K. lane Adcock, director of career levelopment and placement at IUK, aid Our career is our livelihoodg it letermines where we live, who our friends are and how we spend our leisure time. Because of the enormous impact it has on our lives there is a big emphasis on researching and learning about a career before pursuing the education we need, she continued, This investigation also provides the op- portunity for people to evaluate their own skills and personality to see which career they may fit best, llPersons tend to change careers a number of times throughout their lives, Adcock related, Knowing what a parti- cular career requires makes it easier and less tramatic to make the change. You may be making a switch to a job that requires different skills but the same type of personality. -Story Courtesy of Olivia Maddox x l 5 V --r,.-H QL i X .NX g I .'.'

Students 'Green Up' For St. Pat's Although the IUK St. Patrick's Day Dance was held on March 29, a few days after the traditional St. Patrick's Day, the students at IUK still decked themselves out in their wildest green atire and headed for the IBN Saud Grotto. The St. Pat's party festivities began at 8 pm. and ran through 12 midnight. The dance floor soon became filled to capacity with students who sought to lose their week-long frustrations to the beat of their favorite song. The D.l. saw to it that the evening progressed at a rapid pace by playing only the latest hits, and honoring every request and dedication. Songs by Madonna, Prince, The New Edition, and Bryan Adams rocked through the walls of the IBN Saud Gotto. When asked what kind of time she had at the party, Laura Hamren an- swered, lllt was a complete blast. Another IUK student, lon Meadors, added to that answer by saying, the Grotto is definitely the hottest spot in Kokomo tonight. In order to get an over-all view of how the Student Union Board felt about the dance the Prometheus re- porters asked loe Dishon to comment on the dance. ln response he said, l'm surprised! At first l thought the thing was going to flop because we weren't getting a high turn-out. But by 8:30 or 9:00 everything was in full swing. lf having fun was the purpose of the evening then the evening can be considered a complete success. For once again the IUK students proved to Kokomo that llLife Begins At 40 . . . IUK Student Phil Hellrigal arrives at the St. Pat's Dance with his date just in time for the festivities.
