Job in Senate Said Exciting Washington-(UPD-If you want a job in one of the most ex citing "places in Washington the United States Senate perhaps the easiest route is to have a father who's a Unit ed States Senator. That's the path traveled by attractive and efficient Diane Carroll, daughter of Colo rado s Democratic Sen. John A. Carroll. But the crack 26- year-old executive secretary, who has hired the seven oth er girls on her father's staff, has other tips. First, a recommendation from someone in the home state. Second, experience in a legislatively helpful field. Third, "congeniality," plus typing and shorthand. a .senate start job may start at about $3,00tt a year. The top job in a senate office has a legal ceiling of $16,300 il m i .. . . mai oi administrative as sistant, i On the experience question, Diane finds her two years as a District Court clerk in Den ver an asset in matters which her father deals with as a member of the Judiciary Com mittee. Another staffer in the office is a former employee of the Army's liaison office and helps in military matters crossing the Senator's desk. As for typing and short hand, Diane feels most girls underrate them as a job entre which can overshadow an A.B. degree in, say, political science. Important to remember in applying for a senate job is that it could lead o many other places in the govern ment. Carroll currently is looking for a new administrative as sistant because his former aide has gone back home to run for Congress, well brief ed for the office from his duty with Carroll "on the Hill." Even if a Senator can't hire you, he or his office may help a promising applicant find a spot on a senate committee or in a government department or agency. To Initiate Royal Neighbors of Ameri ca will meet Thursday, Octo ber 2, at 7:30 p. m. at the Py thian hall. Initiation will be held and formal dress is re quired of the officers.
