PAGE SEVEN JOB EQUIPMENT OF GRADUATES : RATEDBETTER Yale Study Club Shows New Self-Appraisement Among Students in Universities Placement Aid Given By William Clark United Press Staff Correspondent ' NEW HAVEN. Conn. (UP) When colleges throughout the country pour thousands of graduates Into the bus iness world this year most of them will be equipped to adjust themselves readily to prevailing economic con ditions That Is the belief of Albert Beech er Crawford, whose Job as head of . Yale's personnel study and bureau of appointments. Is to help students "find themselves" while at college and place graduates In lines of bus iness to which they are best suited. Beforo the depression, Crawford said, 'students adopted a somewhat free attitude about their living fol lowing graduation, for they knew that Jobs were available." Students More critical However, when the slump came and the number of jobless ran into the millions. Crawford found that under graduates "assumed a more critical point of view toward themselves and toward the tnlngs that they were fit ted for. In all, they seemed to think a lot more seriously about equipping themselves to meet present situations than a few years ago. Publicity given to the derth of Jobs for equipped men caused them to take more time to analyze themselves and the business world." What have colleges done to fortify students against hard times? Crawford, as a general Illustration, explained Yale's experiences. "There Is a direct effort on the part of the college to find Jobs for graduating student and to encour age students to analyze themselves to learn Just what they would be best fitted to apply for. A placement service has grown considerably dur ing the past few years and has borne considerable fruit. This year the out look for placement work Is not as bright as It waa in 1937, which was boom year with more placements than any other time recorded. East, Midwest Lead "However, there are more Jobs avail able now than in the years from 1933 to 1936. Calls for men come from all parte of the country, but mostly from the east and middle west. The ma jority are in manufacturing or pro ductive lines. "Financial calls are quite scarce, only a few of the larger eastern banking houses seem to be looking for men. And Wall Street, once the haven for hundreds of college men, la about dead. "However, If things pick up within the next few months we will most likely receive many more requests for i graduate from all fields." And, aa an encouraging note, he added, "at present a good many firms notify us that they are in need of new help but are waiting for an up swing In business conditions before adding to their staffs." The problem of adjusting students to particular pursuits to which they are best fitted, Crawford found, was easily overcome. During the summer vacation periods they were given "try out" Jobs. Usually, before graduation, the student had a definite idea of his aptitude and registered with the placement bureau which contacted business firms and industries to so licit situations. More Technical -lobs Crawford's assistant, Prof. Stuart H. Clement, explained that "more Jobs the being offered to technically trained than to non-technical men. This has been true for the past few years. At present 365 of the seniors are enrolled as applicants In the per sonnel bureau, for Job when they graduate. This represents about half of the senior classes of Yale's three schools." Colleges offering vocational courses, Crawford and Clement agreed, prob ably would obtain better results In obtaining employment for their grad uates In view of the increasing de mand for technical men. Yale, they said, "Is distinctly a cul tural center and except for the. Shef field scientific school there are no vocational courses given which might equip graduates for special Jobs.1' ; 4 , Correction.

SHOWING CURVES ON BETTER 'WEI Enough Food Now, Such As It Is, for Everyone Mil- - lions. Are Drafted Into Forced Labor by Police By RICHARH O. MASSOCK MOSCOW (Correspondence of the Associated Press) Old timers In Moscow remark that every year the scantlly-clad girls in the physical culture parades display more curves. Famine stalked the land five years ago. when the peasants were being gathered Into collective farms. But now Russians are eating again, and enougb. There seems enough food, such as It Is. for everyone. The peasant gets along on black bread and cabbage. In the cities, there are temporary shortages of butter, eggs and meat, it is true, but they are lacking only for short periods. Some days the housewife finds only beef in the markets; other days only pork. Still other days there Is nothing but mutton. Usually she must stand In line but rarely does she return home empty handed. Eat More Butter Officials say Russians eat three times more butter than they did five years ago, when It was virtually unobtainable, according to persons in Moscow then. Consumption ol other products has risen at about the same rate since the famine years. The "right to work" is promised the soviet citizen under the Stalin constitution. Work and food appear to be the main concerns of the Rus sian. The workman, so long as he be haves. Rets along. But If he becomes discontented because he Is driven by his bosses or because his pay Is not forthcoming on time, he auns Into difficulties. Without approval of the factory manager endorsed on his passport. the workman who quits his Job Is supposed to have a hard time find ing another. Actually, reports indi cate, many workmen change Jobs often and find new employment. Vacancies are numerous enough, what with a big armament program that has arms factories operating full blast, the backwardness in production of most commodities and the purges that draft thousands Into forced la bor camps of the state police. Make Millions Work Foreign observers estimate millions of Russians are cutting timber, dig ging coal, bulldtng roads or digging canals for the secret political police, perhaps the largest single employer of labor In the Soviet union. Many In Russia, as elsewhere, ap pear to be averse to hard work for a pittance. Some take advantage of the shortage of consumers' goods and Indulge In what the Soviet authori ties call speculation buying and re selling. The penalty for that may be forced labor or Imprisonment. The newspapers indicate that many run the risk. Hundreds of arrests have been reported In the press recently on charges of buying up cloth, shoes and other wares to be resold at a profit. Indicative of the extent of this petty trading la the police practice, until recently at least, of question ing provincial travelers at the Mos cow railroad stations as to their pur chase in the city. OILING OF STREETS STARTS IN 1 0 DAYS I Annual spreading of dust-lay oil on unpaved city streets will com mence In the next 10 days, and all persons desiring streets In front of their homes to be oiled ere requested to make deposit at the city super intendent's office. Price for the oil is 5 for a strip 10 feet wide and 100 feet long. Laying of the oil Is done by county equipment and takes about three days. All persons wanting the oil are requested to make their intentions known Immediately, as the work la done only once a year. yesterday and fishermen reported large catches. Managers of East, Paul ina and Buttle lake resorts, among the principal ones In Oregon, said all available apace and boats had been reserved for Memorial day.
