Graduates Use Gimmicks In Pressure For Jobs
Chicago—(U.P.) — College students are using elaborate advertising and fancy gimmicks in their search for jobs. They are invading the tightening labor market with everything from billboard advertisements to personalized match covers designed to attract the attention of employers.
At East Lansing, Mich., Michigan State college senior Art Miller set up a 14-by-7-foot sign informing employers that he was a mechanical engineer "trained in better methods."
Dwayne Brown, who was graduated from Creighton university in Omaha in January with a major in journalism, was plying editors with match covers containing his picture, name, address and catch phrases. At last report he was still looking for a job.
Standard Oil of California received a brochure with a mirror attached in one corner. A big arrow pointed to the mirror with the inscription "are you looking for this man?" Another arrow pointed to a picture of the applicant with the question, "or are you looking for this man?"
A University of Missouri student sent out a brochure with a headline reading, "Ed English hits labor market." English included five cartoons, one showing him being kicked out of school with diploma in hand.
The personnel director of Kaiser corporation at Oakland, Calif., received a brochure with a dollar bill
Air Engineers Build'Saucers'
Flying saucers were reported seen on the campus recently by several persons that visited the 1950 Engineering Exposition. The "saucers" were part of the aeronautical engineers' exhibit in the aeronautical laboratory behind Marvin hall. The "saucers" are disc-like and painted red and blue. Each is complete with cockpit and the lower part is ribbed to give circular motion as it "flys" above the vertical wind tunnel built by the students.
Also in the same laboratory are the original wings of the "mystery S" a small plane flown by Capt. Frank Hawks, speed pilot. Captain Hawks made several cross-country records in this plane.
The aeronautical engineers have several cut-away models of aircraft engines and photos of some of the latest aircraft being put into production.
50-60 Geographers To Visit University
From 50 to 60 members of the American Society of Professional Geographers stationed in the northern great plains area will be guests of the department of geography Friday and Saturday.
The geographers will come from an area east of Salt Lake City between the Canadian and Oklahoma borders. During their two-day stay in Lawrence the main part of their program will be a field trip to northeastern Kansas. The geographers will study particularly the transitional nature of the agriculture from the humid eastern part to the less humid middle section of the state. Dr. Walter Kollmorgen, head of the geography department, is in charge of arrangements.
Research Unit To Be Organized
Students interested in joining the navy research unit to be established here are advised to turn in their applications to the navy offices in the Military Science building or to any member of the organizing committee.
Applications and further information can be obtained from any of the above.
Officers and enlisted men of the navy reserve of any classification who are, or plan to be, engaged in research are invited to join the organization.
attached. The brochure informed him that the applicant would bring dollars to the company.
Bill Gorski of the University of Washington said he approaches all personnel managers with the blunt statement, "I want your job."
"It itches them for a loss for a minute and I can start my pitch," he said. But so far his pitches haven't landed him a job.
Howard Baumgartel, instructor of economics and a member of the Y.M.C.A. advisory board, will speak Friday at noon before the faculty forum in the East room of the Union building.
Baumgartel Will Speak To Forum
Mr. Baumgartel's talk will deal with a particular method of investigating problems in human relations.
Coal sometimes ignites spontaneously in a shaft, the phenomenon being called a "gbb fire."
