Job
Through Placement
UNC graduates received and accepted more offers of jobs during
the past year, ending Sept., 1955, than they did the previous year,
according to Joe M. Galloway, director of placement.
In an annual report just released, Galloway said there have been
increases in number of companies '
interviewing on campus, number
of jobs reported by letter and tele-
phone, number of students placed
and higher starting salaries. He '
said 178 different organizations
visited the . campus last year in.

ing for employment.
The fields where the employer's
requests numbered 20 or more are
are follows: Sales, 223; accounting,
178; general business, 158; chem
istry 79, production, 58; person
nel, 55; retailing 31; banking and
finance, 28 and social work, 23.
PLACEMENT SERVICE
A total of 4G0 students found
jobs through the UNC Placement
Service this past year as compared
to 412 the previous year. Over
half of the students wrho register-
ed with the Placement Service (
found jobs through that agency, j
The remainder of the graduates j
either had employment before
finishing school, were not seeking
employment or continued in grad
uate work.
Galloway's annual report also
shows that almost twice as many J
draft-eligible men, were employed
this past year as were in the prev
ious year. Sixty-three non veterans,
most of them single, none know

dent students accepted jobs in
North Carolina. This was a drop
from the 78 percent who remained
jn their home state last 3 ear.' On
the other hand, North Carolina
kept 25 percent of the out-of-state
students this year as compared
with only nine percent last year.
SALARIES
The average beginning monthly
salary for students holding bache
lor's degrees was $298 for men and
$233 for women. The average for
those with master's degrees was
$353 for men and $286 for women.
The students who received a Ph.D.
degree went to work for an aver
age of $485.
The fact that many of the na-
tive North Carolina students are
leaving the state after graduation
is often deplored; however, this
situation is not as bad as statistics
may show, said Galloway's report,
REASONS
There are varied reasons for this
exodus, he said. The fields in which
a large proportion of these stu
dents go "out-of-state are college
teaching, insurance, production,
sales and science. It is generally
considered best for a professor to
get his start in a college other than
the one he attended; home office

men return home after a training

Although the exact details as to
how entries will be handled have
not been worked out yet, Burleson

well as individual competition,

THE 'A' RATING IS GONE: IN ITS PLACE,
... inspectors cite garbage, roaches, cleaning,
ALL STRAIGHTENED OUT NOW PRILLAMAN
enoir
By BILL CORPENING
Lenoir Hall's health rating has
been dropped from an A to a B,
but Manager G. W. Prillaman
says the main reason is prob
ably inexperienced dishwashers.
"We were straightened out a
few hours after the inspectors
left," he said.
The new rating was given to
the University-run cafeteria aft
er an inspection last week by
Jessie Cannaday, district -sana-tarian
for the State Board of
Health, and H. Dobson Jr.,
health inspector for . Orange
County7
According to Dr. O. David
Garvin, district health officer,
'Rainmaker
Tonight For
"The Rainmaker," a
romantic
about farm life in the west, opens
tonight at 8:30 in the Flaymaker
Thcatere.
The play, - by Richard Nash, is
lirected by Harvey Whetstone of
the Playmakers staff. It has been
successful on Broadway and on
tour, and will run through Sun
day. . Set in a drought-stricken area
in the west, the play revolves
around a plain young spinster
Lizzie Curry, played by Louise
Fletcher. Lizzie's father and twJo
brothers, played by James Sech
rest, Charles Barrett and Bill Cas
stevens, are trying hard to find a
husband for her. The curent pros
pect is woman-shy Deputy File,
played by Ken Lowry.
When James Heldman, as a
charming young con-man named
Starbuck, promises the desperate
family rain within 24 hours, they
agree to pay him the $100 he asks
for this miracle. Here, the compli
cations set in. Starbuck falls for
Lizzie, and wants to take her away
with him, and change her plain
name to Melisande. He admits to
her that he is a phony, but gives
her a new faith in herself. "When
you said you were ' pretty, Lizzie,
you were," he tells her.
At this point, the elusive de
puty wakes up, and realizes he too
wants to marry Lizzie. Where Star
buck says he will change her, File
insists that she must stay the same.
In her quandry, she 'is comforted
by her father's words: "Remember,
Lizzie, you've been asked. You'll
never have to go through life a
woman who ain't been, asked."
In spite of all this confusion
and fraud, the play ends happily.
Lizzie solves her problems, and
Starbuck's claims .of being a "rain

Lenoir Hall has maintained an
A rating for many years. Dr.
Garvin recalled one instance
when the cafeteria was tem
porarily closed to undergo a gen
eral clean-up. A survey taken
last spring showed that every
eating establishment in Chapel
Hill except two held A ratings.
The two were the Cafe Mouza,
which held a B rating, and the
Vot Grill, which maintained a
C rating.
Dr. Garvin listed the following
as the basic reasons for the fall'
in Lenoir Hall's rating:
(1) Problems in garbage dis
posal; (2) Presence of, roaches;
(3) Faulty cleaning; (4) Absences

'I'LL RISE OR FAIL WITH MY ROOMMATE'
Student Party Adopts
Harrington Threatens
By NEIL BASS
The Student Party announced its
campaign platform at a meeting
Monday night Keynoted by the
threatened resignation of Chair
man Bob Harrington.
Chairman Harrington apparently
became distrubed early in the ses
sion at some Advisory Board re
commendations." He asserted that
he was "sick and tired" of the
board's telling the party what to
do. It is "undemocratic," he said,
for one small group to tell the
party proper how to "conduct"
anything.
His temper really broke loose,
however, later in the session when
his roommate, John Black, who
was running for party treasurer,
ran into some serious opposition
from Chris Douty. Harrington had
previously appointed 'Black finan
cial coordinator for the campaign,
and said he "felt" that to unify
matters, the party treasurer and
campgain financial coordinator
ought to be one and the same
person. .
RESIGN
When numerous party members
appeared to go against the chair
man's wishes and throw their sup
port to Douty, Harrington left the
presiding chair and told the party:
"Party disunity has been carried
to the extreme tonight ... If
you'all refuse to elect John Black,
I'll resign. This is a vote of con
fidence for my government. I'll
rise or fall with .my. roommate."

Dr. Garvin pointed out that
the drop in rating, is . "not a
black eye on Lenoir Hall." lie
said "basically" the sanitation at
Lenoir Hall is "good.", He laid
the cause of the. fall to be, due
to an inspection at ."an unfortu
nate time" and to an "accumula
tion of incidents." ' .. - ;
i i "I feel certain that all correc
' tlohs have already been made,"
he remarked.' - ' '
I ; Prillaman said that, in reac
tion to 'the: :new. ratings he. was
surprised." Prillaman- said he
considered the main reason for
the fall to be due to "the ' loss
of 10 points on account of dishes
not thoroughly cleaned, which
Was due to new and inexperi
enced dishwashers." . , -
Prillamar. maintained that Le
noir Hall's health rating was now
A, if not officially. He said "we
were simply caught with inex
perienced dishwashers. We were
straightened out- within two
hours after the inspectors left."
Prillaman added that "a perfect
rating is hard to get."
Brooreau gave Larry McElroy two
proxy votes, which evidently were
for Black. Bill Wolfe challenged
the "validity" 'of these ballots, and
this led to another heated, argu
ment on voting eligibility.
Black got the treasurer's., post
by a narrow margin. But several
party members seemed to be very
disturbed by Harrington's coer
cion." "I have never seen an attempt
to influence a vote like this," Tom
Lambeth told the group. "I came
up here tonight favoring ' Chris
Douty, but I was put . in a position
that forced me to vote for John
Black," he said.
Miss Pat McBane, party' secre
tary, and Miss Donna Ashcraft,
party vice-president, attempted to
address talks to the party at the
meeting's end, but matters were
so disunificd and confused that
adjournment was moved before
matters became even more chaotic.
PLATFORM
Before the session developed in
to a veritable row, the party de
cided on these; items for platform
planks:
(1) The establishment of a con
tingency fund for the repair of
TV sets and -washing machines in
the dorms, to be supported through
allocation of profits from vending
machines in the individual dormi
tories. (2) The placing' of -benches in
front of dorms for students' use,
pleasure and comfort,
