National Corporations In accordance with this exten sive placement work, the office of student affairs has also writ ten most of the big corporations of the country in an effort to place deserving seniors. Such com panies as Proctor and Gamble, Phillips Petroleum Co., Parke, Davis and Co., International Har vester, and Eastman Kodak have written back indicating they wel ' come this chance to obtain skilled workers.

Basic Salary The basic salary for these workers is $2,644 a year, accord ing to a circular issued by the US Civil Service Commission in Washington. Any student who would like to have an interview with a repre sentative of one of the big cor porations or of the Civil Service should make the appointment be fore Saturday noon, Nov. 22, in the office of the Dean of Student affairs, 104 Administration. Through Tuesday, 12 companies had sent representatives to the campus, and over two hundred students had taken advantage of this opportunity, At least fifty went through Wednesday, and the figure is expected to keep in creasing. Correspondence The Eighth Region of the US Civil Service, with headquarters in St. Paul, Minn., sent to Dean Thompson information regarding the civil service representative R. J. Freeburg who is to be here Monday. The letter came after Dean Thompson had written them requesting more effort in .placing UN seniors in government jobs. See PLACEMENT, page 3.
