The Immediate outlook for a voung man upon graauaung iroui ihe College of Engineering always means taking a minor position with tome engineering organisation here there Is 'an opportuuliy for w or Wlm up in the itaff. according is Dean Ferguson. Demand la Heavy .We find that there it a very tin J demand al present for men ot can advance In a large nr. rinitatlon to a position of tech nical and administrative responsi bility. A freal many organisations which hire new graduates have derlnlis training courses for a year or two. Tbey look upon newcom er as their future leaders. "Most of the engineering organl tioni hare more high class posi tions than they have candidatea 10 fill them. These organisations are iery definitely on Ihe outlook for men whom they can train to those positions. They build upon the col Inge education which a graduate lias." Situations arising from Impati ence and a lack of personality are the most difficult In the life of a recent graduate of the College of engineering, according to ihe dean. It Is his opinion that the recent naduate fails to appreciate the lue of a good personality, think ing instead that technical knowl edge is. ail lhal necessary.

After loosening a large blotter, he pulled to the floor everything except a lamp from the desk of R. fiorothy Swartx. Being especially adept with hla hands and teeth, he de stroyed all nut cups and decora tions remaining from the Phi Sigma initiation banquet. He left over-friendly girls with bleeding fingers and torn hose. He gave up trying to smoke a lighted cigarettte he had stolen and ate the tobacco. Since he did not trust those who lead him about, he carefully held the chain with one hand to prevent It from chok ing him Monk Taken Away Finally It waa considered best to remove him to a cage in the base ment. There he sits, crying and waiting for food. He Is especially fond of salted nuts and apples. To risk no chance of losing any food he hastily crams It into his mou'h and stores it in a pouch for later consumption. What is to be hla fate is not cer tain. The New York importer waa to have aent him to Chicago to be embalmed in order that John Bau man, graduate student, could use the specimen In the study of muscle strength In apes. Now that he haa come here alive, the department of zoology dislikes to part with him. The glider la made principally spruce with aome bard wood.
