Business Men Review Cases Of Graduates What to do after graduation? That is the problem of the members of the 1928 graduating class of the Univer sity of Nebraska as it is of similar classes in other institutions, which wind up thteir collegiate work in June each year. Business sees it from another an gle, namely, what to do with the college graduates. Believing that the opinions of business on what it expects of the college graduate would be of interest to Nebraska's graduat ing class, The Daily Nebraskan has asked a few representatives of the business world to indicate what prob lems the graduate must face and what situations they must meet. A series of articles as the -result of this inquiry will be published daily in the Nebraskan during the coming week. Hale Holden, president of the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy railroad, will present the first discus sion in Tuesday's paper. Carl Gray, president of the Union Pacific will have an article in Wednesday's pa per. Hitchcock Writes Thursday, extracts from comments by former United States Senator Gil bert M. Hitchcock and H. W. ?4f? pont, secretary-treasurer of the Standard Oil company, will be pub lished. Harry A. Koch, president of the narry A. Koch company, incorpor ated, an Omaha insurance firm, has prepared an article which will appear Friday. The serins will be brought to a close with an article in next Sunaay's issue which was written by W. B. T. Belt, president of the Northwestern Bell Telephone company, with head quarters in Omaha. In all cases the writers were asked to deal with the problem of the col lege graduate more particularly as it refers to their field, in the belief that more general information, would be secured in this way, with less danger of abstractions. ARMY OFFICERS ARRIVE MONDAY Annual Inspection of R.O.T.C. Unit Will Be Held Two .
