The most prevalent factor con cerning the argument is, as I set it, that the Communist belief and doctrine marks capitalism and freedom as its target. The Com munist Manifesto states that capitalism and communism cari never survive in the same world in harmony and that they (the Communists) will never rest until they live in a Communist world. Should we recognize and deal with a nation sworn to conquer us, and should we admit them to an organization that just recently was at war with them?

Jobs Are Plentiful For University's June Graduates Jobs are looking for prospective university graduates again this year. The chief problem of the Place ment Bureau at the university is not finding employment, opportun ities for seniors, but in most fields, finding students to fill available positions. There are openings in every field for qualified personnel, but the recent demapd has been heav iest for engineers, scientific per sonnel, and teachers, Mrs. Ruth McVey, placement director, says. The bureau sponsors employer employee interviews on a year round basis, but the peak season is from the first of October to the end of April. During this period representatives from industry, government agencies, and educa tional institutions frequent the campus to recruit personnel. In many instances even seniors who expect to go into the military service are able to arrange for future positions. Private individuals as well as industries, business firms, and government groups list positions with the placement bureaus. The bureau offers its service to seniors and alumni without charge.
