PETROLEUM GRADUATES

Code of Oil Industry Adopted Three
Weeks Ago Held as Cause
Since the National Recovery Ad

industry was, r:dopted three weeks
ago, all of the petroleum engineers
who were graduated last, June have
received employment, according to
word received by Dr. Chcsleigh A.
Boninc, head of the department of
geology and petroleum engineering.
Most of the graduates have been
placed through the cooperation of of
ficials of the Pennsylvania Grade
Crude Oil association. However, since,
petroleum engineers are in great de
mand in the Oil City district, unem
ployment in this line has decreased.
Concurrently with the growth of po
sitions in the oil industry, the enroll
ment in the petroleum engineering ,
curriculum has increased one hundred
percent, according to Dr. Bonine.

campaign for the voter:: approval of
the $25,000,000 bond iSs.ie at the gen

ing the coming months:
To Vote NoveMber
Such a campaign wild not be as
extensive as a similar one conducted
in 1928, when the Coike sought ap
proval of an sB,o9o,o`44.issue for
ouiitf
ings here to meet the increased de
mands of a large student body and
public service and research facilities.
Carrying with it the appropriation
of $3,708,000, providing for the oper
ation and maintenance of the College
during the 1833435 biennium, a bill
was passed by the House and the Sen
ate and approved by the Governor on
May 4 which will , he subject to the
decision of the public at 'the election
on. November 7.
Of the sum appropriated by the
act, thirty-three and one-third per
cent will be abated unless the voters
at the November elections approve a
$25,000,000 bond issue floated to de
fray the expenaes of the State govern
ment for the biennium. This would
mean that the total slash would
amount to $2,084,000 as the figure
asked for in the College budget was
$4,120,00.
Since the passage of the bill in May,
the College has been forced to operate
until the November elections under
a tentative budget, as the total
amount of the abatement would be
prorated among and deducted from
the remaining payments. Defeat of
the bill would make a complete re
vision of the budget necessary.
