Cblragw Boston n Angeles Saa Francisco There Will Be Jobs We've been Hearing a great deal about jobs being plentiful for college graduates at the present time and we all know they are plentiful because so many men are in military service and there are so many places open in defense work. The question has arisen in many of the students' minds about where and how to get these jobs. They say, 'Sure, we hear a lot about jobs that are opening up, but where are they?" The fact is that the jobs are there for those who know about them. That is why so many articles re being written about jobs. From the Associated Collegiate Press comes an article entitled: "The Scene Changes: Jobs Go Begging." The articles quote E. E. Crabb, president of Investors Syndicate as saying, "Although American institutions of high er learning are meeting two-thirds of the demands n them for trained workers, they are not satisfying requests from some industries, and in some regions, by any such proportions." "Defense and allied industries are making the greatest increase in number of demands, according to the company's annual national survey of college graduates' job prospects," states the article. From the survey comes the information that engineering, chemistry, teaching, aeronautics, secretarial, and a combination of mathematics and science, in order named, most frequently are mentioned in increased demands for graduates. Ranking next are commerce and home economics, tenth; and accounting and sales, which are eleventh place, "Many of our men graduates from the liberal arts college," said W. G. Leutner, president of Western Reserve university, "seek employment in industrial centers where they go to work in a pro duction department and take their chances on work ing their way up to a worthwhile administrative position, contradictory to the popular idea that col lege men are afraid to get their hands dirty." Possibly there are some who will say: "Oh, yes, they're taking those jobs to avoid the draft." This might be true in some cases, but the fact re mains that trained men are needed in the produc tion end of defense as well as in the military end. Often ignored by college graduates is the possi bility of civil service. In the new magazine, Thresh bold, Morton Yarmond writes an article entitled Uncle Sam Courts the Colleges" in which he re ports that there are government jobs galore open through the Junior Professional Assistant examina tions for civil service. He pays that each winter for the past three years, "Uncle Sam, in the guise of the United States Civil Service Commission, has made the rounds of the nation's colleges and uni versities with a huge Help Wanted sign pinned to his star-spangled back." y "The JPA examinations," he writes, "open to both young men and women, call for no experience or training beyond mere formal educational re quirements. The candidate must either hold a degree with undergraduate or graduate study as prescribed in an appropriate subject or be leasonably certain of receiving his degree in June. Graduates are elig ible up to the age of 35." Mr. Yarmond ends with this appeal: "Just as government is no better than those who administer it, so is a personnel system no better than those from whom it can select its employees. Public serv ice should be looked upon by the college student not merely as a career, but as a career important to the successful functioning of democracy." There will be jobs for the college graduate if he or she look in the right places. Behind the News By David Thompson What Of The Future? Nebraska receives another defense industry to supplement the bomber plant already under con struction at Omaha. The newest one as you prob ably already know is to be a bomb loading plant which is to be located between Wahoo and Mead. It will be a tremendous affair rumoured to cover many square miles. On the surface that sounds just marvelous, doesn't it? A boom for this whole sec tion of Nebraska. In the Ehoit run I suppose that is true, but what of the future? The operation of the new plant will necessitate the migration of around 3,000 workers and their families to the Wahoo area. The number of work ers alone is greater than the combined populations r Wahoo and Mead. For the duration of the emer gency it will be an important factor in the prosper ity of the Lincoln aroa, but what will happen when the need for a bomb loading plant disappears? Ob viously the whole bubble of prosperity will be de flated and the county and the state will be saddled with an unemployment problem it has never faced before. Nebraska is not primarily an industrial state. It has few if any of the raw materials necessary to the supporting of an industry. All of it will have to be transported to the factories. Only the pressure of defense needs makes such a stunt even plausible. Then when the defense need disappears all that will remain of the great defense plant will be 500 odd empty buildings and the necessity of supporting a great many families that cannot be assimilated by ordinary peace time industry elsewhere, Nebraska will no longer be the "White Spot" of the nation. Perhaps it is Nebraska's duty to take on its share of the defense work, but when we do so it is imperative that we think of the responsibilities for the future that come with it. A keen realization of the problems our state will have in years to come as a result of it is necessary If we are to meet those problems in a competent manner when they pre sent themselves. It is well then to keep this in mind when others, less concerned with the future than with the present, rave of the great thing the defense projects are. Remember, those of you who are primarily res idents of Nebraska, that when the defense boom is no longer with us, you and I will still be here and faced with the tedious pioblem of readjustment t a normal situation. You cannot transform an agri cultural community into an industrial area for a short time without incurring the problems and diffi culties of an industrial area along with the effects its end will entail. "All is not gold that glitters." i Oiv OUwl fiampuiMA By Marjorie May I New Classification Possible As . . Army Announces New Rules For Conscientious Objectors Conscientious objectors, as signed to work projects under civilian direction because of their opposition to military training, may apply for entry into the arm ed forces upon reconsideration, ac cording to a recent announcement by Brigadier General Guy N. Hen ninger, state director of selective service. The General explained this new policy by saying that he has been advised by National Headquarters that many men now classified as conscientious objectors are ex pressing willingness to enter the armed forces. Those men desiring to enter the military establishment should ap ply, through the director of the work camp to which he has been . . . Tired of Objecting assigned, for a change in his se lective service local board classifi cation so that he may be desig nated as available for the armed forces. General Ilenninger asserted that the time that the conscientious ob jector has spent in the work camp will not reduce his period of mili tary training, if he is inducted into the military establishment. He added that conscientious ob jectors who complete their service in a work camp will be placed in reserve status upon completion of their period of work, and will be subject to recall for additional par ticipation in work of national im portance just as selectees for mili tary training are subject to addi tional duty as reservists after their training period.

And Kansas U. students begin wondering too, but not about a queen; their worry is about who! will be the next KU Pep King. j The Jay Janes, Kansas university coed pep group, annually sponsor the election ef a Pep King! to be presented at the Reverse Dance where the women foot the bill, play escoit, and do the cut ting in. Each coed purchasing a ticket receives a ballot on which to cast her vote the night of the dance for one of the e'ght candidates. Proceeds from this dance go to the Jay Jane Scholarship fund. Ohio State's Student Council is offering two awards for the best national defense float idea in their gigantic defense parade to be held in Kent next Sunday, the lead story in The Kent Stater an nounced recently. This parade is in line with the university's three day deftnse cele bration. To more than 20 Chinese students on the Pur due campus, October 10 means as much as July 4 means to all Americans, and in commemoration of this, the 30th anniversary of the birth of the Re public of China, those stuoents presented a program in the Purdue Student Union. Quoting from a column entitled "Paragraph" in The Daily Texan, we find: 'The Nazis have their own version of John Steinback'a 'Grape of Wrath." They call it 'Grapes of RAF.' "Physicists say that all the time people keep their mouths shut they are resisting gravity. It would appar that too many people are taking the course of least resistance.
