An Associated Press survey of' company officials and college placement directors found that the draft, the rush to graduate schools and the boom in jobs left recruiters far short of the men they needed. "This has been one of the toughest years in recent history from the employer's standpoint," said Bill Herman, U.S. Steel Corp. college relations director in Pitts- burgh.

"Al- so, draft pressure is causing many to continue graduate work to de- lay going into service." Michael Doland, Seattle Univer- sity placement director, says the competition for students was heavier this year because of the draft and because of the business growth in the Seattle area.

Student k* Advisors To Aid Malasia With Study The Univer sity has agreed to furnish "advisors'' to the govern- ment of Malaysia to help that country solve its population prob- lems through a program of popu- lation planning. Ariffin Mairzuki of the Mala ysia Family Planning Board is meeting with University officials to work out the details of the arrange- ment. According to him, Malaysia is the first nation to take official action on this problem of over- crowding. The population growth of Ma-z laysia, 3.2. is about double that of the United States. Ariffin at- tributed this growth to a rapidly declining death rate brought about by improved health condi- tions and a high birth rate. The University scientists and ROBERT SCII statisticians who will be leaving! for Malaysia this summer are Ralph Ten Have, James Palmore, Allan Schnailberg and Christo- pher Langford. ea (, The project is being aided by a grant of $190,000 from the Ford Foundation. This will be shared : with an associate group, the Pop- ulation Studies Center, also at the University.

The action comes in the wake of an announcement by Wayne State University that it is re- leasing the information this year, but not next. No indication has been given by the University about future policy on the matter. The University's announcement comes at a time when most of its undergraduate students are on vacation. Therefore it is sending letters explaining the policy to the home addresses of the stu- dents, hoping that as many as possible will be able to respond by July $. University officials said the de- cision was only reached recently, after a meeting with Michigan Selective Service officials. Up to that time, University officials had been in the dark about what selective service expected from them. There was apparently no wNritten communication between the ad- ministration and selective service officials. At the meeting between the two groups, University officials learned the selective service au- thorities were expecting the Uni- versity to forward grades and class rankings. The administration was told that local boards in Michigan would be reviewing student defer- ments at the end of July, and decided to send the information in by that time. Normally selective service in- forms the individual student that the information is being requested, and he asks the school to forward it. In this case it is up to the school. Michigan State University has already informed its students and is forwarding the information. "We must do this to protect the student's deferment," said Vice- Prfesident for Academic Affairs Allan F. Smith, in announcing the 'decision. This does not represent a change in University policy.

But he also found striking concern for the Vietnamese people and the problem of their freedom. Scheer, who is also foreign af- fairs editor for Ramparts Maga- zine, said that he himself is hos- tile "toward Communism as a system of government," though he often used the analogy of Ameri- can intervention in Viet Nam be- ing similar to Russian intervention in Hungary in 1956. He expressed no fear, however, of having been hurt through "guilt by association." He noted, that among his campaign workers were members of the Communist party. "Anyone," said Scheer, "could work on my campaign so long as he believed and would express what I was trying to get across to the voters." Scheer found his campaign de- moralized by objections and criti- cisms which included accusations of his having "sold-out" to the Democratic party. "Had it been possible for me to get on the bal- lot as an independent candidate,' he said, "I would have." Many opposed him by arguin that electoral politics should floe spontaneously from the communi ty. Scheer countered with claim; that his campaign had receivec definite impetus from the commu nity and was based in the poli- tical climate at-Berkeley. Scheer felt that although h( was defeated, he had scored ai "enormous success." He claime( that it was "not easy to vote fo: him" because he was more tha just a "peace candidate." He al. luded, for example, in his cam paign to the problems of Negroe by saying that "the status qu would be more costly than i 'Watts' in Oakland."
