Employers are 'skimming
off the cream of the crop of
college graduates this spring.
. Recruiters visiting campuses
across the nation are empha
sizing the graduating senior's
grade point average much
more than at any other time
in recent years.
They are seeking out youths
in the top one-third, one-quar
ter or. even the upper 10 per
cent of their class. -

24 Categories
Reale lists 24 categories of
finished work to be displayed
by domiciliary members. . He
cites that those hobbyists who
furnish their own tools and
materials will have hand
made articles ready for public
sale. .
' Members who work in arts
and crafts with materials and
tools furnished by the govern
ment are not allowed to profit
through sale of items, Reale
pointed out.
A special room displaying
for sale objects will be set
up adjoining the theater.

. has invited the public to the
open house during the hours
of the show, noon until 5 p.m.
He also stressed that conduct
ed tours will be arranged
throughout the afternoon to
points of interest in the domi
ciliary. .
The open house also affords
an opportunity for the public
to meet the VA staff and be
come acquainted with the fa
cility's programs for the dis
, bled veterans, he pointed out.
FAIRLY EASY, TOO
Stockton, Calif. DPD Stock
ton's new "escape-proof" jail
suffered its first setback
: Tuesday two men escaped.
Donald Emery, 19, and Wil
liam Nooner, 25, climbed over
a fence via a catwalk normal
ly patrolled by two guards.
The guards were presiding
over a recreation period in
the jail yard.
IT'S ALSO SPRING
: London-(UPD-Robert Robert
son, 34, was. fined $22.40 for
speeding and careless driving
after he was seen kissing his
wife while driving at 50
hour. "My wife snuggled up
to me and kissed me," he told
the judge, "so what could I do
but kiss her back."
iallzed fields over students
who show only a broad, gen
eral education.
In a year when many col
lege placement officers report
a "soft" job situation, gradu
ates in the lower half of their
class and liberal arts students
with no specialty are finding
the job hunting difficult.
. These general trends show
ed up repeatedly in reports
from placement officials of 76
colleges and universities to
United Press International.
They were reflected, too, in
checks made by UPI reporters
with dozens of state and pri
v a t e employment agencies
from coast to coast.
Pays Keep Rising
But the survey also showed
that despite fewer jobs for
graduates in many areas, start
ing salaries will continue their
upward trend this recession
year.
In general, 1961 graduates
appear to be signing up at 2
to 5 per cent higher pay than
their 1960 predecessors. Engl
neering graduates command
almost double ' the starting
salary of 1950 graduates,
Northwestern university re
ported.
Dozens of schools surveyed
by UPI said recruiters are
seeking interviews only with
students in the top one-fourth
or one-third of their class.
Harold Dreher of Cleveland
president of Dreher Employ
ment Service and president of
the National Employment as
sociation, said jobs definitely
are fewer,
"It's not going to be easy
for the liberal arts major," he
said. "This is a world of spec
ialists." . : ,
Spokesmen for the Univer
sity of Oregon and the Michi
Ban Employment Security
Commission expressed belief
that, although the economy is
soft at the, moment, some
firms are looking ahead to the
future - trying to "fill their
pipe lines" . with potential
executives they might not be
able to hire when competition
for graduates is more intense.
Training Programs
On the' other hand, several
placement officials reported
that, companies were paring
down their young executive
training programs. ;
Most placement bureau's re
ported engineering graduates
- particularly electrical and
electronic engineers - most in
demand. They're followed
closely by science specialists-
physicists and chemists - and
by mathematicians and ac
countants. i
: At the University of Texas
the demand for teachers is up
more than 100 per cent , over
last year. California teacher
recruiters are offering $2,500
a year above Texas levels and
have invaded states as far
away as Georgia.
Beginning engineers are
being hired at an average
monthly wage of $520 at
Northwestern university, $550
to $600 at George Washington
Damage Suit Filed

Point, "is seeking damages

damages of $2,500 and special
damages of $69 in a first

the truck and trailer rolled
o,-er.

juries, lost a load of logs, the
