Companies To Conduct
Interviews For Ag Grads

riculture will be offered by var
ious companies and manufacturers
this spring, according to Ephrianv
Hixson, associate director of resi-1
dent instruction at the College of
Agriculture.
Hixson said that the com
panies would conduct inter

enough students were inter
ested. He said that January
graduates, June graduates and
summer graduates that would
be interested in having an in
terview or in finding more in
formation about job opportuni
. ties should leave their name in
Boom 306, Agricultural hall.
Companies that will be seeking
college graduates for employment
this spring include feed manufac

with local or private companies.
The demand for college gradu
ates to fill these jobs is great at
the present, Hixson said. Students
who are likely to be called into
service, and are interested in any
of these jobs, would do well to
go ahead with the interview, be
cause he could keep in contact
with the company, and through
the interview would know what
the company wanted in the line
of employees.
Hixson ent on to say that in
terviews would be valuable expe
rience for anyone, and that one
could obtain general information
about Job opportunities through
them.

Defense Secretary Lovett
stated this and other points in
outlining the part the United
States would have under the

Lovett talked only of divisions,

smaller, sub-divisional units
