jt- By AL CEISS Last week on the Oregon Tech campus may well have been des ignated "Student Recruitment Week." We think that Frank Stan- ko. director of placement, won the award for being the busiest official host and facility-arranger for recruiters who come to Ore gon Tech to interview students. -"This is the busiest week I've had since I came to Oregon Tech in 1956." Frank said. "This Ire mendous splurge at the beginning of spring term is probably be cause firms are attempting to get here early before graduates have obligated themselves to other firms." The splurge began on Thurs- day and Friday of the preceding week when three representatives from Argonne National Labora tories in Idaho Falls, Idaho, and three representatives from the Xlndcrwood - Olivetti Corporation liom New York spent both days on campus. The recruiters from Argonne were interested in grad uates from the electronics, draft' ing, mechanical, automotive, die- eel, gunsmithing, machinist, weld' ing, and secretarial technologies. Jt is interesting that the inter viewers from the Underwood-Oli vetti Corporation flew here from Jvew York specifically to inter view students from the office Jnachines and. medical techno! jngies. J On Monday, April 2, two field Managers from the International Business Machines Company at Beverly Hills, Calif., came to spend three days interviewing electronics students. Incidentally, they found it necessary to stay an extra day. Two men from the Bureau of l'ublic Hoads spent Wednesday interviewing surveying, highway,1 and structural design technology students. Two recruiters from the Pacific Fruit and Produce Company from Seattle spent Thursday and Friday interview ing accounting technology stu dents for managerial trainee po sitions with the company. Also on Thursday, a recruiter from the U.S. Geological Survey in Memo Park, Calif., came to Interview surveying and highway technol ogy students for field surveyor positions in their topographical di vision. Also on Thursday, one man made a flying trip from the Law rence Itadiation Laboratory of the University of California searching for a new breed of technician for their new environ mental lest area. An environmen tal test technician which is a new concept in technician posi tionsis one who will work with mechanical and electronic instru ments and equipment under vari ous types of environmental con ditions such as high and low temperatures, snow, sand, various wind velocities, vacuums, and un der G stresses. This recruiter, who was interviewing electronics students, also interviewed a gun smithing student and a mcchni nil student for possible employ ment in explosive research in their weapons program.

Division programs as a potential source of recruitment for foremen in their equipment maintenance program. Next week the splurge will ta- pcr off with recruiters from the Oregon State Highway De partment at Salem and Aerojet- General Corporation at Sacramen to. The Mercury, Nevada Branch of the Lawrence Radiation Labor atory is scheduled for a visit on April 29. Many of the potential spring term graduates have received sol id offers and many others have prospects for very desirable posi lions. Along with the heavy re cruitment visitation program has come a barrage of phone calls and letters requesting recom mendations for sludents for a number of varied types of posi lions. "What amazes me," Frank Stanko said, "is that every firm picks Uie top 10 per cent and yet every student gets hired." The reason is, of course, because dif ferent firms have different ways of measuring quality of students and each has a different set of criteria for establishing its defini tion of quality. It is becoming customary that each year a number of Oregon Tech professors are selected to attend summer institutes spon sored by the National Science Foundation or by the American Society for Engineering Educa tion in conjunction with the Atom ic Energy Commission. It is a distinctive recognition of the qual ity of Oregon Tech's faculty and its educational program that so many are accepted each year to these very limited programs. Most of these programs arc lim ited to 25 or 30 instructors from the whole United States. This summer Waller Spencer and Ole Lunde will be attend ing the program at the Univer sity of Houston in Texas. Don Whitwer and Earl Kurtz will be attending UCLA in Los Angeles. John Anderson will go to the Uni versity of Missouri and Wally Richartz to the University of Illi flois. Each is an cighl-weck ses sion designed to improve the quality of teaching high-level mathematics and science espe cially nuclear science to potential aides to scientists and engineers. Professor Charles Jacobi re ports thai an X-ray graduate stopped by his home a couple of weeks ago to tell him how glud he is to be an OTI graduate. 11 seems that the interview did not appear to be much in his favor until he told the radiologist that he had an associate degree from Oregon Tech. The student said (hat us soon as that was men tioned the interview ended and he was selected for the position. Advertising for bids for the buildings in Phase II on the new campus started Saturday, March 29. Bids will be opened on April 30. If funds arc made avail able for construction, contracts will be let based upon the best bid and it is anticipated that con struction would begin within 4." duys after the contracts are awarded. Members of the Wins and Means Committee of the leg islaturc visited the new campus yesterday.

Views Differ On CAPITOL MEMO By ZA.N ST A UK I'nilcd Press International SALEM IUPII- Is Gov. Mark Hatfield right when he terms this a "snails pace" legislature? Are legislative leaders right when they say this is the "hardest working" legislature in memory? The answer depends on w hether you measure by number or by content. And to understand who is right, you have to know the process in volved in getting a bill through the legislature to the governor's desk. Tlie Senate has received more than 420 bills, in addition to more than a score of memorials and resolutions. The House has about 820 bills and more than two score memo rials anij resolutions in addition to more than 100 budget bills. The budget bills automatically go to the Ways and Means Com mittee which is made up of both representatives and senators. Aft er review by a subcommittee, such bills go before the full com mittal', then, if approved, go to the house. Non-revenue bills follow a dif ferent course. Let's follow a mythical house bill through the legislature. A representative presents his proposed bill to the Legislative Council Committee which drafts it into legal form. . The representative then "intro frwto; Loonrf duces" the measure, and it goes to the state printer. The bill is given a "first read ing" a few days later. The next day it is given a "second reading" and sent to a committee. There are 20 House committees. This is where the real work be gins. A measure may breeze through a committee after one hearing. It may require many hearings. The committee can recommend "do pass." and send the bill back to the house for action. The committee may "defer" or "table" a bill. This is the polite way of killing a bill, for technical ly it is still under consideration. A "do not pass" recommenda tion will send it to the floor in hopes the bill will be killed. Quite often several legislators will introduce similar bills. In these cases, a committee may take the best parts from each pro posal and combine them into one amended bill. If the measure clears tlu: House, it is sent to the Senate where the whole process is re pealed. A House-approved bill may be killed in a Senate committee, or -IS Efforts Of Legislators on the Senate floor. It also may be amended. If the Senate amends a House measure, it must tlien go back to the House. If the House does not agree with the amendments, the measure then goes to a con ference committee. Many of the hundreds of bills introduced this session are unim portant. Many are "special inter est proposals submitted by a legislator at the request of the folks back home. The problem facing this session is that the state has serious mon ey troubles. For the first time in recent years there is no surplus Taxes must be raised. Exhaustive hearings are being held on methods of increasing taxes. The Ways and Means Com mittee is critical of every budget. Legislators not only are faced with a difficult job, they are deal ing with an unpopular one rais ing taxes. An improperly drawn lax pro- We Work In Dirt!
