jects have been the chief sources of
work for graduating students in the
civil engineering department. Prac-
tically all of these students have ob-
tained employment, according to
Prof. Lewis M. Gram, head of the
department.
The largest single employer of civil
engineering students has been the
Michigan State Highway Department,
which is in the process of building up
a, large organization for the utiliza-
tion of work relief funds granted
under the PWA and WPA units of
the Federal government. Prof. J.
H. Cissel of the department is now
on leave from the College, and is
superintending the bridge construc-
tion projects of the highway depart-
ment. A number of the students are
working with him on construction
jobs throughout the state.
Professor Gram reports an actual
scarcity in civil engineering students
available for employment who have
had experience. He finds that the
WPA and PWA have only started to
absorb the number of engineers
which their full programs require, and
that positions on these projects will
continue to be opening up for a long,
time to come. On the other hand,,
employment in private work is rela-
tively small, only a few of the stu-
dents having secured jobs in non-,
governmental civil engineering fields.

By ARNOLD S. DANIELS
A set of complicated, dangerous-
looking instruments wa's installed
yesterday in the broadcasting room
of Morris Hall amidst great rejoic-'
ing by the speech department of the
University. The equipment, known
as the "Presto Recording Apparatus,"
has long been one of the greatest
needs of the speech department in its
research into diction and the correct-
ness of speech faults. Until this time,
a dictaphone has been used for theI
purpose, and because of the fact
that very few individual recordings
can be made, the results have been
of little value.
The new equipment will be used
by the 300 students taking speech 31
and 32, "where," says Professor Gail
E. Densmore, "it isalmost necessary
for effective teaching of all phases
of speech."
By means of the recording'appara-
tus it will now be possible to present
metallurgical engineering approxi-
mately 80% of the senior graduating
students from last year, and all of the
advanced and Ph.D. students have
found employment, according to the
records of the department. Although
no definite statistics are available,
this is a decided improvement over
the employment figures of this time
a year ago.
A majority of these employed stu-
dents are working in the larger com-
panies, and the jobs include a wide
variety of chemical engineering pro-
cesses. More students are working
in the petroleum field than in any of
the other processes, while less popular
concerns include activities in the al-
kali, gas and coke, rubber, organic
chemicals, iron and steel industries.
to students the "before and after"
of speech defect treatment; it will
also be used as a control stimulus in
testing audience response. A unique
feature of the recorder is that it is
able to record, and play back what it
is recording simultaneously. In this
manner the student will be able to
have a permanent record made of his
voice while the instructor is study-
ing it. The ease and rapidity with
which the equipment can be handled
will also make it possible to take al-
most twice as many individual rec-
ordings as was formerly possible by
using the dictaphone and other less
developed methods.
