Accelerated Pace Of
Economy Demands
More Scientists.
Corvallis-One out of every
three persons working in the
larger industries today in
America is engaged in work
on products or progams that
did not even exist 10 years
ago.
This evidence of the accel
erated pace of the American
economy is the reason for the
great demand for well-trained
engineers and scientists,
George Gleeson, dean of en
gineering at Oregon State
college, said.
Unparalleled opportunities
are ahead for graduates in
the two fields, he believes, if
students are willing to ade
quately prepare themselves.
An indication that they are
is the fact that the number
of master's degrees in engin
eering in, the U.S. increased
16 per cent last year.
Freshman Enrollments
Freshman enrollments in
engineering have declined
during the past two years,
Gleeson noted, but not be
cause of lack of job opportun-ities-although
that mistaken
notion was held by some.
Emphasis upon science dur
ing the past three years has
had some adverse effect upon
engineering enrollments since
both science and engineering
tend to draw students from
the same high school gradu
ate group, he pointed out. It
is hoped that the greater em
phasis . upon science at the
secondary school level now
will provide a large backlog
for both science and engin
eering, according to Gleeson.
As evidence that demand
for engineers still is far ahead
of the supply, the OSC dean
points to recruitment figures
of 220 major companies last
June. The companies had
wanted to hire more than 11,
700 technical persons, but
wound up with only 9,415 or
80 per cent of their require
ments. ; i:;
' The! Same "220 j companies i
report that they will need
about i,200 more trained
workers this year than a year
ago-a 10 per cent increase in
one year.
Average starting salaries
continue to rise but at a slow
er rate than before. Starting
salaries for bachelor degee
engineering graduates this
year averaged $490 per
month; $554 for master's de
gree graduates; and $747 for
doctor's degrees.
Lead Offerings
Aircraft and aircraft parts
industries lead all others in
salary offerings.
Planned visitations to col
leges for recruitment are in
creasing this year, Gleeson
reported.
"Quality of applicants is
more important than quantity
and companies will not take
persons who do not measure
up to their requirements,"
Gleeson 'said in emphasizing
the high standards of work
expected of students.
National . reports indicate
that the high school scholas
tic records of freshmen who
entered engineering classes
last year were higher than
usual. This seems likely to
mean that the per cent of
freshmen who finally gradu
ate in engineering will in
crease thereby offsetting the
reduced enrollments , of the
past two years.
. OSC has 1,581 engineering
students this year, including
462 freshmen. Last year's
and this fall's enrollment
figures are down from 1957-
58, but Gleeson expects an
upswing in enrollments be
ginning next fall. Engineer
ing has long been the largest
school at OSC. '

Why feed'em
.1
when you don't need '
It isn't good horse sense and it isn't
good truck sense, either, to pay for
150 to 200 horsepower to deliver
normal light loads!
Volkswagen Trucks need less horse
power because they have less dead
weight. Their rugged, unitized steel
bodies are braced and balanced like
the fuselage of a plane. Their rear
mounted air-cooled engines are all
muscle no fat. i . j
That's why they can climb 25
grades fully loaded and still get up
o 24 miles to the gallon. They do
twice the job of usual trucks, and at
half the cost.
The Volkswagen Panel Delivery
shown here carries 1,830 lbs. in 170
cu. ft. And it costs only $2172
Come in, let us show you how a VW
Panel Delivery can do a better job at
less cost on your job!

Oregon public utility commis
sioner late Wednesday issued:
a warning to truck owners
who may regard themselves
outside PUC jurisdiction;
PUC transportation direc
tor James E. Singleton . said

load exceeds 6,000 pounds,
that . vehicle should bear the
proper rvc plates and tne
owner should be responsible
for highway use taxes. '

and operators in doubt as to
whether the PUC has jurisdiction.

particularly was rampant in
Portland, Eugene, Salem and
Pendleton.
Hawaiian Volcano
Spouting Again
Volcano, Hawaii -(LTD- Ha
waii's Kilauea Iki volcano
fountain came to life again
early today, sluggishly erupt
ing lava as high as 50 feet
into the air.

and residents with a week
long spectacle - at one time
shooting lava 1,250 feet into
the air.

waii National Park Observa

erupting again shortly after

for a second time.
(Basic Question off Union
integrity Seen in Strike
Portland-fliPD-Publishers -of ing the walkout as sympathiz-
the Oregon Journal and The
Oregonian said Wednesday
the "major problem" of the
15-day Stereotypers' strike
against the newspapers had
now become the "basic ques
tion of union integrity and
the sanctity of contracts."
The publishers, who have
joined in a combined news
paper since the walkout .of
the Stereotypers and other
croft unions Nov. 10, said in
a page one statement that the
unions had violated their con
tracts in striking or in join
ers.
It added:
"... Back at the bargain
ing table, the negotiators will
try to -unscramble the omelet
of old issues and new prob
lems raised by the strike it
self. With all the broken con
tracts lying around, the ques
tion will arise how any agree
ment can be signed with these
unions and'. be worth the pa
per it is written on. In fact,
this basic question of union
integrity and the sanctity of
contracts now becomes the
major problem a problem
which goes to the very found
ation of the collective bargain
ing relationship.
"In the stereotypers strike
and the walkout of the un
ions, Humpty-Dumpty had a
great fall. It remains to be
seen whether Humpty-Dumpty
can be put back together
again."
' Stereotypers headquarters
here indicated no cqmment
on the publishers statement
would be immediately forthcoming.

Portsmouth, England - (CrD
Municipal official Alex Kin
near reported Wednesday that
