- Northwestern Placement Expert Point to Transportation and Communication Industries
By Alva Powell, c'41
Don't follow the dollar, follow the job, Robert E. Day, direction of placement at Northwestern University, advised prospective job seekers last night in Fraser Theatre in an address, "How to Find a Payroll and Get Your Name on It."
"In many instances it is better to turn down a high salaried position for a lower salaried one because it gives the better a better background on which to build for the future." Day declared. "You will accept a better position to select your job than you are present." he affirmed.
Many Lack Experience
Too many entering the business world in search of jobs are prone to look for the best paying job and often they do not have the knowledge and background required for such jobs, he said. Conditions of work and span of the occupation should be considered as well.
"Plan what you want to do in the future and start at the bottom and work up if you have to in order to get there." Day said. "Don't be afraid to sacrifice a few dollars in salary for a job with a future."
Entering into the business world from college has it ups and downs and it takes on the average about six years for one to get setTied in a life's work." Day assured his audience.
"Even thought the conditions of the 1939 season aren't as good as we would like to see them, we must admit that chances for jobs are equally as good as formerly," he said. College Training Helps
Statistics also show that ninety-six per cent of all college men and ninety-three per cent of all college women graduates find jobs within two years after graduation. On the average forty per cent are usually unemployed for two months after graduation. Day said.
Statistics show that the college graduate is locating in jobs of the higher bracket, 'and that a college education has improved the chances of getting a job. Where the amount of education is increased, salary is increased, and hours of work usually decreased, Day explained. The average hourly wage for employees run about $1,349, and for women $1,092, he stated.
New M.S.C. Chief--en carried seven of the nine schools to amass a total of 1.045 votes, Pachacama's John Oakson, c'40, received 838 and Robert Ramsay, c'uncl, goldfish gulper, received 60.
"Will I be able to a job relating to my college major?" Statistics show again that sixty per cent of all college students find employment directly relating to their major, the speaker pointed out.
Opportunity for good jobs are found in two main fields today, transportation and communication. There is becoming a marked need for trained men in railroad trans- tranportation, and we have many jobs waiting to be filled. Teaching, engineering, and law are also placing many graduates every year, but are more crowded than the above two, he explained.
In choosing your occupation there are three factors to consider, individual fitness, general fitness and, "do I like this position?" Research of these three questions are of vital importance to every job seeker in both getting and holding a job, he afirmed.
Education Is No Substitute
The next problem is to contact your employer. This can be met in two different ways, either by interview or by letter of application. The best way is usually by the best method in the majority of instances, although for certain jobs the letter of application is preferred, advised Day.
C. H. Mullen, P.S.G.L.'s new president of the Men's Student Council, said last night: "May I express to the men of the University a sincere and humble response to our concerns that they have accorded me. The Council is composed of men who know and respect each other and I firmly believe that we can work to the best interests of the general student body. To this ideal we have achieved in the university which you have placed in me, I pledge my every effort this coming year."
Blaine Grimes, nominal head of the Pachacampe party, who will be succeeded by Mullen. Grimes has held the position since he was elected last spring.

Political Brawl Mars Election
★ Opposing Party Workers Participate in Altercation At Union Building
Intense rivalry and overwrought nerves resulted last night in a brawl between one P.S.L.G. and another of the Memorial Union building.
The League climbed back into power yesterday behind the sweeping victory of its presidential candidate, C. H. Mullen, c-39, electing 10 members of 19 on the Men's Student Council and taking three class offices.
Mike Andrews, P.S.G.L's candidate for Fine Arts representative tangled with Vie Blakley and Floyd Witty. The Pacchac mac workers at 11 p.m.
Witnesses said that Andrews struck Blakely three times, knocking him to the floor. Then he hit Smith, knocking him into the tall wall beside side of the room lounge. Politicians milled about and scattered.
Smith picked himself up and, seeing Andrew, made a flank run through the crowd, dodging as he tried to run, onlookers reported. Andrew followed, running into the light post by a pillar. Friends of Andrew caught up with him and quieted him down. While Dan Ruhle, ed 40 had Andrews' arms pinched before him, a man identified as Ken Anderson could escape Cinderappreo Andrew in the mouth breaking a tooth.
Andrews fussed and quieted down, but warned: "Let my arms go! Don't let them hit me again while my arms are tied."
Rhule said he did not know that Andrews had been hit. He was informed of it later.
Henry Werner, adviser to men,
was attending a meeting in the
Union building at the time and
rushed up to stop the fight. The
politicians surrounding the bulletin
board scattered.
Andrews, while out carrying voters to the polls yesterday in his car, was allegedly forced into the curb by a Pacchione car driven by Floyd, giving the Fayleey, c:42; Floyd, c:42; and Allen Ewing, c:42.
Blakely had been following the P.S.L. sound truck about the campus interrupting their broadcast by blowing horns. In front of the medical building, Andrews claims that the Facchae carmace for him into the curb. Ewing an occupant of the Rising Sun car insisted that it was an accident that resulted from their car sliding on the wet pavement.

The Rising Sun party offset to a certain extent P.S.L.G. one-vote council authority by winning seven of 10 class officers. The Pacachamacs and one dance manager from each the junior and sophomore classes.
In the college, District I, a Pachacamac representative, Sammy Siffers, c40, was the first to crash through with the P.R. victory quota of 96 votes and another Rising Sun man, 'Red Thompson,' c41, followed on his heels. Others elected from the College were: Milt Meier, c39, Bill Overton, c49, Irving Kuraner, c40, and Olver Edwards, c41, all of P.S.G.L. and David Whitney, c42, and Ray Zurbazel, c41 of Pachacamac.
District III, Engineering School and usually a Pachacamac strong-hold, failed to produce with the result that the League got two of the four offices. Edward Sheley, e40, commander of Rising Sun while Weaver McCaisn, e30, and Brewer Powers, e40, pulled through for the League.
The results in District I (Law, Medicine, and Graduate Schools) Schools) voting were as follows: Jim Postma, c39, and Lester Olmstead, gr. won the all-important posts for the P.S.G.L. and Edmund Page,'140 salvaged one office for the Rising Sun.
In District II (Fine Arts, Business,
Pharmacy, and Education Schools)
the winners were: Lee Henrichs, b'40,
and Harold Johnson, b'40, of P.S.G.L.; and Bruce Voran, b'40,
Emmet Park, b'40, of Phacaeacan.
In the class officers Pachacama swept over the League, winning all but three posts. Henry Schweller, b'40, Pachacama, defaced P.S.G.L Mac Wynne, c'40 for the presidency by a majority of 22 votes; and Eldreth Cadwalader, c'40 of Pachacama beat Bill Arnold, c'40 P.S.G.L. 293 votes to 186 for the treasurer's office.
The League came through in the junior class to have their candidate J Burdge, c'41, win on Manthy "Hunk" Hillmer, c'41, Pachacamac, 188 to 181. The treasure's job went to Roger Montgomery, c'41, Pachacamac, while a League candidate, James Fleming, c'41, and Rising Sun's John Laidig, c'41, won the dance manager positions.
in the sophomore class the winners were as follows; for the presi-
deminators, Fred Berhardt acasmac, defeated Fred Berhardt
