4.., Wednesday, September 15, 1965 The Daily Nebraskon Page 3 University Gives Diplomas To 2200 Within Past Year Graduation. 1965 saw a total of 2.200 students at the Uni versity walk up the aisle and receive diplomas at three dif ferent times of the year. A little over half of these students sought and found em ployment as of graduation through the Student Place ment Division. The others went in to grad nate school, the armed forc es, were self-employed, mar ried, or were undecided at the time of graduation. Some of the statistics for these students at the time of graduation from all colleges except Teachers College are: 1535 graduates: 306 went to graduate school at the University. 108 went to other gradu ate schools. 11 were undecided. 123 joined the armed forces. 5 were already in the armed forces. 25 were married and sought no employment. 44 were self employed. 611 sought and accepted employment through the Uni versity's Placement Division. 127 were seeking employ ment. Of the 600 students gradu ating from colleges other than Teachers College who found employment either through student placement or with its help, approximately half of them left the state. "The balance between stu dents who leave the state and those who stay," Frank Hal gren, director of placement, said, "is pretty well fifty-fifty except for in engineering and graduate colleges." He pointed out that approx imately 65 of the engineer ing students and 57 of the students from graduate col leges took jobs out of the state of Nebraska. Students who left the state went to almost every other state in the nation along with foreign countries 'such as Egypt, Argentina and Eng land. "Obviously," he said, "the opportunities for scientific and technical personnel af- greater outside of the state." Nebraska, he said, just doesn't need that many engi neers, scientists or highly skilled technical people. "Places like Hallam," he said, "can take just so many." In the Teachers College, which is the only college not included in the Student Place ment Division, approximate ly 735 graduating students sought jobs. Only 40 of these students or 298 of them left the state. Legal Problems Hamper Discount Card Distribution Last year's most stirring student government contro versy on the University cam pus the student discount card operation may sodn come to a boil again. Kent Neumeister, president of the Association of the Stu dents of the University of Ne braska (ASUN), has explain ed that because of legai prob lems the approximately 14,000 6tudent discount cards have not yet been landed out to University students. Neither Neumeister nor Vice Chancellor G. Robert Ross seems to understand exactly what the problem is, but each said that it involved a man named J.B. Founder, who seems to claim some jur isdiction or ownership of the discount business. Neumeister said that Four nier had talked only once to himself (Neumeister) and Ross, and they weren't sure what his claims were on the cards, but that the cards wouldn't be distributed until legal counsel finished study ing the problem. Ross explained that Four rier had said he was a former student at the University and had something to do with starting the idea of discount cards. Fournicr, Ross pointed out, seems to think he has some jurisdiction or ownership over the cards. Ross said he had never heard of Fournier before he talked to him recently. Neu meister did mention that Fournier's. name had been brought up briefly last year in the student discount investi gation. Fournier was mentioned first last year when Council President John Lydick said he had received a phone call from Fournier saying that the discount cards were his pri vate enterprise and that Bob Kerrey, who was last year's controversial chairman of the cards, was his "employee." Fournier had been asked to submit a written statement to the committee investigating the cards at that time, but apparently had not done so until recently this year. According to what Fournier told Lydick at that time, he had made Kerrey his "part ner" because he would not be in Lincoln and wanted Kerrey to keep the discount cards going. The Daily Nebraskan reached Fournier in Omaha by telephone and he admitted that he did claim some con trol over the "discount cards. He said the cards were or iginally his ideas and were his business. He again pointed out that Kerrey was his "em ployee." Fournier said he hoped that the matter could be settled in at least ten days. The whole controversy first began in February of last year when the Student Coun cil found that Bob Kerrey, who was second vice presi dent of the Council, was mak ing a profit on the sale of student discount cards to businessmen. He was not asked to return to Council the money he made and he was not removed from his position. 1 1 m Q McPONMCS COLORATION, lM McDonald's Amazing Menu 100 Pure Beef Hamburgers Tempting Cheeseburgers Old-Fashioned Shakes Crisp Golden French Fries Thirst-Quenching Coke Delightful Root Beer Coffee As You Like It Full-Flavored Orange Driak Refreshing Cold Milk look for the goWen orefces PJtePesialdi's 865 N. 27th Job Corps May Locate At Air Base The University, in conjunc tion with Northern Natural Gas Co., is exploring the pos sibility of a proposal for a Job Corps Center to be locat ed at the Lincoln Air Force Base. Vice Chancellor G. Robert Ross, dean of Student Affairs said that a decision on wheth er a proposal would be made would be upcoming in the next two or three months. The Job Corps training pro gram offers a voluntary, resi dential experience to young men and women, ages 16-21. Enrollment will be limited, ex cept in exceptional circum stances, to those who have not completed high school and for whom regular academic, vocational and training pro grams have proven to be in adequate and impracticable. New Students Receive Help Forty-five hundred f r e s fa men. How can they be assured that their class schedules car ry the courses they want and need, and how can their par ents be convinced that each student will be treated as an individual? The University attempts to solve these problems each year by two coordinated ef forts called the Summer Pro gram for New Students and Parents and New Student Or ientation, under the direction of Lee Chatfield, associate dean of Student Affairs and director of Junior Division and Counseling Service. This year over 4,000 par ents and students attended the r2-day sessions from June 16 to August 5. Both parents and freshmen received tours from under graduates of the University and students reviewed and adjusted their schedules with senior faculty advisors. "The parents, I expect, get more good out of the program than the students," Dean Chat field said. "They are amazed at the personal attention giv en each new student." The daily groups of 100-125 persons were invited so that the number in each college was about in the same pro portion as the freshman class will be. "For instance," Dean Chat field said, "about one-third of each group was in the College of Arts and Sciences." New Student Orientation, which actually began last Wednesday with "moving-in" procedures, included meetings with advisers. Besides the All New Student Convocation held Friday mor ning, some of the year's first official social events were a part of the program. Cornhusker Night, featuring a barbeque at the East Cam pus, preceeded the All Wom en's Meet style show. The Frosh Hop, named the "first social highlight of the year," ended the official ac tivities of the orientation pro gram. NEW MAGIC IN DIAMOND RINGS "T ' rtt served1 Yes. it almost seems like magic.
