Managing Editor This Issue __ Managing Editor This Issue Women's Editor This Issue _ News Editor _ • .Assistant Managing Editor -- .Advertising Manager Assistant Advertising Manager Graduate Counselor Wednesday, July 29, 1942 More Jobs Than Workers With Penn State's first Summer graduation looming within a month, the Federal government is already casting anxious glances at the outgoing ocniors who are needed to fill vital vacancies in many newly created departments in Washington. Undoubtedly, competition has reached stagger :ing heights—and unusual as it may seem, the ern .ployers are the - competitors. Everyone recog nizes that jobs far outnumber workers during - the present emergency, and both the government and big business have entered into keen competition :in their efforts to attract college-trained men in :to their own fields. • Big business, and particularly war industries, •will need every available man or woman in 1943. 'The U. S. Employment service estimates that Pennsylvania alone will need 300,000 more work ers during the next six months, if the proposed Tate of war production is to be maintained. But big business is not alone in its cry for ad ditional workers. In Washington, the Federal 'Government is faced with a serious labor short lage, 'and to help offset this threat, Uncle Sam is making a special effort to employ graduates-to-be in the Civil Service. For the third time this year, the Civil Service Commission is holding its Junior 'Professional As sistant examination for college students. Federal !positions paying $2,000 a year, which will be con mected with the government's important war ac 'tivities, will be filled by those attaining an eli gible rating in the examinations. Planned primarily to recruit college students who will graduate before the first of September, examination consists of a general test de signed to measure aptitude and general know ledge. Although no options are specified, quali :eied persons are particularly desired in the fields of business administration, public administration, economics, library science, statistics, and mathe matics through calculus. Whether the graduate will cast his lot with n government agency or a defense industry is a question which only he can decide. Washington officials are asking you to apply for Civil Service positions through your local post office; big busi ness, alias war industry, is begging you to accept jobs on fast-moving production lines; but when graduation rolls around, Uncle Sam's Draft Board 'will probably hold most of the priority numbers on this Summer's graduates. Carrying The Fight Not a clay passes in Washington, but what some new idea. is born y:ltich - the inventor hopes will Lie . iristrumental in turning this war in j-irteig..ls4ll - es favor : , . . One of the newest .sentiments td arise in Con gress favors the building of cargo-carrying sub :marines, which can be used as one of the safest methods of transporting supplies between the 'United States and her established battle fields on :foreign fronts. Since the vessel would be able ;to travel while submerged in approximately 100 feet of water, it would be comparatively safe from attack by an enemy submarine. Such a vessel is said to, be in use by Germany at present in supplying her submarines . wb:kh have :been so successfully plying on Amer',an freight transportation along the Atlantic _seaboard. Now That second front plans are tieing strongly inti mated by the United N ations, it is imperative that some form of sr;re- transportation be devised to supply the men and equipment that will carry 'the fight tc .the shores of our enemies.

We're gonna dust off our shoes and walk doWn this column shouting "Unity" until we've filled enough space to go home and sleep. Ignoring the Maniac's column of last week, we have something to say about the way people stand at attention when these high school kids give out with "TIW Star Spangled Banner" every morning. We happened to be up early enough to be'down*on the mall on one of these occasions We looked up at the Library and saw people standing in formal postures on the steps and pausing long enough on their way in or out to listeri to their national anthem. We saw a lone workman standing in a field near Carnegie Hall, listening all by himself. We watched groups of people near the entrance gates as they stopped chattering for a few moments. We saw ROTC men with their arms lifted in salutes. There must have been a couple hundred people on the campus mall at that time, all standing at atten- So we're shouting "Unity." We've seen it in the people who have invited out-of-town guests to attend. We've seen it in 'the whole-hearted cooperation various organiza tions have given in making posters, writing let ters, working up skits, arid doing plain, dull work on committees. We've watched Victory Weekend grow from an idea to a working plan, with everyone taking part. in it, whether in actual participation or in mere willingness to attend. And whether they're do ing it for fun, prestige, or Something to do, they all know that the proceeds will go to Army relief, and they're contributing. That's what we're calling Unity. Don't go away yet. We .have a closing inch or 'two. One of our professor friends stopped us at the fiesta last weekend and told us that he thought it would be a fine idea for the Collegian to send subScriptions to Penn State men who are now in the army. "I'd be willing to pay for one subscription, and I'll bet there are other faculty members who would do the same," he said. This statement was only one example of the way the whole campus has shown that it's think ing about defense. We like to know that people are united in their thoughts and purposes. . But our shoes are getting dusty again. School Principals \1 sc 0 To Hold Annual Banquet Tonight Superintendents and principals of Pennsylvania, meeting on cam pus in a three-day conference, will attend their annual dinner at the Nittany Lion Inn at 5:45 p. m. today. Dr. Francis B. Haas, superin tendent of public instruction, will speak on "What's Ahead for Penn sylvania Education?" and Dr. M. R. Trabue, dean of the School of Education and director of Sum mer session, will talk on "Educa tion in Our Times." "Our Campus, Its Trees, Shrubs, and Flowers" is the subject of a speech by Walter W. 'llora ine r, su perviser of landscape construction, in 110 Home Economics at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Conferences listed are "Teacher Supply and' Demand and Prob lems of Re-certification" in Schwab Auditorium at 9:30 a. M., and "What Can the Public Schools Do to Foster Better Inter-Ameri can Relations?" in the auditorium at 2 p. m. Germahy • Smells Oil Rostov Falls! When that terse cOrritnunique, was flashed over the usually voluble Berlin radio, military observers all over the world agreed that Russia• and the United Nations are oh the threshold of a major crisis. Over the same routes that saw the. ancient barbarians swarm from Asia, the Nazi hordes are`now moving to try .to capture the strategiC - crossroads of thrde continents. With this conquest the Axis would control not only most of the oil of Eurasia, but would realize the beginning of the Nazi geopolitical scheme of the domination of Europe, Asia, land Africa. . . . Rostov—city of 500,000 inhabitants; important industrial center; junction of oil pipelines and railways from the Caucasian oil fields of Baku, Maikop, and Groznyis but another stepping-stone, in Ger many's drive td bring the Soviet toher knees. Although tlie:acquisr tion of the oil fields is an important objective, the cutting of Russia's • major supply line is the priMe one. • Way materials flow into the USSR through the Near_ East. The main route covers air transportation of supplies across Africa from Freetown to Khartoum, thence across Arabia into Iran (Persia) and through the , CaUcaSus into the Soviet. This line Hitler hopes to sever. The means with which to accomplish this amputation lies in the defense of Stalingrad, Hitler's next victim about 250 miles north of Rostov. At Stalingrad, where the Volga and Don rivers almost foim a junction, the Nazis can effectively bottle the Red supply line and dictate their own terms. Russia is vitally dependent on these waterways to get those sup plies into the interior. Then again, Rostov is only 400 miles from Baku, which supplies Russia with 70 per cent of her petroleum. Also, the. south Russian area in the shade of the Caucasus mountains con tains the best manganese deposits in the world. • So events in the next few weeks may decide the fate of the Rus sian oil fields and the Near East, and whether or not 'Hitler's dream of a world empire will be extended into Asia. • • iOn The War Fronts-- -FERDY •• • " " """ " " "" " \Otte Penn State Pfaver3 • PteSeili . . • iv. tie LITTLE fol(tS" • tonight ettnesd* Atli 29 VA P.
