Where Jobs and the Jobless
Meet - The Placement Office
By GEORGE CHARLTON
“You say you want a job? Then I’ll tell you what I’m
going to do.”
This could easily be the motto of the A&M Placement
Office which acts as a “middle grounds” between employers
and job-seeking seniors and alumnae.

his decision; will be against them
if they are wrong, and with
them if they are right.
The attitude of students is that,
right or wrong, they are sure of
a stiff penalty anytime they go on
the panel. Therefore they have
confidence neither in the fairness
of the men serving on that panel,
nor in the panel itself as a means
of justice. I wish to point out here
that I have nothing against the
men on the panel personally, hut
only believe that someone other
than deans should serve.
William M. Menger
(Editor’s Note: The Battalion
would like to commend the writ
er of this letter. It shows con
structive criticism without mal
ice or bitterness. More letters of
this type can help correct un
satisfactory conditions quicker
than those that complain with
out offering a remedy.)
STILL WAITING
Editor, The Battalion:
“Spell it out” for Seelke and
Brown. Their suggestion to repub
lish the old “Battalion” magazine
is the best we have read in your
“red rag” this year. We under
stand that the “Commentator” was
created to replace it. If it was it
has failed miserably.
There may be some who think
that lewd literature is bad for
“growing young minds.” But we
feel that such a publication will
better all concerned. It would be
better for students to buy the “Bat-
tlion” magizine than “Esquire,”
“Sunshine and Health,” or some of
the other magazines now on sale
at our newsstands. At least, the
money would be going to school
funds rather than to some distant
publisher.
We are hopefully waiting for
the first edition of the post-war
“Battlion” magizine.

BRYAN
ed in the fall of 1939, issues
announcements at the first of each
school year asking all seniors grad
uating in the following January,
June, or August, to file a regis
tration record with information
that would help future employers
determine whether certain men are
properly suited and interested in
their certain fields.
A permanent record with trans
cript enclosed is then kept of each
senior and alumnus registered with
the office. This record is confiden
tial but can be inspected by repre
sentatives of firms and companies
interested in hiring that certain
man.
A personal leaflet containing col
lege information, high school and
other college attendance informa
tion, personal data, business and in
dustrial experience, references, and
the date when available for em
ployment may also be included in
the file. These leaflets are not free
of charge as are the other services
of the Placement Office, a small
charge being assessed.
Another item, the Veterans’
Appraisal Service test, may also
be included in the file if the
senior so desires. This test, spon
sored by the Veterans’ Adminis
tration, costs nothing and can be
taken in about eight hours. They
determine the student’s aptitude
and psychological capacity and
may be used by employers in
judging tentative employees.
Four interviewing booths are al
ways at the disposal of company
representatives who come here to
interview prospective employees.
The Placement Office carries on
correspondence with some 2,500 to
3,000 company and firm contacts,
and when any company’s represen
tative’s schedule stops at A&M an
nouncements are placed up on bul
letin boards for seniors majoring
in their respective fields. But be
fore a senior can make appoint
ments for interviews, he must have
registered with the office.
Future plans for the Placement
Office include a summer employ
ment service. This service could
help, for instance, the journalism
student actually work for a news
paper observing the business first
hand before he has finished his col
lege career and gets a journalism
degree.
The service could also help the
student secure a job after he has
graduated by giving him the op
portunity to work with his future
boss in the summer.
In 1943 the Placement Office was
taken over by the college. Up to
that time the organization had
been financed completely by alum
nae accounts.

J. Paul Sheedy* Switched to Wildroot Cream-Oil
Because He Flunked The Finger-Nail Test
THE hair that bothered this tortoise didn’t run him a race, as
they “tort-us” back in school. His hair just kept getting in
his eyes! Being naturally slow, it took some time for him to
try the Finger-Nail Test. But when he did, brother, did he
move fast for a bottle of Wildroot Cream-Oil—and look at him
now! No more dryness and loose, ugly dandruff! Wildroot
Cream-Oil keeps his hair well groomed all day long.
What non-alcoholic Wildroot Cream-Oil containing Lanolin
did for Sheedy, it can do for you. So get a bottle or tube today
at the nearest drug or toilet goods counter. And have your
barber give you professional applications. You’ll like what
Wildroot Cream-Oil does for your hair—so mock this turtle
and start using it today.
