ACC instructor, Keith Titus, a prominent local activist in the anti-nuclear movement , said he hopes funds once spent on nuclear weapons may be diverted in the future to other uses such as education or the creation of more civilian jobs.

In addition to Discover For the Adult Learner, MOIS (Michigan Occupation Information System) is now available for students wanting career ideas or statistics. Although the Discover system offers information on a national level, MOIS relays occupational data on a national level and also as it applies directly to the state of Michigan. Some of the topics covered on the MOIS concerning specific careers include general duties required, materials and equipment used, working conditions and requirements, average salaries for specific areas and the employment outlook. Both computer systems are updated annually and are currently programmed to relay data for 1990. Students should not be discouraged about using the computers if they aren't sure which career they would like to pursue. According to Yvonne Norkowski, coordinator for the Career Planning and Placement Office, if you don't know what you want to do, the computers will ask you questions and match occupations to your answers.
