CLASSIC WAR STORY
“FIGHTING 69TH”
JAMES CAGNEY
By AMY ROSENTHAL
ministration of the Armstrong
Cork Company, Lancaster, said
that many businesses preferred a
student with a broad undergrad
uate base who could be trained to
specialize with a company.
He listed four advantages that
accrued from a liberal education.
These are: a storehouse of facts
about men and things, the ability
to analyze a problem, put together
the facts, and come up with con
clusions. tolerance of other peo
ple's opinions and sound judg
ment.
Smith said the problems faced
by liberal arts students in try
ing to get jobs "center around
lack of career thinking and not
enough active job seeking."
The school can help solve these
problems by holding career coun
seling, job guidance programs and
placement seminars in the sev
enth semester. Smith also urged
greater cooperation between the
liberal arts deans, faculties, and
students and the school place
ment service.
The student must realize that
the task of getting the right job
is important and difficult. “Don’t
apologize for lack of experience
but pick out your strong points,"
Smith said.
He pointed out that many stu
dents have a "let nature lake
its course attitude" instead of
trying to sell themselves to
their prospective employers.
Smith said that for a successful
career an employe must have an
interest in his job, be willing to
work to improve himself, learn
to work as a team man, learn from
his mistakes, accept responsibil
ity, be loyal to the company, be
alert for opportunity and believe
in the free enterprise system.
Every year new things are dis
covered that will lead to more
and greater job opportunities,
Smith said.

the latter, 17 per cent felt that it
might be improved by better or
ganization and more student par
ticipation.
The television talk on tha
library received the most nega
tive reaction. Thirty per cent
of the students recommended
that it be eliminated.
In a study conducted on the en
tire freshman class, it was found
that 12 per cent .attended the
faculty talks. Ninety-five per cent
of those who attended indicated
that they should be continued as
part of the program. Students
who did not attend said that they
were not aware that the lectures
I were being offered or that Orien
tation Week was already too
crowded with activities.
The most persistent criticism
of the various activities concerned
the lack of organization in sev

lack of participation by students.
