Bright Outlook For Students In Business School
Two years ago the School of Business class of 1951 wondered what the job market would be when they entered it. They have the answer now.
It's good.
The talent scouts from businesses large and small, from near and far are visiting the campus in great numbers. During the two-week period just starting 22 business organizations are sending personnel men to the School of Business, according to Dean Leonard Axe.
The interview schedule was heavy in March. It will probably be about as heavy during late April and early May. Because some companies send more than one representative, Dean Axe is occasionally pressed to find suitable interview rooms for all.
The school of business placement service is open to all K.U. students. It often coordinates interviews for students of other schools in the University. For example, General Electric is sending five interviewers to the campus seeking graduates in business, journalism and engineering.
Offers are being made this spring The "upper 10 percent only, please" policy isn't dead but is dying. One firm operating nationally interviewed eight men, offered jobs to seven.
A few months ago personnel men were apprehensive about a student's future draft or reserve status. Not so now, Dean Axe said. They want the men now . . . and to nail them down for when they return from anv service call.
Pay offers are mostly within the $250 to $225 a month bracket, Dean Axe reported. Company policy, type of work and experience and ability of the man are factors producing the swing.
Production men, that is, those training in the industrial management curriculum involving business and engineering, are in great demand and seem to command a slightly higher starting salary.
Men trained for accounting on sales work are eagerly sought. But snapped up the quickest are the women and few men completing the secretarial training major.
During April 4-19, these firms will interview students: Peat, Marwick & Mitchell; Price, Waterhouse Co., J. D. Leidesdorf & Co., Arthur Anderson & Co., Arthur Young & Co., and Touche, Nivea, Bailey & Smart all accounting firms; the Kansas Blue Cross, Travellers Insurance, Equitable Life Assurance society, Royal-Liverpool Insurance group, Liberty Mutual Insurance and Cimarron Insurance Co.; Butler Mfg. Co., Magonlia Petroleum, Commerce Acceptance Co. of Atchison, General Electric, Hall Bros. Inc., Macy's Gulf Oil, Bell Telephone, S. S. Kresge and Cargill, Inc.

Gerald M. Carney, associate professor of music education, will conduct a clinic at Rosedale, Kansas City, Kan., which will include Washington-Rural, and Turner. He will rehearse with a band and chorus in the afternoon and present a concert in the evening.
LYNETTE OBERG, fine arts senior, second from right, will be the University's candidate for queen of the Kansas Relays. Her attendants, left to right, are Barbara Findley, College sophomore; Beverlee Strasser, fine arts freshman; and Virginia Ireland, College junior.
Lynette Oberg To Be KU Relays Queen Candidate
Eighty women fidgeted away the evening in the smoke-filled Kansas room of the Union Thursday as they awaited the selection of the candidate for queen of the 26th annual Kansas Relays and her three attendants.
Lynette Oberg, fine arts senior, was selected as the queen candidate. Miss Oberg was runner-up in the 1950 Miss Kansas contest. She was nominated by the Delta Delta Delta sorority and is from Wilmette, Ill.
Miss Ireland is a member of Pi Beta Phi sorority, Miss Findley of Alpha Delta Pi, and Miss Strasser of Chi Omega.
Virginia Ireland, College junior Lawrence; Barbara Findley, College sophomore, Osawatomie; and Beverlee Strasser, fine arts freshman, Kansas City, Kan., were selected as Miss Oberg's attendants.
The candidates drank coffee, cokes, and tea, played nervous games of bridge or chatted about pending homework as they waited between interviews with the three judges. The judging took five hours, ending about 12:30 this morning.
The girls were entertained during the evening by the Sigma Alpha Epsilon trio and the Phi Gamma Delta three-man jazz combination.
Miss Oberg will compete agains candidates from seven other Kansas schools for the title of Relays queen. In 1950 the title went to Miss Joan Lawrence of the University of Wichita. Miss Lawrence was the second queen from another school to reign over the Relays.
London —(U.P.) A motion was introduced in the house of commons today calling for an expression of "no confidence" in the leadership of General Douglas MacArthur as U.N. supreme commander in Korea.
The last University of Kansas woman to hold the title was Miss Diane Stryker in 1949.
More girls competed in this year's contest for the candidacy than in any past year.

Student Reports Execution For Journalism Course
By EMLIN NORTH, Jr.
I saw a man hanged this morning. He was Preston F. McBride, convicted slayer of a Hutchinson taxi driver.
Accompanied by Richard Tatum, journalism senior, who, with me is working on the Leavenworth Times as part of a Reporting III course. I sat in the warden's office sweating out the time of the execution along with other newspaper reporters and prison officials.
The warden attempted to entertain us with tales of his prison experiences. Cigaret smoke filled the air as each man present tried to combat his nervousness.
Finally, the warden arose and said, "Let's go boys." It was 12:45 a.m. We marched through three heavily barred doors to the prison yard, and were led through the mud to a large stone warehouse where the gallows stood.
The large, brightly lighted building echoed with the footsteps of the 23 newspaper correspondents, prison officials and guards. In the corner stood the gallows.
We had waited only a few minutes when the condemned man was escorted into the building preceded by two Catholic priests. He walked briskly and stood erect.
The group stopped at the foot of the 13 steps and Warden Robert Hudspeth of the Kansas State Penitentiary asked the prisoner if he wished to make a last statement.
McBride replied that he did.
"May God bless everybody and have mercy on my soul," he said. "Father, pray for me." Turning to the witnesses he said, "Fellows, you pray for me and I'll pray for you."
Then the little group of two priests, three prison officials, the executioner and McBride moved up the steps to the gallows.
An official bound McBride's knees and hands, and placed the noose around his neck. One of the priests held a small crucifix while the ed-demned man kissed it. As the priest moved away a black hood was placed over McBride's head and neck.
The warden raised his finger. The executioner tripped the release at 1:01 a.m.
Thirteen minutes later, at 1:14 am., Preston McBride was officially pronounced dead.
