PAGE EIGHT Buckhout Addition Coifed 90% Complete The four-story addition to Buckhout Laboratory is between 80 and 90 per cent completed, but offi doubt if the new unit will be res Excavation on the addition sta eral State Authority awarded bui tentative promised date for the addition was September, 1952. Steel strikes accounted for much of the holdup, Henry W. Popp, head of the Department of Bot any, has explained. General State Authority is a state agency created for the pur pose of borrowing money from the national government for pub lic works construction over the state constitutional debt limit. The money is generally paid by rentals collected from the pro jects. The addition is being con structed entirely for the use of the Department of Botany. When completed, the addition will serve a two-fold purpose, according to Popp.. It will double the capacity of present laboratory facilities, he said, and will provide badly-need ed facilities for the study of bio logical sciences. The department handles over 1500 students each semester, Popp said. The addition has a ground floor and three upper floors. In the WE ASKED THESE RECENT “WHY DID YOU JOIN GENERAL ELECTRIC?” "When I graduated from college I didn’t have a definite idea of what field of engineering I wanted to go into. I joined General Electric because I felt that G.E.’s engineering training program offered the best opportunity to move about freely in an organization whose activities include almost every branch of en gineering. In this way I found the particular specialty for which I was best suited and most interested. ''This has proved to be the case. In one year I have had assignments encompassing many fields of en gineering activities, and I have been given every opportunity to meet and work with experienced en gineers in numerous. engineering fields. "On the basis of the experience thus acquired, I have been able to make an intelligent choice of the particular field of engineering for which my talents, interests, and abilities are best suited.” "I joined General Electric because of the many opportunities I found available for building a suc cessful career. In my chosen field, manufacturing, a development program gives each individual the op portunity to advance his own abilities and talents under experienced guidance. Work assignments, classroom instruction, and discussion periods give every opportunity for career development. Also, an opportunity for specialization is offered throughworking assignments in all major divisions of manufacturing. "Through assignments in these areas a logical decision can be made on final job placement. To me this seems extremely valuable in putting the right nian and the right job together, and thereby greatly enhancing the possibility for success. icials of the Department of Botany idy for use by next semester. srted in spring, 1951, and the Gen ilding contracts in July, 1951.
