...large majority of undergraduates and graduate students do not end up as teachers, and the Faculty should be more ready to accept this simple fact and to adjust its academic rules accordingly.

Edward Kenefick, general manager of Chicago's WBBM-TV, got the idea for the show when Urban League officials asked him to help find employment for young Negroes. The newspapers were full of want-ads, but only one-seventh of ghetto families see a paper, while two-thirds have TV sets...
