THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Thursday, October 18, 1951 PAGE 4 Rudg Advises . . . le Man On Campna by Biblor 'Happiness Important In Choosing Vocations' 'ThnnM a nri In Whlnh vol! will be happy" was the advice Riven by W. G. Rudge of the Dravo corporation Tuesday evening as he spoke about opportunities for placement of engineers in modern industry. The meeting was tn Ferguson hall. T. J. Thompson, chairman of the University occupational place ment committee, told the engineers that they need not worry about scuring a place in ino Dusiness vivid because, "Nebraska men rrs nn hnvft tn ht sold. theV sell "-mselves." Graduates of the University are always in demand, he said. Rudge's talk was directed toward the Interviews he and oMicr Dravo men are conduct ing on the campus. He said that cornoratlons such as his own do n'. eonsHer the military com irl ments binding this year's g- filiates. Companies will hire the men they want, even though they may be with the company only a few weeks before leavlwr for a two or three year tour of duty Rudge said. Plans of large concerns are long-range and engineers often are better able to serve the need of the company after a maturing Union Plans Program For Sunday Anvone who has time on his hnnHs Sundav afternoon or eve ning should know that the Union hospitality committee, headed by Tom Larsen, will have something to keep him busy enjoying him self. As usual, there will be TV pro grams all afternoon until the Fac ulty recital begins. Faculty mem bers Jack R. Snider, Mary Jane Waggoner and Earl F. Jenkins, will present the first of the re citals at 4 p.m. in the Union ball room. The faculty recital is sponsored by the Union music committee under the direction of Sara De voe, sponsor, and Barbara Rein ecke. chairman. From 5 to 6 P.m. a coffee hour will be held In the lounge. The hospitality committee will be m charge. Organ music during the hour will be played by Bob Crook. From 6 to 7:30 supper will be served in the Roundup cafeteria. The meals will cost $.85. The movie "The Senator was Indiscreet" will be shown in the lounge beginning at 7:30. The NU art Gallery pictures will be in the lounge until Sun day. Members of the hospitality committee are Diane Hinman, Bob Meechan, Norma Lothrop, Bill Melville, Don Warnke, and Kathy Radaker. Social Service Tour To Show AUF In Action Three Lincoln service organiza tions will be visited on the YWCA social service tour this afternoon from 3 to 5:30. The tour is being held so that students may see where AUF contributions go. The three or ganisations are among the 27 agencies which receive aid from the Lincoln Community Chest to which part of the AUF money is given. Goodwill Industries is the first agency to be visited on the tour. The purpose of Goodwill is to provide employment, training and rehabilitation for handicapped and disabled persons. The second stop on the tour will be at St. Thomas' Orphanage. Here homeless children are cared for and given educational and re ligious training. Belmont community center is the last place scheduled on the YWCA tour. The only activities in the Belmont community for both children and adults are sponsored by the center. These include school lunch hour pro grams, handicrafts and sport pro grams. There will he opportunities for students to ask questions about the agencies and the work of AUF, said Barbara Hershberger, YW committee chairman. Anyone who wishes to par ticipate in the tour should sign up with her YW house repre sentative or at the YW office in Ellen Smith hall.

A man in a job where he is dissatisfied is wasting both his time and the company's. Forget the money angle, for the dollar value will take care of itself, he said. Com panies are quick to reward ability, Rudge added. Engineers should know what field they want to work in and know what being In that Held entails, he said. Many branches of engineering lead to a nomad lo type of life which the man must be ready to accept. Salaries offered for beginning engineers range between $300 and $325 a month, Rudge remarked. Although large corporations have training programs involving from 6 months to two years of classrooms schooling, Dravo uses a "learn by doing" training pro gram whereby new men are put to work as subordinates of men in their field, according to Rudge. Thompson reported that the University will be visited by at least fifty companies this year. Half again as many asked to interview University men. About 175 men will be placed by the University this year with 200 companies competing for the graduates, Thompson said.

U.S. National Park Service to Union Giving Lessons X-ray Vision, Reading Minds Bridge Players' Requirements By AMY PALMER Staff Reporter There are many definitions of the world bridge, but once you have entered the University, there is only one. And that is a card game over which you exert more mental pressure that three six weeks exams, swear more than you would over a flat tire and get more disgusted at than a late date. If you get frustrated over this four-handed game, the Union, every ready to serve students, has come up with an answer. And that answer is les sons. Now doesn't that sound logical? The lessons, administered by James Porter, started with the basic fundamentals, will work up to the polished finesse of Culbert son if you have the intelligence, comprehension, patience, strategy and energy to learn just how it is done. Now maybe you're thinking just why anone should take lessons in bridge after all, you learn as you go. Well, I'll tell you people who think like this often get killed. (Nice people, too.) Many's the tombstone that's marked, "He didn't read Culbertson." One thing that can't be learned from just lessons, though, is the mental attitude one must assume toward bridge. It can't be 'just a game.' And after about three hands, you'll know why. You must enter int othe contest with a clear head, steady hands and the deter mination to win. Concentration isn't enough: You must also observe the facial habits of all with whom you are playing. You have to know the difference between a low cough, third fingernail, and left hand being chewed. Sounds compli cated doesn't it? Well, it is. But if you aren't phychic, can't read minds or don't have X-ray vision, there is still one opening left. And that's the previously mentioned bridge lessons being of fered now. You'll learn how to play the $700 Med College Applications f . m 1 iUUU ICOIU 14V W W UUe Monday; lest NOV. O game well and accurately.

The great iron door squeaked on its hinges. And, through that door walked many coeds Wednesday. That's when the 1951 Activities Mart opened for freshman women ready to experience their first taste of activities. To bo sure, they had many to pick from. However, questions were, "How many? ' and "Which ones?" To help the freshmen out, many of the organizations adorned their booths with pic tures and posters. Some went even further into the mechanical field with blinking lights and sectlonalized turntable dis plays. With so much work in the way of demonstration and ex planatory apparatus, the place would have been a good location for super-super salesmen to captitalize with a field day. However, despite the sales-talking that went on freshmen wandered around in a vast cloud of confusion. Each place they visited, some kind of job was offered them and every one of them just a little bit different from the other. For Instance, knowing how to type is one thing but trying to figure out which place In which to set it working Is an other problem. To be sure, many were the confused and puzzled faces that greeted the eyes of those sitting at the AWS information booth. Some made the rounds of booths in the ballroom as many as five times. Despite the multitude of wrin kled brows and furrowing frowns, smiles of satisfaction prevailed in the end. One quick look at the all organizations participating in the mart and the reason for the dumbfounding 1 n d e c lsion is clearly explained. The list runs something like this: All University Fund, Barb Activities Board for Women, Uni versity of Nebraska Builders, Coed Counselors, Cornhuskcr, Cosomopolitan Club, College Days, The Daily Nebraskan, . Home Economics club, Independent Stu dents Organization, Nebraska Uni versity Council on World Affairs, Red Cross College Unit, Welfare Council. Student Union workers, Tas sels University 4-H club, Women's Athletic Association, YWCA. Just wait more muddling up t, to follow! Right along with all of these nice long fancy names come alphabet soup com binations. This means groups of letters borrowed from words and slapped together stand for an organization. Included in this category are AUF, BABW, ISA, RCCU, NUCWA and WAA. However, as phychologists say, confusion is one phase of ad justment. Agreed it all takes a little time. lllml WM ;MliiK..gl.WMMUllWMlim.MllriWMIIlllllJM.ICTIly i 11 Ill I C'Vi ' i ' ll 1 !

It's an ac cepted fact. But, some of them actually get taught once in awhile too.

Results, - some of them admit, have been ' twprising.

Dawson, is trying to get similar courses started in its 60 member schools throughout the nation.
