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. In the department of chemical and 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.
