Hopeful Job Outlook For Grads
Dance Heads Still Can't Find Groove
- Johnstone Irked at Old Council's Lax Methods On Manager Bill
By Reginald Buxton, c'40
Confusion still reigned today in the selection of the Varsity Dance Manager.
The Varsity Dance Manager bill still remains to be signed and published in the Kansan before it goes into full force and effect.
Red Tape Trouble
Leo Johnstone, e40, president of the Student Union Activities committee, said today that he would act in the dance manager's place Monday in presenting varsity dance date to the K-Book committee.
Johnstone isn't very happy about the mix-up but optimistically looks for something to break the red tape and allow the committee to go ahead and officially select a dance manager. Fred Littorio, c39, was selected for the position first but that was before the committee discovered that the old Men's Student Council had not had the new dance bill signed by the Chancellor and published in the Kansan.
Nothing To Do
The president of the Memorial Union Activities committee firmly believes that the Council passing a bill should be responsible for carrying it into full force and effect. The bill was real and approved for the last time on May 1, of this year, by the old M.S.C.
The bill was presented at the Chancellor's office Tuesday but Doctor Lindley has been too busy to examine and sign it. The Varsity Dance Manager committee met yesterday in the Memorial Union building on on finding that the Chancellor had not yet signed the bill could do nothing but sit around and get acquainted.
Apply Now For Practice Teaching Students wishing to practice teach next fall in either academic or fine arts subjects in Oread Training School or Lawrence schools should make application immediately at the school, according to Raymond A. Schweiger, dean of the School of Education.
Authorized Parties-and all those who have not finished and received their pilot's license by that time will be dropped from the course.

Please Don't Page Students In Library
Final frantic students were started unduly in the course of serious bookworming in Watson library last night when a booming voice came out of the dark, "Hey, Stew, what are you doing in the library?"
The shouted message apparently was intended for Stewart Jones, one of the mob of busy students. Jones looked up from his work, equally dismayed. He turned to crammers, turned red and tried to appear as inconspicuous as possible.
Voices don't come out of the dark into Watson's reserve room every night. So officials, and Jones, are investigating the source.
Student Earnings Up 25 Per Cent
Student earnings showed an increase of 25 per cent over last year, and jobs went up five per cent, according to an announcement made by the Men's Student Employment bureau today.
The bureau keeps a file of the 700 men registered and supplies them with jobs. Students from 17 states in Kansas are represented on the list.
This year 244 steadily jobs were found and 1299 old jobs were obtained. The total earnings were $83,532 and $8,633 over the last five years.
Townpeople who have jobs to be filled call the bureau, located in the alumni office, and the bureau sends students to fill the position. According to Fred Ellsworth, alumni office is criticized by some Lawrence people who believe that students take jobs away from them.
"The impression is wrong," he said. "The students bring more money into the town than they take away. Even the students with jobs have to pay for board and room as well as for fees and books."
Arts Students Conclude Recitals

Employers Are Seeking Trained Men
- Survey Made at University
Corresponds to Those
Made Nationally
Rv Mary Jane Sigler e'39
Employment prospects for members of this year's graduating class are better than they were for the class of '38, a survey made by the Kansas of University placement bureau reveals.
The more hopeful job outlook, as evidenced by the national and local surveys, is indicative of the increasing preference given to college graduates when filling positions. As competition for "white collar" and professional jobs gets keener, more and more employers are choosing the men with the best training. Try to Aid Majors
The job situation for University graduates, though not superior, is more hopeful than it has been for the past two years, and the outlook is far brighter than that of five years ago. The results of the University survey tally closely with those of national surveys made of prospective employment of graduating seniors throughout the country.
Not all departments of schools in the University maintain placement bureaus for their graduates. However, many of those that do not operate such organized bureaues make an effort to place their majors.
H. E. Chandler, director of the Teachers' Appointment Bureau, is in charge of placing nearly 200 graduate in education. Eighty-two of these seniors are now placed. This number placed at this time last year.
The busiest days for the Teachers' Appointment Bureau are in July and August, according to Mr. Chandler. By September the bureau will have placed between 225 and 250 teachers in view of the present outlook. In addition to the 200 senior registered nurses in the institution, a list is carried of about 300 names of employed teachers on the lookout for better jobs.
Want Music Teachers
The greatest demand is for teachers of music, commerce, home economics, and manual arts. There is less need for instructors of the more academic subjects of languages, mathematics, and social science.
Half of this year's 115 graduates of the School of Business are definitely placed, according to Dean Stockton By commencement an additional number will be located, 85 per cent will be taken care of, and by December 95 to 100 per cent will have found employment.
Dean Frank T. Stockton of the School of Business, head of the Business Placement Bureau, asserted that the job situation was "good, especially in view of the upet economic throughout the United States."
Employment through the Business Placement Bureau has picked up gradually during the last three years, and the opportunities this year are very much better than those of five years ago. Dean Stockton attributes this gain in part to the employment of business graduates on a long range basis; employers are choosing their men with the ideas in view of
'Huddle' May Be Just Another Pi Phi Fur Coat
Dick (Bring 'em Back Alive)
Amirine, who is well-known as a bull fighter and a football player, was dragging a brownish-gray raccoon with him about the Campus this morning. The animal was a birthday present to Sweetheart Dennie Lemoine, who has christened the playful little creature "Huddle."
Apparently lion-hearted Richard allowed the beast to ride on his shoulder and lick his hand.
Hudble visited reporting I class with Amerine and was the object of much interest on the part of Prof. H. Ladd Smooth Professor Smith commented, "Look, the poor woman is so cute in pet it. But Hudble scrawered away. An alert student wiser cracked," "He isn't that lonesome."

Students Win 6 of 10 Prizes In Contest
★ Lion's Share of Awards
In National Competition
To University Artists
The department of design students brought lauriers to the University this week by winning six out of 10 places in a nation wide meat poster contest. The contest was sponsored by the National Live Stock and Meat Board. Only requirements of the posters were that they should in some manner extol the virtues of meat.
Andrew Darling, fa'ulen, w first prize of $300 with a simple poster portraying a heavy chain running crosswise across the poster and bearing the simple inscription: "for strength, meat."
Fourth prize went to Jeanne Mantele, fau'enc; fifth, Gertude Krauphan, fa'uncel; sixth, Charles W. Wright, Jr., fa'4; 2e' seventh, Louis Weinberg, fa'41; and ninth, Robert Sidow, fa'42.
The University design department, under the direction of Miss Rosemary Ketcham, also wins a handsome trophy as the college whose students submitted the best all-around group of posters.
The contest, national in scope, was open to any college, university, or art school students living in the United States. Several thousand responded with entries for the judging.
Losing second and third places wasn't such an oversight as it appears. Second place winner came from the University of Cincinnati art department which is under the supervision of Mary Margaret Perry, a graduate of the University design department and former assistant of Miss Ketaham's. Third place winner was from the Crouse college, of Syracuse University design department. Miss Ketaham was responsible for the development of the design department at the University of Syracuse.
Darling, national champion, first heard of his success last week when he received a telegram from the contest board saying:
"Congratulations. Your poster won first prize in meat poster contest. Rush good photograph of yourself."

They Can Fly, But Not From Finals
Ground school examinations will be given tomorrow to student airmen of the University, Flying School. All those who pass the examination and who have had sufficient flight training, will take their flight test next Tuesday to qualify for their private plot's license.
Not more than half of the students will be eligible for the flying test Tuesday, because many of the students have been too busy with athletics and outside work to give full time to the air training course. The air school will continue to give instruction until the last of June.
Since they soiled, about two months ago, the students have been occupied with precision flying, which includes dead-stick landings, figure "8s", blind flying, vertical banks, and recovery from tailspins. Their ground training includes courses in meteorology, air comfort, and aircraft design. The study of plane and motor construction is given this year, although it is possible that it may be included in next year's training.
Government officials that have examined the University's school say that they are well satisfied with it in every way, and agree that it probably has the best set-up of any of those they have examined.
The school next year, officials indicate, will probably be several times larger than this year, and will offer ten hours of ground work in place of the five offered this year. The exact amount of the government allotment for next year is not known, but it is expected that it will be more than it was the past year.
The heads of the different air schools will probably meet in Washington, D.C., sometime during the next month to discuss, with government officials, plans for courses next year.
Questionnaires, sent out by the government, show that several of the students plan to use the training they have received in this school to help them to get into the army or navy flying schools. Others plan to get planes of their own and want to be able to see there are a few who are undecided as to the use they will make of their training.
Sig Eps Rally In Seventh To Take Title
- Intromural Playoff Ends With Sig Alphas Losing 8-6 Before Last Inning Spurt
It was a "never say die" spirit that pulled the Sig Eip's from behind a run alp Abh lead. Each team was led by enthusiastic cheering sections.
Sigma Phi Epsilon scored eight runs in the last two innings yesterday to snatch the University intramural softball championship from Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 8 to 6.
By Clint Wood. c'40
Trailing by two runs at the start of the seventh and final inning, the Sig Ep's sounded off when Corla walked after Powell had sent a short fly to Leaves in short field. Cooper drove a ground ball to Ziegemeyer who jugged the chance, placing second. The second.
Sig Alphs Score First
Chilson was passed, filling the bases. Nees lifted a long飞车 to center, Corlis scoring after the catch Then Kresie came through with a line drive triple to right center, sending Cooper and Chilson across the plate with what proved to be the winning runs.
S. A. E. opened the scoring in the first when Ebling beat out an infield hit to Kresie, Kresie attempted to make the catch on the half hop and jugged it but Ebling had already reached first. Ebling later scored on Kresie's fumble of Brenetisen's round ball.
The Sig Alphs added two more in the second on a fielder's choice, Zieglemeyer's hit and two passed balls. Corlis, Sig Ep hurler, settled down and struck out Gale and Jerry Ewers.
Benny Ewers and Don Ebling led off the third inning for the Alps with hits and scored on Dick Hary's sacrifice fly and Corlis's wild pitch. The Sig Alps got their last run in the fourth when Ziegelmeyer doubled to short right field and scored when Florell's throw to second base bounced over Kresie's head.
Hall Weakens
Bill Hall pitched masterful ball for the Alphas until the fifth and had allowed only three hits when Grogan opened the fifth with a single, advanced to second while Powell struck out and scored on four balls. He first on a fielders choice and came in for "Gos." Nees home run to right center field. Kresie walked but Florell popped to cater Brenneisen to retire the side with four runs on four hits and Ebling's error.
Hurling Is Erratic
Corlis settled down and pitched steady, shut out ball after the fourth and the Alphs were unable to do a thing with him. Trailing by two runs in the first of the seventh the Sig Eps came through with their four run try to go out in front In their last time at bat the Alphs fired into a base as Jerry Ewers struck out, Benny Ewers fled to Grogan in right field and Ebling was an easy out.
Hall and Corlis each pitched erratically at times and then would settle down and hurt brilliantly for an inning or two with Corlis having slightly the better of the battle ("C", 2014). Corlis had five hits and struck out five but had difficulty with his control. He walked four batters and three runs were scored when catcher Timothy was unable to reach his wild pitches. Hall Bill struck out four Sig Eqs and walked six, allowing eight hits. Corlis had only wild pitch by Hall that resulted in a score was in the fifth when Cormier came in for the Sig Eqs second run.
Ewers A Fielding Star
Little Jerry Ewens was the fielding star of the game with two very fine catches in left field for the win. He returned to back and took Corlis' line drive
