The employment of graduates
from Arizona State College was
the main topic of discussion dur
ing the lawnology hour. Oawn-
ology is colloquial for idle time ex-
pended in groups lounging about
the campus0 It seems the greater
number. of students are majoring
in education, and are deeply con-
cerned about a future for them
selves. If the present trend OF
teacher employment is to continue,
a B. A.\degree will mean only ex-
tradition papers for the graduate.
Apparently our public school sys-
tenn does not concur with the deci-
sion of the American Institute of
College Administration, who have
classified our college as a grade A
institution of higher education, for
when the need of teachers arise
they have to be imported from
other states. Many permanent res
idents of Arizona whose qualifica-
tionS are outstanding for work in
secondary schools, and some have
been professors in colleges, are left
in the elementary grades, instead
of moving them into the secondary
system and create job opportuni-
ties for the professional recruit.
The students mind can't vision
reasons why they are not given
more consideration. I can't either.
Can you? The act of fair employ
ment practice seems archaic. Why
should farmer grow corn and buy
the product elsewhere? AS future
members of the teaching profession
are they to be neglected and over
looked? Is their fate to be destin-
ed by favoritiism and corrupt sedi-
ments that have become weeded to
our existing educational system? I
wonder.
COOLER DAYS and cooler
nights are the forerunner of fall.
Fall has always been a connotation
of fashion. Last year it was the
new look. This year remains a
major question. A survey of male
opinions reveal them reluctant to
comment upon what women will
wear this year. They expect any,
thing from hooped skirts and bus
ties, high top buttoned shoes, para
soils of silk and lace, and headgear
of all imaginable types to antici-
pated apparel of the 25th century.
Women have always and shall con-
tinue to be unpredictable as far as
dress goes. = /
They tell me male fashions are
in for a decided change. Rumor
has it some color blind creator of
mans wear has included an array
of color in his conception of what
the well dressed man will wear,
gold shoes, fusha slacks, etc. No
doubt some men of intestinal for
titude shall preview for the women
this fall. Don't laugh girls.
What has this to do with Col
lege? If you could only see.
LAST WEEK I SPOKE of per-
sonal introductions of our new STU
dents enrolled this semester at A..
S. C. One who has great possibili-
ties of becoming an Olympic gold
medal winner is young man from
Los Angeles, Calf. Our ambitious
and conscientious track mentor,
Dan Kingle, saw the performance
of this athlete and awarded him a
scholarship to don the colors of
maroon and gold on the cinderpath
this forthcoming season. This
youth has won the California State
Championship 440 yard dash in a
record breaking time of ATT. He
has been acclaimed as a product
of champions. Keep your eyes upon
