Best kept secret on campus Loose ladies Center offers career planning caught by walk By STEVE REIS Battalion Staff Writer The elevator doors open on the tenth floor of the Rudder Tower and a hustle bustle of humanity assails the senses. It is here, hidden be hind the many closed doors, that job interviews take place. This is the Placement Center. Besides being the location for on-campus job interviews, the Center works closely with the Per sonal Counseling and Academic Counseling Offices to give students career planning advice. Career planning is only one of four services available in the Place ment Center, said Malon Souther land, the Co-ordinator of Educa tional Placement, in an interview Tuesday. “The four services are Career FALL RETREAT Get away from it all...

Planning, On-Campus Interviews, Educational Placement and Alumni Placement,” he said. Students can come to the Center for occupational advice. They can find out what types of courses they should take, what activities they should take part in and what kind of grades they should make. Job interviews are held in the Center twice during a school year. Companies interview for six to eight weeks during the Fall and about six weeks during the Spring. The Educational Placement divi sion i for any student who will be occupied in any field of education, not just teachers, Southerland said. The Center also acts as a job call service for former students. This year the move is toward career planning. The Center wants to help undergraduates prepare for a good job before it is too late. But the older functions of the Center still remain. They will give information about how interviews are conducted, how to write re sumes and in what fields companies are hiring. To help the student research dif ferent companies, the Center has a library containing brochures about corporations, addresses of schools for education majors, information about federal jobs and occupational literature. “Students should make use of the library,” said Southerland, “be cause of the way the job market looks. They can become aware of the opportunities by using the re ference material available. ” “But we have a very serious prob lem,” said Lou VanPelt, Director of Placement. “The Center seems to be the best kept secret on cam pus.” “Too often,” he said, “50 per cent of the students we address in semi nars d not know about the Place ment Center. “The students should also realize that we offer other services besides just setting up job interviews, ” said Southerland. “We cannot guarantee students jobs,” said VanPelt, “but we can help students learn to make effec tive interview contacts.” Income increases reflect broad economic recovery e have 4 an undeserved lb li* iS To Rejoice m m M >»; M M M M M M M M M M >1K M ^ , Tl|c „ A T ^ I Shape ^ Tlvin Roger Rozell APPOINTMENTS MADE 1-6 WEEKS IN ADVANCE FROM DAY OF HAIR CUT: SAVE $2.00 ON CUT & BLOW DRY.

Another encouraging develop ment came in a separate report showing that the number of Ameri cans collecting state unemployment benefits dropped in the last week of August to its lowest level in seven months. The Labor Department said 3.8 million persons received regular state jobless benefits as of Aug. 30, down 110,000 from the previous Week. The latest batch of statistics from the government also showed the first surplus in just over a year for the nation’s basic balance of pay ments. But they indicated the re covery in the vital home building industry has slowed and could he in trouble in the next few months.

That worked out to a monthlv increase at an annual rate of $18 billion and pushed personal income to $1,256.9 billion at an annual rate. Private wages and salaries, which had slumped during the recession while government salaries and ven- efit payments provided what im petus there was to personal income, rose at an annual rate of $10.7 bill ion. That was the largest dollar in crease since the government began keeping the statistics in 1946. In re lative terms, the increase amounted to 1.8 per cent and was the largest since December 1959, when it was 1.9 per cent. Manufacturing alone contributed $5.4 billion to that increase, primar ily due to a strong performance by the machinery, electrical equip ment, transportation equipment, textile and primary and fabricated metals industries. Personal income is currently 7.7 per cent ahead of where it was a year ago. The balance of payments ac counts, meanwhile, showed a $1.6 billion surplus for the three-month period enging injune. The category measures money flows in and out of the United States for such things as trade settlements and short-term loans, as well as long-term investments. The latest quarterly surplus com pared to a $673 million deficit in the first three months of the year and was the first surplus since the amount of money flowing into the country exceeded the amount flow ing out by $1.7 billion in the first three months of 1974. The shift was attributed primarily to the record $3.3 billion surplus in the trade accounts during the quar ter. The health of the home building industry was measured in the Commerce Department report on the number of new housing units started in August. The number was 105,000, which worked out to an annual rate of 1.26 million units. That was 1.7 per cent ahead of July and 8.2 per cent ahead of a year ago. But the rate of increase also rep resented a moderation from July’s 13.3 per centump. And Commerce also reported that the number of new building permits issued in Au gust was oft’ by 5.5 per cent from July. Associated Press COPENHAGEN — A court has ruled that a policeman can tell from the way a woman walks whether she is soliciting or not, a decision that has enraged Danish prostitutes. “This is ridiculous, ’’ snapped the 22-year-old woman on trial. “If police can judge from a girl s way of walking whether she is out to make business then they should arrest a lot of ladies all over town. The arresting officer told a district court trying the woman on multiple soliciting charges Tuesday that he had frequent y watched her on the street where she lives in Copenhagens re light district of Vesterbro, a short walk from the downtown luxury hotel district. , “I took action only when she was obviously soliciting, an that was easily determined from the way she walked, t e policeman testified. , On his testimony alone the woman was fined $15 — e latest in a hail of fines raining on Vesterbro prostitutes. The woman did not deny she was a prostitute. Prostitution is legal in Denmark, but soliciting in a public place is not. The woman and most other regular prostitutes in Vesterbro live and work in small hotels which are closely watc e ) police. . , The police method that most enrages the women is e close enforcement of restrictions against a taking up a position or soliciting within about 110 yards of their residence. A police rule of thumb is that if a girl remains in the restricted area — which, in some cases, is the entire length ol the street where she lives — for more than five minutes she is in for arrest. Scores of girls hauled into court have protested that they were grabbed while waiting for a friend or doing a bit of shop ping. it right ST. Hawk approval assured Associated Press WASHINGTON — The State Department reportedly reached a compromise agreement with mem bers of Congress Tuesday to assure congressional approval of a prop osed sale of Hawk air defense, mis siles to Jordan. Aides of Sen. Clifford P. Case, R-N. J., said the senator was assured that a written message will he deli vered from President Ford Wed nesday stating that the 14 Hawk bat teries, which carry more than 500 missiles, will be nonmohile. Case led Senate objectors to the Hawk sale initially on grounds that mobile weapons might be sent close to the Israeli border to cover offen sive operations against Israel.
