The Placement Service gives students the opportunity to meet
representatives of some of the largest and best known companies
and agencies in the United States through interviews at the Uni-

Borough Council
Authorizes Work
On Sewerage Line
State College Borough Council
Monday night took the next step
in connection with its sewerage
expansion program by -including
the construction of a sewerage
treatment plant.
The council authorized the con
sulting engineers, Morris Knowles,
Inc. of Pittsburgh, to start the
field work necessary to design
lines for the new areas developed
since the original plans were
drawn up two years ago.
Members of council said they
were in favor of competitive bid
ding rather than private negotia
tions to sell bonds for financing
the $2,400,000 project.
The University, under a joint
agreement, will construct and op
erate the sewerage plant and the
borough will contribute toward
the cost.
It is to be located near the duck
pond, east of the borough.

Interviews with these represen
tatives can be made from Feb. 13
to the middle of May. Approxi
mately 300 employers send their
representatives to the University
every spring. An additional 100
employers applied to the Univer
sity this year to hold interviews,
but they applied too late, so stu
dents interested in these particu
lar agencies may apply by letter.
They will be announced in the
Daily Collegian.
Leetch stressed the importance
of students applying early for in
terviews. The purpose of early ap
plication is twofold. First, the stu
dent has the opportunity to select
an interview time most conven
ient to him, and second, if too
few or too many students apply
for interviews with a particular
employer, the University can in
form the employer of this situa- f
tion in advance and the employer
can act accordingly, Leetch ex
plained.
A new system of announcing
these interviews in the Daily Col
legian has been put in effect. In
terviews to be held on a certain
'day will be announced for one'
day only, two weeks before the
interviewer will be on campus.
Leetch said that many students
have the mistaken idea that these
interviews are held for students
in technical fields like Engineer
ing and Mineral Industries only.
"There are plenty of jobs for Lib
eral Arts graduates as well as
engineers," said Leetch.
More interviews are available
to engineers than liberal arts
graduates, however, because there
are more representatives coming
from large corporations through
out the country to interview stu-H
dents in technical fields, while
those desiring employees in non
technical fields are more localized,
said Leetch. Nevertheless, there,
are three jobs available to every.
student in a non-technical field,
although the average number of
jobs available to students in a •
technical curriculum is approxi
mately 12 to 15 jobs. Companies
like DuPont, Eastman Kodak and
IBM hold separate interviews for
technical and non-technical ma
jors.
Leetch stressed that men sub
ject to the draft should make their
appointments for interviews now.
Employers will hire them for the
amount of time they will be able
to work before being drafted.
An advantage of applying for
a job before being drafted is that
a man's years in the service will
count as years of employment,
adding to seniority in the ) coin
-Ipany. If a certain company sub-
I scribes to a plan in which an
empk.yee receives a raise after
five Years of employment, for ex
ample, the serviceman will be
included in this when he returns
II to his job.

A F ROTC
Decision
Reversed
The Air Force has reversed a
decision made last December to
cloSe more than 20 college Air
Force Reserve Officers Training
Corps units.
Donald A. Quarks, Secretary of
the Air Force, made the reversal
after receiving protests fr o m
members of Congress and some of
the colleges concerned.
The action was planned to affect
those colleges producing insuffi
cient R.O.T.C. graduates w h
could qualify for pilot instruction.
The University would not have
been affected by the plan.
Quarles made the reservation,
however, that it might yet be
necessary to close some of the
units where output of pilot ma
terial is low after further evalu
ation of the program by the Air
Force.
The Air Force has not dis
closed the colleges that would
have been shut down but other
sources named Columbia Univer
sity as one.
A Columbia spokesmen said
the Air Force R.O.T.C. program
would probably be disbanded
when the last of its members
graduate in June, 1957.
