New Petroleum Lab
Nears Completion
Over 90 per cent of the Petroleum Refining Laboratory
Is built.
Hert Zog, general inspector of the General State Author
ity, reported that about 10 per cent of the entire construction
project remains incomplete, and the contractor's completion
date is April, 1960.
The lab near Buckhout Lab
oratory is being constructed in
conjuncEon with the Hammond
Engineering Building, under the
contract leased to S. H. Evert Co.,
Inc., of Bloomsburg.
No building on campus, be
sides the new one, is designed as
a Petroleum Laboratory. Stu
dents are presently using chem
istry, physics, and engineering
laboratories for their experi
ments.
The new structure will contain
storage rooms, offices, and rest
rooms in addition to the modern
laboratories. All rooms and halls
will be equipped with acoustic
ceilings and raked block concrete
walls.
Laboratories are specially fur
nished for gas and vapor research.
Each has an exlfiust hood for es
caping gases and vapor proof
lights, with the switch out of the
room, The switch will throw an
arc when you turn it on and va
por is in the room," explained
Zog„
The entire project, as part of
the Hammond Engineering Build
ing, is being built through the
General State Authority, who in
turn will sell or rent the rights
of the buildings to the University.

Exams. Quizzes
Discussed By
Ag Hill Council
What is an examination? What
should be its objectives? How do
students feel about the present
system of examinations?
Students in the College of Agri
culture expressed their opinions.
last night at the Ag Hill Council
meeting. The discussion of tests
was first suggested by Dr. Paull
M. Althouse, assistant director of '
resident education in agriculture,
when he spoke to the council at
its last meeting.
Most of the students seemed
to feel that examinations, includ
ing bluebooks, should "give us a
chance to apply what we've
learned in a course." As one put
it, "Exams should be an expression
of how much we know."
Many felt that present exams
stressed "cramming in the facts"
and that often they were simply
tests of recall.
One student objected to having
to take Ihree and four bluebooks
in one day. "This overload of
exams leads to cramming," he
said.
Members of the council also
felt that professors can profit
from blueboks because this is a
way by which they can judge how
well they are getting their sub
ject matter across to the class.

Cook Gives Advice
For Job Interviews
Every student is likely to be
a job hunter at one time or an
other, and to many an inter
view with a prospective em
ployer is a stumbling block.
"There is no need to be nervous
at an inierview It is a chance to
see if mutual interest exists be
tween student and employer,"
Donald Cook, head of the Place
ment Division, said.
Each year about 650 companies
interview students at the Univer
sity Placement Service in 112 Old
Main.
The interviewer will consider
grades carefully, because they
are an indication of what a stu•
dent got from his education.
Extracurricular activities have
more or less weight depending
upon the nature of the job in
question, for example, a sales job
or engineering postion. A stu-

dent's contribution to each of his
activities is also considered. Some
interviewers may also ask how
spare time is used, Cook said.
Good faculty evaluations and
part-time or summer experience
in the student's particular field
will be to his advantage, he con
tinued.
Does the student have a sin
cere interest in the work he is
being interviewed for? Does he
really want to be a part of the
company that is interviewing
him? These are things that in
terviewers watch for very caro
-1 fully, he said.
Cook listed the following pre
'requisites for students going into
interviews:
The student should be sure he
makes a good first impression. He
should be able to talk about him
self easily, with poise and self
conficlen.:e. He should be neat in
every aspect of his appearance.
Most of the time salaries will
,not be discussed at the first inter
view, Cook said.
