'FRIENDLY HOME BASE'
Graduate Placement Service
Outlines Program Objectives
By Virginia Dailey
Emerald Reporter
Jobs for University of Oregon
graduates are generally plentiful,
; but the particular job best suited
to the individual is more difficult
to find, says Karl W. 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

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.
