Getting Rougher
Many of last year’s graduates failed to find
jobs—still others were forced to accept posi
tions with which they are dissatisfied.
In many cases this was due to the fact
that these people either ignored the College
Placement Service and the various school and
departmental placement services, or solicited
these services ■ too late in the school year.
WITH THE ANNOUNCEMENT by George
N; P. Leetch, director of the College Place
ment Service, that this year’s graduates •Will
find it harder to get jobs than any class since
pre-war days should come the realization that
the Placement Service will prove particularly
valuable to students this year.
Its aim is to help students and graduates
best suited and to help employers by pro
apply for and find jobs for which they are
viding a single point, of contact in their
search i for college-trained men and women.
Any student or graduate who fails to take
advantage of this service is simply denying
himself something to which he is entitled.
No one student could possibly learn of all
the 'job possibilities open to him if finding
them out were left solely to himself. But by
reading the College Placement Service an
nouncements regularly and by filing his name,
qualifications and preferences at the Place
ment Office, he can conveniently meet the
representatives of employee-seeking companies
through interviews arranged by the Place
ment Service.
Announcements for campus interviews are
posted on the Placement Service bulletin board
in the lobby of Old Main, on departments,
bulletin boards and in the “Gazette,” a fea
ture of the Daily Collegian which appears
on this pager
So don't find yourself out on a limb clutch
ing your sheepskin come graduation May.
Act now and line up that job. Go up to 204
Old Main today and meet Mr. Leetch and
experience the service rendered by him and
his staff.
It’s not too early to start thinking about
such things. For instance, the U. S. Civil Ser
vice has jobs for people from practically every
curriculum. Application, must be made by stu- (
dents interested in taking an examination to
fill these jobs, either at the College Placement ■
Service or at ■ the U. S. Post Office, not later
than November 8.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
Football season now is here
With the band aitid crowd and cheers
With the parties and the booze
And the hunt for hotel rooms.—Anonymous*
* • *
WHICH BRINGS up the subject for today. Etiquette in hotel
rooms.* ... • /
The time'is not far off when the annual exodus of students
from the Nittany Vale to the metropoli of Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh will be in full swing. O
Each year, comes pigskin-booling lime, all and sundry (in- ?
eluding engineers) pack up a,few belongings and coverage on the
two cities 'at the opposite ends of the Commonwealth to follow
the grid fortunes of the, Nittany Lions in their, yearly tussles
with Temple and Pitt, respectively.
’ Most of 'the touchdown-followers take up /residence in" some
of the bigger hotels for the/weekend. For the benefit of those who
are planning to reserve rooms, here’s a few tips on how not to
raise the ire of some already-harried hotel manager.
—AI Ryan
IF ANY READER wishes to do further research into the
subject, all the suggestions outlined in this column, as well' as
dozens of others, 'can be found in a fascinating trade booklet en
titled “How to Exclude aiid Eject Undesirable Guests.” The author
is a Mr. John Sherry, who, I am told, is no relation to the wine of
the same name. . .
The first problem encountered, is gaining admittance to the
hostel desired. According to Mr. Sherry, a hotel may legally
refuse to admit drunkards, thieves; or ''filthy persons; as for ex
ample a chimney sweep in his working clothes" ...
Further research on my part disclosed no evidence, ; however,
to substantiate the rumor, that hotels will refuse to admit refugees
from Dr. Olewine’s chemistry classes, adorned in their acid-splotch
ed regalia. 3 •
THEY .MAY ALSO keep out a man who breaks down the
front door or one who comes with intent to pick t ,a fight, Sherry
gdes on. And how does the manager know if one- of his perspec
tive customers plans to instigate a minor riot?
Baggage is another problem. If you’re worried about what
to take along for the weekend, here’s a few things the student
would be better off without.
A hotel may refuse to check, among other items, a package
of dynamite, a Wild tiger . . . or a bag of .fertilizer, things every
normal college boy has at school just for emergencies.
The courts are fairly liberal, about defining baggage, how
ever. The hotel of your choice must admit your piano, if you
so desire, “Unless it is too large to be brought m conveniently.”
That’s the court decisions boys. * -

The Gripes of Roth
"Knocking down lhe doorman before ,eniry would be good
evidence of speh intent." states the hpndy little manual. Of
course I've never taken any courses in hotel; administration, but
personally. I think the manager is jumping to conclusions. Just
because some Joe lakes a swipe at his doorman is no reason
to think he's pugnacious. The, poor soul may have been an
