Learn all about tlie atom young
man and the world will lieat a path
to your door — at least that's the
story of this year's crop of physics
graduates at OU
George Haley OU director of em-
ployment services said tiie going
price for a young physicist is reach-
ing new peaks He can lay aside his
cap and gown and start picking up
a paycheck of about $503 a month if
he has a master's degree in the
field
And Dr Richard G Fowler
chairman of the physics depart-
ment says he knows of one student
who's still working on his master's
who is earning $ti(MX) a year
Of course the young physicist
with a doctor’s degree is in an even
better bargaining position Salaries
for this category are in the 87500
range and even higher if the phy-
sicist has the right ltackground
Engineers are getting offers of
starting salaries well over S5(XK)
Haley reports and chemists can ex-
pect alxiut the same salary as a
physics graduate
California school administrators
are invading Oklahoma with salary
offers that must persuade many ne-
ophyte teachers that California Is
having another gold rush With a
bachelor’s degree the new teacher
there earns 84000 a year

"The increase in construction was
significant also lxruuse the vol-
ume normally declines alxiut a
percent between February ami
March
The buying of the Easter holi-
day season Increased retail sales
9 percent above February after
the seasonal factors were removed
The flow of money through the
state’s economy remained at an
even rale Hank debits held prac-
tically the same during February
and March Freight car loadings
were down slightly to parallel the
decline in industrial production
For the first quarter of 195(1
the level of general business ac-
tivity in Oklahoma hail been near-
ly 2 percent ahead of the same
period last year Furthur upturns
are in the offing for the next few
