Robert h.

I wan one of the hi mbs fol lowing the shepherd. I've dyed my wool black mo I could watch tile railroad pull into the sta tion on time. This new covering fails to attract attention so I am safe from detection. Hear ye now. Senate, the feelings of a great number of your "loyal** subjects. Point numlrr one, regarding the last Senate meeting of tail term. The item of Interest here i\as the fair seleetlon of yell king. Four young gentlemen appeared before the Senate to Ih- Interviewed. After the tnter \ lew and tryouts, the .Senate held a discussion to rhoose one of the fellows. During this time, only txxo of the eandldates xxere discussed. Not a word was men tioned nlsiiit Hie other two. Through the smooth handling of the engineer at the controls and a bit of reverse psychology, you-know-who was chosen. I never knew fraternity brothers could be so helpful. The Senate was looking for something new and they got it: nothing. Point number two, regarding • lie first Senate meeting of win ter term. Just as criminals have tilings go all right for a period of time, the Senate hIho got a hit careless. This smooth detail ing wasn't ns subtle as the last It c ouldn't have been. Too many people noticed it. Previous <o th(» FVMlillK the .Senate was to ('onvpnf, u vriTii lug romtnlttn' was set ii|» t■> kniM'k down the niinitM-r of “Senate Hopefuls.” Thirty-nine eundidiites Here to apiM'iir lie fore thin committee. It seems now I hut even this Isn’t neces sary to be among the (inalists. One voting Miss foiled to show up for the screening. To my sur prise, us I read the Emerald the following day, she was listed among the finalists. No, it wasn't too surprising after all. One of her sorority sisters was on the committee But, to cap the whole thing, this young Miss was put on the Senate. I guess she has as much right to belong to a democratic order as anyone, though. I would like to end on this note: If you have a 2.00 GPA and know the chairman of some committee, by all means petition for a position. You can't miss.

DI 4-8216 I A Campus-to-Career Case History Claire Hiusl.a (It’ll) discusses progress of a new telephone building with the contractor. What’s a civil engineer’s job in the telephone company? Claire Hruska graduated in 1953 from the University of Washington with a B.S^ in Civil Engineering. Today he's with The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company. “I su|>ervise construction at every stage,” Claire says. “Every telephone building is designed around the equip ment that will be in it. When a building is needed, 1 work closely w ith the archi tect to make sure his plans fit the needs. Then I check the contractors’ bids. When the contract is let, it's my responsibility to see that the builder sticks to the plans in detail. “Right now I’m handling the construc tion of several telephone exchanges, a large office building in downtown Seattle, and additions to other buildings. It’s satisfying work, because I’m on my own a lot. and getting the jobs done is up to me. “I’ve got a career that offers big as signments and responsibilities, and real opportunities to get ahead in a business that's growing rapidly. That’s what I was looking for.” Claire Ilruska is typical of the many young men who are finding rewarding careers in the Bell Tele phone System.
