ment service will have a chance
to hear details on the service at
one of three meetings to be held
Oct. 24, 25 and 27.

sity's Committee on Occupational
phuement. Meetings are sched
uled for 5 pm. Monday, Oct. 24
and 7 p. m., Tuesday, Oct. 25 in
Social Sciences auditorium: and
Oct. 27 at 7 p. m. in Room 301
r:.iry Industry hall, on Ag cam
pus. Executive Secretary.
Headed bv Dr. T. J. 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."

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?"
