More difficult than any exam is the problem students will face in two weeks. Which fair shall they attend the New York world's fair or the Golden Gate international exposition. Easiest solution to the question will be to visit both. For only $70 anyone may cross the conti nent twice in comfort, riding in air cooled coaches, and visit both the New York and San Francisco fairs. Many Nebraska students intend to visit one or both fairs. Plans are made and departures will begin immediately after com mencement to last throughout the summer. Hitch hiking and old cars promise to be a popular form of transportation. Jobs attract many. Some Nebraska students have secured employment upon the fair See WORLD'S FAIRS, page 2.

Sixteen percent of the 146 in stitutions included in the survey even predicted that chances for employment of the 1939 graduates were greater than in 1929, and an additional 19 percent believed chances now were the same as in 1929. Better business conditions. Promising prospects for this year's college graduates result from improved business condi tions, greater efforts on the parts of colleges to obtain positions for graduates and the fact that lead ing employers are satisfied with employees recruited from college campuses, the survey revealed. The survey is based on data gathered since the Easter vaca tion, during which many employ ers send representatives to the colleges and universities to inter view prospective employees. Forty-three percent of the co educational and men's schools re ported that 90 percent of their 1939 male graduates would receive steady employment within three months after graduation in June. Forty percent of the co-educational and women's institutions predicted that 90 percent of their 1939 women graduates would be promptly employed upon gradua tion.

SUNDAY, MAY 21, 1939 SAM top college survey colleges covered by the survey re ported that 50 percent or more of this year's graduating collegians would have steady jobs by the end of this summer. Employment prospects for male graduates were somewhat higher than those for women graduates. Forty-nine of the 134 co-educational and men's institutions as serted that employment of male graduates would be greater than it was a year ago. Thirty-one of the 108 co-educational and wom en's colleges thought that employ ment of female members of this year's graduating classes would exceed that of June, 1938. Men's chances better than coeds'. One-fourth of the colleges hav ing men students believed that chances now of male graduates securing steady work was better than in 1937 and a slightly larger percentage of 77 institutions hav ing female graduates thought that chances of 1939 women graduates getting positions was brighter than it was two years ago. The schools reporting that em ployment prospects were as good or greater now than a year ago constituted 88 percent of the schools replying to the question naire; those reporting present chances as good as or brighter than in 1937 constituted 74 percent and those believing present chances the same as or better than in 1933 numbered 91 percent of the schools covered by the survey. The 1939 college graduating classes represent, on an average, 50.7 percent of the freshmen en rolled in such institutions four years ago. 14 pass Army air corps examination Approved men eligible to enter training bases Undergoing what is probably the most rigid and complete phys ical examination they have ever been submitted to, the following 14 men have been approved by Army Air corps examiners as physically fit to enter the Air corps training bases: Ralph Peterson, Herbert Rosen thal, William Herrmann, Orville DeFrain, La Rue Sorrell, Charles Smith, Theodore Pfleuger, Joseph Laughlin, Bert Hartzell, Robert Reichstadt.

Last Awgwan makes bow tomorrow Graduation issue tells future in employment, marriage, related stuff With four short stories, car toons, a second Jim Lipsey cam pus questionnaire, and a colorful and suggestive collection of jokes, the final edition of the Awgwan hits the stands Monday, according to Leonard Friedel, business man ager. On the timely theme "Whither now," this edition turns to the problems of graduation and the great dark road beyond. Off to a rather pessimistic start, the com mencement day laurels as depicted by the job seeker on the cover, are only the preliminaries to the problems of employment, mar riage, and self preservation which logically follow. Married nJague. The plague of married life, with revelations of the unknown but ever to be expected future of graduating Romeos is portrayed under the simple title "Women" at the pen of Marg Krause. There in Marg, no doubt educated in the peculiar but dominating charac teristics of her sex, humorously tells the story of man's wedded future. "Gentlemen I give you this day," a graduation day farewell was scribed by George Frischer, while Bob Hemphill wrote a description of "June Jitters." Frischer's story is centered around the diploma day toasts of four characteristic college men, with an original in terpretation of the significance of the graduation service. Contracting the life sketches of the Puritannical and the "free and easy" types of coed In a "Siory with a Moral," Betty Roach, as sociate editor 'of the Issue con cludes: "No matter what a girl's past her present, or her future may be, she ends up In the same place, 'married to a man.'

The Tigers, who won this year's indoor meet, slipped to a tie for fourth and fifth with Kan sas as each team got 31 points. Third place went to Kansas State with 32, as Iowa State ended in last place with 25. The Huskers won four events and tied for first in another. Bob Simmons, who took a law examination at 8 o'clock yester day morning in Ames, blazed through to the only new record as he ended his Big Six career with a 47.7 quarter mile to break Russ Dills' old 48.6 mark. Bob came into the back stretch in third place, but turned on the heat to beat Coogan of Oklahoma by five yards. Simmons also won the low hurdles, beating team mate Dawson in 24 seconds flat. Munski nears record. Ray Harris, Kansas, tied the ex isting two mile mark as he beat out Mitchell of Kansas State, the record holder, in 9:29.9. Harris might have had a new record had he not eased up at the finish. John Munski, Missouri, defend ed his mile title as he breezed through to beat Harris in 4:20.8.

May Alumnus issues annual roundup call Katharine Coffee, '19, Jennie Bruce, '99, pen stories of college days The May number of the Alum nus came out this week issuing a rally-cry to all alums to return to their alma mater for the an nual roundup, June S, 4 and 5. As features for the magazine, two members of the homecomLig hon or classes, Jennie Pentzer Bruce, '99, and Katharine Newbranch Coffee, '19, write stories about their years in school.

Mrs. Bruce's memoirs of her university years, which she en titles "We Caught the Vision," in clude the departure of Lieutenant Pershing, the arrival of Samuel Avery, the organization of a Phi Beta Kappa chapter, the con struction of the library, and the departure of classmates for par ticipation in the Spanish-American war. Katharine Newbranch Coffee writes "Years of War" as her contribution to the Alumnus. A student at the unversity at the time when 1,000 men withdrew from campus life for military, naval, or industrial service, she writes of the training school on the campus, of holding Notre Dame to a scoreless tie, of a rather grim four years in college with the shadow.i of war affect ing campus life.
