Refreshments were served at the close of the meeting. Juveniles charged with vandalism Examine any job offer very carefully this year before rejecting it, June college graduates are advised by the director of career planning and placement at Oregon State University. The economic outlook and the employment picture are "both so fuzzy and fast changing," says Louis L. Edwards, that fewer grad uates will have "multiple offers from which to choose this year." But college graduates do have an advantage in the job market, Edwards emphasiz ed. "They're prime prospects for the jobs available." At the moment, employers are being cautious, waiting to see if an economic upturn materializes, Edwards added. "If we turn the corner economically, there'll be a sudden splurge of new hiring and 1975 graduates will find a reasonably good demand." "Salaries certainly are up from last year," Edwards noted. "In some fields, such as engineering, starting pay is dramatically higher, ranging from about $1,000 a month to $1,350 this year." Graduates in applied sci ence fields that relate to food producing and processing and to energy development have brightest job possibilities this spring, according to Edwards. These include food scientists, geologists, engineers, soil sci entists, forest engineers, ani mal scientists, etc. Teaching is very much a "wait and see" field this spring, according to the job placement leader.
