THE DAILY NEBItASKAN
SERVICE
POSITIONS ARE OPEN
Civil Service Positions Give Em
ployes Opportunity to Con
tinue with Education.
University Is Now-
Operated At Lower
Cost Than Before
AsHlHtants in duto scale eradication
and in dust explosion prevention are
badly needed by tho Civil Service de
partment. Examinations will be held
in Lincoln, April 25. Students desiring
more Information about any of the
positions offered to applicants should
Inquire at the Civil Service window
at the city postoffice.
Many of the more technical posi
tions are open only to college grad
uates or to those who are in their
senior year. Tho educational advant
ages of Washington should be con
sidered by one who is considering ap
plying for one of the positions. Two
universities situated in the national
capital offer engineering and scien
tific courses. Students may transfer
credits from any standard college to
either of those institutions, and
studies may bo persued In evening
classes while students who have re
ceived appointments in the govern
ment service are holding profitable
employment.
Positions in the Civil Service offer
advantages not to be had in most
other lines of work. The Department
of agriculture offers post-graduate
courses which are arranged so as not
to interfere with the work hours of
employees who may desire to enter
them. A number of the leading uni
versifies accept this training as credit
toward higher degrees.
Opportunities are afforded for scien
tific research in the laboratories oft
the Depart ment of Agriculture. Prac
tically all of these positions require
more or less investigation work in
the field outside of Washington. This
enables the employee to obtain a
broad and comprehensive view of his
special subject of investigation as it
Is related to the entire country. When
traveling in the field away from
either official or temporary head
quarters, the expenses of the inves
tigator are paid by the government.

(University Publicity office)
Reorganization and centralization
of the purchasing and operating de
partments of the University of Ne
braska have resulted In economy and
efficiency, placing tho maintenance
and upkeep of tho Institution on a
business basis and making possible
a comiplete check on every depart
ment.
Every department of the University
Is provided with a budget from the
general appropriation and all serv
ices rendered and supplies furnished
are debited against the department
on a ledger. This prevents any de
partment exceeding Its quota ot the
funds. All requisitions for supplies
are handled through the purchasing
department, and if deemed necessary
are filled. The several stores pro
vided on both campuses promptly
supply the departments with general
supplies purchased at a saving in
wholesale quantities.
Purchasing agents of tho middle
western universities buy many of
their supplies collectively. This en
ables additional savings. For ex
ample, following this arrangement the
University secured alcohol at 25 cents
a gallon for which it had been paying
liO cents. This plan is being carried
out in the ease of many of the com
mon articles bought by all the uni
versities. Hy consolidating the purchases of
the various departments, the Univers
ity became a large buyer and secured
the advantages of being able to buy
at wholesale. One of the largest pur
chases made 'annually by ithe Uni
versity is coal for heat, light, and
power. According to U V. Seaton,
operating superintendent and purchas
ing agent, the University uses annual
ly 10,1)00 tons of coal. Of this 6,000
are used at the city campus and 4,000
at the Agricultural College campus.
I3y using the exhaust steam from the
engines generating electricity and by
other changes made in the plant, a
saving in heating of about 2,000 tons
of coal has resulted.
The cafeterias operated at cost on
both campuses come under the oper
ating department. During the nine
months of the college year about 315,
000 meals are served. At the Temple
cafeteria an average price of 21 cents
is paid for each meal, at the Agri
cultural College cafeteria, 30 cents.
The work of the department is di
vided into four main divisions. The
stores which purchase supplies in
large quantities that are parceled out
in smaller quantities make up one
part of the system.
Architectural planning, decorating,
landscape gardening and care of
lawns, and allotlng of Jobs are the
dutlos of another branch. Supervis
ing the Job eystem of the various
trades for construction end repairing
heating and operating the ice plunt
at tho farm comprise tho duties of
another division. Operating tho cafe-
terlas and the dormitories are the du
ties of a fourth.
Tho University also organized a
transportation system which is found
to operate more efficiently and sat
isfactorily than under tho former
mnh'-d of employing outside deliv
ory service. It has greatly enhanced
the certainty of prompt delivery. This
department also operates the book
stores which sells books .o students
at cost. The annual loss previously
sustained by this branch has been
wiped out by more conservative
buying of toxt books.
