Dr. Woodard points out that Vermont population is on the increase despite Census Bureau predictions of a declining figure.

But this increase is accompanied by an 'astounding" decrease in farm population. While the total population increased 2 per cent from 1940 to 1950, the largest 10-year increase In a century, the farm population decreased by 23.1 per cent.

The recession did not affect women's employment as much, the service reported.

The number of companies coming to interview women were about the same in 1958 as in 1S57 and will be about the same this year. Salaries for women are expected to be slightly higher. Raps Preparation Beliveau said industry is looking for persons who can think logically, have enthusiasm for accomplishing things and can work and live with people. He said the universities are doing only aa adequate job la providing the leaders of tomorrow. He oaid colleges should put more emphasis on fundamentals and less on memorizing and should teach "why not what." Beauchamp said employers look for an aptitude or interest in a particular field, a willingness to work, and a basic philosophy of Our 110th Year will increasingly be threatened," lays Dr.

Woodard. "It Is extremely questionable If such towns can malntala them-selves," she says. "They will either trad lot their Importance to larger nearby towns else they must make every effort to Increase their economic significance and thus make eipansioa possible." Greatest population a se over the decade under study was in Chittenden County, where there were only 52.098 persons in 1940 but 62.570 in 19j0 an increase of 20.1 per cent. Density of population in the county jumped rom 97.7 persona per square mile to 117.7. "To date," Dr.

Woodard asserts, "due recognition has not been given this urban population throughout Vermont) in economic, social and political orientation in the atate."

The service said that about 95 companies and government agencies are due to come to UVM this year to interview prospective employes. The companies will begin coming Feb. 9 and will continue until spring vacation. Last year some 80 companies came to the campus, compared with 130 in 1957. The service said some companies make appointments to come as much as a year in advance.

Last year many companies canceled their appointment. "Before last year, a spokesman said, "the companies came clamoring for students. But 1958, due to the recession, was not like 1957." Many companies came last year just to maintain their relations with the university, the placement service said. The first announcement many of them made to students was that there would be very few openings. "One large corporation," the spokesman added, "said they were only taking tour people in the country." Last year some of the university's graduates did not have jobs at graduation time.

Most of these persons did get them during the summer, although the placement service said the jobs were not necessarily the ones the graduates wanted. The service figured that by autumn everyone had been placed. Salaries Rise The service pointed out that although jobs were fewer in 1958, salaries were as good as ever. Higher salaries are expected in 1959. Engineers biTe the best chance for getting jobs, the placement service said, but many companies art coming to look for sale personnel, co the liberal arts graduates will also find openings.

To Resume Recruiting Beauchamp said 1959 will be an "employes' market," and he believed many companies would come to the campus to interview students. Citing reports, Beauchamp said there would be an increase in jobs in the professional and service industries, in trade firms and In government posts. He said clr mists, physicists, economists, accountants, teachers and medical personnel would be much in drmand. The demand for sociologists would not be as great, he said, and the demand for engineers would increase but not as rapidly as a few years ago. There will be a greater opportunity for engineers prepared in many fields rather than in one, he noted.

He said there will be a demand for teachers and engineers in government posts. The trend has beea for aa increase la aon-productioa or white collar workers and a decrease la production workers, he added. Davis said the opportunity for state government jobs in the next two years is probably not as great. He cited aa "atmosphere of austerity la the budget for Vermont and the rest of New England and to a degree la New York State as the reason for this. He said that a few years ago government jobs were looked down upon and considered a last resort by job seekers.

He urged students interested in government work to take federal examinations. The federal government, be said, wants to hire as many potentially good career people as possible. 95 Recruiters Ei pec ted The university placement service said that By JOHN MULLIXS College students graduating in June will have an easier time finding a job than 1958 graduates, it was brought out at the University of Vermont this week. Panelists discussing the employment outlook for 1959 and the university's placement service agreed that the picture is brighter. Panelists in the discussion moderated by Prof.

Malcolm F. Severance of the UVM commerce and economics department were A.J. Beliveau of the IBM products development division, Poughkeepsie, N.Y.; Alfred Beauchamp, Rutland supervisor for the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Co and Norman Davis, state director of personnel. Bellveaa said employment opportunities after "dipping a little last year' are on the rise this year. He said 1959 graduates have a great deal of opportunity in technical fields and in positions for liberal arts students.

Predicts Boor.v He said he believes the United States is looking forward to a great economic boom. The 1958 recession is on the way out, he said, and the country's military preparedness program is "still going full blast." Other reasons cited by Beliveau for job opportunities were technical competition from abroad, including Sputniks and automobiles, and increased technical competition between companies in this country. He said It is ww essential for U.S. companies to produce at least one "rcTolutioaary device eWry year. Beliveau said he saw no great increase in the number of college graduates in the next few years, but did see a rise In the demand for graduates.

He said they wanted career people and are "not sure the top 19 per cent of a class will provide the type people they want.

He said scores on civil service examinations did not necessarily follow the person's standing in hi college class. He said liberal aria colleges would make a mistake if they attempted to develop skills on the undergraduate level that should better be taught a graduate school level.
