The two expelled are Maj. Hu bert E. Tansey of Arlington, Va., and Capt. Charles W. Stockell of Jacksonville, Fla. The U. S. Embassy was not sur prised. It had been expecting some such action since the U. S. State Department announced Jan. 5 that Maj. Yuri P. Krylov, Soviet assistant military attache in Wash ington, had been ordered out of the country on the ground he had tried to buy military information and obtained improperly electronic equipment.

Today, an Associate Engineer and leader of a nine-man team, Jerry re views his experience at IBM and gives some pointers that may be helpful to you in taking the first, most important step in your engineering career. It’s a puzzlement: 'When you’re old enough to go to college, you’re old enough to go out with girls. When you’re old enough to go out with girls, who needs college? Oh well, there’s always Coke. SIGN OF GOOD TASTE BRYAN COCA COLA BOTTLING COMPANY “What really sold me,” says Jerry, “was the way they conducted engi neering. I’d expected rooms full of engineers at desks. Instead, I found all the informal friendliness of my college lab.” • Gerald, an E.E., came directly to IBM from the University of Buffalo, in 1953. Starting as a Technical En gineer, he was immediately assigned to work, with two others, on design ing a small calculator. The supervisor of this project was Dr. R. K. Richards, author of “Arithmetic Operation in Digital Computers.” Jerry learned a great deal about computers in a very short time. Incidentally, his partic ular machine is now going into pro- (his brother is a mathematician) and is fascinated by these mathematical marvels which are revolutionizing man’s ways of doing things in so many fields. He enjoys working on large equipment. . . and on “pulses.” “It’s more logical,” he says. “In computer • - '' ^ ' ...C: i "A 4* 4 Assigns problems to his group duction. As Jerry says, “It makes an engineer feel good to see his project reach the production stage—and to be able to follow it through.” Promoted to Associate Engineer after 16 months, Jerry is now the leader of a nine-man team. He as signs problems to his group for solu tion, approves their block diagrams and the models they build. Perhaps an hour a day goes into paper work such as requisitioning equipment for his group and reviewing technical publications, in counseling members of his team and preparing for trips to technical society meetings. Apart from his regular responsibilities, he teaches at night in the IBM school. Why Jerry chose IBM Of course, there were other reasons why Jerry selected IBM. He was vitally interested in computers, and IBM was obviously a leader in the field. He comes from a scientific family This field is so new work, you can actually see things happening, which is not the case with all electronic equipment today. And it’s not all solid math, either. What’s more, this field is so new, that pretty soon you’re up with everybody else.” Gerald has done recruiting work himself for IBM and believes he un derstands some of the college senior’s problems. “I usually begin an inter view by determining a man’s inter plays. The latter is his own interest, which is why he is in advanced ma chine design. He points out that IBM is careful to take these factors into consideration—another reason, per haps, why turnover at IBM is less than one-sixth the national average. What about promotions? When asked about advancement opportunities at IBM, Jerry says, “You can hardly miss in this field and in this company. They tell me sales about double every five years—which in itself makes promotion almost axi omatic.” He endorses the IBM policy of promoting from within, with merit the sole criterion. The salary factor, he remembers, was not his first con sideration. While excellent, the tre mendous advancement potential was of far greater importance. Reviewing fechnica! publications est,” he reports. “Then the diversity of work at IBM enables me to offer him a job which will challenge that interest.” Gerald distinguishes be tween two kinds of engineers—those who like to work on components, such as circuit designs, and those who are interested in the part the component Promotion almost axiomatic • • • IBM hopes this message will give you some idea of what it’s like to be an E.E. in Product Development at IBM. There are equal opportunities for I.E.’s, M.E.’s, physicists, mathematicians, and liberal arts majors in IBM’s many divisions—• Research, Manufacturing Engineering, Sales and Technical Service.Why not drop in and discuss IBM with your Placement Director?
