Students find positions
through placement office
By MARCIA PATEIOS
Staff writer
An office located in the
White Avenue Building not only
linds jobs for students, after
graduation but also establishes
a permanent file of past em
ployment and faculty recom
mendations
According to Miss Jan Sum
mers. this service is one of the
major functions of the job
placement office because “it
deals with finding a career for
the student after graduation '
Miss Summers, job place
ment adviser, explained that
the office has long standing
contacts with companies
throughout the nation
"BY REGISTERING with
job placement, one has the
opportunity to interview per
haps 15 recruiters from various
companies, she continued
Stu McGarity. head of the
job placement department, fur
ther explained the importance
of a permanent file of past ex-
ployment and recommenda
tions
"At any time after gradua
tion. alumni can contact us,
asking for their credentials to
be sent to a particular compa
ny.” said McGarity
McGarity cited two addition
al advantages of establishing a
placement file
“First." he said, We partic
ipate in a reciprocal agreement
with other major colleger and
universities This agreement is
utilized by students needing a
job ina particular geographic
area
THE PLACEMENT office
will send the student's creden
tials to the university in the area
he wishes to work That univer
sity will then locate a job for
the student before his arrival
“Secondly." he continued,
“students applying for gradu
ate school who have registered
with placement can request
that their files be sent as rec
ommendations foi admission '

cancelled their fall appoint
ments. she said, but are plan
ning to come in the spring
Recruiters who have cancelled
their fall appoingments have
said that interested students
should write them. "
"Due to the national economy
situation, find a job will take
more legwork. Miss Summers
said "A student may have to
write the company whereas
before a campus interview was
sufficient
McGarity further explained.
There are plenty of job oppor
tunities available this year for
students who are willing to do
some serious interviewing
This is why it is important for
students to come to the place
ment office and sign the ap
pointment sheets for interviews
with recruiters
When visiting the placement
office for interviews, the stu
dent will speak with profession
al recruiters who in some cases
travel the entire country speak
ing with prospective employ
ees.
A STUDENT should register
with placement either at the
end of his junior or the begin
ning of his senior year In regis
tering. the student will fill out
an information card and send
out several faculty-opinion
sheets.
These sheets will be com-
pU ted and sent back to place
ment by faculty members who
have rated the student in such
areas as capability of leader
ship. intellectual alertness,
ability to express ideas, initia
tive. and social adaptability.
The ratings of these areas
range from 0-100. 70-100 being
excellent
AFTER REGISTERING
with placement, a student will
receive a catalog listing career
opportunities This catalog lists
company names and locations
where the student can write for
additional information
The student should check
by the placement office, prefer
ably once a week, to see what
new companies have offered
career opportunities Approxi
mately 6.000 bulletins listing
recent job openings are pub
lished bi-weekly These bulle
tins are sent to alumni through
out the world; many are posted
in the dorms and other build
ings Students should check
these job listings frequently,
she said
McGarity stated that a stu
dent can sign up for as many in
terviews as he wishes, but he
must keep the appointments he
signs for Even though a stu
dent faces military service aft
er graduation, he should still
come to placement and make
MM hwringW contacts fx-
cause these contacts will be
valid after he* leaves the mili
tary."
Students planning to attend
graduate school should also
interview several companies,
in case their plans for further
schooling don't work out. Mc
Garity added
“Were a student-oriented
area qf work; affirmed Miss
Summers, “and placement
advisers are always available
to counsel students concerning
careers after graduation

Hie University Bookstore wishes to express its
genuine appreciation for the very co-operative
way in which the faculty and the student body
accepted the extremely uncomfortable conditions
at the bookstore during the heavy period of book
rush.
A failure in the air-conditioning system required
flying in special parts and service engineers to
repair the equipment.
1 he many student employees and student wives
deserve special recognition for an outstanding
job under almost unbearable conditions. The
management of the bookstore is more than
pleased with the reception.
The reduction in the price of new hooks which
has been brought about by the excellent patron
age of the student body is another step in the
