PAGE TWO Shop Around In this hour cl tough, give-and-take com petition among college graduates for the top notch jobs that industry offers, it behooves each student to prepare himself for the struggle. VIRTUALLY ANY college-caliber student who can apply himself to his work can pro duce satisfactory class grades, but with these high marks he is liable to fall into the pit of complacence. His attitude may be that his scholactic record will cope with the best of them and he should have no trouble in the job market. But there's a hitch. Today, more Is de manded of the college grad. Today, job application blanks and requests for a list of extra-curricular activities are twin peas in a pod. George N. P. Leetch, director of the College Placement Service, puts it square ly: ' "Extra-curricular activities actually de velop the individual so he can deal with a prospective employer. A fellow who is out for activities is more likely to be open and frank in the interview and get along muon better. So much of a person must be molded outside of class. There fore, school activities are desirable, and employers ask about them." Present-day employers sdy they stress extra curricular activities of college job-seekers be cause they generally want men “with energy and diversified interests in the key posts. They want men who know what it is to work and play within an organization, men who will do a little extra for the success of a common goal.” AT PENN STATE there is an almost endless list of organizations which one may become a part of. There is bound to be at least one group which will appeal to a specific student, whether it be the Sociology Club or the Rod and Coccus Club or a School Student Council or the Four- H \ 1 1 Many clubs are organized for the mutual benefit of all the members. They afford an op portunity for students with mutual interests to meet and discuss these interests. These clubs help to broaden the student socially and in tellectually. ... STILL OTHER organizations demand a more tanbible contribution by the members, where the talents of the.members are brought into play to produce either a play or a newspaper or a magazine. More could be said, but the important decision must be made by each one of Us. . For your own sake, shop around —among ' Penn Siaie student groups.

Thumbs Up ' THE EDITOR: In answer to the article “Thumbs Down” which appeared in The Daily Collegian of October 18 dealing with the Bonus for Veterans of Pennsy’vania True there is an organiza tion within the Commonwealth made up of veterans of the past war who say “NO” to a State Bonus for their “Comrades” (us ing the term, loosely). But the public should know that this group is made up' in the main of powerful business groups of the State, therefore, . I contend the above are not thinking of the welfare of G.I. Joe, his family or perhaps the widows of some who can’s come back to Collect the bonus, but' are more . concerned with the. interests of “Big Busi ness” and in the main their , own pocket books in the form of tax blanks, I believe the average veteran and his family will be more than willing to repay this Great State in the form of taxes covering a period of time in order to have that lump sum “now” when it is Student BX at W.

BRIDE desperately needed in view of the terrible year most of our citi zens have seen In the Way of a business recession, cpupled with the present labor disputes. Many a home, car or even hospital bills can be paid off readily by the bonds, but after all what is a' home, a car, or a hospital bill to the business clique of the State who are literally rolling in the dough their business collected in their absence - during the war; they received their bonus plus from Uncle Satn in the fat war contract while the rest of the boys wallowed around - in. the mud. These so called “Comrades” of ours probably represent the percent from Pennsylvania who sat in the Pentagon directing the , operations. —Tom Keith Gleaned From Prints By AL RYAN , v IS YEARS AGO Charges of sedition were- lodged against a Penn State alumnus this week, 15 years ago, and Danielson, Conn, police, who made the arrest, alleged that the roots of the man’s "Red” beliefs lay, “not in the gutters of New York, but among the irees of Alma Mater’s front campus.” "THEY OUGHT to shoot some of these dam radical professors - that will take one of our own good . American boys from us,” agents of the law urged when it was learned that the man was “neither Russian agent nor Ger man alien ...” Tracing ihe man's record <at the College, it was established to the satisfaction of many here that the man couldn't ha ve had such seeds planted in his philosophy here, either In classrooms or in organised extracurricular activities. Rising s in ire to answer the in sinuations against 'the teachers here at the time, at least, one student labeled Danielson police as "libelously mistaken.” “Penn State is blamesless,” he concluded. •• • ■ Fraternity men are more than likely to agree with a recent survey which places boarding house meals above those of the average fra ternity, stated a writer at this time, .15 .years ago. There are few things more pitiful', he claim ed, than the attempts made by most student caterers to nurture their brothers through four years of college life on the same menus which they themselves suffered as freshmen. “ Gazette Friday.
