Crazy Success
Early In the fall semester of 1950 when Kos
met Klub started the nucleus of the musical, "Good
News," there was more than a little apprehen

of months of hard work, rehearsals, detailed plan-

concerning senior class officers,
candidates for junior class officers, are also sched
uled to take part In the forum. Forty-one fresh
men and sophomores, vying for Council posi
tions from various colleges, and according to the
constitution, will be present.
A total of 62 students will presumably be
under fire from a student audienoe Thursday
night Questions will undoubtedly range from
various platforms to plans for University im
provements while in office.
A multitude of things could happen Thursday
night. With 62 persons on the program, the mod
erator will have to be on his toes to. keep the dis
cussion under control and moving right along.
And, on the other hand, the Union ballroom might
be without an audience. Most students might feel
That next production is finished now. From

Klub's project pulled through with the outside

instilled some doubts about its success, but by
the second and final performance the show

There is a great deal to be said' about this
kind of production on college campuses. Al
though hours of practice and seemingly endless
planning (taking time away from other activity)
is behind the production, and although much can
be improved, this show is the only one of its
kind at the University. It is one innovation that
should be continued, and one that should take its

For countless centuries parents the trades
men of the world have reminded their children
of this. And the children, when grown, have re

next generation.
T.Amltacfltlflr - ill? Villi! AAt9V CtMo mmrmm a
noted Lincoln minister. Confiding in his con
gregation "in the privacy of our sanctuary"
he stated, "The hope of the world is not with
the rising generation; it Is with the waning gen
eration." He cited the ; example of teachers, school and
Sunday school, who spend six months teaching a
child a fundamental principle--only to have a
parent undermine the entire lesson in five min
utes,
have
the thrashings of their lives."
In other words, the minister believes that it is
fine to hope that the new, generation will im

educated in what he calls the absolute rules of
good and evil. '
His subject was Christian education, and he
threw the responsibility for its success into the
laps of the adults.
The thought, however, should not lull college
students into complacency and allow them to
blame their parents for their shortcomings. The
message for students implies that they will soon
be the parents of a rising generation molders
of tomorrow's world. .

that Sally has captured the Idea

Director, Junio r Division and Counseling Service
This is neither a commencement address nor a
prediction on employment prospects for all the
years of your working life. It is rather an hon
est appraisal of some of the more significant ele
ments in the foreseeable future for college grad
uates of 1952.

E-Week Slumps?
Along with everyone .else, I
would like to say "Hats off and
thanks" to Dean T. J. Thomp
son who is retiring; at the end
of this year. He has done a fine
job under circumstances which
have been difficult, for several
reasons, and at times impossible.
This dinner in his honor
Wednesday seems like a real
great thing.
There has been more interest
evidenced in the forthcoming
campus election than in any since
I have been at school, at least. It
will be interesting to see just
how heavy the turnout will be
what with the poll tax, the read
ing and writing test, the voting
aptitude tests, the candidate in
terest test and the affidavit signed
by both your maternal and pater
nal grandparents to the effect that
your grade-point Is correct within
a point or two.
This might be the basis for a
new party (political, that is) on
campus. They might call it The
Abolition of Slavery and Poll
Tax party... or The Party For
the Preservation and Mainten
ance of Grass Between the Stu
dent Union and Administration
Hall Through the Abolition of
the Use of Grade (Pink, Blue,
Orange, Chartreuse or other
wise) Slips in Voting. It could
be a sort of leftist party... a
little bit left of the Crib.
n nther matter about that first Job. If you
do not know what career you really want to
follow, you are likely to shift from occupation
to occupation. If you know what you want to
do but are not satisfied with your first position,
you are likely to shift to another employer. This
is not detrimental; in fact, it is frequently ad
vantageous. However, if your first position dots
not represent the kind of work you want for
your career, you had better find out more about
your career. People who shift from one occupa
tion to another are likely to b. shifters most of
their lives.
Where Will You Work?
According to current expectations, here is the
way the job distribution will shape up:

: College Days.
Last fall the engineers pleaded with the Stu

Last week Engineers Week took its "exclu

by any "carnival" spirited College Days.
No, College Days did not interfere with E
week. However, also presented last week were
the Kosmet Klub, "Girl Crazy," spring revue,

except the latter were features of last year's

E-week and its goal of educating visitors to the
University. They objected to the "carnival" at

"E" ribbon sales were "flown from nearly $700
to about $450. .
Leading engineers complained that displays
this year were not as good as previous dis
plays. Here is the picture as we see it.
Almost every element of last year's College
Days was present on campus this year during
the Engineer's Week except displays by- other
colleges. Judging by comparative newspaper
coverage, ribbon sales and Intangible public sen
timent the College Days "competition" of last
year proved to be one of the best proponents of
E-week and the college's attempt to educate the
public, high school students in particular.'

to maintain, particularly in a time when the total
number of young men is low. Military service,
of course, tends to open more opportunities in
civilian jobs.
3. The Female: Women are becoming an ever-
increasing proportion of the labor force. They
are needed to fill the employment needs of the
nation. They are needed, also, to supplement
family incomes. In increasing numbers women
are working to help the family economy. Grad
uates in 1952 will find that in addition to the
civilian job market, the Armed Forces will seek
women in their ranks. Many of the graduating
coeds will work for a time before raising fami
lies and will return to the job market in later
years after raising their families.
TiHe New Position
That new position of yours is going to be bet
ter in the long run, even than it appears today.
Your parents, or older friends, who graduated
during the depression years found not only
that jobs were more difficult to obtain but also
they discovered that, having started more slowly,
they advanced more slowly during the years.
Although not true in individual situations, nev
ertheless, it is true generally that those who
start out most successfully, advance most suc
cessfully during the years. You, in 1952, are
starting in a job market that ls generally highly
favorable to you.
If you have not happened upon the fact al
ready, you will see, at some time after you start
For college graduates, the great opportunities
are in those three groups, and that is where you
will find the 1952 Nebraska graduate, except
for those in the Armed Services, and those in
two other groups: the married coed raising a
family, and the graduate student Look briefly
at this last.
The Graduate Student
As professions have grown they have increased
their demands for further education. They are
maintaining that demand even in the face of dim
inished job applicants. This is a good year to
start graduate work because graduate school en
rollments, the nation over, are lower. If your
profession requires additional graduate study, do
not put it off.
Conclusion
This year's college graduate is truly select
College graduates have a great advantage over
non-college graduates. In income through the
years, in positions of community responsibility,
in successful family life, the college graduate
surpasses non-college graduates. In this year of
particularly fine opportunity for college grad
uates, the responsibility for wearing that advan
tage with dignity is very great
