textbooks, and they offered the
following suggestions:
1. Each student should write his
name in ink in every textbook
which he receives.
2. Losses, together with the
loser's name and address and the
name of the books lost, should be
reported immediately to all bookstores
in the city.
3. Bookstores in the future will
require identification from all persons
who attempt to sell books
in those stores. All persons attempting
to sell books other than
their own will be reported.
4. Above all, each student
should be careful not to leave
his books lying around in places
where they invite theft.

Job Prospectus Is Clouded
The 1950 June graduates are expected
to be members of the largest graduating
class in the history of United States collegiate
education. The total number of
graduates this spring is expected to pass
the half million mark, which will break
last year's record of 422,000.
Because of the very size of the class
graduating in June, competition for jobs
will become even more intense than at the
present. Furthermore, it is likely that there
will be fewer job openings for new college
graduates this year than there have
been in the past two years.
The job prospectus for college graduates
is clouded by the large number of
graduates who will be seeking jobs; an increase
in the number of unemployed, and
the rapid filling of war-created shortage in
specialized fields for college graduates.
These three factors are the major reasons
for job shortages. However, in some localities
and in some fields of occupation there
will be an abundance of jobs. Still the
fact remains that this year's graduate will
have to work longer and harder for the
job he desires.
Because of this somewhat crucial period
in the initial employment of college graduates,
graduating students should obtain as
many substantial fact's as possible about
individual opportunities. To provide such
informaton for the Class of '50, The Plainsman
is beginning on the editorial page in
this issue a series of artcles prepared by
the U.S- Department of Labor on the job
outlook for 1950 graduates.
The college graduate should supplement
the abbreviated national picture with
more detailed information from the campus
placement and guidance bureaus as
well as local offices of state employment
which are -affiliated with the Labor Department's
United States Employment
Service. The student should also consult
his dean as soon as possible. These services
can give the graduate a fairly accurate
analysis of his own individual case.
Since the shortage of work for the 1950
college graduate is quite evident at the
present, The Plainsman advises all graduates
to study carefully the reports of the
Labor Department and to seek all information
possible in regards to employment in
their own fields.
New Officials Have A Challenge
Despite the fact that only four positions
in last week's student government election
had competition, the number of voters
participating in the balloting was a sign of
increased interest. Over 2100 students cast
ballots in the election, which had the
publication election as an added attraction.
Although this is only one-third of the
present enrollment, it is a note-worthy increase
in comparison with student participation
in recent years. In the early postwar
elections, as little as 10 per cent of the
student body voted. With 19 candidates
unopposed, last week's election offered
little voter interest except for the four
Cabinet posts and the Glomerata and
Plainsman officials.
The Plainsman takes this opportunity
to offer congratulations to the new student
leaders for the coming year. They have
placed in their hands the tools for the
molding of a strong, democratic spirit on
the Auburn campus. The challenge which
lies before these leaders is great.
Theirs is the job of building Auburn
into an even more desirable institution—
an institution which will produce the future
leaders of the country. If they meet
the challenge squarely in their actions
next year, Auburn will be able to continue
to march to the front as a leader
among the nation's great universities. If
they fail to meet their responsibilites, Auburn
will fail as an institution.
All student leaders should work toward
the goal of making Auburn a progressive,
democratic institution. With this goal in
mind, the school year 1950-51 can be a
bright spot in the history of Auburn.
Fraternity Pranks Can Be Dangerous
• Fraternities at Auburn are known for
their ability to live harmoniously, to compete
on a friendly basis, and to cooperate
strongly for mutual gain. Most fraternity
men here are proud of this reputation and
seek to maintain good interfraternity relations.
This does not imply that Greeks are
not wholly and sincerely loyal to their
own organizations; however, in their loyalty,
they recognize the existence of other
fraternities and also their right to exist.
At many campuses, Greek wars are
constantly raging. There are conflicts between
two lodges, and often the entire
group of fraternities is split into sides.
At campuses where such strife exists,
fraternity men seem to have the idea that
lodge superiority is established through
ability to capture objects valued by rival
groups, to create damage by fireworks to
house and grounds and by similar forms
of battle. Of course, nothing is solved, but
undesirable rivalry too often occurs.
Auburn Loses A Fine Leader
Auburn was shocked Monday to learn
of the death of Dean Martin, well known
head of the School of Chemistry. Leaving
a place in the school that will be hard to
fill, Dean Martin passed away unexpectedly
Sunday night.
Becoming the sixth dean of the school
of chemistry, Dean Martin was appointed
to the position less than two years ago after
serving several years as acting dean. During
the 34 years he taught at Auburn,
Although actions such as these are not
prevalent at Auburn, occasional incidents
do spring up. The most recent was the
mass painting of fraternity houses by unknown
agents last Friday night. The
amount of damage wasn't great enough to
cause much concern, but it is quite conceivable
that just as minor an occurence
could incite serious trouble under certain
circumstances.
If the identities of the pranksters be
learned, the desire for revenge or for "not
being outdone" might result in retaliation
and hence in strained relations.
It is fortunate that the painting incident
was only the cause of some discussion
and a little column cleaning, and did not
stir up other impulsive pranks. In hopes
that no damaging action be done in the future,
we urge that fraternities confine
rivalries to sports, scholarship, and campus
events, but continue to live accordantly.
Dean Martin exhibited a genuine interest
in the students and student activities on the
campus, and his presence will be missed
by friends and fellow-workers.
Dean Martin also took an active part
in religious and civic groups in the city
and was a member of the old city council
of Auburn.
With the passing of Dean Martin, Auburn
loses a true leader in the field of
higher education.

ANO AFTER I TOt-O Mll-I THIS WAS
WHERE OWE G-ETS PATENTS
H£ HAH OEO M E THAT PIECE OF
PAPER WITH THE A L P H A B E T ON
• T /
Ad Libbing By Graham McTeer
Popular music versus classical—that has been a topic of discussion,
argument, and debate for a number of years, but
nothing conclusive has ever been agreed upon. Some persons
ardently support classical and denounce popular, others are
enthusiastic only about popular and shun classical, and a few
recognize the merits of each.
McTeer
However, if the offerings of
local juke boxes and radio stations
are any
gauge of popular
musical tastes
today, the
classics are apt
to take over
completely.
A recent sur-v
e y of A u burn's
musical
c o i n - e a t e r s
s h o w e d
numerous re-c
o r d i n gs by
Guy Lombardo, Sammy Kaye,
Eddie Gin Miller, and the Ink
Spots, but only one each by Kru-pa
and King Cole. Organ, harmonica,
and accordian melodies
are plentiful, but bop and other
modern musical modes are slighted
greatly.
The record selector for the
Seeburg Company obviously favors
solos by Arthur Godfrey and
Frankie Laine and insipid duets
by male and female.
The situation is all too similar on
local disc shows. Nat Brandwyne,
Lawrence Welk, and other bouncy
blueboys plague the airplanes.
You can't tune in without hearing
"Music, Music, Music," "Go
To Sleep," "Silver Dollar," "Candy
and Cake," and equally sub-par
ditties.
Kenton, Les Brown, Herman,
and Thornhill platters seem to be
extinct. They're not requested,
and they aren't played.
Perhaps the present prominence
of poor popular pressings
portrays a prevailing trend. If so,
there's not much use crusading
for first-class music; it's next to
imposible to influence public
tastes. I'll just buy a record-player
of my own and pull a boycott.
ALL THE SAME
A new low in entertainment
was reached in Auburn Friday
when both local theaters presented
Bud Abbott and Lou Costello
in two different films. The desire
to be different was clearly demonstrated
by the marquees of the
two movies, however.
The Tiger, quite personal, advertised
the slapstickers as "Bud
and Lou," while the War Eagle,
politely formal, billed "Abbott
and Costello."
It didn't niake much difference,
however. Our critic reported that
he left one show in the middle,
caught the second half of the
other and completely forgot that
he had transferred.

'TEMPORARY'?
About a year ago, a local KOTC
custom was cut short, when the
concrete railing around the Quadrangle
fish pool collapsed under
the weight of students observing
the dunking of newly-commissioned
officers. A temporary
wooden railing was soon installed
to afford some protection, but it
appears that the construction,
like so many others termed
"temporary" on campus, is here
to stay.
With three major buildings under
construction at present,
couldn't a little effort be expended
toward replacing a small but
important item before another
year elapses?

A salesmanship instructor once
told this story after lecturing on
the "You want it, we got it,"
principal:
A clerk in a department store
was serving a customer. The manager
was strolling through the
aisle and overheard the clerk say,
"No, madam, we haven't had any
for a long time."
"Oh, yes, we have," interrupted
the manager. "I'll send to the
warehouse immediately and have
some brought over for you." #
The lady looked startled, then
burst out laughing and walked
out of the store. The manager
reprimanded the clerk. "Never
refuse anything; always send out
for it."
"Well, you see," replied the
clerk. "She said to me, 'We haven't
had any rain lately."'
Crafty Otto Skorzeny, the giant
SS operator who rescued Mussolini
from captivity, is the object
of widespread police searches all
over Europe.
The most picturesque of Adolph
Hitler's gang of conniving Nazis,
Skorzeny stands 6'-4" and is
built like a professional fighter.
It is said that he was a brutal
devil. The story circulates that he
once killed two men by beating
their heads together.
In 1943, after the collapse of
Italy, Mussolini was held prisoner
by the Italian government at
a mountain resort. Hitler sent for
Skorzeny, an officer of the crack
Elite Guard Paratroops.
"Take your men and rescue
Mussolini," Hitler commanded.
The huge SS leader and a group
of heavily-armed troops were
dropped from German aircraft,
descended upon the Mussolini
hideout in a surprise attack, and
accomplished their m i s s i on
smoothly.
After returning the Italian dictator
to Gjermany, Skorzeny was
given a high decoration and promoted
to the rank of colonel.
Remember the story of the SS
troops who penetrated the Ameri-
Cannon Report
By Tom Cannon
can lines during the Battle of the
Bulge? Skorzeny was in command
of those troops.
After the German surrender he
was arrested and turned over to
the German authorities later for
prosecution as a Nazi.
While in jail awaiting trial a
year ago, Skorzeny was visited by
Germans dressed like American
officers. They claimed he was
wanted by the American military
authorities. Skorzeny was turned
over to the fake Americans, and
has since been at large.
Since his escape he has found
time to write his memoirs and has
offered them to the world for
publication.
The Skorzeny story is an interesting
one, but what is equally
as intriguing is why some American
politician such as Sen. Joseph
McCarthy hasn't made an issue
of his escape method. His cries of
communism have brought men to
Washington from ' aS far away
places as Afghanistan. Perhaps
Mr. McCarthy could solve the
whole problem by branding Skorzeny
a communist, thus bringing
him out of hiding and to Washington
where he could be nabbed
by the FBI.
Generally Speaking By Bruce Greenhill
Those malicious Michaelange-loes,
the paint-pranksters, were
active again this week end. Early
Saturday, these juvenile joke-sters
proceeded to paint fraternity
letters on sidewalks, spread paint
on porch-columns and just generally
paint the town's fraternity
houses.
Different letters were painted
in front of each chapter house and
the whole caper
was obviously
the work
(or w o u l d
' ' foolishness ''
be a b e t t e r
word?) of the
same group of
persons. The
1 l e t t e r i n g
| i | was all done in
|§§ the same style
* and the colors
Greenhill of paint were
the same.
Yep, whoever they are, these infants
did spread a lot a paint but
just out of curiosity, I'd like to
know just what they accomplished.
Sure, the various pledge
groups had to go to some trouble
to clean up the mess, but it seems
to me that that would give any
normal person darn little satisfaction
in return for what must
have been at least two hours'
work.
When you boil it right down,
the deal was a flop—it went over
like a sweatshirt at a soiree. These
boors with a penchant for paint
just wasted their time.
Now for another question, why
did they do it? One answer is
that they did it just for a joke on
the local Greeks, but that assumption
is most uncomplimentary if
true, because their joke as such
was a dud. The only rational explanation
is that the troops behind
the deal were trying to
start a fraternity war—one like
the fight at the University last
year that began with firecrackers
and ended with firearms.
However, if they were trying to
incite a paint war, they outsmarted
themselves. They fouled
up when they hit every chapter
rather than a select few. By
painting full-scale, they made it
obvious that no one chapter (since
different leters were painted at
each house) could be blamed for
it and become the target for retaliation.
These paintings have happened
before, especially in 1947 and
early 1948, when groups (smarter
than the present jerks) would
paint maybe two houses and
leave the same initials on both.
This brought about measures for
retaliation by the victims and
small paint wars did spring up.
However, the more level-headed
members of the various chapters,
seeing that if these things kept
up, all the houses would be
wrecked, got together and agreed
to stop retaliating and break the
endless circle of forays. This took
the sting out of the painting
bee and things settled down.
Since then fraternity relations
have been above question. Little
paintings and damage expeditions
may have taken place at widely
scattered times but have always
been dampened by the fact that
the victims have used their energies
to clean up the mess rather
than to make another.
It is to be hoped that this cool-headedness
will continue to prevail
should more incidents occur—
better planned raids wherein the
damage is made to look like the
work of a particular chapter.
Fraternities could ruin each other
if they so chose, but it has proven
much more reasonable to merely
show the painters just how futile
their labor really is. Let's
hope the Greeks continue to hold'
this sensible view.
Cannon
"In what may be termed in future
history books an age of socialism
and communism, there is
a definite trend in this country to
'Let Washington do it!' It is nigh
impossible to discern whether the
cause for disinterest in government
is based on ignorance or a
growing self-centeredness within
each individual and his own
sphere of activities."
The a b o ve
paragraph appeared
in a recent
issue of
the Mississippi
State Reflec-t
o r . T he
amount of interest
shown in
t h e r e c e nt
campus elections
here and
in state-wide
campaigns indicates
that this attitude is prevalent
on the Auburn campus.
"A prominent Alabama statesman
recently stated the 'Dixiecrat-ism'
is dead in Alabama," said the
Reflector. "Perhaps it is. But perhaps
also the fault lies within
the people and not the cause for
which 'Dixiecratism' stands.
"The current University of Alabama
student election found 30 to
33 offices with candidates unopposed.
At Auburn 19 of the 28
candidates were without competition.
If the younger generation is
indicative of the interest which
the people of Alabama, take in
representative government then
not only is 'Dixiecratism' dead but
Alabama itself is dead."
While we may not like this pa- -
rallel, we must admit that it is
partially true. We have long considered
Mississippi less progressive
than we, yet today Mississippi
is taking forward steps in all
directions while Alabama is somewhat
stalemated. The major reason
for this improvement seems
to be the tremendous increase in
public interest in government and
improvement.
The Mississippi paper compared
office holders to a football team,
there is usually a great difference
in the performance of a team
when it is playing before a cheering,
spirited, throng and when it
is before a cold, indifferent crowd.
People in office react the same
way.
The trend in college has to be
taken as some kind of an indicator
of what future college graduates
may do when they become
the voters of approaching years.
We are the ones who should take
the greatest interest in government.
We should lead the way,
but it looks as if we are not even
going to follow? If college students
of Alabama do not become aware
of their responsibilities in public
affairs, we may well feel concern
for the future of our state.
More and More by Gene Moore
Fish have been swimming
around in the waters of Earth for
quite a spell; they have been here
longer than have soft-nosed bullets,
artichoke cream surprise, and
shorts with gripper fastners.
Throughout the ages, men have
been fishing for fish. And catching
fish. And scaling fish. And
throughout all the ages of Fish
and of Man, there has existed a
question of increasing economic
importance: to wit, what is to be
done with all the second-hand
fish scales?
Historians have left little evidence
as to what was done with
fish scales in the good ole pre-
Atomic Age days, but it's a cinch
that they were not allowed to
accumulate behind the gramophone
or in Grandpa's kepi; they
were probably t h r o w n out.
If so, in disposing of them in this
careless way, the persons responsible
not only wasted a valuable
natural resource, but also
they brutally and thoughtlessly
did away with what had once
been the fish's pride, joy, and
covering. Fish have feelings, loo,
you know.
Consultation with those in the
"know" about things (the list of
consultees includes such notables
as the head fish-sealer at the
Wisteria Fish Market, Tarpon
Springs, Florida; the night watchman
at the Winnipeg Aquariums,
.and two live oysters from
Charleston) has brought forth a
number of priceless suggestions
as to how fish scales may best
be utilized.
Among the best recommendations
recommended was one
which recommended the following
recommendation: if perforated
and dyed, fish scales could be
used as sequins on formal evening
dresses. Picture a lush tea in
N'Yawk; a plump old dowager
plods up and says something to
the effect that oh, my deah, what
a luvvaly gown you're wearing.
Then you shrug one or both of
your shoulders and giggle, "What?
This old rag? I caught it myself.
You should've seen the oqp that
got away."
Fish scales, as compared with
soft-boiled eggs and chunks of
lead, rrtake a bully stuffing for
pillows. If you find that you suffer
from insomnia when you first
try your new pillow, don't be
discouraged . . . bury your head
in the cushion, inhale deeply
thrice, and you'll be asleep like
a light.
Information smuggled f r om
Helsingfors reveals that the Russians
are now using fish scales in
the production of a fuel for airplanes.
Details may not be made
public at present, but the basic
principle of manufacture is this:
to 100 gallons of a high-octane
gasoline are added three mothballs,
a dram of castor oil, and a
pound of clean, dry, unleavened
fish scales. According to the famed
"authoritative source," if the

Job Outlook
For '50 Graduates
Prepared By
U.S. Department of Labor
With about 500,000 college students
graduating this year—the
largest "number in our country's
history—the job outlook for the
new college graduates is generally
. good. It is not, however, as good
as in 1947 and 1948.
The outlook is clouded by three
factors: the large number of graduates
who will be seeking jobs;
a moderate increase in the total
number of unemployed persons;
and the filling of war-created
shortages of college graduates in
some specialized fields by the
large graduating classes of 1948
and 1949.
Basically, the economy of the
country is strong and there is a
general concensus that production
and employment will remain high
during 1950. However, the big
problem facing the economy is
that of constantly providing more
goods and services and utilizing
fully a labor force that is growing
at the rate of 600,000 to 700,-
000 workers a year. Even if employment
continues during 1950
at about the same level as last
year, as it is expected to do, unemployment
will increase and jobs
will be harder to find.
Graduates seeking information
on expanding industries or sections
of the country need to remember
this basic fact: most of
the jobs taken by this year's college
graduates will be, as usual,
those which have been vacated by
other workers. Deaths and retirements
at the top of the occupa-ti6nal
ladder create the largest
number of openings at "the bottom.
It follows that most of the
openings will occur in the large
industries and the areas where

Tiger Tracksters Journey To Capstone
For Annual Meet With Crimson Tide
Coach Wilbur Hutsell's cindermen journey to Tuscaloosa
this Saturday for a dual meet with Coach Tom Lieb's 'Bama
track aggregation. The Tigers in their bid to keep alive the
string of dual wins will face the strongest Tide team in many
a year.
<
The Capstoners boast a well-balanced
squad determined to secure
a win from an Auburn varsity
team. Marvin Cichowski looms
as the big gun in the Lieb arsenal.
The speedster copped three
firsts in 'Bama's dual meet win over
Tennessee last week and broke
two campus records in the process.
He posted a time of 9.6 in the 100;
21.6 in the 220-yard dash; and
came within 1/10 second of breaking
another with a time of 23.5
n the 220-yard low hurdles.
Carl Shields also set a new record
in the meet with a shot put
effort of 51 feet, 3 inches. Another
'Bama field ace, Harold Beau-champ,
who heaved the javelin
204 feet in the Southern Relays,
was outdistanced by Tennessee's
Stroud, but the Capstone field
artist can be cpunted upon for a
greater effort against the Tigers.
Tigers Work Hard
The Plainsmen have been pointing
for the 'Bama meet and the
concensus is that this is to be
the toughest dual meet of the
season.
Auburn hopes will ride on the
swift legs of Walker, Wood, and
Davis in the dashes; Flournoy,
Bryant, and Beasley in the quarter-
mile; Mitchell and Flournoy
in the 880; Mitchell, Steele and
Overton in the mile; DeMedicis
and Acree in the low hurdles; DeMedicis
and Horton in the high
hurdles.
Ryckeley and Luck in the shot
put; Bailey and Bauer in the discus;
Talmadge and Hogarth in the
javelin; Stookey in the broad
jump; DeMedicis and Jones in the
high jump:, and Parks and Cham-bless
in the pole vault.
Tiger captain, Whitey Overton,
may double in the mile and two-mile
runs Saturday. The Olympic
ace has twice bettered the existing
SEC record for the two-mile
event and is a consistent mile
winner.
The freshman squads will stage
a meet along with the varsity
thinly-clads. Last year the Capstone
frosh shellacked the Baby
Tigers but the Auburnites boast
a stronger team this year and
hope to secure a double-win this
Saturday.

Tigers Split Series
Weft Georgia Tech
Auburn won its first conference
baseball game of the year Friday,
beating the Georgia Tech Yellow
Jackets, 9-5. However, seventeen
hits the following day weren't
enough to give the Tigers a second
win, as they bowed, 9-8.
Bill Letchworth went the distance
Friday to give the Jackets
only five hits. The big righthander
fanned 10 batters in gaining his
second win; of the year. The win
gave Letchworth a 2-2 record.
Auburn jumped on Tech's Bud
Sineway and; Bill Marchetti for
13 hits. Shortstop Harvey Camp
led the plate parade with three
hits in five appearances at bat.
The Tigers clinched the game in
the eighth when they scored four
runs off- three hits, a walk, and
one Tech miscue.
A disastrous seventh inning in
which five Jackets crossed the
plate gave Tech the second game
and a split in the two-game set.
Catcher Jim Bossons slammed the
decisive blow when he drove reliefer
George Hill's first pitch for
a triple against the right-center-field
fence, scoring three base-runners.
Auburn rallied for two runs in
the ninth but fell, one- run short
when they left runners stranded
on second and third. In all, the
Tigers left 12 men on base.

Tiger Nine Plays Opelika Tonight;
To Invade Athens For Two Games
By Bill McArdle
The Auburn baseball team goes
to Athens, Ga., this week end to
play two games with the Bulldogs.
The Dogs took two games
from Auburn here earlier in the
year.
With excellent hitting and average
pitching, the Auburn nine is
trying to determine why they
have been able to win only five
of eleven games the team has
played this season.
The Tigers will prep for the
Athenians when they play Opelika
tonight at 7:30. Auburn beat
the Owls, 8-4, last Wednesday
night. George Hill will be the pro-b
a b 1 e starter tonight, though
Coach Johnny Williamson is likely
to split the mound chores among
several of his reliefers. Hill was
the winning pitcher against the
Owls in the teams' first meeting.
For the Bulldog set, Wiliamson
is expected to use the Letchworth-
Hoehle combination. Letchworth
was superb in his performance
against Tech while Hoehle had
periods of effectiveness that might
prove that he is now rounding into
his '49 form. George Hill appears
to be ready for conference
duty now and could be a last minute
choice for one of the Georgia
games.
The Tigers go against the Georgians
with a conference record of
one win and five losses, and will
be in dire need of a series sweep
if they expect to be contenders
in the S.E.C. flag race.

Cinder Team Defeats Georgia, 88-38;
Overton, Mitchell, Walker, Wood Shine
By Stuart Stephenson, Jr.
Auburn pranced to its second dual meet victory Saturday
in Cliff Hare Stadium with an 88-38 win over Georgia.
Coach Wilbur Hutsell's Tigers copped firsts in 11 of 14
events in a meet characterized by fast times. The Bulldogs
held sway in the 220- and 440-yard runs and in the high jump.
Captain Whitey Overton found
competition only from the stopwatch
as he chalked up a new
stadium record for the two-mile
run. Clocked in 9:31.2 minutes,
Overton bettered the existing SEC
two-mile record by 3.9 seconds as
DISCUS TOSSERS
Auburn's d i s c u s throwers
really go all out in their practice
sessions. Freshman Jim
C l a r k , from Birmingham's
Woodlawn High, may well plug
for the addition of "accuracy
throws" in the discus event. He
knocked a pigeon off its perch
on a goal post from a 60-foot
distance.
"Foots" Bauer quipped that
"they may as well add another
—height—thus Auburn would
have ready entrants: Dillon,
distance; Clark, accuracy; and
Bauer, height."
9:36.0 in 1937). This is not Overton's
best time for the two-mile
test. Last year, at the Nationals
in Los Angeles, he recorded 9:21.5.
Sutton Surprise Star
A new star for SEC cinders
looms big in the presence of Georgia's
Bob Sutton. The long-legged,
well-proportioned speedster
provided top thrills as he stretched
to win over Dickie Flournoy in
the 440-yard run. He trailed the
smooth-gaited Auburn star around
the bend, broke into a dead heat
for fifty yards, and then inched
ahead for a well-Jdeserved win.
Auburn's sprint trio of Walker,
Wood, and Davis finished in that
order in the 100-yard dash, but
was outdone in the 220 as Sutton's
long legs carried him to victory in
this event. Walker's time for the
100 was 9.8 and Sutton broke the
tape at 21.2 in the 220.
Close races resulted in the hurdles
and in the half-mile run
where Jimmy Mitchell outran
he lapped every opponent except
team-mate Tommy Steele. (Chick
Aldridge of Georgia Tech set the I Dickie Flournoy, the conference
previous record with a time of I champion.

fish scales are removed immediately
they will not appreciably
lower the burning capacity of the
fuel, and it may still be used to
propel aircraft.
An essence of ground fish scales
has been used with a certain air
of success as a perfume base.
Your correspondent, however,
does not advocate the use of such
a perfume, unless the wearer is
fond of cats.
These are but a few suggestions,
and there are probably one or two
more around somewhere. But the
important thing to remember is
that it doesn't matter how you use
the scaled scales which are always
left over after a mass fish-cleaning,
just as long as you use
them for something. Conservation
must be stressed in this day
of failing natural resources.
Incidentally, there is practically
an open field in that branch of
manufacturing which deals with
the formation of big fish scales
from little ones. Here's an unparalleled
opportunity for a graduating
senior to go into large-scale
manufacturing! .
(Continued from page 4)
there are now the heaviest concentrations
of employment.
Employment in certain parts of
the country is growing more rapidly
than in others in the long-run.
This is true on the West
Coast, the South Atlantic region
and Texas. However, the supply
of workers in some of these areas
—the West Coast for example—
has increased more rapidly than
job opportunities. Moreover, in
rural areas of the country, generally
the need for workers in some
of the professional fields is greater
than in cities.
For many college graduates of
the class of 1950, the fact that
American industry is in a period
of intense competition for markets
will be the major reason for
success in finding employment.
Industry responds to competition
by pushing advertising and sales
efforts and by cutting production
costs, streamlining operations, replacing
obsolete equipment, and
redesigning products and plants.
General observations about conditions
in the job market tend to
hide widely varying situations.
Prospects are excellent in some
occupations, industries, and areas.
In others, where wartime and
postwar shortages have now been
filled, many graduates will find
it difficult to get jobs.
In teaching, for example, there
is at once an acute shortage of
personnel in t h e elementary
schools and a growing oversup-ply
at the high school level. For
the current school year, only one
elementary teacher was trained
for every three who were needed.
Oil the other hand, four times as
many students completed training
for high school teaching as were
required.
Other professional fields in
which stiff competition for jobs is
expected in the next few years
include: law, journalism, arid personnel
work. In engineering, the
number of graduates will exceed
the number of openings in the
early 1950's; after the next 4 or
5 years, the employment situation
for new graduates is likely to improve
in this rapidly growing profession.
In chemistry, competition
will be keen during the next few
years among persons without
graduate training; the outlook is
better for those with graduate degrees.
There will probably also be an
oversupply of business administration
graduates. A surplus of
new graduates has already developed
in the field of accounting.
Liberal arts graduates with
work experience or specialized
training will find it easier to get
jobs than those with only- a general
undergraduate education.
Prospects for new entrants are
good in health service occupations.
There is a current shortage of
nurses, and demand for nursing
service will continue to rise. In
medicine and dentistry those able
to enter and complete training
will have good opportunities; however,
competition is very keen for
admission to professional schools.
In pharmacy the,supply of new
graduates has almost caught up
with the demand; the profession
may be overcrowded in the long-run
if enrollments in pharmacy
colleges continue at present high
levels.
Good opportunities are expected
also for other occupational
groups important in health service,
such as veterinarians, medical
X-Ray technicians, medical
laboratory technicians, dental hy-gienists,
physical therapists, occupation
therapists and dietitians
The picture facing this year's
graduates is a mixed one. Business
conditions as a whole are
continuing good. In spite of this
high level of business activity, the
growing labor force and growing
productivity may well result in
high levels of unemployment.
Some occupations are oversup-plied
with graduates, and the competition
will be intense for the
available jobs. Other fields have
a demand for jobs which will far
outweight the available supply of
trained people to fill those jobs.
First of all, they would be well
advised to explore the possibilities
of entering any fields closely allied
to their field of primary interest,
where there may be more
openings. They should also explore
the possibility of graduate
training to equip themselves with
i more specialized skills.
Later articles in this series will
give more information on the outlook
in a number of these fields.

We tobacco farmers know that when tobaccos smell
milder they smoke milder. That's how smokers can know
that the mild, ripe tobaccos Chesterfield buys from me
and hundreds of other farmers will taste better, smoke
cooler and much milder.
That's why I've smoked Chesterfield for 15 years.
