pointed out this situation last
week. They added that firms have
been more selective in their choice
of applicants.
Mrs. Katherine Kemper, director
of the University Placement Service, said that the typical applicant
has one job offer this year compared with five or six last year.
"The individual who is limited to
a certain locality is the hardest to
place now," she added.
The most distrsMiiK thine; about
the changed situation to Mrs.
Kemper is that the current graduates did not expect it and do not
know what to make of it. Some
begin to doubt themselves when
they have difficulties in finding a
job.

There have been no great number of cancelled interviews because
recruiters are lining men up, hoping that their firms' prospects will
brighten. ,
The demand for teachers is as
strong as ever, Mrs. Kemper said.
There are also a good many opportunities in sales, but the jobs
are not necessarily in this area.
- Mrs. Kemper hasn't noticed - an
appreciable drop in salaries. She
said that she is not sure that having a multitude of jobs to choose
from is the best situation for an
applicant, because in'this case his
choice is based solely on money.
Dr. Lucian Carter, director of
the Commerce Employment
Agency, said companies have postponed commitments to applicants.
The 'nuniber of interviews has not
dropped here, although they are
down throughout the country.
Students have two job offers
this year compared with five last
year, he said. There is no problem
in placing students with a high
academic Average, but students
who have just barely passed are

mainder should be placed.
Three alumni have asked re- placement in the past year, Dr.
Carter said. This indicates that
UK College of Commerce graduates
are not being laid off generally.
Opportunities are larger in gov- eminent service this year. There
is a shortage of accountants, secretaries and salespeople, Dr. Carter
said.

on any particular political administration, and certainly not
on the University itself. TheTsad but evident truth is that the
people, of Kentucky have not yet awakened to the need for
teachers.
The new University budget made possible increases in
$alary for many faculty members; Even so, a professor here
gets only as much for twelve months' work as professors at
many other state universities get in nine.
IT RESTS with the people specifically, the voters to take
action which will put this state's educational system in a com
petitive position. Only then will the University be able to
offer its faculty salaries which are concomitant with the im
portance of education.

The University faculty this week
adopted a - proposal which will
probably raise a great-h- ue
and
cry from students who are barely
staying off probation under present
academic requirements.
Jh?. new Program elevates the
standing required to .remain in
the University to a 2.0, with some
variations. When this change was
firt discussed, the Kernel pointed
out that more than 2,000 students
had ess tnan 20 averages last
semester.
in the light of these statistics,
the new ruling might seem des
tined to turn the campus into a
land.
We think not.
What it will mean is that a few
scholastic knuckles (and books)
are going to get cracked.
We are a state university, and
thus cannot set our entrance requirements as high as those of a
privately-endowe- d
school. The
only alternative is to weed out the
incompetents by requiring a relatively high overall standing in
order to stay in school.
The Kernel endorses Dean M. M.
White for introducing the new
measure and the faculty for approving it. It may well prove to
be an unpopular piece of legislation in some quarters notably
among its future casualties. We
may lose a little quantitative
ground, but we will certainly have
climbed a few rungs up the quanti
tative ladder in the meantime.

Derby Problems
From all appearances, the Little Kentucky Derby was a
much. bigger success this' year than last. This was probably
due to better planning and nnuh better publicity.
HOWEVER, there were certain Haws which stink out like
a sore thumb and the main ones were in connection with
the concert.
The Derby committee should have expected at least 1,000

Painful though it be, it must be admitted that this

While the editors are successful in putting on &ale an
excellent magazine, they must be criticized for failing
