Graduates' Plans Vary; But Most to Seek Jobs
College graduates are in demand, salaries are higher than ever and opportunities are infinite.
For some KU seniors, of course, graduate school, military service, or marriage will solve the perennial problem of what do to after graduation. But for the majority, jobs are everywhere.
A MAJORITY of KU students use the job placement services of the schools and departments within the University. Placement procedures vary somewhat, but most:
cedures vary somewhat, but most heavy interviewing for pobs is done in mid-fall or mid-spring.
Few job-seekers find it necessary to pound the pavement in search of employment. Employers usually seek out the students.
Several hundred large businesses, firms, industries and other employers interview students on campus each year, and, according to Dana Stevens, director of the Business Placement Bureau, any qualified student who really wants a good job can get it.
in business: Most general business graduates will go into training programs with large firms, and will have a starting salary in the $450-550 range. Most expect a raise within the first year.
- In engineering: About one-third of the KU engineering graduates stay in the Midwest area, and another one-third stay within a radius of 500 miles. The average engineer's starting salary is $595 a month, but the range is from $525-$823.
- In journalism: New graduates are earning from $90-125 a week, but pay differences are not necessarily based on the size of the communications medium. Many journalism graduates seek their first jobs in Kansas.
- In the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences: Liberal arts graduates are in demand for a variety of jobs, and most salary offers start at approximately $400. For science majors who go into research or technical positions, the starting salary is higher.
- In Law: The largest number of law graduates prefer to go to large firms where they serve as associates from two to five years before becoming junior partners. Salaries for associates range from $450-550 a month. Some go into government work, and some into the peripheral areas such as banking, insurance, public accounting and others.
- In education: Teacher recruiting, too, is big business at KU, with more than 100 recruiters interviewing on campus last year, many from the coastal areas.
A beginning teacher with a bachelor's degree, including teachers who took jobs in many geographical areas, earned an average starting salary of $4902 for a 10-month teaching job. A teacher with the master's degree earned approximately $5150.

Belli's Words Draw Comment
DALLAS—(UPI) — Melvin Belli, defense attorney for Jack Ruby drew comment here today because of his statements yesterday to news media, made outside the court-house.
Ruby is charged with killing Lee Harvey Oswald, who was accused of assassinating President Kennedy.
Hugh D. Johnson, Dallas Bar Association president, said if Belli were a Texas lawyer he would be courting trouble for publicizing pending litigation.
Dallas Dist. Atty. Henry Wade, Ruby's prosecutor, said he was trying to abide by the "no publicity" rule of the Texas Bar Association "but it's most difficult when you have an opposing attorney who violates the canon daily."
Belli, in New York, charged that Dallas wanted to cleanse itself of blame in the assassination by giving Ruby a "fair trial" and sending him to the public slaughterhouse.
Belli was in New York to publicize a book he wrote. He took the opportunity to support his contention that Ruby's case should be moved from Dallas.
Belli, of San Francisco, said he would be in Dallas Saturday to start preparing for Monday's hearing before Criminal Judge Joe. B.Brown. The defense has called 170 witnesses in an attempt to have the trial moved.

FALLACY:
The thicker a diamond is, the more "fire" it captures.
FACT:
Thickness does not always mean brilliance or added value in a diamond. The stone's flawlessness, and especially the perfection of its cutting, creates the fiery interplay of light in the gem. A stone that is too thick can actually "leak" light and have a dull or "sleepy" cast.
CONCLUSION;
To be sure of choosing a diamond of true brilliance and fine cutting, let us show you our dazzling diamond collection.
