1Do You Want a Job? Try Placement Office By Lorna Larson If you’re looking -for a perman j ent job, why not try the Univer ! sity of Oregon Graduate Placement Office ? The placement service cannot guarantee jobs to students, but it can put them in touch with oppor tunity, says Karl W. Onthank, di rector of graduate placement. Em ployers with openings contact the office and, in turn, the office con tacts students who have made ap plication. “Placement interviews” of appli • cants are conducted by Onthank to discuss students’ aims and plans. He can help students discover, or ganize and use their own resources in securing a suitable position. HOME BASE The placement office serves as a “home base” for graduates and stu dents. References and recommen dation may be secured there, and placement workers keep in contact with students even after they leave the campus. Calls for graduates with experience often come in from employers. Occupation opportunities open to University students and grad uates are listed in the office and news of openings is given to the Oregon Daily Emerald for publica tion. A bulletin board with infor mation of job opportunities is also maintained. Jim jNjsvvs Onthank utilizes every opportun ity to talk with employers in var ious western cities and Oregon towns, keeping up to date on the job situation. At present, he is on a trip to California contacting em ployers, alumni, and attending var ious professional personnel meet ings. An indication of the placement work Onthank and his secretary, Mrs. Marian J. Scheckler, are doing is found in a few of the placements made for last year’s graduates. TYPICAL. PLACEMENT William T. Read is personnel technician for the Portland civil service. Marcus L. Youngs serves as Portland sales representative for the National Carbon Company. A research position with Weyer heauser Timber Company was se cured by Donald Cooper. Eastman Kodak Company, Roch ester, N. Y., hired William E. Lotz as an instructor of photography, and Donald E. Clauson is a junior architect with the Bonneville Power Administration. These are but a few of the many placements. Various department —■ i ■ stores, such as Sears and Roebuck, Montgomery Ward, and J. C. Pen ney, have hired a large number of graduates under college training programs. Advertising agencies and publishing companies in Cali fornia and Oregon have openings for journalism and advertising stu dents. MUST KNOW STUDENTS Placement office workers urge students or graduates to drop by their office on the second floor of Emerald Hall, room 216, to talk over the job situation. To help students, the placement service must know them. There fore, they ask students to get ap plications in early, talk over aims and interests with placement work ers, and keep in touch with the office.

Art Prof to Show Slides, Speak at Browsing Room Mark Sponenburgh, assistant professor of art, will talk on the “Stone Calvaries of Brittany” as part of the Ethel R. Sawyer Brows ing Room Hour today from 4 to 5 p. m. He will illustrate his speech with slides. Last summer Sponenburgh spent several days of a two month vaca tion on an art pilgrimage touring the stone calvaries. They are relig ious monuments of the ancient Gaelic culture of sixth century Brittany. Brittany is located in Western F'rance. “The monuments are most unus ual in that nothing in the world can compare with them in design and style. They are products of a civli zation which lias been quite sepa rated from France,” he declared. Sponenburgh stated that he has studied and has had an interest in the stone sculptures for some time. He added that mystery and mysti cism have always encircled these architectural structures and the strange ways of the civilization in which they were created. Speaking of his Brittany art tour, he stated that the means of transportation were walking, rid ing, and hitch-hiking and even rides on oxcarts were not uncommon ex periences. Everyone may attend the talk in the browsing room o fthe Library. Insurance Dividends Deducted To Pay on Veterans' Debts Veterans owing money to the government may find that all or part of their share of the forth coming special dividend payment of the National Service Life In surance have been deducted to cover their debts, the Veterans Ad ministration reported Monday. This will apply to veterans who owe the government money as the result of overpayments on subsis tence allowances or other benefits or defaults on loans guaranteed by the Administration. The Veterans Administration es timated that between 20 and 30 million dollars may be collected from these dividends. Some 600,000 veterans are cur rently indebted for a total of about 70 million dollars. The bulk of this amount constitutes overpayments on subsistence allowances for vet erans taking education courses un der the GI bill. Many veterans are repaying in debtedness by having deductions made from their monthly checks. When the overpayment is wiped out, as it may be by the dividend deduction, there will be no further withholding.
