'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

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

period in the armed forces, he
said.
Above all, Rudge urged men to
"get a job which will make you
inherently happy." 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.

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

The huge iron bars tumbled
down with a crash.
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.

Iowa U Professors Refresh

Instructors teach. It's an ac

actually get taught once in awhile
too.
That, anyway, is what the en

They've been brushing up on
their teaching theories. Results,
- some of them admit, have been

The program was carried out in
co-operation with the university's
college of education which, in turn,

They also realized that repiti

that students are capable
of "getting" what is taught the

The American Society for En

Iowa's engineering Dean F. M.
Dawson, is trying to get similar
courses started in its 60 member
schools throughout the nation.
