College Graduate I Shortage Declines _ Smaller Quotas For Recruiters To Fill BLOOMINGTON <UP) — The director of Indiana University's Bureau of Personnel Relations and Placement said today college graduates no longer can “play cat and mouse with from six to eight different companies.” J. Douglas Snider, writing in the School of Business’ monthly Indiana Business Review, said the shortage of college graduates plaguing industry in recent years has declined somewhat in the last few months. Snider said business recruiters show signs «f recovering the employment “driver's seat ” He said the major difference today lies not so 1 much in het amount of recruiting as in methods of recruitment. “The recruiters, having smaller quotas to 'fill, and sensing the more competitive attitude of the seniors, have tightened the job specifications,” Snider said. They have given more thought to quality and less to quantity, h 4 said. Base salaries, minus attractive additives, are being quoted. “The passive attitude of the 1957 graduate will not be in vogue j this year," Snider said. !• But Snider said even with the I anticipated drop of up to 30 per cent in the college graduate market, the 700 or more Indiana students seeking business careers spring should have little difficulty. But they'll have to do the hunting. ' ■ He attributed the reversal trend to cutbacks in military - expenditures, and the resulting layoffs; growing capacities to produce; a shaky stock market, and the continued tight-money market. Snider said prospects for the , second half of 1958 appear brighter. “A record military budget, federal road contracts and a loosening of money restrictions are expected to provide the shot in the arm . . . needed to start- business activity on another record-break-ing climb and, with it, another all-out scramble for college graduates,” Snider said Anderson Man Dies ! In Two Truck Crash ALEXANDRIA HP) — Robert Lee Edmonson, 29, Anderson, wris kill'Cd -'*®nd a ■companion ...was. injured 1 seriously ’in a two-truck collision on Ind. 9 south of here Thursday ‘night.
