Teaching,business gain in popularity
United Press International
LOS ANGELES - Careers in business and teaching are becoming more popular among incoming college freshman, while the number of students planning to enter the computer industry is declining, a study indicated.
The study, conducted by researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles and the American Council of Education, said the proportion of college freshmen preparing for futures in computer science and programming has dropped by 50 percent in the past two years.
Kenneth Green, the associate director of the study, said, "Computers have become a generic tool. The mystique is getting out of computers."
Researchers blame part of the decline on the slumping computer industry, which, in its heyday, attracted hordes of incoming freshmen to computer science and related majors.
According to the study released Sunday, only 4.4 percent of the freshman class of 1985 said they desired careers as computer programmers or analysts.
The strongest increases were majors in business and teaching. Interest in business, which has gained steadily since the 1970s, reached a record high in the study, with 23.9 percent of all incoming freshmen signing up for business majors.
Freshman interest in secondary and elementary school teaching rose from 5.5 percent in 1984 to 6.2 percent in the fall of 1985.
The study is based on questionnaires completed by 279,985 incoming college freshmen across the country.
Alexander W. Astin, director of the Higher Education Research Institute at the UCLA Graduate School of Education, said many of the students interviewed for the study were inclined to view computers as a tool for use in other fields, rather than as a career.
In a Federal Register notice published Monday, the agency said it was seeking more comment from consumers on petitions by Heublein Spirits Group and Joseph E. Seagram and Sons Inc., seeking to

change federal rules for minimum alcohol content in such products as vodka, gin, rum and whiskey.
Current rules require that those products be at least 80 proof. Anything less than that, as well as distilled spirits, must be labeled "diluted."
However, Seagram's, another
large distiller, has suggested that the words "reduced alcohol" be allowed for hard liquor that have had alcohol removed through a special evaporation process.
Seagram's said its centrifugal film evaporation process reduced alcohol content while maintaining the distinctive character, taste, aroma and color of the full-powered product.
Under Seagram's proposal, the word diluted would be retained for low-alcohol products in which alcohol
content is reduced by adding water.
The Seagram plan also would establish a minimum alcohol content of 48 proof for reduced alcohol products.
Federal officials said they have received 493 comments on the labeling change, but few of them are from consumers, so they are extending the public comment period until April 15.
Artist sculpts a $1 million tree in Utah
United Press International
BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS, Utah — A Swedish architect got so enthusiastic about sculpting an 80-foot asbract tree on the Bonneville Salt Flats that he spent $1 million of his own money to build it.
Karl Momen, the architect, called his work a hymn to the universe.
Others are not so effusive. One critic said it looked like the sign for a Union oil station, and another proposed a retaliation by constructing a
giant Swedish meatball outside Stockholm.
The sculpture holds six brightly colored concrete balls high above the white salt of the desert flats.
The artist, who is known in Europe for his paintings and smaller sculptures, spent four years and more than $1 million of his money to complete the work, which stands about 100 miles west of Salt Lake City. It is visible for 17 miles on a clear day.
Momen said he would copyright the design and would sell lithograph prints and small bronze copies to defray his costs.
The sculpture, which will be unveiled Saturday, contains 150 tons of steel, 200 tons of concrete and 100 tons of crushed Utah rocks. Momen described it as concrete art, constructive art with some tendency of the abstract.
A former hospital architect in his 60s, Momen conceived the project while driving along Interstate 60 west
of Salt Lake City on a coast-to-coast trip one day in. August 1981.
The brown trunk juts more than 80 feet into the air. The bails, the biggest being 13 feet in diameter, are covered with brightly colored crushed rock and are hung on branches.
A plaque on the trunk will contain the poem "Ode to Joy" and Momen's words: "A hymn to our universe whose glory and dimension is beyond all myth and imagination."
