,or later helping to get the Col
legian printed and off the presses
in time for you to read it.
An extraordinary capacity for
learning brought Joe to the
University 12 years after his
graduation from Altoona High
SchooL After working for the
Pennsylvania Railroad and as
a magazine binder, he began a
career in journalism by answer
ing an ad for a city editor on a
small weekly newspaper.
However, Joe left editing to
learn the printing trade when he
discovered the men setting type
were earning more than he was.
One of the most fascinating
skills of a printer is his ability
to read metal type which is set,
in reverse. After a while, Joe,
said, a printer can read back-'
wards just as well .as forwards.
"As a matter of fact," he
laughed, "I had a whole set of
dictionaries placed backwards on
a shelf and never noticed it until
a visiting friend pointed it out."
In addition to regular college
studies, he is completing a cor
respondence course in printing.
necessary for journeymanship.
According to Joe, the lessons
on grammar in the course are
even more difficult than those
administered by the University.
Joe hopes to teach college
courses after taking graduate
work in Spanish. He is also
studying Russian and Italian.
When not working or studying,
Joe manages to get a little extra
reading done in his "spare" time.
How much? Only about one book
a week. What type of books?
Non-fiction mostly, he admitted.
Somehow. Joe also finds time
to help classmates with their

' if you're wondering what kind

last semester with a 3.54 grade

There, in the Division of Coun

library; is a storehouse of facts
which provides information rang
ing from graduate schools to job
opportunities for college gradu
ates,
This library has been set up,
according to Dr. Donald Ford,
director of the Division of Coun
seling, "to provide a factual base
for student consideration of career
plans."
In it are three filing cabinets
filled with pamphlets sent out by
firms employing college grad
uates, which state the require
ments for filling positions with
those firms, and bulletins and
pamphlets issued by the Depart
ment of Labor.
The latter contain information ,
on a broad scope about the cur
rent outlook in almost every occu-1
pational field.
There are also volumes dealing ,
with the nation's colleges and uni- 1
"versifies and the courses they of
fer for those students interested
in transferring.
Ford said that much work goes
into keeping the files, known as
the Occupational Information Ref
erence File, or OIRF, as up to date
as possible in order to afford the
greatest advantages to the stu
dents using them.
The library is open daily, Ford
said, and there is always someone
available to help the student find
what he is looking for.
In charge of the library at the
present time is Floyd .Engstrom,
a recently discharged army offi
cer working for his doctor's de
gree.
