N.Y.CHICAGO ■ BOITON • LOS AACELIS * SAM FMffClfCOEntered as second class matter January 28, 1927, at the <strong>Po</strong>st Officeat <strong>Hi</strong>gh <strong>Po</strong>int, North Carolina, under the act of March 3, 1879FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1941THE SCENE CHANGES: JOBS GO BEGGING(By Associated Collegiate Press)American colleges, technical schools and universities areunable to meet a third of the demands being made on themfor trained workers, reports E. E. Crabb, president of InvestorsSyndicate. "Although American institutions of higherlearning are meeting two-thirds of the demands on them fortrained workers," explained Mr. Crabb, "they are not satisfyingrequests from some industries, and in some regions, byany such proportions."Defense and allied industries are making the greatestincrease in number of demands, according to the company'sannual national survey of college graduates' job prospects.Comments made by 501 institutions answering the questionnairestress willingness of prospective employers to trainliberal arts and teachers' college graduates in mechanicalarts and sciences, and retrain engineering graduates for newfields in which workers are scarce. Beginning salaries offeredare highest in years. Draft boards' policies of callingtechnical graduates and students have lessened availablesupplies of sought for workers on campuses."One western Pennsylvania institution, asked about thepercentage of technically trained graduates it was able tosupply, answered that 'as early as last February corporationsrecruiting on our campus demanded 33,500 young engineeringgraduates, though our June graduating class could notexceed 235 graduates'," said Mr. Crabb. A Connecticut liberalarts college replied, 'employment demand is the largestin our 60-year history.' On an Iowa Campus twice as manyengineers were sought this year as in 1938. From a Texasuniversity came the declaration, 'ten times as many firmsrecruited here this year as ever before.' Typical of Californiacomment was the statement, 'our difficulty is to findenough candidates available to recommend when job openingsare called to our attention.'"While these specific instances do not measure totalactual, scarcities in individual fields, they do indicate trends.Inferentially more details emerge from replies to anotherquestion: 'How much, and in what fields, has demand foryour technically trained graduates increased, or decreased,compared with a year ago ?'"Engineering, chemistry, teaching, aeronautics, industrialarts, business administration, general physical sciences,secretarial, and a combination of mathematics and science,in order named, most frequently are mentioned in increaseddemands for graduates. Ranking next are commerce andhome economics, tenth; and accounting and sales, which arein eleventh place."Many of our men graduates from the liberal arts college,"said W. G. Leutner, president, Western Reserve University,after commenting that college men are placing increasingemphasis on adequate training or apprentice programs,"seek employment in industrial centers where theygo to work in a production department and take their chanceson working their way up to a worthwhile administrative position,contradictory to the popular idea that college menare afraid to get their hands dirty."PEACE—NEW NAMETo the millions who, in 1918, celebrated the first ArmisticeDay, it meant the end of a long, bitter struggle to endall wars and the beginning of a new and better era.After 23 years we observed Armistice Day last Tuesdayin the midst of a new and more terrible war—a war thatwas started at the last peace conference!Persons were a little bit hesitant about what they werecommemorating this year. It seemed that it was the heightof irony when we should stop to observe that day whenmen theoretically resolved to hate! But the day has been asore spot!It was observed in some circles as World GovernmentDay, but is there any world government? Is there anygovernment greater in power than the one <strong>Hi</strong>tler is spreadingover Europe?This Peace Commemoration Day may have been sentto bring people back to a memory—a memory of an idealwhich gave promise of being.When "Taps" was played here in Roberts Hall, Tuesday,it sounded more like a death knell than a song of calm joy.One could not help the sad tinge in his memory.We wonder what new name will be given to peacenext year?Musical NotesBy OSWALD BLATTProbably only through coincidenceboth the Philharmonics andthe NBC Symphony offered greatchoral works. Brun Walter, theNew York Philharmonics, theWestminster Choir and the soloists,E. Szantho, E. Stiber, N.Moscona and W. Hain performedthe Requiem in D Minor by Mozart,in memory of the 150th anniversaryof the composer's deathon November 5. As this requiemis the last composition Mozartwrote and as, legend has it, hefelt that he was writing it forhimself, it was the most appropriatemusic for the occasion.Mr. Peyser, a music critic writingfor "Musical America," recentlysaid: "Sir Thomas Beechamis a Mozart conductor by thegrace of God." With Mr. Peyser'spermission, may we add,that Mr. Walter belongs to thesame category as Sir Thomas.Mr. Walter gave a reading whichlacked nothing. It was alwaysevenly balanced, with no points orexaggerations, and of moving eloquenceand depth of feeling. Thewhole work may not even be Mozart'scomposition, the last threeparts were either not written atall or only sketched when he diedand added by his pupil Sussmaycr,but still the work seems to beMozart all the w«jy through, withoutcontaining a single superfluousnote. Mr. Walter made itsound just like that. It is truethat Mozart died in poverty, andthat he was buried in a pauper'sgrave, the location of which isunknown. We cannot worship themaster by placing flowers on it,but that doesn't matter, when wehave a conductor like Bruno Walterwho can bring the true Mozartbefore us so vividl.y.The rest of the program consistedof the "Alto Rhapsody,"by Brahmns, one of Brahms' mostserious and mystic works. AgainMr. Walter showed us his completeunderstanding of the composer'sintentions. A group ofexcellent soloists, a perfectlytrained choir and a brilliant orchestrahelped to make this atruly memorable concert.Mr. Stokowski had the happyidea to play on Tuesday, ArmisticeDay, the final movement ofBeethoven's Ninth Symphony, thechoral part of which ("Ode toJoy") sings of the brotherhood ofman. Frequently single movementsof a symphony take onthe appearance of fragments; thethree other movements are obviouslymissing. Not so here. Mr.Stokowski gave us a superb reading.<strong>Hi</strong>s dramatic interpretation,which never once violated goodtaste or became too pointed, madethe movement appear as one toweringcompact unit, with the finalgreat climax of the choir's andorchestra's joint affirmation, thatthere is, and always will be, joyand good will on this earth. Mr.Stokowski achieved his purpose:On this Armistice Day, amidst theclouds of a new war, we becameaware that not all is lost, that abetter future is in store for us.Next week's programs: N. Y.Philharmonics: Haydn: Symphonyin B Flat, Mozart; Concerts forpiano and orchestra in E Flat(soloist, A. Schmabel), Schubert;Overture to "Rosammimde." Cond.Mr. Walter.NBC Symphony: Prokofieff:Excerpts from "The Love of theThree Oranges.". Kelly: Adiron-dack Suite. Brahms 4th Symphony.Cond.: Mr. Stokowski.O-HI-0 VIEWWar games are going on allabout us . . . Games of awful importance,as we all know. Weread the headlines in the papers,we hear speeches on "bravery"and "morale" until they becomemeaningless words dinning aroundour escape-seeking brains. So, wesay, we're sick of hearing aboutthe draft, the war, and we finda temporary way out, talking andforgetting.Now, H. P. C. is right smackdabin the middle of maneuvers.And we don't seem to realize thegreat significance . . . It's a lot offun to watch boys we know standingup in the Tower. It's a bigjoke to have them shout down atyou, once in a while. The ideaof watching for enemy planes justcan't be a serious idea when thesunshine is doing its best to makethe campus look clean and smiling.But Tuesday we watched theflash of wings against a blue,blue sky. That same peaceful sunlightreflected from "enemy"planes.There were several of us up onthe second floor watching theplanes. We saw one dive downtoward the <strong>Library</strong>. Theoretically,perhaps it was bombed. It wasplay, but terribly earnest.So now we're co-operating, too.Little things like braving the shiveryblasts up in the Tower, turningoff lights when they aren'tbeing used, such little things—but indicative of our spirit. And<strong>Hi</strong>gh <strong>Po</strong>int has that. If you'reinclined to disagree, just rememberthe Elon game.Question of the Week:Why don't more of the facultysing our school song when thestudent body is waxing lusty andloud?<strong>Fall</strong> Signs and Sighs:Loud plaid shirts have comeinto their own—or perhaps weshould say: They've gone out oftheir own. Anyway, Betty Russell'sli'l green and yaller numberreally gets around a lot ofdifferent gals.The sigh (t) of the week, webelieve, is the way the spring-likeweather is affecting some youngmen's fancies. How about that,Wiley ?Also, the same springish weatherseems to be advocating longhealthy (Could there be any otherreason?) walks after meals.Quacks:(And, of course, you all knowthat a "quack" is what a personmakes when he wants to be punny)Now, in signing off, we arereminded of the classic Susie, theglow worm. Susie had a distinctivetalent: she glowed differentcolors—red, blue, green andviolet. She was perfectly happyuntil she saw Lahy Linniman,Esq.'s plaid shirt. Then she triedto realize the lofty ambition ofglowing plaid. She tried and tried.Finally one day she reached hergoal. So she went up to Linnimanto show her prowess! Witha mighty effort she glowed plaid.And blew a fuse. Lany stoodhelplessly by her, watching herlast feeble efforts. Finally heasked sadly, "Why, oh WHY didyou try to glow plaid like mybe-you-too-full shirt?"Susie looked up at him and repliedwith her last breath, "Lany,you should know that when yougotta glow, you gotta glow!"S'long—This Collegiate WorldIt took some arranging but theRev. and Mrs. Clifford <strong>Po</strong>ttshave worked out a' daily livingschedule to take into considerationtheir year - and-a-half-olddaughter and their classes at BaylorUniversity, Waco, Texas.They arranged their class schedulesso one could be with thebaby at all times, but it happenedthat each took alternate hours sothe baby-to-class and class-tobabyrush now comes every hourfrom 8 a. m. to 2:40 p. m.And, as bad luck would have itthey found there was no houseavailable near the campus to permitthem time for the baby-toclassand class-to-baby sprints.So they worked it out like this:Mr. <strong>Po</strong>tts goes to his eight o'clockclass leaving Mrs. <strong>Po</strong>tts with thebaby. At 8:55 he hurries towardhome. On the way he meets hiswife, carrying the child in herarms. She hands him the babyand hurries on to school. He takesthe little girl home again.The exchange occurs from fatherto mother at 10 a. m., frommother to father atll:40 a. m. andso on throughout the day.Of course, the baby gets plentyof airing and when one or theother of her parents is a little lateshe changes hands with the motherand father, almost on the run.You ought to hear Mary AliceThayer tell how she caught Li'lAbner.In drawing a diagram of thestreets, she described the positionof the Enterprise building, theRainbow Diner, Moffitt's and thecrowd. Don's line of defense wasplaced and his line of flight.Mary Alice had just gone totown to see who caught the fleeingDogpatcher, and while wait-ing to see the bevy of girls awoman just up and dared ourDaisy Mae to chase him herself.Now Mary Alice was never oneto take a dare, so she planned herstrategy of attack. Li'l Abnerwas to be given a start of tenfeet and instead of being behindhim she decided to be just beyondthat stretch of ground and grabhim as soon as his leave of absencewas over. The furlough wasin a bee line from angle to angleand dodging of feminine arms.Army games no doubt!Well, this young man hadjust maneuvered across EnglishStreet to the curb infront of Moffitt's where he hadto dodge back and then MaryAlice took out after him. Hedidn't get far because, of thevisor grip on his suspenders!Turning around in surprise(somebody said that he expectedto see Petack) he exclaimedin wonder, "Where didyou come from?"He later stated that he felt asif he had been thrown in one ofthose practice games by a regularplayer. Don stated that MaryAlice's style was really copiedby Petack.Don'tcha feel funny when youput on some old shoes that areturned up at the toes, shoes ofthe year before you turned yourtoes down by walking on yourheels too? Well, you just oughtatry some on that way. You feelas if you must have been walkingon your toes and suddenly gotstiff feet. There's a slight pressureunder your toes that mightbe ticklish!There's something about a cheerfulbus driver—something I likevery much! This one was drivingme (only me) through Emerywood,and at a stop he came to me withhis hands full of pecans and gaveme some. He also gave me histicket punchgr to crack them with.And I had a nice chat with himtoo. He's been driving a bus for14 years and eight hours everyday. He's learned the revolutionsof the bus and its taking thecurves, too!Dean Lindley, speaking aboutthe book of Judges, stated that itwas comparable to the Wild Westfiction of today. Then the Deansaid in parenthesis that he understood,however, that there was noWild West left in America 'ceptmaybe Mae. La Chamberlaincaught on sorta late and Dean remindedthe class, "Tell a Britishera joke in his youth to make himhappy in his old age." Dean Lindley'sa happy soul and I'm nottelling his age. He's only oldenough to hate Elon! Yea!Some of these practice teachersare finding time to laugh occasionally.Some of 'em read paperswhich occasionally are interestingand humorous. This particularone that <strong>Hi</strong>lda Lanier had, stated:"A tender feeling suddenly struckme in the chest . . . "Can'tchaimagine that? If a tender feelingstrikes me, I wouldn't consider ittender, or some tenderness wouldbe changed. Then the next sentencesaid something about "mystrength was brought back to me"—it sounds sorta like a kidnaping!But who am I, to judge? I tinkI go home! Wanta go 'long?H. P. C.
