SIX-- REASONS.
College boys are not getting a chance to flop in the administration end of the picture business. Rea- son is that they can't even qualify as apprentices.
Of 600 boys with diplomas inter- viewed by one major film company all except 16 were turned down after the first preliminary. Of the 16 only nine still hold their jobs. The highest paid is getting around; $120 a week.

Lack of aggression.
