Library Uses
Book Charging
Machines Now
Accuracy and speed will be the
keynote in Love library during
the summer session. Books will be
charged at the loan desk and re
serve desk in a split second by
ingenious electric-automatic book
charging machines.
Each student and faculty mem
ber will be issued a small borrow
er's card. Attached to this card is
a metal tab that carries an em
bossed number. This number be
comes the student's library serial
number for the entire period that
he attends the university.
To charge a book, the librarian
inserts this card into an open
chute on top of the machine. The
book card is inserted in another
chute and automatically the date
due and the student's number is
printed on the book card.
The machines are so fool proof
and easy to operate that hundreds

of libraries throughout the coun
try are using them. The time con
suming task of signing names and
addresses on call slips is com
pletely eliminated. The Library
also hopes to eliminate some of
the unpleasant arguments at the
loan desk with this installation,
according to Richard A. Farley,
assistant librarian. A book may
be charged to a borrower only
when his card is used in the machine.

RETURNS TO SCREEN
Ilka Chase's screen appearance
in paramount g commedy, "me
Tatlock Millions," marks the first
picture in five years for the noted
actress-author, who recently com
pleted her third book, "Free Admissions."
Uncle Samuel the same is
still a main figure in the plans
of many 1948 University of Ne
braska graduates.
A few years ago he took them
out of school. Then, he put them
back. Now, it seems, he's work
ing both ways.
First, his GI education pro
cram is encouraging scores of
graduating seniors from several
colleges to stay on for advanced
work.
Second, his civil service jobs
are attracting their full share of
new sheep skin winners.
Time for Caution.
And, back of the whole scene,
there is evidence that a good por
tion of the 1948 class feels this is
a boom year and a time for cau
tion. For example, at the College of
Agriculture a commercial fertil
izer selling job, paying from $275
to $300 a month plus commission,
has gone begging. Yet, about 40
percent of the 54 graduates have
taken jobs at much less money
with the Soil Conservation Serv
ice, the Smith-Hughes vocational
agriculture program, the U.S.
Reclamation Service. Why?
Carroll Garey, secretary of the
college placement committee, says:
first, that many agriculture grad
uates are not interested in sell
ing and some expressed the
thought that in a year or two
the "big money" in farm selling
jobs may vanish.
Second, many of the graduates
are veterans who are fed up with
travel and the selling job would
mean travel.
To Remain.
Garey said about a foulth of the
class plans to remain in college
for advanced work. Obviously, the
financial help of the GI Bill has
influenced such decisions. Besides,
civil service gives financial credit
for advanced college work. This,
those who stay in school and then
decide to enter federal service
later have nothing to lose.
Only about 20 percent of the
agriculture college graduates are
planning to farm, and at least
two of these indicated they may
turn to federal work if an un
favorable farm market develops.
Biz Ad Starters.
The story is a little different in
the College of Business Admin
istration. There, accounting and
selling jobs with $250 starting
salaries are common. Generally
speaking the pay offered for
male employees is higher than
that offered the women. The
June class includes 207 graduates,
25 of whom are women.
Prof. T. .T Bullock of the col
lege placement agency has noted
strong differences of opinion
among 1948 class members about
staying in Nebraska. At least
three-fourth of the graduates are
determined to stay in the state,
but the others are dead set on
getting out. The feeling seems
stronger than in other years.
Salaries offered to the 140 en
gineering graduates run from
$235 to $325 per month, but $250
is about the average, according to
Dean Roy M. Green.
Engineers to Stay.
Of 93 engineering students who
have decided what they will do,
13 percent will remain in school
for advanced work. The others
are going into a wide variety of
activities from the customary
engineering jobs with utilities and
oil concerns to automobile and
furniture selling. Several have
signed up with the U.S. Reclama
tion Service.
Among 241 who received teach
ers certificates, those who ma
iored in home economics, coach
ing, music and vocational agricul
ture have the best financial offers
to choose from. Common for them
were $3,000 salaries, about $400
more than the average high school
teachers. Grade schools, mean
while, were bidding between $2,
300 and $2,500.
As in other recent years, the
western schools California, Ore
gon, and Mew Mexico arainea
off a good 10 percent of the class.
About 25 percent of those who re
ceived certificates are staying in
school. Again the GI Bill is a
factor, according to R. D. Moritz,
director of the colleges depart
ment of educational service.
Business Decline
Seen in Nebraska
Cities in April
All of Nebraska's principal
cities except McCook, North
Platte and Nebraska City, showed
business declines in April, the
University of Nebraska Business
Research department reported
Tuesday.
The three cities showed in
creases of between five and nine
per cent in general business ac
tivities. All the rest showed de
clines averaging four per cent.
While other forms of business
showed declines, retail sales in
all cities except Omaha showed
increases in April. Grand Island
retail sales were up about eight
per cent over the previous month,
which topped the state.
Food store sales were up eight
per cent, and furniture store sales
seven per cent to lead the retail
division. Department and cloth
ing stores, however, showed an
average four per cent drop.
