Hobson Stales Need For
The University's new dean of
the College of Engineering feels
that present demand for engineers
"will not be met in the forseeable
future."
Dr. Mark Hobson, one of the
youngest deans in the history of
the University, stated Tuesday be
cause of the increasing importance
of technology in industry today the
engineer's role will be in continued
demand. I
In an interview with the Daily
Nebraskan, Dr. Hobson stated that
industry last year could have ' ab
sorbed approximately 40,000 col
lege engineering graduates, "while
only 23,000 were available.
Nearly 400 industrial representa
tives visited the campus last year
to interview prospective engineers
and the University graduated 183,
Dr. Hobsan added.
Dr. Hobson cited the current rise
of national defense and with- it

atomic energy as one of the big
reasons industry desires more en
gineers. Dr. Hobson believes that there
might be a slight decrease in the
number of available jobs for en-
gineers should the economy shift
entirely from defense to domestic
production. "The current graduates
would be taken care of, however,"
he added,
In regard to the ever-increasing1
enrollment in the College of En-
gineenng, Dr. Hobson reported
that last year's freshman class was
abnormally high and that the 1957
class was 100 or so less than an
ticipated. "We can accommodate
everyone who wants an engineering
education," Dr. Hobson stated.
' The new dean feels that "Uni

wards." ','It enables you to direct
your work toward your own line

Engineers
"There is more professional
freedom in universities than in
industry," Dr. Hobson commented.
Many companies, however, have
gone along way in promoting basic
researcn ior weir engineers, m ui.
I Hobson's opinion
Dr. Hobson was an instructor in
chemical engineering for one year
at Northwestern University before
coming to Nebraska in 1956 as
assistant dean of Engineering.
He received his Bachelor of Sci
ence degree in 1943 from the Uni
versity of Wisconsin; his Masters
degree in 1948 and his Ph.D. in
1951, both from Northwestern Uni
versity.
From 1943-46 he was process en -

AWS To Hold
Annual Booth
On Thursday
The annual AWS-sponsored ac

will be open Thursday in the Main
Hall of the Union, according to
Marilyn Pickett, chairman.
Any woman interested in signing
up for work on any university or

between 2 and 5 p.m.
There will be a representative
from each organization present at
the booth to answer any question
which may arise and to encourage
participants, Miss Pickett said.
Upperclass women are asked to
leave their names and addresses
at the booths in order to make
contacting easier, she said.
No woman should sign up for
any activity in which she does not
intend to participate, Miss Pickett
stressed and organizations should
be sure to use the workers that do
indicate interest.
Freshman women will be given
an opportunity to Jain activity
later in the year. AWS rules pre

school.

New Prof
Promotes
Journalism
"A Journalism school graduate
has a better chance nowdays of
becoming a professional newspaper
member than an Arts and Sciences
graduate," Dr. Robert Cranford,
associate professor of the School
of Journalism said Tuesday in an
interview with the Daily Ne
braskan. "Most newspaper editors today
consider Journalism schools as
giving the student a well-rounded
academic and professional journa
lism program. In the past, editors
believed that schools only taught
journalism techniques but today
realize only 25 per cent of the
- "" student's courses are
Asked if women are on an equal
par with men in the field of jour
nalism, Dr. Cranford replied that
"most newspaper editors consider
women equal to men although
some editors discriminate against
women. The reason for this is just
when a woman is trained, many
are lost to the field of home-
makers."
Graduating from Duke Univer
sity, Dr. Cranford began his ca
reer on a Southern newspaper as
a proofreader with the promise of
a position on the staff as soon
as there was an opneing. From
a promotion to assistant manager
editor on the paper, Dr. Cranford
varied his career by broadcasting
the news twice a day over a Char
lotte, South Carolina radio station,
and performing with a vocal trio
on that same station.
After 20 years experience with
several Southern newspapers and
the Associate Press, Dr. Cranford
decided to further his education
at South Carolina University, re
ceiving his Masters degree in
Journalism and later his PhD at
Iowa University.
At Iowa while teaching journal
ism, he had an amusing exper
ience. Some of his students to
whom he taught journalism clas
ses were fellow students in some
of his other classes. The students
showed respect for him while he
was an instructor but the next
hour called him Bob in class.
Journalistic talent runs in the
Cranford family. Dr. Cranford's
father was a country editor and
school teacher and his daughter
is now a writer of commercials
for "Father Knows Best" show and
also works with the Thomas Ad
vertising Agency in New York.
Coming to Nebraska from North
western University where he
taught classes for four years, Dr.
Cranford is teaching news editorial
courses, reporting and news writ
ing and editing courses here at
the University.
