.Junior in History
Kmernld Kdltor:
I think It's time for one of
tin- frustrated studentti of our
illu.striouH Alum Mater to gaze
from behind the gul.se of a
pseudo-intellect and any a few
worda regarding campus poll
tlra.
t'ntil I got in connection with
tli • inaiile wire to Senate activi
ties. 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.

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. For more information on career
opportunities in the Bell Telephone Companies,
Bell Telephone Laboratories, Western Electric and
Sandia Corporation, see your placement officer.
