Little Man On Campus
Business School Graduates Take Their Choice Of Jobs
Graduates from the School of Business will average more than two job opportunities this year with some having as many as five choices, Frank Pinet, director of the business placement bureau, said today.
The bureau has received more than 400 offers for the business graduates.
More than 100 companies have had personnel representatives on the campus this spring to interview seniors, and about the same number have carried on correspondence to get trained men, Mr. Pinet said. Trained Men In Demand
There is a tremendous demand for men with combined engineering and business training, and the supply is far short of demand because the curriculum is new here, he said.
Salaries for these jobs range from $175 a month to $350 a month for outstanding students. The average is about $225. The starting salaries appear fabulous compared to those offered the 1939 graduate who went to work for $60 to $100 a month.
vestments, is third. The fourth is industrial management.
Almost every type of business is represented, but Mr. Pinet has lumped them all into four groups. The largest field is merchandising and sales. Next is accounting, both public and industrial; financial work, including banking and in-
More Now Prefer Midwest
He gives three reasons for his belief that the trend has been reversed. More would like to stay in Kansas and the Midwest than in pre-war days.
ONE. Salary schedules in this area are up on a more nearly competitive basis with the east coast.
TWO. Housing isn't quite so tight in the Midwest and that problem looms large to the many married seniors.
THREE. They like it here.
On the basis of acceptances turned into the bureau, Mr. Pinet estimates that only about 25 per cent will remain in Kansas, and about 25 per cent will go to the far west or last.
Union Will Hold Open House
The Union's new $1,250 public address system will receive its first trial at an open house in the Union lobby from 4:30 to 5:30 this afternoon.
Allen D. Smith, College junior, will be the master of ceremonies. Popular records will be played during the hour.
Members of the announcements committee will serve cokes and cookies.

Perry Schuerman and Harold McSpadden, members of Sachem before it was nationalized, will also be formally admitted to the Omicron Delta Kappa tonight.
Here's your chance to take that long-waited European vacation.

Hark Ye, What Men Are These?school days, said that the only eight hour class day he had even experienced had been in an Army school in Pennsylvania, and that he was "awfully glad to leave that place."
Who Still Insist 8 Hours Is A Breeze
That weak, spots-before-your eyes feeling you get after eight hours of classes isn't mental fatigue, say two physiologists who think students have a soft time of it. Don't go gunning for them in Haworth, as the researchers are not KU. men, but Drs. T. C. Barnes and Marie D. Amoroso of Philadelphia.
Doctors in the medical school declined to comment directly, on the grounds of professional ethics, but Dr. Robert Jordan, remembering his
They connected an electron-encephalograph, the machine which records "brain-wave" patterns, to students who had been through a 0 a.m. to 5 p.m. class day, and on the basis of the brain waves, declared the school day "should be lengthened."
Doctors Have No Comment
Let's see, two hours studying for every hour of class, (as recommended in the K book) would be 24 hours of study. Eating, sleeping, laundry, and letters, must be taken care of on weekends.
"In fact, there is no place I know of where you spend eight hours in the class room." he said.
Married students especially had difficulty retaining their composure while giving opinions.
"I'd like to ask those physiologists how they'd like to get up at 6 a.m., fix breakfast, attend classes all day, go home, get dinner, take
care of a husband, study, get up at

Continues.
We left here, leaving Mrs. Phyllis Hodgkins, College senior residing at Sunflower, to mutter to herself as she thought of adding more classes to her already sagging schedule.
After uttering this gem, he calmly leaned over a tank and continued his cutting on the brown, smelly leg of a cadaver.
Some students wondered where the physiologists attended school, and how long ago. Some reactions were unprintable, but the prize remark was made by Glen Hutchison, who after hearing the over-eight-hours-of-class proposal, remarked that, "it all depends on what I am doing."
Big 6 Goes Back In Shell; Cancels Three KU Games
Big Six faculty representatives ordered Kansas to break three contracts for basketball games at Kansas City and knocked Oklahoma out of the All-College tournament at Oklahoma City in a meeting Saturday at Lincoln.
Returning to strict pre-war conservatism, the representatives instructed E. C. Quigley, Kansas athletic director to cancel games scheduled with Notre Dame, Oklahoma A. and M., and Texas at the Municipal auditorium in Kansas City. An old rule, relaxed during wartime, was again invoked which states that member schools must play all athletic contests on the home campus of one or the other of the contending schools.
The Sooners were told that they could not legally enter the All-College tournament at Oklahoma's Municipal auditorium because of the ruling which was voted back in force at the February meeting of the representatives.
The lone exception to the regulation is the Big Six meet at Kansas City in December which is conference sponsored. Oklahoma requested that it be permitted to play Holy Cross in the Sugar Bowl basketball game in New Orleans, December 30. The Sooners base the petition on the fact that football teams have been allowed to play bowl games.
Students Ask Investigation
Fayetteville, Ark. — (UP) —More than 350 students petitioned Gov. Ben Laney today to investigate the controversy at the University of Arkansas where a resigned educator leveled charges of “politics in the school” resulting in faculty “purges.”
Dr. Rosser B. Melton, who resigned after two years as an associate economics professor, charged that the colleges of business administration and agriculture were being "nurged" by the administration.
Dean Robert A. Leflar head of the administrative committee denied the charge in the absence of the University's new president, Dr. Lewis Webster Jones.
He added that the University's administrative committee had been unable to find any evidence of "such repression" at the University.
Dean Paul W. Milam of the College of Business administration said that the whole question "involves whether Communism is being taught in the University."
Dr. Melton disclaimed any Communistic tendencies saying that there is "too much politics in the school—the wrong kind of politics. Men with doctorates," he said, "were being by-passed for promotion by men with the right political connections."
WEATHER
Kansas—Partly cloudy. Occasional thundershowers today and tonight and in east Wednesday. Cooler southeast Wednesday. Low tonight 45 to 50 northwest to near 60 southeast.
