53rd Year MEDFORD Price 10 Cents Tribune 2nd SECTION MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY. 15, 1958 Pages 1-8 College Graduates May Have to Settle for Less Than FirstChoice Corvallis Even though industry is "retrenching" dur ing the "recession," 1958 col lege graduates will find a job, bet most will settle for some thing less than first choice, an Oregon State college sur vey shows. Summer Session At OSC To Feature Many Workshops Corvallis ' Annual sum mer session at Oregon State college this year will feature more than 20 special work shops and expanded programs of study in science and mathe matics, in addition to regular course offerings and college preparatory work for high school graduates. The "eight-week session is set June 23 to Aug. 15. The two and four-week workshops offer concentrated work in special fields. This year's group will include high school and college guidance and counseling, art education, farm mechanics, business eda cation, college "and university teaching, educational televis ion, home economics, driver education, industrial arts, and physical education. Most Extensive Science and mathematics of ferings this year will be among the most extensive and advanced in history, accord ing to Dr. F. R. Zeran, dean of education and summer ses sion director. Seventeen math ematics courses will be of fered and science work is be ing enlarged for the three national science teacher in stitutes scheduled on campus. Possibilities for some high school graduates to us the summer session as a "testing ground" for their interest and capacity for college has been suggested by Zeran. Students who fail to qualify for college admission on the basis- of standing in their high school class can qualify for college entrance through satisfactory summer school performance, he noted. The college's counseling service will be open through out the summer as a service to students, Zeran added. Three high school curricu lum workshops will be con ducted June 23 to July 18 in cooperation with the state de partment of education. They will be in business education, health education, and indus trial arts. Morticians Urged To Improve Ties Portland OP) The Ore gon Funeral Directors Asso ciation has been told it should "exercise seltaisci pline and improve public re lations, or face the threat of increasing legislative con trols." State Sen. Monroe Sweet land of Milwaukie, chairman of the Legislative .Interim Committee on Coroners Qualifications, told the group that there is "general dissat isfaction", with the present coroner system among law enforcement officials of Ore gon. Sweetland said the 1959 Legislature probably would . .nnoi4cr s-u7fpnin ' revisions tULiJvv-i w x a . nf the coroner laws, possibly to tne extern ujl MuuumS morticians from hoM.ng the office. Sweetland said he found resentment toward morti cians among physicians, clergymen, attorneys, patho logists and morticians who do not hold coroner's offices. He said the interim com mittee's report will be com pleted late this year. Living Costs Soar For 24th Month New York 0P The cost of living rose to a new all time high in April for the 24th consecutive month, the National Industrial Confer ence Board reported Wednes day. . Consumer prices in April rose 0.4 per cent from March and ran 3.2 per cent ahead of the same 1957 month, the board said. . The board's all-item index for April stood at 107.2 per cent of the 1953 base period. Food costs scored a month to month gain of 1.1 per cent to pace the index higher. The survey showed food costs now are 7 per cent higher than a year ago." .- OSC placement officials al-j so say thaj because Oregon lacks the research-type indus tries, a majority of the technically-trained graduates head to California for jobs. A chemistry professor said job possibilities are "not as good" this year as the past three years. But he added, "the last three years were not normal they were phe nomenal." Ph.D. Degrees Best bet is for the Ph.D. graduate, especially in math ematics, physics, chemistry and related fields. Starting pay is from $8,000 to $11,000 a year in industry and about $6,000 for college teaching or research. In spite of the temporary lag, engineering starting sal aries are up $10 to $15 a month, from the $460 average of last year to $745 this year. Civil engineers find the most job choices because of the federal highway program. ' Jobs are, tighter in educa tion. Turnover in the elemen tary , and high school teach ing ranks has slowed and many persons who left school work are coming back. Start ing pay for OSC education graduates this year will vary from $3,800 to $5,600. Shortage Fields Shortage fields in educa tion are girls physical educa tion, elementary education taught by young men, English, and special education for teaching mentally retarded and handicapped children. Greatest need is qualified li brarians for high schools. Hardest hit in the science fields is geology. This coun try's oil inventory is high, coupled with foreign reserves. Oil companies 'have curtailed exploraiton. Pay for those hired runs $485 to $500 a month. The forestry school has the least number of jobs listed since nine years ago. Para doxically, the June graduates are committed to jobs earlier this year. Knowing that things were "tighter," the students sought out jobs. Starting pay is $4,800. Demand for pharmacists is high. Most graduates go into drug store work with start ing pay at $5,200. Prospects Excellent Job prospects for home eco nomics gradutes are excellent. A need for college and high school teachers, dietitians and food service administra tors is reported. In business and technology, the shortage field is sales. Average starting salary for the business graduate is $375. Most of the larger companies pay $400 a month, except in banking and merchandising where pay is less. Agricultural students will find jobs available with com mercial companies and public service agencies. Starting pay is $4,200 'to $5,000, Biggest agriculture department at OSC now is fish and game. Former Hobby Now Man's Vocation Duncan, Okla. (tpiAn in terest in rocks developer dur ing his years as a miner turn ed into a hobby for M. R. Da vis, and now, at the age of 69, he's making it his voca tion. Davis, a lifelong admirer of beautiful rocks and semi-precious stones, has started cut ting stones for wholesale jew elry firms. "I guess this rock business is pretty much in your blood," said the one-time miner who later became a house painter and paperhanger. His interest in stones was stirred by the rock collection of his grandfather, a watch maker and silversmith. Davis said he has about $1,000 worth of equipment for his new career. He buys the stones he" cuts for jewel ers and does not use the ones he collects. "It's like fishing," he said. "If you want sport, you catch them. If you want td be sure to get fish, you go to a market and buy them." Davis usually wor .with agates, although he has. work ed also with jade. and some others. He looks Vupon is new vocation as an excellent one for aging people. K Political Unknowns To Be on Ballot as Governor-Candidates New York (IFI James C.

Over 60 per cent of the writing instruments sold to day are meant to serve as gifts. ELECT Judge JAMES M. MAIN Circuit Court Position No. 1 --0 Pi Pot Kd Bon Dv- Ovnn Sold HiU Editors note: This is the last in a series of profiles on candidates for governor in the May Primary. To day: George Livingston and Albert Eichman. Portland HP The names of three "political unknows" will be on the May primary ballot as candidates for the Republican nomination for governor Friday. One of them, Orval Rasor, announced last week he was with-drawing as a candidate and asked his supporters to back State Sen. Warren Gill of Lebanon. But his name will be on the ballot. The other two are George W. Livingston, 40, a plumb ing contractor from Damas cus and Clackamas country, and Albert Eichman, 47, Clackamas, whose slogan is "live and let live." Livingston says "prosperity for Oregon has never had such possibilities as now." He urges revision of the tax struc ture, unbiased law enforce ment, more representation on the Board of Control, develop ment of more basic industries, more emphasis on fair em ployment practices and a more active civil rights pro gram. Livingston received his ed eucation in Portland schools. Eichman, a native Oregon ian, is for legalized gambling under state supervision, as in Nevada. He would raise state income tax exemptions to $1500 for a single person and $2500 for a married couple. Eichman's platform calls for liquor by the drink for all taverns, no restriction on sale of liquor except between 2:30 ajn. Sunday to 1 pjn. Sundays: retail sales of bot tled alcoholic beverages to be sold by independently owned stores, no compulsory serving of food in, taverns with liquor by the drink and no requirement for liquor permits.
