cording to Joe M. Galloway, direc
tor of the UNC Placement Service.'
Galloway estimates that employ
ment is down 20 per cent from last
year, primarily because there are
fewer openings per company.
The Placement director stated
however that his figures were ne
cessarily incomplete at this time
since students are still in the pro
cess of being interviewed and have
not been able to give his office a
final report.
Through April 30, the UNC Place
ment office has been
300 hirings as compared to 336
hirings at the same time last year.
The Placement Service has noted
an increase in student registration J
with the office during the last year J
and attributes this increase to the j
stiffer competition in finding jobs.
"We have had fine response from j
the students." Galloway said. The !

creased. For example. Galloway mention
ed one company which reported in
February of this year that their ac
ceptance ratio had gone to 85 per
cent. Last year's ration was only
40 per cent.
Speaking of military service, Gal
loway said he expects more male
graduates to enter the service im
mediately after college this year.
In his opinion men will decide to
get their military training behind
them in the hope that the job situa
tion will improve in the coming
notified of I months.
Salary figures have remained
roughly the same as last year's,
Galloway said. Figures for a sample
of 100 A.B. and B.S. graduates
seeking their first jobs average
about $3 less than last year, al
though they have gone up slightly
in North Carolina.

FIGHT FOR FACULTY - PART IV
The Wage Of Stipends Marks
Struggle For Top Graduates
Ity I'RINGI.K PIPKIN'
Thi is the fourth in a series
concerning the prospective facul
ty member' choice of an insti
tution. The graduate school and the
quality of its members is often im
portant to a professor when he con
sidcr the institution whose offer
he will accept.
One member of the physics de
partment commented that research
in that field was not just what a
man can accomplish by himself but
depends also on the quality of the
graduate assistants and the equip
ment. The graduate students are re
search assistants in many other
fields.
"The opportunity to teach, super
vise and develop good graduate
students Is one of the principal non
monetary rewards of a good facul
ty member," Dean Lee of the
School of Business Administration
slated.
In some of the survey courses of
the humanities departments the

graduate students aid the professors
in grading the papers. In the field
of science they conduct laborator
ies.. Some arc employed as part
time instructors.
Third of Faculty '
However, the most important as
pect of the graduate program is
that, according to Dr. Godfrey,
dean of the faculty, one third of
the University's faculty comes from
its graduate students.
It is. therefore, a necessity to
get and keep the highest quality of
graduate students. As universities
across the nation realize this fact,
competition for the best graduate
students is often as intense as that
for the best professors.
Dr. Kuntsmann, chairman of the
Department of Germanic Lan
guages, explained that formerly
graduate stipends (a form of schol
arship) were awarded mostly as
an honor and were not expected to
finance the living costs of a student.
He went on to say that now it had
become necessary to think in high
er terms because if a school did
rot have the stipends it would not
be able to get the (best) students.
Speaking of the School of Busi

Dr. Teller explained that science
is a series of puzzles, each a part
of the whole of scientific knowl

solution on the less complex prob

dealt with.
In the course of his lecture, Dr.

"With these thoughts in mind all

The University of North Carolina

Part-time instructors get $1,800

Seniors engaged in enrolling

campus-wide effort, according to
Jerry Oppenheimer, co-chairman
of the '58 alumni drive committee.
"To date we are greatly encour
aged by the response of seniors
to the invitations of committeemen
to join the Alumni Association.
Several of the solicitors have al
ready indicated 100 enrollment

Oppenheimer said.
The Alumni Office states that
Jimmy Garrell who solicited the
seniors of Chi Phi, men's social

to report 100 enrollment to the
Association's headquarters in the
Carolina Inn.
The week-lonsr solicitation of
seniors began last Wednesday and
extends throuhg Wednesday, May
14, deadline for solicitors to report
results of their solicitations.
No quota of memberships has
been set by the committee. The
drive's objective, according to Op

senior knows about the work of
the Association and is personally
invited to join.
He pointed out that to join now

obligation to continue membership
after the first year. He added,
however, thtt many recent gradu
