Golfing As A College Sport

It is golfing time agai n and the fairways are waiting for the trod of spiked shoes.

Th is article co ncerns those unfor­tunate students w ho have not yet felt the lure of go lf. There is only one way to remedy this sad condi ­tion- get in to the game. To anyone who has never played and who still looks with scorn o n gol f, it can on l_y be sa id , get out somewhere and h,t just one ball. .

The prime r_equisite _for the be­ginning go lfer ,s enthusiasm: All. he h as to do is to make up his mind that every young student shou ld lea rn to play at least a fair game; then go to it. Get out on the course and fu n begins. ·

When · it comes to the matter of enjoyment out in the open air you can 't b_eat a walk with one of your best fne nds over a springy turf on a pleasant chase after a strange, e lusive white bal l.

COMPANY Since 1863

6 THE POINTER

"tA,11 Around" Students Have Placement Edge

All around students, especially those who worked their way through college, have a better chance of get­ting a job after graduation than the campus hero or the college _"grind "", accordi ng to King 1erdt't, ,·ice president of lm·estors Syndicate. of M inneapolis.

Athletes and beauties, unlike a few years ago, are not being sought unles they ca n offer to their pros­pective employers some substantial qualities, such as character, schol­arship, adaptability, leadership or personality. a sut,·ey of 186 Ameri­can co lleges and universities reveals.

Although the job outlook for col­lege gradu,tes is brighter than in either 1938 or 1937, America n em­ployers are more exacting in their requirements, preferring employees capable of being developed in to ex­ecutives within the next decade over those who s~em to have decided lim­itations.

Character Rated High

character 90.7 pe r cent, schol arsh· 89.1 per cent, adaptabi lit y 6-1 .3 er cent , campus popularity 31.8 per cent, persona lity 25.6 per cent, ath­letic prowes 22.5 per cent, leader ­ship 17.8 per cent, and extra-cur­

ricular activities, which includes out­

side jobs to pay one's way through college 14 per cent.

Officials Explain Preference

"The 186 institutions gave schol­arship 88.7 per cent and character

83.9 per cent of the tota l mentions.

The 43 men's colleges gave scholar­ship 93 per cent and characte r 74.4

per cent. Where scho larship ranked ahead of character, university place­ment officers frequently aded such explanations as ·good character is

assumed', or ·good character is ex­pected' ,' or 'character always is taken for granted'. One bureau head re­

ported employers demanding stu­dents whosi: education 'had develop­

ed a true philosophy of life.' "An appointment official of a

nonsecta rian college wrote: ·1 have found a very pronounced trend to­

ward and more emphasis on charac­ter, including a preference for a re­ligious background.'

Pre-med: " Where a re you work­ing these days?"

Wisconsin ·Coeds rink 210 Cokes

There are over 3,000 co-eds at Wisconsin.

In a typica l year the average girl would have c1uite a round of activi ­ties to cover. She would have 210 quarts of "coke" to imbibe, and 20 pounds of ca nd y to ruin her com­plex ion with not to mention 20 feet of gum to chew.

Seven and a half days would be squandered in the movies and 55 days devoted to studies to compen­sate for the 99 classes cut.

Preparing for her 80 days of dates, she would sleep l 15 days for beauty, spend three days putti ng her hair up, and 16 combing· it, bathe 90 hours ,and zip 1,000 zippers.

She ,s>ould o..lso turn dow n 125 dates, receive five declarations of tender sen timents, a11d be the ob­ject of 50<1 kisses (these statistics in­cluded several " steadies"), which transaction would speed the yearly consumpt ion of six. inches of li p­stick.

Besides these pursuits, she would spend 13 days cli ngiw_; to a tele­phone. In the chasc..-1'3\ the oppo­site sex she wou ld annihil ate 50 pairs of stockings, abso rb two

pounds of cold cream, and buy a quart of " My Sin" o r " Moonlight Madness" pe rfume.

"Character as a prime qualifica­tion for a job," explained Mr. Mer­ritt in reporting on total replies, " was mentioned by 103 schools, scholarship by-29, persona lity by 18, ada ptabi li ty by 12 and leadership by 6.
