NEW EMPLOYMENT BUREAU AT CALIFORNIA AIDS GRADUATES Berkeley, Cal., March 7.-With the establishment of a college employment bureau by the alumni association of the University of California, a prac- tical step has been taken to insure college graduates of work in which they have specialized. This branch of alumni activity will not be confined to the strictly busi- ness courses in business administra- tion, but it will also embrace the field of professional work and engineering. Letters have already been sent to all the members of the senior classes, and many have accepted positions. Together with the alumni bureau of employment there is also an informa- tion exchange, in which the outgoing classes can secure the advice and judgment of business men, concerning those lines of work for which they are best fitted. . ,. i iii111 y t ' " i I R % -a .. r....+. i.

Wild Co., Leading Merchant Tailor~ State Stt tf 0t11 STATE UNIVERSITY HEAD I!TES SUPPORT OF PRESIDENT Columbus, O., Mar. 7.-- Comparing the present situation to the one exist- ing before the Spanish war, President Thompson of Ohio State university to- day told the freshman cadets that is was their bounden duty to stand by President Wilson in the present crisis. In his address, President Thompson, declared that the White House is not rushing us into war, but that President Wilson is merely waiting, as was President McKinley prior to the break with Spain. In this opinion, he believes that the delay is merely to concentrate a munition, and that the government is preparing for any eventualities that may follow.
