Hershey Says Younger Men May Be Called
Miami —(U.P.)— Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, national selective service director, has urged that all men under 26 be "made available" to the armed forces and that older men, up to 35, form a "swing shift" for a possible military emergency.
Gen. Hershey made a plea for an adequate, trained reserve force in a banquet address last night before the 76th annual general conference of the National Guard association which ends today.
"I don't like to hear that we can't have a trained reserve because there are no men available," Gen. Hershey said. "We have the numbers. I think we can rake up some men."
Gen. Hershey then outlined means of finding them. First, he urged that the armed forces take a second look at all the men under 26 who have been rejected for service. He also said that men between 26 and 35 should be ready for call in the event of an emergency.
All men over 35 would be "lie
largely out to pasture," he said.

'Open City' Is Tomorrow's Film
"Open City," an Italian film based on the Gestapo underground in World War II, will be shown at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in Hoch auditorium.

Few Jobs for Campus Women Assistant Dean Reports

Other jobs include cashier work, food service, laboratory work, grading papers, and library wor. Some downtown stores and offices hire girls through the college employment service. Usually the girls work from 12 to 15 hours per week, and pay ranges from 55 to 75 cents an hour.
"The picture looks bleak, however you look at it," Miss Hardman said. She advises freshmen and new students to bring enough money for the first semester. It is sometimes possible for a woman student to find a job after she gets better acquainted with the campus.
