Placement Office Supplies
Employment Possibilities
By Burt McBurney
Need a job? Tbe University Placement Office, 115 Academic, is the
place to go. Jobs for University students and jobs upon graduation
are being filled regularly with the aid of placement office personnel.
While this office cannot give stu
dents jobs itself, it can arrange for
interviews with companies looking
for employees, thus speeding up the
job-getting process.
“Everybody gets his own job,"
says Mtss Anne Seawell, placement
director. “We Just bring the company
representative and the student to
gether.”
Company agents from all corners
of the country are brought to the
University to talk to applicants for
jobs ranging from salesmen to phy
sicists. The interviews are carried
on just as they would be if the stu
dent visited the employment agent
in his home office.
Reference files are kept by the
placement office for those who re
quest this service and are available
for the interviews and whenever
needed, even after the student has
graduated.
Arrangements for part-time jobs
are made much like those for post
graduation employment, with the ex
ception that the student sees the
company representative at the com
pany offices rather than at the place
ment office.
According to Miss Seawell, not as
many students are taking advantage
What young people are doing at General
Young engineer
is responsible for
design analysis
of $3,000,000
turbine-generators
The average large steam turbine-generator
costs $3,000,000 and takes two years to build.
It is one of tbe biggest pieces of electrical
equipment made. Yet its thousands of parts
are put together as carefully as a fine watch.
Even a small change in design can affect the
stresses and vibration of the turbine, and
the way it performs. At General Electric,
several men share the responsibility of pre
dicting those effects before the turbine is
built. One of them is 29-year-old E. E.
Zwicky, Jr.
His job: analytical engineer
Here’s what Ted Zwicky does. He takes
a proposed mechanical design feature, de
scribes it mathematically, breaks it down
into digestible bits, modifies it, and feeds it
to electronic computers. (It may take two
months to set up a problem; the computers
usually solve it in twenty minutes.) Then
Zwicky takes the answers from the com
puters, translates and interprets them so they
can be followed by design engineers.
23,000 collego graduates at General Electric
This is a responsible job. Zwicky was readied
for it in a careful program of development.
Like Zwicky, each of our 23,000 coUege-
graduate employees is given a chance to find
the work he does best and to realize his fuU
potential. For General Electric believes this;
When young minds are given freedom to
make progress, everybody benetits-the in
dividual, the company, and the country.
of the placement service as could.
Many students, she says, are under
the misapprehension that they will
not be hired for permanent jobs upon
graduation if they are draft eligible.
Starting salaries received by Uni
versity graduates range from $250
to $400 a month, according to place
ment office figures. There have been
cases of graduates starting at $450.
Technical students, graduate stu
dents and students with previous ex
perience have a better chance to get
high starting salaries. Technical stu
dents—accountants, physicists, stat
isticians, chemists—are the highest
paid and are in greatest demand.
Sales and production are easiest
to break into, with preference going
to those who are willing to move
from place to place. Contrary to
popular thought, liberal arts ma
jors are much in demand, especially
if they are interested in industrial
careers.

Observation Tour Planned
For Landscape Architects
Plans for the annual spring study
and observation tour for junior and

scape architecture have been an
nounced by Hubert B. Owens, chair
