Civil Service Exam Applications Due for Seniors Interested in Professional, Managerial Positions Applications for examinations for Junior Professional and Man agement Assistant positions with the United States Civil Service Commission are due Nov. 8, with the examination given subsequent to that date, Karl W. Onthank, dir ector of the graduate placement service, announced Wednesday. Senior students, both men and women, are eligible, and any who have any idea of entering civil service either in professional or CAF categories should take this examination without fail, Onthank stated. FORMS AVAILABLE Application forms may be pro cured at the Graduate Placement Office in Emerald Hall. The detail ed announcement and sample ex amination questions may also be found in this office. The examination will not be giv en again until the fall of 1950, and unless it has been taken and passed a person is not eligible for gov ernment appointment at gradua tion. SPRING IS TOO RATE “'“Every spring we have a number of students interested in govern ment employment who find them selves ineligible because they failed to take this examination in the fall,” Onthank warned. Positions to be filled are trainee positions in which young people may begin a career in the Federal service in a variety of professions. Students need not have specialized in technical fields in school to qualify, as the examination is gen eral in nature. In special divisions there are additional tests given. POSITIONS LISTED Graduates are neded in the fol lowing positions: architect, astron omer, bacteriologist, economist. food and drug inspector, geogra pher, geophysicist, landscape archi tect, legal assistant, mathemati cian, physiologist, psychologist, social science analyst, statistician, textile technologist, and junior management assistant. Starting salaries of $2,974 a year are customary for those entering the Federal service through these examinations. Seniors are urged to take this examination not only because it is necessary to get on a federal reg ister in the numerous categories listed, but also because having passed is an excellent recommenda tion for many positions in business and industry outside of the Service. Appointment to Federal govern ment offices in Washington, D. C. have also been selected by the Na tional Institute of Public Affairs from those who have passed this examination. New Regulation For Gl Students Slated by VA A new regulation has been issued by the Regional Office of the Vet erans Administration requiring prior approval for the issue of hooks and supplies for students registered in research or thesis.

Kline emphasized that this regu lation does not affect books and supplies for most students, includ ing those in reading and confer ence courses. Students who have made application for reading and conference supplies may obtain immediate clearance in accordance with the latest interpretation of the GI directive.

Not a hint of one, but a really broad one. “I don’t like to dance with the same girl all evening. In Austria we mix a great deal more. You know—change ?” Ernst Lutz’s meaning was quite clear. It’s not that he doesn't agree with our social codes. If anything, it's just the opposite. He believes that the mixture of social and edu cational work is good for everyone. However: :“One must look for the studies. They do not come to you. This is a good way to make your initiative work.” NATIVE AUSTRIAN Ernie, a foreign exchange stu dent, was born in Weis, halfway between Vienna and Salsburg, Austria. Two years ago, he began the study of English at the Uni versity of Vienna. He applied for a scholarship that would enable him to continue his studies here in the United States. Many other students had the same idea. “I never thought I would be the one to come to America. I’ve never had such luck, you know.” , ENGLISH MAJOR Here at the University, Ernie is majoring in English, with music also taking a great deal of his time. “This fraternity life, it is very good. These Alpha Tau Omega boys treat me like a good, good friend. It is splendid.” His face lit up whenever he talked about the “boys.” The scholarship covers all ex penses. The typical student dream Likes to Ski; ocial Customs - of walking into the co-op and charging material is a reality to Ernie. Just how far the committee would go in paying his bills he doesn’t quite know. GRATEFUL TO KLINE James D. Kline, foreign student adviser, has made not only Ernie, but all foreign exchange students on campus feel at home, the stu dent said. “We are so grateful to him. He has organized our whole stay here. We thank him and thank him.’’ WAITING FOR SNOW Ernie is waiting for his first American snow to fall. Mt. Hood would have been perfect if the snow hadn’t melted, he said. Right now his skiis are stored in the ATO basement while Ernie waits and looks for snow. “If I could only stay more than just this one year. But I must go back and give another person the wonderful opportunity to come to America.” Medical School Meeting Planned Medical School admissions will be discussed informally at a ques tion-and-answer meeting Friday evening at 7:30 in Room 207, Chap man Hall.
