THE YELLOW JACKET
THE LARVAE
With baseball season starting
it is a sure sign despite anything
the weatherman might say that
Spring is really here. I hate to
piek favorites but I will agree
with Tim Cohane and other sports
writers in picking the Dodgers
for the National and the Boston
Red Sox for the American. Who
ever wins the pennant and the
series I still think them beauti-
ful bums make up the best ball
club m the country.
Baseball as American as ice
cream cones and hot dogs is the
one type of athletics that I can
understand. It is a wonderful
i loan sport teaching democracy
and fair play. I read the other
dav somewhere that it is the
leading sport in Japan a country
which ha-: always been quick to
adopt the helpful habits of other
countries and is now going out
full force to being American
They have some pretty good ball
ilubs too.
For those people who like to
kniw a little bit about a lot of
things if not a whole lot about one
tinny then the best thing I can
think of is "Quick." They aren't
pa ing me anything to advertise
for thorn and as far as I know
there hasn't been one of their
good looking salesmen in town
lately This is just my own un-
biased opinion. The little weekly
mag ! nood. It is concise and
timeb' and covers everything
from the latest marriage to the
latest political mix up. It has cv-
irythmg Time and Newsweek has
in smaller doses and with better
pictures.
Gwendolyn now has ten chick-
ens She now has five half-grown
children along with her five lit-
tle ones. I don't know where they
came from but Dean Huff's of-
fice is getting to be known as the
Scott chicken farm.
Mr. Stewart has a bad case of
lumbago this week. It has for its
cause psychological reasons such
as being alergic to polishing cars.
Treva told me this one so
blame her It seems that a biology
teat her not on this campus I am
sure walked into class one morn-
ing "Good morning students" he
said "this morning we are going
to dissect this frog."
He pulled a ham sandwich out
of his back pocket stared at it a
few minutes and then muttered
That's funny I could have sworn
I ate a ham sandwich for lunch
today."
nd you wonder why I don't
want to take biology'.'
Don't knock yourself out or
an thing but thoie are some stu-
dent programs coming up in the
near future that wouldn't strain
jou to be present at same. There
are the Yellow Jacket Band Var-
iety Show. The Freshman Talent
Parade The Late Christopher
Bean and "Blossomtime." For
good entertainment what more
do you want?
M hearty congratulations
loo and whatnot to the people
who fixed the sidewalk on the
Center-Austin corner that had
formerly just come to a stop
about three feet from the regular
walk I've had to find something
oIm t" gripe about now that it has
been fixed but it is worth it.
o
I never saw a day so fair
And the beautiful sky so blue.
It's hard to stay inside and work
With days like this so new.
Now at last that spring has
sprung
And our campus a lovely green
Please won't you walk on our
beautiful walks
And help us keep it clean.
I caught the nicest string of fish
I think I've ever seen
Although it was on Sunday
And I guess a little mean.
But I hope that I am forgiven
For I work every day.
There is no other time for fishing
Except on the beautiful sabbath
day.

COLLEGE GRADUATES
Willi about 500000 college students graduating this year
the largest number in our country's history the job outlook
for the now college graduates is generally good. It is not how-
ever as i;ood as in 1947 and 1948.
The outlook is clouded by three factors: the large num-
ber of L'raduates who will be seeking iobs: a moderate in-
crease in the total number oi
filling of war-created shortages of college graduates in some
specialized fields by the large graduating classes of 1948 and
1949.
Basically the economy of the country is strong and there
is a general concensus that production and employment will
remain high during 1950. However the big problem facing the
economy is that of constantly providing more goods and ser-
vices and utilizing fully a labor force that is growing at the
rate of 600000 to 700000 workers a year. Even if employment
continues during 1950 at about the same level as last year as
it is expected to do unemployment will increase and jobs will
be harder to find.
Graduates seeking information on expanding industries
or sections of the country need to remember this basic fact:
most of the jobs taken by this year's college graduates will be
as usual those which have been vacated by other workers.
Deaths and retirements at the top of the occupational ladder
create the largest number of openings at the bottom. It follows
that most of the openings will occur in the large industries
and the areas where there are now the heaviest consentrations
of employment.
To emphasize that most job opportunities occur as a result
of turnovei is not to belittle the number that arise through ex-
pansion. Growing markets technological improvements and
the development of new industries and additional services all
create job openings for the inexperienced workers with the
proper training.
Employment in certain parts of the country is growing
more rapidly than in others in the long-run. This is true on
the West Coast the South Atlantic region and Texas. How-
ever the supply of workers in some of these areas the West
Coast for example has increased more rapidly than job op-
portunities. Moreover in rural areas of this country generally
the need for workers in some of the professional fields is
greater than in the cities.
For many college graduates of the class of 1950 the fact
that American industry is in a period of intense competition
for markets will be the major reason for success in finding
employment. Industry responds to competition by pushing
advertising and sales efforts and by cutting production costs
streamlining operations replacing obsolete equipment and re-
designing products and plants. These activities provide oppor-
tunities for professionally trained workers and for young and
vigorous people with sales ability or imagination in the ad-
vertising field.
Genera observations about conditions in the job market
tend to hide widely varying situations. Prospects are excellent
in some occupations industries and areas. In others where
wartime and postwar shortages have now been filled many
graduates will find it difficult to get jobs.
The picture facing this year's graduates is a mixed one.
Business conditions as a whole are continuing good. In spite
of this high level of business activity the growing labor force
and growing productivity may
employment. The picture for job opportunities is equally mix-
ed. Some occupations are oversupplied with graduates and
the competition will be intense for the available jobs. Other
fields have a demand for jobs which far outweight the avail-
able supply of trained people to fill those jobs. Those whose
training lies inthe crowded fields have several alternatives
open to them. First of all they would be well advised to ex-
plore the possibilities of entering any fields closely allied to
their field of primary interest where there may be more op-
enings. They should also explore the possibility of graduate
training to equip themselves with more specialized skills

remember the beard growing con-
test last year but you all have
a shock coming with about 45
long hair running around th
campus but don't get upset since
we must to be in the spirit of
Blossomtime.
Unfortunately in the days of
Schubert men grew long hair and
many had magnificent boards.
So bear with us since it's no-
end uncomfortable and rather un-
sightly to say the least.
We think that you will really
enjoy Blossomtime since it has
some of the best lines of any play
or show that I've seen in a long
time. Carol Reed in the part of
Papa Kraut. a character of un-
usual comic proportions will be
one of the highlights of the whole
performance as will Cliff and
Phebe Pederson as the Count and
Countess. All together we think
we have a real show for you.
Robert Shaw continues to re-
cord some of the most unforget-
ablc performances that I have ev-
er heard. His latest are a group of
Schubert part-songs for male
voices. This album contains "An
den Fruehlin" "Sehnsucht" "La
Pastorella" "Widerspruch" and
"Standchen." These part-songs of
Schubert are not too well known
but they are among his loveliest
numbers.
Hayden has become one of the
top concert hall and record shop
favorites of recent years. Person-
ally he has always been one of
my favorite composers but be-
cause his music was not too well
known he has not been perform-
ed. Since the war interest in his
music has risen and many of his
here-to-fore unrecorded sym-
phonys have found their way on
record shop counters all over the
country.

cast and arough race to third.
In National Cohane wins a
true "Tanks ya bum for da good
woid" from a Bum fan for his
faith in 'dem Bums." The Phillies
will fill in in a bitter second while
the Cards take a skid to the third.
The Giants take fourth with a
piomiso for some unpredictable
teamwork.
The greatest seasonal interest
seems to be stirring among the
Dodgers and Phillies' fans. Word
rumored is that Bum fans are col-
lecting non-breakable bats in-
stead of the usual autographed
ball. This is one persuasive meas-
ure for all Philly fans to become
"pro" Bums.
Sports are a universal custom
that promotes good sportsman-
ship good health and a better un-
oei'standing. You have your pre-
ferences which have been formed

and environment. Baseball is an
American custom that is a basic
part of our hi ntago and our cul

Round Firm And
"I So Fully Packed
Charles Kooler Howard Payne
senior told us that he recently
preached a sermon using the sub-
ject "So Round So Firm So Ful-
ly Packed." At first we were
amused but as he continued talk-
ing we realized that here was
truly a subject which was very
preachable.
"So Round" suggests eternity
a circle without end going on and
on with or without Christ.
"So Firm" is the foundation of
Christ's love and so firm is the
foundation of His church. So
firm and authoritative are His
commandments it behooves us to
follow Him.
His love and His book are so
fully packed with wonderful pro-
mises that to claim them to stand
upon them gives one a victorious
Christian life.
The effectiveness of unusual
sermon titles may be debated
and indeed has been but we be-
lieve that the title should be an
interesting one but that it should
definitely and completely agree
with the sermon content. It
should always serve as a light-
giver to the Scriptures.
Andrew II. Blackwood in one
of his books lists some sermon
topics which backfired and no
wonder. They were: "A Night
With the Witch of Endor" "John
the Baptist the Man Who Lost
His Head at a Dance" and "The
Middle Age Spread."
He also lists a sermon called
"He Was Not." The preacher said:
"Ho was not an Episcopalian for
he walked; he did not dance. En
och was not a Baptist for he

THE STRUGGLE FOR
THE WORLD
John Day & Co. 1947 S2.75
The world crisis is acute almost
immediate. Its elements are the
development of a global economy
the breakdown of the internation-
al political order and the exis-
tance of atomic weapons. A world
fet oration is essential to prevent
mass total world war.
Man's noblest ideal is a world
society of equals the free coop-
rativo union of all mankind. A
necessary stride toward that goal
will be a genuine world govern-
ment. This is the promise set forth
by Mr Burnham. But even world
government is not possible. There
are only two real alternatives
now. One of these is the conquest
of the world by the communists
a World Federation of Soviet Re-
publics. The other is a democratic
world order led by the United
States and backed by the atomic
bomb. '
Unless the United States makes'
a sharp break with the past Mr.
Burnham concludes that it will
continue to have no policy except
the hopeless "policy of vacilla
tion." "It mav be." he writes.
