Another promised the University of Santa Clara to employ even those engineering students who flunk their finals. Men about to be drafted are being signed to promissory contracts for the future. "It's like a fraternity rush," said the University of California's Associate Dean Everett Howe last week. "It's bad for the boys; it hurts their work and inflates their egos...

Simon insisted that Northern Pacific's haphazard way of handling its oil leases be improved, got the board to hire Dallas' famed geologist E. De Golyer (TIME, March 24) to survey the railroad's oil lands, and brought in Standard Oil Co. of California's former assistant vice president LeRoy Hines as a new Nipper officer in charge of oil. When Nipper's stockholders hold their...
