He gives a More than 40 per cent of all 200 were looking for natural science graduates, mainly in mathematics, physics and chemistry. Almost 40 per cent sought business administration majors. The rest were interested in liberal arts and humanities graduates.

Morgan graduates in 1964 took jobs with salaries as low as $4,800 and as high as $9,300. "All the evidence points to the breaking down of many traditional barriers of discrimination," Mr. Bond feels in pointing to the civil rights revolution. "Companies are finally realizing it this has all happened so fast. Before this, students here didnt have this experience." But many of Morgan's 300 graduated seniors this year have taken or are considering taking the managament training, research, office and other jobs being offered.

Typical Companies Mr. Bond reports he won't have final statistics on the after-graduation status of the class of 1964 for several months. But he gave a picture of what the recruiters had to offer. Typical companies that came to Morgan were Western Electric, Ford Motor Compay, IBM, Prudential Life Insurance Company, Eastman Kodak Company, Philadelphia Gas Works Company, Proctor Gamble, Esso Standard Oil Company, Colgate Palmolive, J. M.

Huber Company and the Atlantic Refining Company.

Both school and industry then have a better idea of each other.

Tremendous Increase But during the past academic practices. For instance, ourj teacher placement has generally been excellent, but many of our school systems in Maryland are very slow or reluctant to hire Negroes.

While others had to turn recruites away, Morgan planned ahead and has a room placement office in its new administration building. "There will be more and more' irMnctripe tnrnintf fnr Iflrctpr quarters popular, to say to hell with the Allies, but Senator Goldwater is not saying that. He is genuinely, almost passionately, as devoted to the North Atlantic Alliance as he is determined to weaken and. dismember the Communist world, but he is proposing policies which most students of world affairs feel would break up the Alliance and maybe even unify the divided Chinese and Soviet Communists.

An election is, or should be, not merely a review of the past, but a bet on the future, not simply a definition of ends but a statement of the means to those ends. The President and the Senator do not really differ about the objectives of policy. Like the statesmen and prophets of old, from Isaiah to Karl Marx, they look forward to the Golden Age when there will be peace and prosperity, liberty, justice and brotherly love. The Roads Differ "About the ideal goal of human effort," Aldous Huxley wrote years ago, "There exists in our civilization, and for nearly 30 centuries there has existed, very general agreement. Not so with regard to the roads which lead to that goal.

Here unanimity and certainty give place to utter confusion, to the clash of contradictory opinions, dogmatically held and acted upon with the violence of fanaticism." The danger in all the current ideological talk Is that it will divert the mind of the country from the practical to the theoretical, from what is attainable to what is merely desirable. So far, Goldwater's policy definitions have been a little like the President's definition of the qualities he's looking for in a Vice Presidential running mate. Johnson told the press yesterday he wanted "an attractive, prudent, progressive man of the people who could handle the duties of the Vice Presidency and the Presidency, who was experienced in foreign and domestic affairs, who was able to get along with the President, the Congress and the Cabinet and capable of being well received in all of the states of the Union among all of our people." This, of course, is a definition of a saint, and it's no wonder he later ruled out Bobby Kennedy, Shriver, Rusk, McNamara, Freeman and Stevenson. But it was typical of much of the debate so far, for it has dealt not with practicalities but with ideals, and one day fairly soon, it will have to come down to reality. Newt Service Washington The average American voter never had it so good or felt so bad as he does today, and this paradox is now dominating the Presidential campaign.

President Johnson is telling him he's in clover, and Senator Goldwater is telling him he's in trouble, and since both are true, the poor fellow is naturally confused. Part of the confusion lies in the fact that the two candidates are talking across one another. Gold-water is talking ideology and Johnson is talking policy; the President is concentrating on what he thinks is attainable, and the Senator on what he thinks is desirable. In this situation, it might be useful if they got down to the hard questions, not about why the country feels so good and so bad at the same time, but what they propose to do about the Negro demonstrations, the insecurity of the streets, the shortage of jobs, the growth and chaos of the cities, the war in Vietnam, the disunity of the alliance and the constant probings of the Communists. Which Would Be Effective? It is easy enough to demonstrate that these things are a nuisance and even a menace, but the question the voter has to answer is not whether he would like them all to go away, but whether the policies proposed by Goldwater are more likely to deal with them more effectively than the policies offered by Johnson.

For example, Senator Goldwater can easily decry the race riots and make a powerful constitutional argument that the race problem should be left to the states, but does anyone seriously believe that racial tension would be eased if he were free to put his constitutional theories into practice tomorrow? Similarly, the Senator is undoubtedly right in saying that the Western Alliance is disunited, but be cannot point to a single statesman in the Western world who believes that the-Allies would unite behind his policies. Theoretically, he may be right that the Alliance needs a stronger, bolder anti-Communist policy, and that the Communists would submit to our pressure if only we had the guts to apply pressure, but the practical fact, which even his most ardent supporters cannot deny, is that every one of the Allies regards unity of the Alliance and coexistence with the Communists as inseparable. Emotionally, of course, it is easy, and in some New York Timet Mr. Bond, that "one of our big problems is to convince the stu ment was also lagging, and is now pulling itself up by its bootstraps."

The red-headed lady was taped to the side of a nearby instrument case amid thousands of dollars worth of electronic equipment She showed up a few feet away on a television screen. It was all in the cause of science. But for a more scientific application, an engineer turned the peeper toward a darkened model moon base within the elec-tro-opticals section.

Low Contrast Differential "You've got to be able to see low contrast differentials on the moon," he explained soberly. A toy lunar vehicle was picked up clearly on the screen. Weighing only 3 pounds and smaller than a carton of cigarettes, the peeper, as it is known to its makers, was showing one of the latest advances in television, molecular, or micro-circuitry TV. The midget camera was developed with Westinghouse funding as the first of its kind. minstration to develop laboratory models of the new device.

The peeper already developed is a country cousin to a more advanced laboratory specimen expected to be delivered next month as the first under the NASA contract. The pioneer peeper, described as "highly successful," is about 70 per cent molecularized. But future ones are expected to have all operations molecularized without separately identifiable electronic components. "We decided," reports Robert A. Lee, "that if we were getting into space television, we should look beyond transisterized TV to the next generation.

At a recent check it had gone 478 sending hours without a failure. ular tendency was to patronize his characters as gloomy, garrulous Russians, as if they were a unique breed. But now the plays are regarded as applying to everyone.

People can see in them their own futility and doubts. We have a pseudo-Freudian vocabulary that seems to express the lethargy and confusions of plays like "The Three Sisters." The characters cannot communicate, as we would say. Masha cannot communicate her loathing of Kulygin, and he cannot communicate his need of her. Some of the characters we would regard as victims of hysteria. A psychiatrist might find a technical phrase to explain why Irina cannot love a man as attractive and devoted as the baron, or why she cannot love anybody except her sisters.

Now we can regard all the characters of "The Three Sisters" as neurotic people, and we might feel smug about the clarity and depth of our clinical definitions. Chekhov knew all these things, not in Freudian terms, but by a combination of instinct, experience, and education. He is the most lovable of the great theater writers of modern times. He Could Not Falsify Being a modest writer, Chekhov had difficulty in making moral judgments. He was a doctor of medicine.

His characters were patients. They have symptoms that he recognized and they have personalities that interested him as parts of their case histories. As a medical man he was obliged to look at them realistically. Although he could sympathize he could not falsify the record. That is why he could not bestow on them the little triumphs or the devastating disasters with which the theater likes to complete the last act and ring down the curtain.

New York The miracle of Chekhov is that his plays hold together. Since the characters are egotists who talk at rather than to one another, the plays seem to have no form or movement But the attentiveness with which audiences listen for more than three hours at the Morosco and the "bravos" at the end prove that they understand the universal truths that Chekhov never states in "The Three Sisters." Originally audiences had to learn that Chekhov was not scribbling at random. But now they bring into thf theater a willingness to listen and believe, and the Actors Studio, under Lee Strasberg's direction, is rewarding them with a tender, spontaneous, truthful performance. When "The Three Sisters" is well done it all looks easy. But it did not look easy on either side of the footlights when it was first performed in 1901.

Although the Moscow Art Theater had discovered the genius of "The Sea Gull" in 1898, it had only a moderate success with "Uncle Vanya" in 1899,. and "The Three Sisters," seems to have failed when it was first Act 61 Where Dors It All For Chekhov bewildered many perceptive people during his own lifetime. Tolstoy could not endure "The Three Sisters" in book form: "I could not force myself to read his "The Three Sisters' to the end where does it all lead to?" he asked querulously. He had also described "The Sea Gull" as "utterly worthless." If Chekhov's several unhappy experiences in the theater of his day had been decisive, his plays might have been forgotten.

This document came to my hands from a source I am not at liberty to name. Now that a certain party has been safely nominated I suppose its contents may be divulged. What I have here is a photographic reproduction of an article on the society page of the Arizona Gazette of February 12, 1912. Don't go away. While Clad Figure It says, "Master Cupid was present and gallantly guided the bridal party toward the altar, this office being performed by a tiny white clad figure bearing the name of Master Barry Goldwater." Then there is some stuff about the wedding which was apparently a nice one, but wouldn't interest you, and this passage: "As the music rose and fell, softly at first and again of a triumphant strain, the smilax at the doorway leading into the main auditorium was gently drawn aside and Master Barry Goldwater, as Cupid, stepped forth.

He was entirely clad In white and carried in his arms a bow and quiver of arrows." Gee: Perhaps it wouldn't have blocked his nomination but I hate to think of some cynical henchman saying, "Get out of the Cow Palace, Barry, or I'll tell the media about you being Cupid at the age of 3." On the other hand, though, the thought occurs that in its present state a good, experienced Cupid may be what the Republican party needs. yvxti i il i conventions at all, especially if they have learned about them from the movies and the several absorbing novels that have recently appeared on the subject, knows that the important thing is the document. The document usually is a shameful secret from the past of one of the candidates. Sometime during what is usually called the heat of the convention, the cynical but loyal henchman of the rival candidate will call up and say, "Sam, if you don't release North Dakota I'll release the document to the press." The candidate says, "So release. I have nothing to hide.

I am a hound's tooth, and anyway to release the document is un-American and dirty." "Sorry, Sam, but this is politics," says the cynical henchman. You can tell he is cynical because his tie is loose and a cigarette dangles while he talks. Anyway the plot runs along and the document gets released and the big, climactic scene is when the candidate gets up before the convention and says that in view of his unfortunate, he is withdrawing his name from consideration. Pandemonium In The Aisles There are cries of "No, No" and "We're with you, Sam" and the great convention becomes a pandemonium as state standards are carried through the aisles along with placards reading, "Don't Slam Sam" and "Sam? Yes Ma'am." It's heartwarming, but the nomination goes to the guy with the cynical henchman. Well, I'm not sure that I could have changed the course of the recent Republican convention, but I had a document that struck me, at least, mitt, and I am humblv proud of A.
