Seniors'
Focuses
For freshmen the most
important part of the Union
would have to be the Crib.
But for seniors, emphasis
shifts to the third, floor,
where the job-placement
center is located.
Frank Hallgren, director
of the placement service
said that the placement ser
vice began its operation in
1963. Before that, placement
was done on a college-foy-college
basis.
According to Hallgren,
service can affect not only
seniors, but alumni and jun
iors who are interested in
summer employment relat
ing to their career.
Ag Students Pass
Exec Constitution
A new constitution for the
Executive Board of the Col
lege of Agriculture and Home
Economics was passed in an
election on East Campus
Thursday.
Students voting for the new
constitution numbered 294; 21
voted against it and three
ballots were invalid.
The Ag Exec Board had
adopted the constitution last
spring, said Dave Snyder,
Exec Board president, and it
had to be submitted to Agricul
ture College students for fi
nal approval.

Interest
On Jobs
"Last year," said Hall
gren, "we placed five to six
hundred seniors. I would es
timate that of the seniors
who actually accepted em
ployment, 90 percent were
placed through our office."
A graduate of the Univer
sity should have little prob
lem finding a job, said Hall
gren, and probably will be
faced with a choice of sev
eral job offers.
Each year the University
arranges interviews with
seven thousand employers,
ranging from General Mo
tors to the "Municipality of
Grand Island.''
"The important thing,"
stressed Hallgren, "is that
each senior, no matter what
his post-graduation plans,
should file his credentials,
faculty evaluation, refer
ences, and a resume of his
educational background,
with the placement office,
and set up interviews."
For one thing, a student
can meet more employers
through the placement of
fice while he is a senior
than he could in six months
after graduation.
"Another factor students
should remember is that
most employers have mil
itary - leave programs, so
that even if a graduate is
faced with a military ob
ligation," explained H a II
gren, "he will have many
job opportunities."
Hathaway: Mr. Winters, how do you like our new
Club shirts?
Winters: Fine. Except for that tapered waist.
Hathaway: Not enough?
Winters: Too much. The first time I wore one, I looked
so darned slim that people would come up
to me in the street and give me
money for a meal.
Hathaway: Pretty embarrassing, but . . .
Winters: Then, girls would feel sorry for
me and take me home for dinner.
Their mothers would take one look
at my tapered middle and pow! I'd
spend hours at the table.
Hathaway: I see. But . .
Winters: And I want to tell you it's
pretty frustrating. After all that
food, I was too tired to do anything
but go home and sleep.
Hathaway: Yes, I can understand that.
But taper apart, how's the rest of
the shirt?
Winters: Great. As soon as I get some
weight off, I'll be wearing
'cm again.
