Get Most of the Jobs
E.B.L.S. Nominates
Senior Candidates
To Woman's Group
The Rliz.nlicth Baldwin Literary So-
ciety nominated Peggy Warren and
N'irna tiuthrie as catiditlates for the sen-
ior Woman's Council, at their regular
incctitig last Monday. A party will be
given, honoring the seniors sit a dinner-
dance, Jun<y3 at the Rice Hotel.
Another tea will be given for the in-
coming and outgoing officers of the
EBI.S by Gladys Marie Deeritlg 011 June
3 from five to seven at hif home on
Sunset boulevard.
Tabulating the occupations of the
seniors this year proves that engi-
neers Still get jobs and that the party'
who has been bringing home the ba-
con ,since way back B.C. (before col-
leges) is expected to repeat for the
benefit of this year's1 Institute gradu-
ates. ,
Out of the 158 students receiving
degrees whose future occupations
were collected for this poll, 62, or
39,2 per cent, had made mi choice.
But the encouraging part of this con-
dition is that 39 out of the 62, or 62.9
per cent of the undecided ones, were
gilds. And: since all experience hath
shown that, girls are going to get mar-
ried—-well, that leaves the ttne.mploy-
inient Situation not'so much the worse,
anyway.'' ■ . a:
; ahiCsc 39. girls compose 53.4 per
cent, of all of the 73 girls in the prdl.
Of the other 34 who profess to plan
to earn their livings at least tempo-
rarily, one half will be school teach-
ers: Evelyn Werner, Juliette de la
Morienere, Mildred Lee, Mary Jack-
son, Ruth Holt, Ruth Hardy, Dorothy
Edtnundson, Mary Belt, Mary Bar-
rett, Florence Bailey, Elsie Alber,
Hazel Graf, Mary Virginia Wall,
Elizabeth Rieger, Mabel Burr, Doro-
thy Keller,,. atld' Mary Margaret1 Hur-
ley. '. <'

and David Robinson, arc the only ben's
§§| Will teach, Of the other seven-
teen girls,! 11 are planning on office
work, from stenographic and secre-
tarial to filing. Helen Putnam, Ruth
Dwigans, and A'iee Claire Luckel will
ptish pencils and pound keys as
stenographers, Marjorie NitZe and
Elizabeth Lloyd count on secretarial
positions, Henriette Daigle has a po-
sition in the filing office of V local
firm, and Ruth Tausend, Marian
Pearson, Patricia Pearson, and Mahle-
gface .Close' say office work in gen-
eral. Sol Kobh, Jean Dornian, and
Edwin House, accountants, will be
the only boys' in this department, 1
The predominance of women ex-
tends only : slightly farther, however,1
into the fields chosen by librarian
Elizabeth Martin and nurse Dorothy
Chandler, who are so far the only
Rice graduates who have announced
these as their occupations.
