Onthank, di rector of the University graduate placement office and associate di i rector of student affairs. In line with this problem of matching individuals to jobs is the objective of the graduate place ment service: 1. to provide stu dents with an opportunity to meet employers who have vacant posi I tions in line with the talents, training and experience which they have; 2. help the person to develop his own resources for getting a suitable position; 3. serve as a friendly ‘'home base,” ready to sup • port each individual with refer ences and recommendations and, 4. help with information and counsel on occupational oppor tunities. Onthank stated that the Univer ■ sity is concerned about finding an outlet for the training and talents of its graduates. The placement ' office, he said, works closely with the faculty and with the counsel ing center. There is a terrific de ; mand, he stated, for the graduate ' who ranks high in his field. Grad uates of the University who rank high in their field also rank high in national competition. Employers Couie I During the latter part of winter term and during spring term a ! large number of employers come to the campus looking for person | nel .and they come here, he said, with the intent of hiring person nel who are potential vice-presi dential material. Each person, said Onthank, is selected with much more care because each one 1 will be put through a thorough training program. | Firms are very selective because : they want quality personnel who will be successful Onthank stated. First step in the progress to j wards empolyment is registration in the placement office. A form is provided for the necessary infor ; mation and *for letters of recom mendation from the faculty, which are kept confidential. Each student is asked to furnish several photographs of himself. Onthank urges each student, re gardless of present interest or need for a job, to contact the office so that the information may be on i hand for any employer who checks A NEW SUH FOR SPRING • Cost no more than a ready-made suit ;• Fitted to perfection • Styled in up to the minute fashions • Made expertly by experienced tailors Prices start at $55.50 dy/lCty&Uf, 4 Fine Tailoring llth and Oak Phone 5-4771 on the application, or for future employer reference. It is surprising to note, he said, the number of employers who check up on applicants. The gov ernment checks on everyone whom it is considering for a job, he stated. Of major importance, says the placement director, is leaving rec ords with the office not later than the junior year. Connections made while in school, even before u student is seeking definite em ployment, are invaluable. Onthank advises that a student see a num ber of representatives. Science Needs Men For men who are entering the service. Onthank believes a run ning start may be had on future employment by leaving the rec ords with the placement office. He said that more than half the men in the service begin making con nections in their field long before they are out of the service. The most urgent need for per sonnel is in the field of science, he said. For the person who can qualify, the field is open for chem ists, mathematicians, physicists, geology, electronics, optics and many more —and at good salaries. Another great need, he said, is for social service and welfare ad ministrators. Hospital executives and hotel managers are also much in demand. The medical arts are always short of people. For the women. tnoro is a special demand tor me University woman with nursing training for education and admin istrative work and also for public health work, he said. Teachers In Demand There is an increasing demand for people in the teaching pro fession, particularly on the ele mentary school level. More and more men are demanded in the elementary schools, Onthank said, and the pay is now on the high school level. Teacher placement is handled by the teacher placement service through the school of edu cation.. Kor the student who Is inter ested in some field of writing there are positions in advertising, on magazine staffs, free lance and many other fields for which the University offers instruction. Similar to this is journalism training, for which placement is handled by Carl C. Webb through the Oregon Newspaper Publish er's association. In the east, On thank stated, there seems to be a surplus of journalists but, he con tinued, the University cannot sup ply the demand for its journalism graduates. He attributed this in part to the fact that the journal ism school is an outstanding one. Business Jobs Available jobs in business are innumerable, he stated. Sales, pro duction, traffic, auditing mid ac counting are but a few of tha areas. Many Campus Honoraries at UO (Continued from faqe tu-o) DuHainie; exchequer, Steve Tyler, clerk.
