Reese. Personal Loans LOANS % $100 Confidential Loan Service University Loan Co. 317 Patricia (North Gate) Telephone 846-8319 Prepare quickly for an office job. Mature women often ore pre ferred by employers tor office lobs. They usually have more sense of responsibility, more judgment and reliability. A business course will qualify you shortly for on excellent salary in an attractive office, among stimulating, successful men and women! NEW TERM STARTS MARCH 17TH Dial 822-6423 Today McKenzie-Baldwin Business College Recruiting in some fields is reflecting a softening in the economy, Reese agreed, but there are jobs available. Companies are more selective than in the past and students are interviewing more firms. Texas A&M has 270 companies scheduled to recruit through the Placement Office during the spring semester, about the same number as last year. Placement Office recruiters are mainly interested in science, en gineering, business and liberal arts graduates, Reese said. The Colleges of Architecture, Educa tion and Agriculture assist their graduates in finding employment. He said BBA accounting majors are in great demand and are receiving excellent starting salary offers. Advanced degrees in sta tistics are bringing top salaries, with January graduates averag ing $1,187 a month with MS de grees. Aerospace engineering majors, who expected a tight market due to defense and space cutbacks, are receiving good offers from companies interested in mechani cal engineers in the past, Reese reported. Cutbacks in research released Ph.D.’s for university teaching, he observed, making the recently- acquired degree holders search hard for teaching positions. Reese pointed out new engi neers are finding it easier to find employment than experienced en gineers released from high salary positions. The new engineer, Reese said, can be hired at less cost and not force a company to change its internal promotion policy. “We are finding too, that com- i For all your insurance needs See U. M.

In past years, students would sometimes wait several months after an offer was made to accept or reject the offer. Salary offers compiled by the Placement Office in early Janu ary are a good indication of pres ent salary trends. The major, number of offers and average starting monthly salary are as follows: Accounting, 14BBA, $804; fi nance, 1BBA, $700; management, 2BBA, $750; marketing, 10 BBA, $725; math, 2 BA, $817; statis tics, 2 MS, $1,187; physics, 2 BS, $848; geophysics, 1 MS, $975; industrial technology, 15 BS, $716; aerospace engineering, 1 BS, $845; chemical engineering, 6 BS, $893. Also, civil engineering, 7 BS, $850; electrical engineering, 1 MS and 3 BS, $925 and $910; industrial engineering, 1 BS, $922; mechanical engineering, 43 BS, $875, and petroleum engineer ing, 2 BS, $910. Assistant Dean of Architecture James Foster advised building has declined in the Southwest, and Houston offices are releasing architects. Most architecture student must hit the pavement and sell them selves to a firm, Foster explained. At the present time there is little on-campus recruiting, however, plans are being developed to bring recruiters to the students. The College of Education has “quite a selection” of teaching positions, according to Mrs. Mel- veme Ozment, recruiting coordi nator. Education graduates and under graduates are still evaluating the selections and have not committed themselves, she said. A majority of the jobs are outside large cities, she noted. “They may not get a job where they want to go, hut the jobs are open,” Mrs. Ozment said. She expects the 60 undergraduates and 40 graduates to be hired by May or June. An additional 32 graduate students have already made commitments. Dr. Richard C. Potts, associate dean of agriculture, observed, “We have as much demand as in the past three years.” Dr. Potts said agriculture ma jors, at the present time, have few problems finding jobs in their fields. The job market is tighter na tionally. Compared to a year ago, the College Placement Council’s sal ary survey reveals a drop in volume of 16 per cent at the bachelor’s level, 26 per cent at the master’s level and 14 per cent at the Ph.D. level. A&M is one of the 141 partici pating institutions in the survey. At the bachelor’s level, techni cal candidates are the hardest hit, experiencing a drop of 24 per cent over last March. This substantial decrease is due in large part to reductions in activity in the aerospace industry, historically the employer group making the most offers. A year ago, the College Placement Coun cil explained, there were 2,284 aerospace offers. This year the number is down to 962. Other major employer groups showing a decline in technical volume are chemicals, electrical machinery and electronics. In terms of dollar values, aver aging starting salaries at the bachelor’s level continue to rise in the face of reduced employer activity. Offers to technical can didates have gone up 5.1 per cent since June—from $819 to $861. Offers to non-techincal students have risen 7.6 per cent for the comparable period, from $711 to $765. The decline in recruiting ac tivity is even more apparent at the master’s level. In three years the volume has decreased 40 per cent since March, 1967, and vol ume for the nine technical pro grams covered in the salary sur vey has declined 60 per cent in the same period. In terms of dollar value of be ginning salary offers, MBAs had been at the top in percentage increased the last several years, with gains of better than nine per cent a year. This year, how ever, the increase is only four per cent since June. Recruiting activity at the Ph.D. level, which appeared relatively strong in the fall, has also drop ped to the lowest point since March, 1967. A final report from College Placement Council will be releas ed in June. 4 Exes Receive Decorations Four former Texas A&M stu dents have received promotions and completed advanced training in the Army.
