THE NEBRASKAN Friday, April 22, 1955 Placement By Board n &(UISDiniSS H H cjj By BARBARA SIIARPE Staff Writer There is more of a demand for well-trained college graduates in business and industry today than the University is able to supply. This statement was made by Dean J. P. Colbert, dean of stu dent affairs and chairman of the Board of Occupational Placement. The function of this board yj to place graduating seniors in out standing jobs throughout the coun try. As Dean Colbert said, "Our Philosophy, .like that of many oth er colleges and universities, is that in higher education, we must not only discharge the duties and obligations to the students until they get a degree, but also must help them make the transition from the University to employ ment." He observed that the demand is co great today because there are fewer young people available to fill the jobs. Abundance of env ployment opportunities is expect' cd to continue until 1960. Fellowships A sncs Granted lo Ihree Three faculty members of the College of Arts and Sciences have been granted leaves of absence by the University Regents to ac cept Frank H. Woods Fellowships in humanities. The three faculty members are Dr. William Pfeiler, professor of germamc languages and litera ture; Dr. John Alden, professor of history, and Dr. Carl Schneider, associate professor of political sci ence. A gift of $40,000 for the fellow ship was established through the University Foundation by the Woods Charitable Fund, Inc. of Lincoln. This fund was established for the purpose of encouraging scholarship in the humanities. The year grants are for $5,000 and the half-year grants for $2.50. Dr. Pfeiler will take a semester leave Feb. 1, 1956, to write a book on German literature between 1933 45. ' . Dr. Alden plans to take a semes ter leave starting Sept. 1, 1955, to visit a number of libraries and . archives and to write a history of tha South in the American Revo lutionary War. Dr. Schneider will leave Sept. 1 for Bonn, Germany where he will do research on German political parties since World War II. He will be gone a full year.

Eleven Sent horn Dorms To Convention Eleven University students at tended the Mid-west Dormitory Conference April 15-16 in Columbia, Missouri. Representing the University were Ruth Vollmer, Eleanor VonBargen, Marjeanne Jensen and Jackie Kil zer from the Residence Halls for Women; Don Besom, Vic Musil, Ed Eemble, Varro Clarke, Ken Ilif iske, Doug Jensen and Lowell Vestal from Selleck Quadrangle. Although the functions of the Board of Occupational Placement are highly important, most stu dents are unaware of this service the prospect of getting a job is near at hand. Actually, this board performs an extensive service to Univer sity students. Board members in elude representatives from the va rious colleges on the campus. They handle relations with firms who desire to send personnel man agers or other members of their company to the University to in terview seniors. The work of the Occupational Placement Board begins when a company representative writes for an appointment to come to the campus. These visits may start as early as Oct. 14. The dates of the representatives' visits are kept on a calendar in Dean Col bert's office. The fact that two such appointments are usually scheduled five days a week from October until June is indicative of the size of this program. . Some companies who w a n t graduates in only one field con tact that particular college direct ly. However, the majority inter view students of different colleges and these interviews are handled by the Board. Last year 165 or ganizations were granted inter views by the Board. Dean Col-j bert estimated that altogether over 200' companies sent reprentatives to the campus last year. Organizations that participate in the program Include the General Electric Corporation, Bell Tele phone Co., R.C.A., United States Steel, Chrysler Corporation," Colgate-Palm Olive Co., Sunbeam Ap pliance Co., Quaker Oats Co., and Eastman Kodak Co. Allis-Chalmers, John Deere Co, Proctor and Gamble, the West- inghouse Corporation and,the May tag Co. also send represents tives. Notice Posted After an appointment is made for the company official to come to the campus, board members post notices on campus bulletin prior to the visit. If a student boards . approximately two weeks is interested in the organization, he is able to go to 209 Admins tration Hall to look through a brochure published by that com pany. These brochures explain the ben- efits, salaries and opportunities for advancement in addition to list ing the jobs available. Many bro chures contain descriptions of the cities in which company plants are located. The organizations are anxious that prospective em ployees become well - acquainted with the company and its aavan tages.

But he pointed out that personnel managers do not hire for scholarship alone; they want someone who will be an asset to their company. They do, however, ask for a student's average. Most company representatives are most interest ed in a student who has done welel in college. They believe that if a student is interested in his ca reer, he will denyx himself a few good times in order to achieve good grades. This type of person will be an asset to any organization. Provisions For Women "It is not difficult to place wom en in important jobs today," said a on Dean Colbert. He added that many large companies make special pro visions for women employees. Companies such as Braniff and United Air Lines send represen tatives to the campus to inter view women students for positions as hostesses. He observed that In some oc cupations, "it is still difficult for women to advance at the same rate as men," but added that this is not true in all instances. He stressed the fact that it is possible to place students in all types of occupations, but said that the greatest demand today is for graduates in the fields of engi neering, chemistry, physics, math ematics, business administration and geology. Your Church God Has A Place On The Campus Custodians To Acquire Dog For Blind Veteran By CONNIE HURST Staff Writer Wanted: the assistance of the University students in gathering a bushel of red strips gained from packages of a 1 1 brands of cigarettes. This red strip fund has been in stigated on the campus by the Union custodians in an effort to acquire a seeing eye dog for a disabled veteran at the Omaha Veteran's Hospital.

Interest in the veteran was gained through a union employee, who was the platoon ser gear t of the 82nd Airborn Division. For the past month the ex-sergsant and two other members of tha division have been collecting the red strips. Up to date the custodians and friends of the disabled veteran have gathered eight pounds of the valuable strips, but approxi mately seven additional pounds are needed to fill the bushel basket.
