Women Urged
To Attend Daily
Tryouts Today
Every fall they come around, a new
crop of willing women's staff tryouts.
They are a year older, smart and
eager, but as helpless as the freshman
being herded through on inspection
tourg.-
"What's a b.f.?"
"How do you work these phones?
What do I punch?" .
"How much do you count for M?
Where's the room where they keep
the cuts? Why didn't they print my
story?"
This year in order to enable next
fall's try-out staff to get a head
start, the spring try-out period is
being extended. A special meeting for
all available freshmen women is being
held this afternoon, gathering at the
women's desk in the Student Publi-
cation's Building at 4:30, Janet Hiatt,
'42, new Woman's Editor, announced.
The training period, which includes
instruction in head writing, and gen-
eral familiarity with the Woman's
Page style, will prepare freshmen
and sophomores for work in the fields!
If you don't doodle, you're not
human! Everybody doodles in class,
.o this time doodle neatly on a clean
sheet of paper and who knows, the
committee in charge of the Doodle
Dance may hand you a luscious five
dollar bill.
Go lose yourself in a telephone
booth, or slouch down in a good stiff
classroom seat and the next thing
you know you've got a doodle child
there in front of you and that's all
you need, says Anthon Endres, '41A,
chairman of the Doodle Dance Car-
toon Contest.
Open To Anybody
The contest, sponsored by the com-
mittee in charge of the Doodle Dance,
the absent-minded artists' spree, is
open to anybody on campus who
thinks his cartoon, sketched in an
oblivious moment, might have some
point 'to it.
You don't have to be genius, En-
dres said emphatically, you just need
some idea, the crazier the better,
concerning the various phases of cam-
pus life, such as activities, publica-
tions, faculty members, BMOC's, etc.
Cartoons may be presented in black
and white or any color or combination
of colors desired, and any media may
be used, but it is required that
sketches are made on the regular 8
x 11 sized sheet.
Doodles will be judged by a jury
composed of prominent professors
and outstanding campus celebrities.
In order to make the judging purely
Sophomore Cabaret
Interviews To End
Tomorrow At 5 P.M.
Interviews for Sophomore Cabaret
central committee positions will close
at 5 p.m. tomorrow. Originality and
uniqueness of ideas for a central
theme will weigh heavily in a choice
of chairman.
"Sunshine, Inc.," .1940 Sophomore
Cabaret, was the first to have its
central committee chosen in the
spring instead of the fall immediately
preceding the fair. It is hoped that
plans for next years cabaret will be
sufficiently organized before the close
of school to allow the use of the sum-
mer to mold and organize around the
theme.
Freshmen who have filled petitions
should bring eligibility cards to their
interviews today or tomorrow, be-
tween 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.
Junior Assistantship

impartial, contestants are asked to
sign a fictitious name or symbol on
the front of the cartoon and to seal
his true name in an envelope on the
back.
Urges Jury Preferences
Contestants are urged to indicate
on the back of their cartoons any
preferences they might have as to
who should be on the jury, Endres
said.
First and second place prizes of
$5 and $3 respectively will be awarded
the winning doodlers while two con-
solating prizes of $1 each will be pre-
sented. Prizes will be awarded during
the Doodle Dance which will be held
from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday, May 16.

toon Contest, students may go to

Editor's Note: Each year the Federal
Government attracts numerous college
graduates who seek positions in Uncle
Sam's vast network of public admin-
istration. This story is an attempt to l
describe some phases of the operation
of the merit system.
Doors to careers composed of hun-
dreds of varied activities may bez
opened by joining forces-without a1
uniform-with the Federal Govern-t
ment through civil service examina-
tions.
Out-of-door occupations as well as
desk jobs and professional and scien-
tific pursuits involving research
problems and the actual operation
of industrial plants are open underI
the Commission's competitive exam-
inations for entrance appointment to
all citizens of the United States who
meet the admission requirements.
Appointments Made
During the 12 months which ended
June, 1940, entrance appointments
were made to approximately 68,000 of
the available 727,000 positions. Job
appointments may be made any-
where in the United States or her
territories with almost one-half of
all positions being in the Post Office
Department.1
About one-seventh, however, of all
civil service positions are for appoint-
ments to jobs in the Washington
headquarters of Federal agencies.
And here is where the opportunities
for the college man and woman shine.
The U.S. Civil Service Commission
bulletin points out that since "the
majority of the positions at Wash-.
ington are administrative, * profes-
sional, sub-professional, scientific, or
clerical in character, a college edu-
cation is more frequently required in
examinations for positions at Wash-
ington than in those for positions
outside it."
Exams Test Ability
A general procedure for securing
positions is followed in most cases.
From time to time the Commission
holds competitive examinations to
obtain lists of persons who are qual-
ified for the work of particular
groups of Government positions.
These exams use carefully tested
methods for measuring ability and
are graded on a fair and accurate
basis.
Appointments to positions of the
type for which the examination was
held are made by Government agen-
cies, as vacancies occur, from the
names at the top of the list-all
names of those passing the exam
having been listed in the order of
the grades or "ratings."
Entries Due Soon
Students may sign up for open
events in Crop and Saddle Club's
Horseshow to be held May 17, be-
tween 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. today and
tomorrow in the League Lobby,
Mary Hayden, president, said.
t
Sophomore Women
A new position, Junior Assistant,
available to an eligible sophomore
woman, will be added to the sixteen
Theatre-Arts chairmanships open for
petitioning this week. The job will be
concerned with learningi to under-
standethe general management of the
Children's Theatre, Virginia Apple-
ton, '42, Theatre Arts Chairman ex-
plained.
