Employment Increases for Business Graduates
Recent reports indicate that 90 per cent of the 1933 School of Business graduates are now employed on full time in various lines of work. Many of the positions were obtained directly through contacts established by the Placement Bureau. In other cases work was secured only when the method method-required. A few students had ready-made jobs awaiting them immediately after graduation.
Reports Show 90 Per Cent of Last Year's Class Have Jobs
In general, the employment situation for School of Business graduates was much better this year than last. Part of the improvement is apparently due to the increase in business personnel under the NRA codes and the re-employment agreement.
Owing to the reduction in the staff and the increased enrollment in the School of Business, the Business Placement bureau will be operated this year through Dean Stockton's office. The placement work of the first semester will be directed primarily toward obtaining employment for those who will receive degrees next February. Each semester will require assistance of the bureau will be asked to submit data for a personal report and to supply several recent pictures.
Members of the School of Business staff will spend time on field trips this year for the purpose of contacting business executives. Visits will be made at manufacturing concerns, sales branches, retail establishments, financial houses, insurance companies, public utility offices and other types of organizations.

Men's Council to Vote Tonight on Recommendation From Activity Committee
The W.S.G.A. passed the resolution last night, and it will be submitted to the Men's Student Council at that group's regular meeting tonight.
A resolution appropriating $100 to help defy the expenses of the Band's trip to Nebraska from the Student Activity Fee reserve fund was drafted yesterday afternoon by the central administrative committee of the Activity ticket, and submitted to the two councils for approval.
The remainder of the money necessary will be raised by seeking personal contributions from those planning to attend the game. Fred Elsworth, alumni secretary, who will be in charge of obtaining the contributions, said today that further solicitations would be made among the alumni.
If the resolution is passed, a total of $218 will have been collected of the $260 necessary to pay the train fare of 65 members of the band for the trip this weekend. The executive committee voted $100 from the Athletic association fund, and the members personally contributed $18.
Kansas City and Topoeka alumni have already contributed money for the purchase of the new drum major's uniforms, and for that reason are particularly anxious to have the band make the trip.
The complete text of the resolution which was passed by the W.S.G.A, and which will be submitted to the Men's council tonight;
Be it resolved by the Women's Self-
Government Association and the Associated Men of the University of Kan-
bas.
