Speaking was an advocate for better college training, Lon D. Barton in Chicago.

The Much-Accused "It is true that in recent years colleges of business ad ministration have been ac cused of furnishing a lack of direction," said Dr. Stuart Hall, University of Nebraska professor of Economics. "But we are dealing with andergradaates wha may not know exactly Into which bus iness r industry they wiD go," HaA said. "And the main reason it's difficult to give specific ad vice is that there are all kinds of businesses with all kinds of different demands. According to the professor, other complaiaers, and there are many, say that in col leges and universities too much emphasis is placed on the vocational aspect and al so that the graduate is trained bat not educated. "We want to give thea a liberal edscatiaa," HaTl pointed ut -Parents send their kids to school with the idea that they are going to have an edscaijoa when they are finished. At public ex pense, why should we train a man for a specific job we want to educate him." On the other., side of the coin. Barton continued, "No one has taken the time to dis cuss with young men the qualifications employers will accept for executive develop ment or analyre the routes for them to follow in achiev ing administrative and exec utive success. I have found universities and colleges are reluctant to examine this problem. "Recruiters for business who come to the University campus twice a year place emphasis on the ability to communicate and then to have something to communi cate, to think coherently" and independently," Hall said. Daniel Remigio, plant man ager of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., elaborated on the expected qualities f a young man going into industry. Oaulin? the late P. W. Litchfield, ex-chairman of the board for Goodyear, Remigio listed: good heahh character (the individual must be honest and trustworthy) ability (the ability to meet changing problems of materials and markets, of en gineering and finance and in dustrial relations; willing to give and take counsel) teamwork thrift (continued success depends npoa the gradual ac cumulation of savings to in sore against the rainy day; this is just as tree of busi ness as it is of an individual.) - Need Vision, Courage Remigio continued, "To re main successful, those who have reached high executive positions must have vision and courage in addition tt these five fundamentals. "Study hard through col lege," Remigio advised. "The student should get an AS degree or higher in business administration if his inter ests lie in sales and adminis tration; an engineering de gree plus a scientific masters or doctorate if his interests lie in research and produc tion. . Oa-Job Training "Most corporations do have teaming programs for push ing ahead potential executives i at a suitable rate, according to Remigio. . -Jfr Li?!.""' ! Si TTI II -j II II TT1 II - II ..

His concluding advice "Seek a college education rather than a college diploma." What about Remigio's own experience with college grad uates? "We are happy with the college graduates we . have forking for us," he said. "We jave qualified recruiters and zan be selective." BEN YOUR HAIR DRESSER SCHOOL OF BEAUTY Ph.
