In addition to his diploma, each member of the graduating class desires foremost a job. Only this morning-, we overheard one senior woman remark, "I certainly wish someone would give me some pointers about finding a job." Consequently, we concluded that others might have the same opinion and proceeded to do something about it. Not be ing an authority on giving some pointers ourselves, we could hardly dare to offer our own opinions, but we can point out some ideas which iminent authorities are public izing today. The National Youth Administration dis credits schools with not fully equipping their graduates by placing an over-emphasis on too many of the "white-collar" pursuits, resulting in an excess of "elientless insurance salesmen and school-less school teachers." They place the key to future jobs in the. aoquistion ot multiple skills. Academic, training, they be lieve, should be supplemented by practical skills, which would add a market value to hands and brains. 0. Herbert Smith, dean of freshmen at DePaw university insists that the day is not far off when college diploma bearers will occupy the unskilled fields as well as the skilled. He says, "Colleges and universities have placed too much emphasis on the value of higher education in helping the graduate to get a high position in the business world." Fordham university, believing that no corporation puts an expensive produtA on the market, without being sure that it will serve its buyers as well, has decided to do the same thing with its graduates. Provided they go out on a job and do not succeed, Fordham pro poses to take them back again and revise them so that they will be successful in their line of work. After a year's survey among the leading employers and interviews with 92,00 stu dents, the university is opening a placement bureau which guarantees its graduates on a replacement basis. They will start to train boys in their sophomore years for jobs await ing them two years hence. The estimated cost of educating a student is from $4,000 to $7,000, hence a good product should be made of them. At. Ohio State universily, a new depart ment has been added to the school. Keeogniz inff the difficulties confronting the men looking for jobs, a "job-hunting school" has been or ganized for the purpose of leaching seniors how to write letters of application nnd face in terviews. Personnel managers of local firms have been obtained to aid with the instruc tion. As a final suggestion, job-hunting stu dents must be reminded that employers hire ideas. Proof that Americans are suckers for oddities came recently when a young man played havoc with conventions and inserted the following in the classified section of a Cleveland, Ohio, newspaper: "Man, young, unreliable, dishonest, lazy, doesn't want position but needs one; asst. mgr., personal consultant, etc.; short hours, big pay." Within a few days he received 76 job offers. Moral of the incident is that business men today want men with ideas men who are dif ferent from the ordinary run. The "dishonest and unreliable" gentleman from Ohio adopted an unusual manner of displaying ideas but no one can deny results. Seniors due to graduate, and even most of the undergraduates who amaze themselves with their own conceded knowledge of the ways of the world and jobs, are quite gener-. ally convinced that success will depend on "who you know rather than what you know.'' While this may be true in a great many instances it is also obvious that the dollar minded employer is interested more in what the Syracuse man can do than he is in the fact that he may be the son of a fratern ity brother. There is slill room for ihe man -who can pioduce ideas whether he be from Princeton or Podunk and whether Oosvenors or the Jukes. he dines with the QUARTET OF DEBATERS LEAVEFOR ROAD TRIP Woerner, Shoemaker, Turkel, Harlan Travel During Spring Recess. Four varsity debaters. Otto Woerner, Merle Shoemaker, Leo Turkel. and William Harlan will leave on a trip thru Kansas and Arkansas tomorrow. The trip will continue thru April 4. The four men will uphold both Bides of the resolution, concerning other stales compulsory arbitration of labor disputes, with Turkel and Harlan upholding the affirmative and Shoemaker and Woerner arguing the negative version. This is the first time a debate trip has been scheduled during spring vacation, and the quartet will niixs only one day of regular class work.

It won't be long until you, you, and you journey back home for that much needed, much cherished vacation. It won't be long until the boys that loiter in front of the beer parlors, until the boys in the old barber shop, and the town or city newspaper reporter will be talk ing about you. You know, there's something to what the boys back home will say about you. Tilings back home won't be running quite as fast as this institution for higher learn ing runs, and in nine chances out of ten you're going to be as con spicuous as the New York slicker when you get back home. Some times that is the advantage of coming from a larger city where everyone doesn't know you. But ten out of eleven students don't come from large cities. BACK HOME PHILOSOPHY. We've been thinking seriously of the back home philosophy which Dr. Rufus Lyman puts across. If Dr. Lyman will par don our comparison of him to that well-known radio and screen philosopher, Bob Burns, we think he does more to pre sent the common point of view than most any professor on this campus. As a man of expe rience, Dr. Lyman has con cluded, evidently, that college runs pretty fast at least a lot faster than the folks down In Pawnee county can perceive. But when Dr. Lyman begins to tell some incident of 'back home" we like to listen and try to real- j ize that the folks back home are i just like that. Some of the old j timers who never went thru the j sixth grade in school the same I old timers that the government has given permission to sit around and talk and think have some odd and queer ideas about colleges and uni versities TALK TO THEM ALL. And so, when you go home, conduct yourselves accordingly. If you have the feeling that you're lowering yourselves to talk to Jake, the town's retired drunkard, or Hank, the one-chair barber, you had better stay in Lincoln. The "I'm just home from college" attitude will do more to put the home folks down on you than a date with the town's most disrepute. If there is something cultural to he gained from one or two yearn in college, it's the talking to these people that will show you what it is. Let us suggest that you look up one of your best high school friends that has not had the opportunity, or subjugation, of higher education. Talk to that person for five minutes and you'll begin to see the difference that college has made in you. To you. no doubt, the conversation will be boring, forced, and seemingly an--int. FORGET CLASSROOMS. You won't talk about Spinoza or Plato, you won't discuss Gresham'i law of economics, or the history of Rome, or Mendjl's 3 to 1 ratio. In fact, you r'.ight as well forget that you ever sat in classroom when you talk to the folks back home. The fact that you sit in the football sta dium when Nebraska defeated Minnesota, or on the coliseum boards when the Huskers met I Kansas will, no doubt, have I some significance. But the mo- j ment you get high-brow and ! classical on the boys back home, look out! Nut even your best ' friends will tell you. ' i ne aciion 01 any man is a re-i0 liectmn on his institution. Maybe tliHt is the reason why they say you can look at a mnn and t-il whether he is from Yale, Harvard, or Amherst. But at any rate, it Is An Accessory Before the Fact- Most freshmen, the Lord pity them, come to college with the be lief that they are entering an in stitution wherein they will be af forded an opportunity to acquire knowledge, if not wisdom. Ignorance is of itself not a dan ger. So long is a man in the bliss of his own ignorance has no illu sion in regard to the value of his opinions, he is harmless. It is only when he begins to fancy in him self the presence of ability, learn ing and wisdom that he becomes a danger to the community. Many college students are under the impression that they have reached the philosophers' goal of wisdom and understanding, loo easily are they persuaded to the belief that they are able to read, to analyze, to judge consistently and to Infer validly. No castiga tion of these unfortunates is in tended. It is no fault of theirs; however, they still remain a menace. Even the half educated under graduate, buoyed up by his own Inflated ego, Is scarcely to be looked upon as a serious menace; but turn this same person loose upon an unsuspecting world, with the caste mark of excellence on his forehead and the patents and prescriptions of wisdom in his pocket, and he becomes a force to be feared. The university which confers upon him a degree, has conferred a responsibility far be yond deserving. He will be looked upon by "lesser breeds" as a man of wisdom, for innocence having no fault itself looks for none in others. To his crowns and badges will be added all manner of emolu ments, "scarfs, garters, gold," which should accrue to the scien tist and philsopher. It is unfortunate that such a condition exsits and yet it does. Here is a problem that goes be yond the educator, beyond the ed ucational system. It is a matter of intellectual evolution, The prob lem has passed beyond education, beyond social instruments, and is left a private concern of each in dividual. The remedy lies in you and you.

"Out of what was left we could have set aside a sum at 5 percent that would provide a $1,000 salary yearly for 123,000 nurses and an other army of 125,000 teachers." However, there seems to be a touch of impractical economics in such a plan in the eyes of the world. Can you imagine the na tions of ihe world doing that much for their people? They cannot af ford it? They cannot afford to provide for health, for higher edu cation upon such extensive lines. They cannot afford to eradicate the miseries of unemployment of slums of all the social rotten ness that corrupts tne world. But they can afford to spend 400 billion dollars and millions of lives of their youth to vindicate "na tional honor." University Daily Kansan.

In the interests of nationalism, Hitler found it necessary to focus the minds of his people in a unity in common loves and common hates-in which there is no logic beyond the catching and holding .

A famous anthropologist, Alex ander Golden weiser, has written: "That the idea of racial purity continues to persist in the minds of men, is a fact that noth ing can explain except the blind stuhl)orness of dogma backed by prejudice. Pure race was once a fact, this was long, long ago. Then it became a myth. Of late the myth has been turnlnc into ; a nightmare, and the time is more ; than ripe for man to wake up and I realize where he stands or who he is.
