Job shortage a ffects grads
Continued from Page 1
Lyle ' E. Young, Assistant
Dean of the College of
Engineering and Architecture,
said, "We are entering a time
where jobs will be much tighter
for college students supply is
catching up with demand."
Young said he believed the
big shortages and need for
trained people will be the
technical areas. "You can no
longer afford to attend college
for glamor or learning to
understand yourself unless you
are wealthy, because competi
tion has forced graduates to
develop a set of marketable
skills," he said.
There are also a larger
number of students in school
than ever before, he said. This
will continue to climb, Young
Take off!

Dudley Bailey, English
department chairman,
described the job market for
English graduates as "very
tight." He explained that more
colleges are turning out more
English Ph.D.'s and the market
is becoming saturated.
"Many English departments
have been built since the war
and have young staffs," Bailey
said. "Here, for instance, we
will only have two or three
people getting old enough to
retire in the next fifteen
years."
He said that all but one of
this year's Ph.D. graduates in
English have teaching posts in
four year colleges. Two-year
junior colleges may be in
creasingly good markets for
English Ph.D's in years to
come, he said.
Robert G. Zilly, associate
professor of construction
science said there is no pro-
Diem for construction science
graduates looking for work. A
great deal of building is going
on and demand for construction
science majors is still high, he
added.
Zilly noted that the job
situation is somewhat tighter
for architects. However, there
is no real problem in this field
either, he said.
Charles Nelson, an English
Ph.D. candidate, described the
situation at the Modern
Language Association conven
tion in Denver as "a bargain
basement." At the convention
there were 12 to 14 applicants
for every job, he said.
Gary cruris, a senior in
electrical engineering who has
been through about 25 job in
terviews, commented, "It's
frustrating after going through
four years of college to find
that nobody wants yot:.
