KUHNS 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.

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.

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.

I I By RHODA LESHINE 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.
