Urged to Notify
Karl Onthank
“All students graduating in

thank, graduate placement direc
tor.
Onthank reports that many tele
phone calls are now being received
from employers who wish to hire
March graduates.
Even those students who are
seeking employment on their own
initiative should not neglect to
register with the Graduate Place
ment Office, as employers fre
quently call about students who
have not done so.
“Seniors who will graduate in
June should utilize the spring va
cation to seek jobs,” warns Karl W.
Onthank, graduate placement di
rector.
Onthank said the competition in
June will be keen, and those stu
dents who can arrange in advance
for employment should do so im
mediately. He also urged seniors
to register with his office.
Offers of positions in California
and other states as well as Oregon
are being received daily,” he stated.
“Interested students should check
with me before they leave for home
at the end of the term.”

Successful at first, the symphony
again found itself in financial dif
