WASHINGTON .T Represen
tatives of four Pacific Coast |
cites asked the Civil Aeronau
tics Board today to {five them I
stops on a proposed Pan A uteri-1

stop on the proposed route.
After outlining Oregon's
growth in population and per
sonal income, its position as a
major export area ar.d the No. 1
ranking of Portland airport in
the Pacific Northwest for com- j
mercial airline departures in
1956, Say told the board:

these figures do not justify Poit
larfd being eliminated from any
West Coast Great Circle route
to Tokyo."

“What’s it like to work for a big, ex
panding company like IBM? What
would I be asked to do? Would I ijet
ahead fast?" These were some of the
questions that filled Bob Everett's
mind as he faced up to the big prob
lem, “How can I put my M.B.A.
training to the best possible use?”
Bob came directly to IBM from
Cornell in July, 195o, with an M.B.A.
in finance. He was immediately as
signed, with twenty-nine other
M.B.A.’s, to a Business Adminis
tration training program. This six
month/ program comprised general
orientation in the entire IBM organi
zation, a six weeks’ field trip to the
Developing a new system
Syracuse branch office and several
months at the Poughkeepsie manu
facturing facilities. There he gained a
functional knowledge of IBM ma
chines, particularly the 700 series of
giant electronic computers.
His training completed by January,
1956, Bob was assigned to t he M et hods
Department as a Methods Analyst at
IBM World Headquarters in New
York City. Here, with the cooperation
of operating department personnel, he
worked on the development of systems
and procedures for the various Divi
sion areas. In addition to normal
methods techniques used in develop
ingsystemsand procedures, he studied
these projects in terms of possible
machine application for either IBM
high-speed giant computers or con
ventional accounting equipment. One
project was the study of the Machine
Ordering procedure with the objective
of simplifying and mechanizing it and
at the same time improving the source
information to provide for a more
complete analysis of sales and pro
duction backlog.

Promoted the same year
By December of the same year. Bob
was promoted to his present job —
Administrative Assistant to the Con
troller of the Data Processing Divi
sion. ‘‘The first function of an
Administrative Assistant,” .says Bob,
“is to filter out the ‘hot’ projects
from those that can be handled later.
You follow through on projects as

new position affords a pleasant diver
sification of work: charting divisional
responsibilities of the con troller’sf unc
tion ... plans for decentralization ...
costs of regionalization ... summariz
ing key financial and statistical infor
mation for presentation to top man
agement.
Bob points out that there are many
areas in Business Administration at
IBM for men with an M.B.A. or a
B.S. in accounting: corporate, gen
eral, and factory accounting; internal
audit; methods; payroll and taxes.
Administrative and management
positions constantly open up at World
Headquarters, IBM’s 188 branch
otiices, many plants and laboratories.
Why Bob picked IBM
Bub mark' a careful study of existing
opportunities before selecting IBM
fur his career, lie had a down campus
interviews; took nine company tours.
IBM’s M.H.A. program interested
him — because, as he says. “It gave
me a chance to review the entire
company before starting an actual
line assignment.” lie was intrigued
by the increasing use of data process
ing equipment in finance and he knew
that IBM was a leader in this field.
Salary-wise, he found IBM better
than many, but it was company
growth potential that motivated his
choice. “Opportunity certainly exists
“Opportunity certainly iiitli at IBM"
at IBM,” he nays. "Growth factors
alone will account for many n«-w exec
utive positions. A second factor is the
trend toward decentralization, which
also creates new jobs. These factors,
plus IBM’s ‘promote-from-within*
policy, add up to real opportunity.”
IBM hopes that thin message will help ta
give you some idea of what it’s like to be
in Business Administration at IBM.
There are equal opportunities for U.K.’s,
M.E.’s, physicists, mni hematicians and
Liberal Arts majors in IBM' many divi
sions Research, Product Development,
Manufacturing Engineering, Sales and
Sales Assistance. Why not drop in and
