Demand for Journalists
Press, Army Compete
Plenty of good jobs awaited journalism graduates this year, and job offers continue to come in, according to Prof. Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department. All graduates who desired newspaper work have been placed; women had no difficulty finding good positions.
Anne Nettels has joined the publicity department of General Electric in its main offices in Schenectady, N. Y. Eleanor Van Nice is on the editorial staff of the Cairo, Ill. Evening Citizen. Betty Abels Ewing is working on the Outlook in Lawrence. Evelena Jackson joined the staff of the Sepia Socialite, Negro publication in New Orleans, after summer session.
"We've actually had 'jobs to burn'," Professor Beth declared. During this week, we've regretfully had to turn down four employers—and every one offered excellent opportunities. Publishers especially desire to hire capable women."
Among recent journalism graduates who accepted jobs are Mary Frances McAnaw, who is doing reporting and editing for the Hutchinson News, and Heidi VIets, columnist for the Daily Kansan, who is doing general reporting work on the Ottawa Herald.
Charles Carr is doing advertising and layout work for the Hallmark greeting card organization in Kansas City. Wilbur McCool has spent the summer as advertising solicitor for the Beatrice, Neb., Daily Sun. He and his wife visited in Lawrence Tuesday.
John Harvey has joined the Marines and is in San Diego, but he spent the summer doing editing work for the Springfield (Mo.) Daily News. David Whitneyworks for the Topeka Daily Capital. Stanley Stauffer has been on the Topeka State Journal staff, awaiting call to the Army air corps.
Charles Pearson edited the Summer Session Kansan, had several job offers, but had to refuse because of the
draft. Robert Trump is doing graduate work at Harvard, having won a scholarship in the school of business.
Kenneth Jackson, winner of several journalism awards and secretary of the journalism department for four years, was accepted for military service soon after Commenment.
Don't Write Soldier You Do Not Know, Army Chief Warns
"Don't write to a soldier unless you know him personally."
That was the request and blunt warning of Col. Frank J. Coleman, assistant chief of staff, Gulf Coast Army Air Forces training center, today as he explained misguided enthusiasm of many clubs and high school students seeking to be friendly with soldiers through correspondence was hurting the war effort.
"It is vital that secrecy be maintained about what organizations are overseas or on active war duty," Coleman said. Correspondence with unknown persons by soldiers might easily be a means of spies obtaining information the War department wants kept secret, he explained.
Coleman said he did not mean that writing letters to soldiers who are relatives or friends should stop. This, in fact, is encouraged by the army, but unsolicited letters from persons unknown to the soldiers are not.
He also requested well meaning organizations to discontinue meeting troop carrying trains at the railway stations, talking to the soldiers and handing out cigarettes and food.
"This activity should be left to the USO which is in direct touch with the amry and knows what it can do properly," he said.
