Engineers Are Popular Now
Jobs Seek June Graduates
A reversal in job-finding procedure is taking place for graduates of engineering schools throughout the country, and the School of Engineering here is no exception. Instead of having to hunt for work, almost every June graduate has been given two or three offers, and many have had an even larger number. Some of the graduates have been placed for several weeks.
The stepped-up defense program is probably the biggest reason for the demand for engineers, as there is a shortage of trained technicians in most of the defense industries. The army and air corps are also taking in many of the graduates.
Still Inquiring
Inquiries are still coming in to the office of the School of Engineering from various industries, asking for names of the upper 10 and 20 per cent of the graduating class, in spite of the fact that nearly all of the graduates have been placed or already are considering a number of offers.
An analysis of the placements shows that about 30 percent of the graduates have been placed in Kansas or adjoining states.
All but three of the 11 graduates of the department of civil engineering have been placed in engineering
Release Year's Last 'Enqineer'
The May issue of the Kansas Engineer, official publication of the School of Engineering, was released yesterday. It is the first issue under the new editor, Bill Douce.
Features of this issue are a round-up story of the Engineering Exposition by Jack Cadden; pictures and a story of the Hobnail Hop, "Men of Marvin," stories about the students and the teachers and technical articles by students.
Roger Prior's essay on "A Balanced College Life," which won the Tau Beta Pi, honorary engine fraternity prize for the best essay submitted by a pledge, also appears in the issue.
Just for fun, there is a page of humor by Stuart Bunn, a quiz prepared by Presson Shane and Tommy Arbuckle's column.
A picture of the model of the Kansas City airport, one of the features of the mechanical engineering exhibit at the Exposition, appears on the cover of the magazine.
