O. Broady, director. ' The division plana also to help provide training for citizens needed to replace those entering direct war-time service. This would in clude replacement of teachers, nurses, industrial workers, and others. A third policy outlined by Dr. Broady would make university resources available for maintain ing the morale of Nebraska citi zens. The extension division's organi zation is very adaptable to chang ing needs, said Dr. Broady, and can be fitted to almost any i mer gency. The National University Extension association already is assisting with new projects sug gested by the war. New activities will supplement rather than re place regular ones, and materials already available may be adapted for use in them, he said.

National Survey Shows Scholarship and character are the qualities most sought in col lege graduates by American em ployers. Investors Syndicate of Minneapolis reports after a na tional survey of graduates' job prospects. What do you know? What are you? Whom do you know? Em ployers are querying job applicants in about that order. Schools list qualities sought as follows in order named: scholarship, charac ter, adaptability, campus popular ity, personality, athletic prowess, ability, alertness, extra-curriculai activities and dependability. Industrialists faced with large orders that must be delivered on time, the survey report observes, are stressing production rather than distribution. They are more interested in what a job applicant knows than whom he knows. Scholarship emphasis proves this point. Scholarship, mentioned 375 times, or 23.3 per cent of an ag gregate of 1,610 mentions, is listed three times as often as either personality of campus popularity, Official Newspaper Of More Than 7,000 Students Lincoln, Nebraska 1 I 'J J Dr. K. 0.
