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.

THE OWL
HOOTS
Two men from the llanford
Atomic Products Operation of the
General Electric Company in
Richland, Wash., came to the
campus Thursday to appraise the
Auio-Die.se! 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.

CAPITOL MEMO...
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.

You can reach tlie buyers ancf the trade with one big gun the daily

Because newspaper readership is almost universal, 86.4 of all U.S.
homes receive a daily newspaper. . . almost 100 million people read a
newspaper every day. That means advertising in the newspaper reaches
everybody the buying public plus the wholesalers and retailers you do

These businessmen don't need to be sold on the 'alue of newspaper

The results of this session could

power.
