What Manner of Man is the Average Accountant?
Article Abstract:
A research project conducted by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) sought to describe the characteristics of the average accountant by examining Kuder Preference Record- Vocational and Kuder Preference Record-Personal forms completed by 578 members of the Institute. These were supplemented by other information. When compared to the average man, the accountant is more interested in computational, clerical and literary activities instead of in social service, mechanical and outdoor activities. The dissatisfied accountant is less interested in clerical and computational activities than the satisfied one. The profile generated by the research may aid a career counselor in directing a student away from accounting when he differs substantially from the profile, particularly in this area. No differences were noted between age-groups of accountants or firm sizes with which the professional is associated.

Time for a Rethink
Article Abstract:
Congress is currently considering a foreign aid bill with a $15.8 billion price tag. The bill's main legislation deals with the foreign assistance program, while its secondary part, called the Kissinger bill, deals with aid for Central America. The Kissinger bill reflects recommendations of the Kissinger Commission and the Carlucci Commission. Two sources of dispute are: the bill's five-year package of economic and military aid and the issue of aid to El Salvador. Many are concerned about a five-year program, considering the political instability of Central America and whether aid should be given El Salvador in light of the government's disregard of human right.

The elk of Yellowstone
Article Abstract:
The elk of Yellowstone National Park may have overpopulated the park and may be overgrazing it. They have reduced the biodiversity that has been the pride of the park according to Charles Kay, a wildlife ecologist and an adjunct assistant professor at Utah State University. He has studied the elk herd of Yellowstone for years. Park biologists think he is mistaken in his conclusions. He asserts wildlife management in the park amounts to ecological malpractice and scientific fraud.
