Lise Gunby, a journalism student at Durham Collegen Oshawa, is getting a tasteof what the newspaper profession is about in her summer job as reporter with The Huron Expositor, Seaforth. (Huron Expositor photo) Study zeros in... from page2A educationare wome Here in Canada, wome represent close to half o • all post-s.econdar students - a highe proportion even than i the United States. Over 'the past tw decades, OECD countrie have enjoyed industria productivity increases o over four percent an nually. However, whe the growing service orientation in family expenditures is taken into account, it is not at al clear that their own demands for manufac tured goods will grow fast enough to keep pace with their growing labourforces. If this proves .to be the case, the implication is that 'most OECD nations including Canada will beforced to broadentheir ,reliance on in- ternational trade and look to wider markets for their industrial output. The conclusion reached by .Mr. Jenness is that with the evolution to service-oriented,$ trepreneurs will almost n. certainly find it more n economical to use part - f time help or - to lease y workers in order to avoid ✓ the' overhead costs of n regular employees. Who winds up in these o "secondary jobs"? Usually those with the 1least bargaining power in the labour market, the least interest in .a per - n manent carer, or thew least qualified. Often this le means women, par- c ticularly married fl 1women, andyoung a'people. r Mr. Jenness has been a c senior Economic Council j staff member since 1973. • w He directedthe last three b Annual Reviews, and sh before 'that the Council study'PeopleandJobs". th In addition, he has a long- w standing history of fa workingwith the federal re government of Canada, co including five years as co Director of Planning and sp Evaluation for the m Department of Man- jo power and Immigration. Initiative is •a necessi for a journalist, a cording to a second ye journalism student Durham College. Lise Gunby, former of Ashfield, is getting h first practical experienc as a reporter on h summer job with th Hurop ExpositorSeaforth. Initiative is somethin that cannot be taught i the classroom, says Lis For her, initiative mean to care about your wor She is surprised at thejo she gets out of even th smallest stories. "Journalism givesyo such spectrum," sh says. Despite her editor' promise at the beginnin of the summer, that the were going to work\her t death, Lise is more en thusiastic about he career since she starteactual work experience. She used to thin political stories would b the most fascinating, buher Expositor job ha shown her even municipal politi9s caninteresting and she enjoys all the writing shdoes for the paper. She writes a consumecolumn and works on a craftt -eolumn -- with ranothewriter for• the paper. She has done council reports,features and found local stories on national issues such as \the refugee crisisShe hasn't chased a fire truck yet, billt her apartment is next to the town's firehall so she really can't miss the siren. Some night before the end of the. summer she expects she'll be off in the night to cover a fire. "It is hard to find issues in a small town because everyone is so friendly," she observes, but she has been surprised at the things she has found interestin. ty c- ar at ly er e ere n g n e. s k. y e u e s g y 0 r d t be e r FRENCHAMUST When she' ' finishes school. .next year she ants to go to France to am the language so she an speak French uently. Her goal is to be political journalist, eporting from Ottawa. A areer as a politicalournalist requires a orking knowledgeof oth English and French, efeels. She was frustrated by e language barrier hen she interviewed a mily of Vietnamese fugees who had just me to ' Canada, and nsiders an ability to eak both languages a ust for a Canadian urnalist. There are many things economies, increasing numbers 'of the labourforce will have non permanent jobs, either S$ from their own in-clin.ations, the dictates of consumerdemands,- orsimply the competitivepressures of wage costs. Obviously, servicescannot be stockpiled as can material goods, and she would like to do when site finishes school. She wants to travel, learn French, take economics and political science courses at university and some days she has the romantic notion of going off to live in a garret in Paris. She wants to be a novelist. It is her. real ambition. She hopes to take a course in the novel bcause'' "writing is a craft; talent is not enough". Initiative is something Lise had without being. aware of it. When her class was assigned to interview a prominent person, she and a friend decided to interview Robert. Stan- field and John Diefen- baker. They went to Ottawa and stayed in a hostel for a weekend last year. They were there when the federal election was called. Mr. Stanfield's office would not return her call so Lise called Joe Clarks office. An aid told her Mr. Clark did not have 30 minutes to spare for an interview before the election and.asked if she wished to speak to anyone else. She asked to interview Mr. Stanfield and a return call laterarranged her interview with him. She asked ,for 30 minutes and he gave her a 45 - minute interview. While she was getting her in- terview with Mr. Stan- field, her friend was interviewing Mr. Diefenbaker. LIKES NEEDHAM She enjoys Richard Needham, Globe and Mail columnist, and he once wrote, students often call and ask to see him and then never show up. Lise called and asked for a meeting and he agreed to see her. She met him at his office at the Globe and Mail and during the last months of school before summer she had several v'is'its with him. She said she w.as surprised that he would take the time to talk with a journalism student but found°°he was probably just as surprised that she came to see him. She used to think Needham had a "market on truth", but as she grows older she is not as swe, He once said everything is good and bad and that's the glory of it. It Founds good but do we let the bad things stay because that's the glory ofit sheasks. Lise was raised on a farm which she remembers as a joyful experience. Her childhood was wonderful because of it. Herparents, Merle and Sheila Gunby, farm in Ashfield and formerly near Burlington, but she doesn't think she could, return to life on the farm. She chose to go to a college in Toronto and ;she likes the city. She worked with mentally retarded for two summers and originally took a year in Mental Retardation Counselling before enrolling in journg1ism.. "People think it requires patience to work with the mentally retarded but it really does not require special patience," she says. "You must go slower". Her immediate aim in journalism is to become knowledgeable about world affairs and current events. When she in- terviewed the Viet- namese refugees she knew little about Viet- nam: She learned as she did the interview. She hopes to be familiar with the background issue to a story before she does the interview. That's a good journalist. ople articul Hugill family meets forfirst time The first Hugill reunion was held on Sunday, August 12 in Goderich Harbour Park, with Pearl Cummings convener.
