Show PCE 6 THE THUNDERB1RD TUESDAY OCTOBER 28, 1986 An education should be for more than 'marketability' (continued trom page incapacitates a person for work.

We also need to let our students and the public know that ve ( are about learning in the broadest sense We are not, heaven forb.d, unsympathetic to our students' desire to get a job, have a career, to make a living At the same time, we need to point out that there is no shred of evidence to show that exposure to the liberal arts , Finally, we need to be forceful in pointing out that a college education is concerned with something more than training and "marketability." Our graduates are not Simply "products" to be marketed. An education that does not include exposure to the humanities, to philosophy, history and literature simply cannot be called an education.
