President of Bell Telephone
Discusses Problems of
Modern Business
INDUSTRY SEEKS MEN
FITTED FOR LEADERS
Editor'! Notet Thia is the fifth and
concluding article in the series The
Daily Nebraska hat been publishing
in which the problems of the college
graduate in the business world have
been discussed by business execu
tives. Today' article on "The First
Years in Business" was written for
The Nebraskan by W. B. T. Belt,
president of the Northwestern Bell
Telephone company.
Within a few months, thousands of
college trained men and women will
join the forty millions of gainfully
occupied people of our great nation,
each seeking individual opportunity
in the form of interesting work, per
sonal recognition and a satisfactory
livelihood. To each the choice of oc.
cupation is somewhat of a puzzle.
AH the information obtainable, the
advice of friends, faculty, and indus
trial representatives will help, but
in the final analysis the decision or
solution must be that of the individ
ual. The Employment Problem
Industrial executives appreciate
the students' problem and are glad
to contribute information that will
help the adjustment of graduates to
their life work. It is to be expected
that the viewpoint of industry tow
ard the employment problem will be
different from that ol the maiviauai.
In the manufacturing plants, foun
dries, fabricating plants, public util
ities, or all industrial enterprises ex
nirriculture. there are some
twenty million employees engaged in
a variety of trades and occupations.
Tho omnlnver is looking for people
who are fitted to do the tasks f unda-
mcntnllv essential to the success of
his particular business. A large
part of this work involves the em
' ployment of people to do both ment
al and physical tasks termed by many
"routine work", but no small part of
it has to do with the development of
creative leadership within the maus
try. It is fundamental that the leaders
of industry should come from the in
dustry itself. Thousands of positions

Friday, the summer-like weather of
