good jobs in the business field, many in management, largely because of their volunteer experience. There are rewards and a certain magic in volunteer work missing from regular paying employment. For example, one has the satisfaction of repaying the debt to society for all that has been received from it. Volun teer work is usually casual, without the tensions and anxieties connected with a regular job. Basically, the work is fun and done because one believes in the prin ciples and ideas of the organization or project. This last concept is very important since it opens the individual to friendships, brings personal benefit, and provides a means to test one’s potentials. Ms. Dorsey states that large corporations encourage their employees to do volunteer work. “They (the corpo rations) know that volunteer work can break the routine of daily life and perk up interest and enthusiasm on and off the job. The fact is that a person without outside interests is a very flat individual indeed.” The author has a long history of voluntarism which she believes helped her achieve professional success. Ms. Dorsey is presi dent of Goucher College in Baltimore and is a member of four corporate boards. She attended the Decade for Women Conference in Kenya in 1985 as the only educa tor among the U.S. delegation. Voluntarism can be nurtured at an early age by en couraging children and young people to join organiza tions, civic groups, or to give their time helping in hospi tals, libraries, old age homes, pet shelters, etc. An indi vidual who was never compelled to give his or her free time to a needy cause, will certainly have a hard time of it as an adult. The benefits — the joy, the caring, the friendships, fulfillment and giving — are all part of a lifelong pro gram in a structured, constructive life. FILBERT SWIRL BUTTER CAKE This is the recipe of a wonderful, typical old-country cake, easy to make but delicious. INGREDIENTS 11/2 cups filberts (hazelnuts), finely ground 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1/4 cup milk 1 tablespoon rum 2 sticks (1/2 pound) unsalted butter at room temperature 1/3 cup sugar 4 eggs at room temperature 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 21/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder Confectioners’ sugar for garnish METHOD 1. Preheat the oven to 375° F. But ter and flour a 9-inch kugelhopf or ring mold. 2. Mix together the ground nuts and cocoa. Moisten with milk and rum. Set aside. 3. Cream the butter for several minutes until fluffy and pale. Gradu ally beat in the sugar, 1 or 2 tea- blespoons at a time, until it is all incorporated. Then add the eggs, one at a time, blending thoroughly after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. 4. Mix together the flour and bak ing powder. Fold into the batter until blended. 5. Measure out 1 1/2 cups of the batter and blend well with the nut- cocoa mixture. Layer half the re maining vanilla batter into the pre pared pan. Smooth with a spatula. Then add the nut batter and smooth again. Dip a fork down into the bot tom vanilla layer and lift it up in a big swirling motion, partially mixing the light and the dark batters. Repeat about six times around the mold. Add the remaining vanilla batter and smooth the top. 6. Bake immediately in the lower third of the oven for about 50 min utes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes; then unmold into a wire rack to cool thoroughly. Dust with confectioners’ sugar before serving.
