B. Young, counsellor for men students, urged all seniors who have not already. done so to fill out the job interview forms now available in the Dean's office, 132 Sparks Building. The information requested on these forms is of vital importance both to the interviewer and the student; Professor Young said, and after answering the necessary questions, the forms should be re turned to the Dean's office, through which the interviews . are made possible. Stressing the fast that women are .also eligible to fill out - the forms, Professor Young pointed out that although Miss Julia G. Brill is the official counsellor for women students, all job interviews are handled in conjunction with him. "It is deplorable that many of the male students who are eligible for the draft have the wrong atti tude in feeling that the inter viewers wouldn't be interested in them because they are going into the :armed forces," stated Profes sor Young. "I can, hoWever, point out many instances in -which business firms have kept in con tact with favorable draftees," he added. "Business executives like men to work for them who have had the aiscipline and morale of army training. If a student about to be drafted makes a good" impression upon the interviewer, his chanCes of - obtaining a job with that firm are enhanced rather than de creased," Professor Young con cluded.
