similar organizations are full of
opportunities. There is a real need
for more nurses at tne present time,
and mcdioal groups are urging col
lege graduates to become trained
nurses, particularly in the fields of
therapy and public health.
Personnel work—industrial, busi
ness, selling, and student—has many
openings, but in most eases this
type of work requires advanced
training. Other chances for exper
ience before graduate work are
found in such positions as W. C.
A. secretary, pastor’s assistant, and
director of religious education.
In the business world, merchan
dising is a coming field. Big depart
ment stores will give college grad
uates for six months’ training in
the line. There are fine opi>ortunitios
here for girls with interior decora
tion interests.
Publishing companies are anxious
for Knglish majors. Advertising is a
growing field f»or those interested in
commercial art and writing. Teach
ing and library science are among
those profession in which there are
shortages.
Math majors are being employed
by banks and by accounting agen
cies. For those who speak a foreign
language fluently there are posi
tions as translators for airlines,
banks, and big companies with fore
ign branches.
Women proved themselves valu
able in the field of science during
the war, and though the demand for
women in science has somewhat de
creased since the men are return
ing, there are still several scientific
pursuits with many openings. Among
these are medical technology, phy
sics, bacteriology, laboratory tech
nology, electrical engineering. Tele
phone companies especially need
physicists, chemists and engineers.
After Qraduation,
Then What?
by Betsy Casteen
Graduation is not a big step for
ward. It is ten steps taken back
wards in defeat. There comes at
this time the sudden reali/.ation that
four years of college has produced a
bewildereil individual, incapable of
performing a task without the
stiuiulns of an exam or, what’s
more important, unable to si'cure a
spouse. The later is by far the
ino-t bewildering fact. It is the
tiagic culmination of a four year
dream. .V freshman enters college
with no particular course in mind,
only the optimistic jilan of making
a satisfactory marriage in .lun‘ of
the graduation year. Her ]>rocrasti-
ni'tion begins. For the freshman,
after ending the year with no
pr/)spects for the future, puts off
Bihimes and hopes until the sojjlio-
more year. And so it goes until the
senior year. The senior who up until
the senior year has looked forward
with diminishing hope to graduation,
which in reverie would be more than
likely lead to matrimony, suddenly
liegins to talk about a little more
education. The freshman can’t be
lieve it. The sophomore loses faith
in human nature. But the juniors are
a little more symjiathitic.
This post-graduate work is inevi-
talj’e. 'I'he senior discovers that the
in;‘jor subject is the one in which
the highest marks were made the
irishman year. Whei\ examinel the
senior year, the course just natul-al-
ly d.oesn't lead to a \yorth while
career, which by this time has be-
ciime the determined destination.
Who wants to change diapers in
a day nursery or make up the lead
ing character in a home town play?
Thus another year in college must
be arranged, not only to jircpare
for a new jirobable single life but
also to have one last look for a
Prince Charming. This action the
psychologists would term as either
sublimation or a natural and most
intelligent step toward one of the
basic desires, security.
The college senior knows better.
It is simply a inan-liunt of the
highest degree. What ever it may be,
the fate determined course fools the
majority. The proud parents speak
of the high ambition which has re-
i.;:!ined in the family through the
d-iHghtcr. The professors by turn
])ride themselves on having changed
the impossible student into an in
telligent citizen. The victimized
student only hopes that something
will turn up between June, after
graduation, and the following Sep
tember.

According to a recent Science
X'ews Letter, there ueed be no wor
ries in the future about the practi
cability of buying a wool suit for
warm or hot weather. All wool suits
for hot weather, and warmer winter
wool suits of lighter weight than
present clothing, are predicted with
in a year by use of a new textile
chemical. This chemical, which al
so controls shrinkage, is a develop
ment of the Monsanto Chemical
Company in St. Louis. When tested,
it held shrinkage to less than 27
degrees after five washings of a
treated wool shirt in soap and
water.
The wool yarn, treated with the
chemical, which will be known as
Eesoom, is capable of giving ‘‘cool
ness” to woolen fibers. It also gives
smoothness and flatness to the
cloth instead of the ‘ ‘ Hill-and-
valley” contours of ordinary w.oolen
weaves.
Resloom is used to control shrink-
age, wrinkle resistance, and crease
retention. It can also be used with
rayon and cotton. To these fabrics it
gives a smooth finish and better
wearability. A scientist of a chemi
cal company states, “R'esloom makes
possible a dress which does not bulge
in the wrong places after it has
been worn a few times.”
