Sooner or Eater ~~—' « • 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. The Placement Office, establish' (Continued from Page 2) - LETTERS - 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. JOHN B. NEELY ’48 M. L. HART ’50 ■+ • FOR A HOME-LIKE MEAL AWAY FROM HOME try COLLEGE INN 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.

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. if. of 327 Burroughs Dr., Snyder, N. Y. Wildroot Company, Inc., Buffalo 11, N. Y.
