More, Government Jobs
Put Under Civil Service
Young people with specialized governmental training
may expect an increase in state and federal jobs available
to them.
According to Dr. John H. Ferguson, professor of political
science and director of the newly-established Institute of
Public Administration, the in
crease in available jobs is due to
revised civil service laws and a
more unbiased selection of em-

Government positions are now
being given on the basis of pro
fessional talent rather, than po
litical influence. In Pennsylvania
10,000 professional and technical
jobs have been put under Civil
Service Board control.
"But in spite of the advance,
two-thirds of our state jobs are
stilt a matter of patronage,"
Ferguson said. In contrast, the
Federal Government now has
about 90 per cent of all its posi
tions under Civil Service con
trol.
Ferguson believes that the pub
lic today depends upon the gov
ernment for vital services, and
will demand good performance
from its representatives in office.

not be used for educational pur
poses, according to Dennis.
If permission to use channel 3,
which is very high frequency,
were obtained, programs could be
broadcast a distance of 75 miles.
The broadcasting tower would be
jlocated on Rattlesnake Mountain,
'l2 miles north'east of Philipsburg
iand 40 miles from State College.
I FCC regulations do not permit
I more than one channel 3 within
ja 200 mile radious; but the FCC
I did not assign channel 3 in this
area and the University could use
jit, Dennis said.
! When work can gel underway
on this project depends on the
initial financing and cost of op
eration, he said. The General
Stale Authority would have to
provide funds, and one of the
buildings on campus would
have to be converted for broad
casting, he added.
A committee consisting of rep
resentatives from Pennsylvania
schools drew up a plan in 1950
for a state-wide educational TV
network linking Pittsburgh, Erie,
University Park, Harrisburg and
Philadelphia, but the plan did
not receive support in Harris
burg.
Dennis said this plan "hasn’t
:been pressed particularly in_ the
hast five years.” The committee
!is now inactive.
Each area has attempted to fur
ther educational television local
ly. “It has become a community
[affair,’’ according to Dennis,
j “Since a network is impossible,
leach area looks to its own needs.”

ANOTHER YEAR, ANOTHER DOLLAR
Today I begin my sixth year of writing this column for the
makers of Philip Morris and Marlboro Cigarettes. For this I
get money.
Not, let me hasten to state, that payment is necessary. “Sirs,”
I said a few days ago to the makers of Philip Morris and Marl
boro, “if I can introduce America’s college men and women to
Philip Morris and Marlboro, and thus enhance their happiness,
heighten their zest, upgrade their gusto, magnify their cheer,
and broaden their bliss, there is no need to pay me because I am
more than amply rewarded.”
We wept then. I’m not ashamed to say it. WE WEPTI I
wish the wiseacres who say big business is cold and heartless
could have been there that day. I wish they could have seen
the great, shimmering tears that splashed on the board room
table. We wept, every man jack of us. The makers wept—the
secretaries wept—l wept—my agent, Clyde Greedy, wept. We
wept all.
.“No, no!” cried the makers. “Wc insist on paying you,’!
“Oil, very well,” I said, and the gloom passed like a summer
shower. We iauglied and we lit Philip Morrises and Marlboros—
and some of us lit Alpines—which is a brand-new cigarette from
the makers of Philip Morris and Marlboro—a fine new cigarette
with a light touch of menthol and the rich taste of choice tobaccos
and the longest filter yet devised. And if you are one who likes
a fine new cigarette with a light touch of menthol'and the rich
taste of choice tobaccos and the longest filter yet devised, you
would do well to ask for new king-size Alpines. If, on the other
hand, you do not like menthol but do like better niakin’s and
a filter that does what it’s built for, ask for Marlboro. Or, if you
don’t like filters at all, but only mildness, ask for Philip Morris.
Any way you play it, you’re a winner.
But I digress. “Will you," said the makers of Philip Morris,
Mailboro and Alpine, “write about the important issues that
occupy the supple young minds of college America this year in
your column?”
“But of course,” I replied, with a kindly chuckle,
“And will you,” asked the makers, “from time to time say a
plea&ant word about Philip Morris, Marlboro and Alpine?”
“Crazy kids!” I said with a wry grin, pushing my fist
gently against their jaws. “You know I will."
And we all shook hands—silently, firmly, tnanlily. And I left,
dabbing my eyes with my agent, and hurried to the ncasest
typewriter. ® 1959 *<»> ssuimu
The makers of Philip Morris, Marlboro and Alpine take great
pleasure in bringing you another year of this uncemored,
free-wheeling column.
