Swayzee's statistics survey
gives figures on job odds
Exam of unemployment covering 10 years shows
graduates have little edge on 1 to 3 year men
By Paul Svoboda.
.. ., . . .
College graduates or those who
have attended higher educational
institutions for one to three years
fare better in employment than
those who have had only a high
school education. This striking
fact was brought out in a recent
survey of unemployment condi
tions in the city of Lincoln cover
ing a period of ten years from
1929-1939. j
The survey is being conducted
by Dr. C. O Swayzee and assisted
by Beverly Finkle, Dick White
and 60 students from Dr. Sway
zee's classes in current labor
problems and government in rela
tion to labor. This, the fourth of a
series of studies by the associate
professor of personnel and labor
relations, emphasizes quality rath
er than quantity of unemployment.
Conclusions on causes of unem
ployment are being made as the
result of these surveys.
Studied in relation to each other
and particularly to unemployment
were the unemployment status at
present; duration of unemploy
ment; causes of unemployment;
education; number of dependents;
areas; industry groups; unemploy
ment since 1929; government relief
work; and industrial shift.

ing one to three years of college

"We French fully approve the
attitude of the United States of
America and also of your dear
President Franklin Roosevelt, who
has done all that was in his power
to avert the war. Last year the
shock did not take place and his
addresses were approved by all
the French. We consider him as
the man able to avert the mas
sacre, and we believe always that
one day his Ideas will be respecteJ

Phantom cokes
disturb guzzling
yearbook staff
Eight cokes were lost somewhere
between the Corncrib and the
Cornhusker office the other day.
The Cornhusker ordered them.
The Corncrib delivered them, but
the Cornhusker staff never re
ceived them.
The inside story:
The yearbookies, who have the
time to guzzle cokes, ordered the
eight missing drinks. The staff
member who ordered them told
the attendant to deliver them to
the DAILY office. When the cokes
did not appear the Cornhusker
man went to the Corncrib to in
quire. After explaining that the
cokes were supposed to have been
delivered to the yearbood office,
he was given tight more.
Members of the DAILY staff
have denied any knowledge of the
affair. Members of the DAILY
staff who usually coke each clay
did not appear in the Corncrib
the day the drinks were fplrtted
away.
