Thompson, De:in of Student Affairs, as ex ecutive secretary, 1he committee iri i in Room 104 Adminis tration hall. The committee works this way: F;uh year many companies desire to interview students and write the University asking to make the necessary arrangements. The committee has a private interview room where the conference be tween the company's reprcscnta- , tive and the students are held. To make sure that all interested 1 sturlents are contacted, the com- j rruttce contacts the university in- sirudional departnerits involved.; Bv acting as a go-between, all students get a chance to apply for ' ;ohs and the companies have the oppottunity to interview all elig ible students. Departmental Interview. When only one department is involved, the committee arranges tor the intetview to be held in the department. There is one exception to the committee's work. If the student is in the Teachers college, the De partment of Educational Services, located on third floor of Teach ers college will interview them. Successful Flacement. The system has worked well, Dr. Thompson said, and in the past few years the University's record of placing its graduates with reputable firms has been high. "Economic conditions are slow ing down somewhat," Dr. Thomp son said, "which means that the 19.10 graduates may find it tough er to get the line of employment he wants. If the students will let us know what type of work they want it will go a long way toward making our program more effective."

The iirst issue con tainc nrfifloc onrif prninP interna tional affairs and other features and will be distributed Ire. solution to the problem of the atomic bomb can come by at tacking it as a moral problem, a problem of international mor ality. "The UN is our only hope. It has kept a fire that could be come a great .conflagration at a smoldering stage," the Chancellor declared. "Tragedy." The tragedy' of the problem, Gustavson said, is that the na tions are not getting together. They are not talking of the peacetime uses of atomic energy. We talk of producing more atomic bombs and Russia talks of producing more bombs. "Amis have never brought peace," Gustavson stated. "We don't trust Russia, and Russia doesn't trust us," was the reason the Chancellor gave for the failure of these two countries to co-operate in the UN on atomic control. The US has a military point of view in wanting international control of atomic energy, while the Russian plan is from the standpoint of peace time uses, Gustavson declared. The reason the Chancellor gave for our objections to the Rus sian plan was that a peacetime power plant is a potential atomic bomb plant. "If you are ready to have one, you are equipped to do the other," -he said. "No Atomic Secrets" "Talking of secrets in connec tion with the atomic bomb doesn't make sense, despite the talk in Congress," the Chancellor satted. Speaking of Joliot, a French com munist who made some of the ini tial discoveries in the field of nu clear physics, he said, "It's just too bad communists have the same brains as anybody else." "If conservatives ask a question of nature in the right way, he gets the same answer as anyone else," the Chancellor said of Fermi, an Italian Conservative who also made basic discoveries in this field. "Nature doesn't ask what party a scientist belongs to, she just gives the answer to the Question." "No Protection" 'The onlv protection from the atomic bomb is not to be there when it goes off, Gustavson stated As to whether we could keep the bomb-carrying planes away, Gustavson askea, uia Germany or England keep the bombers away? War is the kil inc business, and when you're in the killing busi ness it is better to play it to the maximum and kill efficiently. the Chancellor said in reply to the question of whether the United States would use the atomic bomb in a war. liis solution was to find another way to settle world problems. Gustavson believes that it is necessary to educate the people on the basic facts on the atomic bomb, especially people who are in the position to have something to say about atomic energy. He cited the example of the Con gressman who asked. "Do you think the Russians will get the atom?" 11 At Grid Festival Rival coaches this week end, Bill Glasslord of Nebraska and Bud Wilkinson of Oklahoma, will be commissioned "admirals in Nebraska's navy, Friday night at the third annual Fall Football Festival.
