Report Jobs Looking For Graduates
By GEORGE SITTERLY
"Trying to keep from accepting a job after graduation this spring will require more resourcefulness and 'luck' than getting a job has required in the past," is the collective opinion of three University officials who have been in close contact with various employment bureaus conducted from the campus.
J. J. Jalotosky, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, feels that before the semester is over requests for applicants from companies in search of men with specialized training will total 10 times the number of the School's available men.
Sees 3-Year Training Period
Dean Frank T. Stockton, School of Business, sees the imminent possibility of a three-year term for intensive training in colleges and universities in order to take care of the increased demand for trained men and women in all fields.
H. E. Chandler, secretary of the Teachers Appointment Bureau, predicted in his annual report there would be a great increase in demand for women teachers to fill vacancies created by the conscription law.
At the present time, almost all of the available prospective graduates from the School of Engineering have accepted positions following interviews with personnel representatives of companies from every section of the country.
Clamor for Engine Grads
Increased demand brought about by the requirements of national defense has forced major U.S. industries to go farther afield for additional men who hold degrees in engineering from accredited schools and colleges.
Coupled with this increase, the usual demand for young engineers in every field has resulted in what is literally a clamor for men.
At the present time, some 25 or 30 major companies have sent their representatives here in quest of men. Some, by letter and telegram, have arranged for likely candidates to visit central plants and offices at company expense.
Minimizes Draft Influence
Jakosky mitigates any influence the draft law may have on engineering graduates other than that already apparent in increasing the

number of vacancies and new positions open to men with specialized training.
Because of indispensibility of engineers employed in national defense and other key industries, engineers, as a class, will receive deferment from military training and service.
Recently, a check by School of Business officials revealed that 13 prospective graduates had received orders to report for training immediately after commencement, or had decided to enlist voluntarily. 30 Percent Certain of Future.
On the other hand, graduates from the School of Business, unless specifically deferred because of physical disabilities or special responsibilities, are subject to call for a year's military service.
Some indicated further studies in the School of Law or in schools of business with the aid of graduate fellowships, and others were expecting to be employed in family enterprises.
The check also showed that, including those entering service, about 30 percent of the senior class were certain of their future following graduation.
Whether office employment in key defense industries will constitute legitimate reason for deferment from military service remains for local draft boards to decide, Stockton said, but he sees no possibility that graduates with degrees from business schools will be deferred as a class.
term may be shortened to a three-year period with no summer vacations, in order to meet the demand for employees with specialized training.
Convinced that the war will be a long one, Stockton predicted that the period will be marked by a decrease in the number of students attending colleges and universities, just as was the case during the last world war, and an intensity of schedules will also be apparent.
The draft law and the emergencies brought about by the race to prepare the country's defense will, however, bring about far-reaching changes in the picture of American higher education, Stockton said. Sees Shortened Term
In the teaching field, Chandler sees two marked trends in addition to the general increase in demand for capable educators which always follows an upward turn of business conditions.
The length of the usual four-year
Women To Get Inning
There will be a decided disposition on the part of teacher employers to hire women who can meet requirements as instructors in the natural sciences, usually a premise almost entirely monopolized by men.
The induction of male teachers into the army will be responsible for this change, Chandler said.
With the upturn in business conditions there will be an increase in the number of women teachers who relinquish teaching positions for marriage, a trend which has been noticeable in the past.
Ask for Business Applicants
The entire job outlook may be seen easily by appraisal of a notice printed in the Graduate magazine last month.
The notice requests all unemployed recent graduates of the School of Business accounting department to get in touch with the School's employment bureau, because the number of calls for accountants has been far greater than the number of men available.
