TUESDAY, MAY ,25,-19•64 Ecorl.orrilio:Poli . cies :Killing Repatitgicd." PaityMorse By ANN LEH "The Republican party is dying—and you May quote me on that," Sen. Wayne Morse said in an in terview following his Community Forum address Friday night. • The mavarick from Oregon, who was elected to Senate as a Republican and now calls himself an Independent, said "economic reasons," and not McCarthyism, are responsible for the GOP's fate. "The Republican party is ceasing to' be a party of the people," he said. "It's a big business party and its policies won't keep it in office very long." Morse said he felt the Democratic party too is on the decline. He cited the examples of the Re publican sponsored Dixiecrat party of the .1948 election and the "Democrats for Eisenhower" in 1952. Seniors Join Job-Hunters Next Month The. difference one day can make - in the status of a graduating senior is; amazing. During his last semester on campus, the college senior is looked upon as a person with a great deal of administrative. po tential. After four years of train ing, -rapid advance into the ranks of management is a keen vision to the -graduate. However on the day of grad uation, this situation changes radically. The former college sen ior then joins the ranks of the unemployed, or, - if fortunate, the ranks of the apprentice. Thus in the course of one day, the senior with all kinds of potential may become an ordinary job-hunting citizen. Still Hope But there is still hope for these unfortunates. According to offi cials of the University Placement Service, with today's, demand for employees, chances of this hap pening are less likely than ever before. In order to find out how many students have found jobs '•and where, the Placement Service will distribute questionnaires to all June and August graduates. These forms will contain three questions and can be completed in. less than a minute. The information re ceived from the survey will help placement advise next year's sen iors in order that they clo -not join next summer's ranks of the un employed. Few Chances in NYC . A word of warning may be in jected here from the president of the. Vocationai Consulting. Asso ciates, William Karp of New York. "The graduate of 1954 who looks for 'a job in New York City will have a harder time of it this year," Karp said yesterday in a publicity release. "Metropolitan employers are no longer hungry for the college graduate and this means young people from all over the country will waste hundreds of thousands of dollars and prec ious time in fruitless job, hunting in New York City." . 10.000 Head for City • " According to Karp at least 10,- 000 graduates go to New York City every year in search of a career and about three-fourths of • them take any jobs that come along be cause they have to . eat or are ashamed to go home. • "Few connect with the. field' in which they are interested or for which they have some train ing," Karp said. To avoid failing in job hunting in the metropolis Karp suggests that the graduate should not go to the city . until he: 1, has a fairly clear idea of the field in which he wants to work 2. has gathered occupational information about that field— its requirements, pay, future, present. openings .3, has canvassed local .con tacts among business people, friends, and relatives for let ters of introduction. and recom mendations 4.; has corresponded ahead of time with reputable employ ment agencies an d skillfull career counselors in the city concerned. Room Assignments :Women students who do not have 'a paid assignment, either on a waiting list or a regular room assignment, should see Mrs. Cordelia Hibbs, assistant to the dean of women, before s.p e m. tomorrow at the Dean of Women's office, 105 Old Main. Morse said he believed there will be a new party alignment along liberal and conservative lines. "The liberal party, when it comes, won't call for the type of regularity Eisenhower insists on," the Senator said. In describing this "regularity," Morse said Eisenhower frequently calls Congressmen directly to in form them how he wants them to vote on a particular issue. In discussing his break from the party in the question period following his address, Morse said he had been warned that his move was "political suicide." However, Morse said during the interview he is sure now his move wasn't "political suicide." "I expect to be re-elected," he said. To back up his statement, Morse said mail from his con stituents has never been against him. He said when he first broke from the party his letters were about four to one in favor of his action while they are now about 11 to one. Geis Warm Reception "The reception I get when I go home is much warmer now than it formerly was," he said. Although he is now supporting the Democratic Party, Morse said he will probably run as an "Inde pendent." Switching the topic of conver sation from domestic to interna tional scene, the salt-and-pepper grey haired senator said, "We can beat Russian Communism with out. a war: The economic produc- Jive power of our Allies is our greatest weapon." He urged a change in present United States foreign polity and used the recent 'Latin American conference at Caracas, Venezuela, as an example. At Caracas, Morse Said, Secretary of State John Fos ter Dulles pushed through an an ti - Communism measure when what the people wanted was an economic policy. Stresses Economic Policy Morse put great importance on the United States' economic rela tion§ With 'her allies. "Their pop ulations are increasing by leaps and, bounds over ours," he said. Guatemala is receptive to Com munism- because the Communists knew what the people there want ed, Morse said. • Morse concluded the interview with - -two challenges for library "Find one great civilization that continued to climb (1) after it achieved• world leadership, fol lowed a course of economic na tionalism . . . and (2) after it had a break-even food supply." When a nation adopts a policy of economic nationalism, Morse said, "the, have-not nations" pres sure it. A more, than break-even supply .is also a requisite for su periority, he said,, but there are those today who are trying to curb the food surplus in the Uni ted •States and let it waste rather than find good uses for it. • Scofield Elected Scrolls President Nancy Scofield, sixth semester education major, has been elected president of Scrolls, senior wo men's hat society. Other officers elected were Gail Smith, vice president; Marie Wag ner, secretary; Elisabeth Engel, treasurer; and Joan. Packard, 'his torian.

Vacancies High At West Point West Point will have more va cancies than ever before in its 152-year history when this year's class graduates. The Army officers' school, which has a maximum enrollment quota of 2496 will have 1016 va cancies after graduation this year. Upon questioning, though, Army officials showed no surprise or concern over the situation and denied that it might be due to a current trend toward a smaller regular Army or to the congres sional investigations of the Army, according to the Associated Press. A postwar let-down and delay by congressmen in nominations are the two main reasons cited by officials for the large number of vacancies. West Point officials say they could find qualified candidates for the vacancies but they do not want to because they would be putting too great a burden on teaching staff, an AP release re ported. The academy usually ad mits 750 to 775 yearly.
