turned in and am helping pre- pare a job list," Dee said. "These are mature people who are highly competent, many with high specialization. One of the problems when they are looking for work, is employers don't recognize that competence if it isn't in their specific area. There is very little scrutiny of people's ability to shift gears." Dee is an unemployed teacher of art history who last worked in her field for three years at UCSD. "I have done other things just to live - pub- lishing, translating and other creative projects - but not teaching. It is 10 years of training

When people lose their jobs, they will usually turn to a private employment firm or the state Employment Development Department. One man asked his pastor, "Can I expect help from my church?" Response to this question has led to develop- ment of a jobs program at the All Hallows and Mary Star of the Sea Catholic parishes in La Jolla. Monsignor Patrick Fox, pastor of All Hal- lows, and Monsignor James Gilfillan, pastor of Mary Star of the Sea, were disturbed about a Jetter they received from a man whp had been unemployed for six months and wondered if anyone in the La Jolla community, known for its well-to-do atmosphere, cared about those without work. "There is a terrible stress in losing a job. It is like losing a loved one," Fox said. "Our empha- sis with this program is on hope. We had one man who has been attending our meetings say that even if no job came out of this, at least he knew the church was reaching out to him." The program is being coordinated by Sara Finn, public relations director of the University of San Diego, but most of the actual work, she said, is being done by the un!!mployed them- selves. "We just provided the resources from the parish, the community and the university, for helping people re-evaluate their situation and to feel good about themselves again," Finn said. ·'We are trying to serve the La Jolla area, but not restricting ourselves to Catholics." The group of unemployed has met several times at All Hallows and has had instruction in preparing resumes, conducting job interviews and evaluating their skills. Many of the unem- ployed in La Jolla, including professionals, have little experience in resume-writing or inter- 1ewin~•.for a job, since they have never been out of work before. Finn has also rounded up employers to attend the meetings and list job openings with the pro-

"One of the things I have been doing in recent years, is counseling people on career changes," Willig said. "It is sometimes hard to get them to look beyond the slot they are in because it in- volves a risk. If they are unemployed it is easi- er. They are willing to look at options." Willig, a member of All Hallows Parish, said he tries to convince people that they are not just looking for a job, but are seeking peace, joy and happiness. "Rarely do we plan our careers with this in 1iew. Many people just fall into a particular career by happenstance," he said. "They should be seeking what is God's will for their lives in view of their God-given gifts and talents."
