Students Seeking
Vocational Help
Bureau Of Appointments,
Directed By Purdom,
Serves Vital Purpose
Seeking to help the student deter-
mine what vocation he should pre-
pare himself for and to help graduat-
ing seniors contact prospective' em-
ployers, the University Bureau of Ap-
pointments and Occupational Infor-
mation serves a vital purpose on cam-
pus.
Dr. T. Luther Purdom, director of
the Bureau announces that over 1500
persons took advantage of the voca-
tional guidance tests during the past
year.
Both students and employers make
demands upon the Bureau for well-
trained people for summer employ-
ment. Many times summer work of-
fers an opportunity for the candi-
dates to establish permanent rela-
tionships for their later careers.
Placement of teachers takes in a
large part of the Bureau's work, but
vocational and guidance services are
intended for the student body. Advice
regarding the selection of courses to
prepare for certain fields in demand
and the techniques of interviewing
and writing letters of application is
freely given.
A complete testing program has
been developed to answer the de-
mands of students in helping them to
select their vocations and settle some
of their personal problems. These
tests are given to prospective fresh-
men as well as students.
Credentials gathered from each ap-
plicant include full information re-
garding school training, working ex-
perience both in school and out, out-
side activities and personal interests.
All of this information is requested
by employers.

dateless hopefuls and arranges
meetings, taking care to match up
couples who will be best suited

Reconstruction
Is Main Study
Of NewGroup
An organization to awake student
minds to problems of reconstruction,
the Michigan Post-War Council was
founded in April to stimulate dis-
cussion and study of post-war needs.
Plans for this semester include
seminar groups to discuss post-war
affairs, the organization of Michigan
college groups into a state-wide Post-
War Council and the adoption of a
set of principles.
Throughout the summer the Post-
War Council held weekly meetings
conducted by authoritative speakers.
After short introductory talks the
group, through questions and opin-
ions, analyzed such problems as the
future of capitalism in the post-war
world and the settlement of the In-
dian problem.
A New Aim
A new aim is the proposed state-
wide collegiate Post-War Council.
Leaders of the Council have to com-
plete the organization of 29 colleges
by December. After the initial organ-
ization is completed a state-wide
meeting of delegates will be held.
Adoption of a set of principles is
an attempt to formulate some policy
resulting from general agreements at
the long series of meetings since the
Council's inception.
The principles which are expected
to be approved are: that diligent
planning for a peaceful post-war
world is necessary in addition to win-
ning the military war; that there
should be rational social, political
and economic reconstruction to rend-
er war unnecessary; that every hu-
man being should have the right to
free personal development; that all
1productive work be rewarded on the
basis of work accomplished; and that
the Post-War Council will hold itself
morally obliged to act on these prin-
ciples.
Open To Any Person
The Post-War Council's meetings
are open to any person wishing to at-
tend them. Membership on the Coun-
cil itself is open to any interested
person and to the delegates of cam-
pus organizations.
The initial program at the time of
the Council's formation in April was
a three-day post-war conference.
Featured speakers were President
Alexander G. Ruthven, Dr. Francis
McMahon of Notre Dame University
and Prof. J. Donald Kingsley of Anti-
och College.
The meeting was attended by hun-
dreds of students, both in the lectures
and the discussion panels following
the speeches. The Post-War Council
organized itself into a permanent
group at that time to continue work
which had already won nation-wide
acclaim.
Large attendance to the meetings
continued through the summer term
when studentsand faculty members
spoke to furnish subjects of discus-
sion.

Studies Housing
Race Problem Is Topic
For Association
The Minorities Committee of the
Inter-Racial Association, first Uni-
versity-recognized student body ere-1
ated to study and alleviate race prob-
lems, is endeavoring to find housing
and employment for students who
are discrminated against because of
race or religion.'
The committee, under the chair-
manship of Mary Constable and Ho-
bart Taylor, has compiled a list of
rooms available to Negroes and Ori-
entals, inspected them, and evaluated
them. Students who are unable to
find rooms are urged to contact the
chairmen.
Originated in the spring of this
year, the association has as its pur-
pose the elimination of racial ill will
by a better understanding of the sci-
entific, economic and social causes of
discrimination.
To this end, the group has had
speeches by colored and white ex-
perts on race problems, parleys on
important questions, and plans to
start a library and circulate petitions
in favor of the anti-lynching bill.
Monthly Magazine
Presents Current
Engineering Datq
Technic. a mgazine put out by
engineers and for engineers and-lit
students with a scientific interest,
will be published monthly during the
coming fall and spring terms with
Bill Hutcherson. '43E, as editor-in-
chief.
Hutcherson will be assisted by
Keith Smith, '43, managing editor;
Sidney Shell, '43E, editorial director
and Freeman Alexander, '44E, bus-
iness manager.
The purpose cf Technic is to pre-
sent an account of current technical
data in a popular fashion. The arti-
cles are contributed on the whole by
engineering students and faculty and
leading men of industry. Because of
the nature of this magazine, it has a
wide off-campus circulation and is
sent to technical schools throughout
the state and to other such organiza-
tions.
Students will be able to purchase
Technic in the local engineering arch.
It has been planned to bring out
Technic the first part of every month,
and contributions for the magazine
from both engineering students and
members of other schools will be con-
sidered for publication.
The University of Michigan's modern Student Publications Building, one -of the finest in the nation,
houses all of the campus publications .. . The Mich igan Daily, student newspaper, The Michiganensian,
campus yearbook, Gargoyle, humor magazine, and P erspectives, literary magazine.
Hillel Group
Moves To New
Local Quarters
Climaxing fifteen years of activity
on campus, the Michigan chapter of
Hillel Foundation has moved into new
quarters at the corner of Haven and
Hill streets.
The new house is now open to stu-
dents, Rabbi Jehudah M. Cohen, di-
rector, announced.
Considerably closer to campus than
the old Foundation, the new house is
also much larger and has spacious
grounds. It has a large chapel in the
basement, and full kitchen facilities
will be provided. Rooms will be avail-
able for classes and meetings.
Completely Remodeled
The house was completely remod-
eled, redecorated and relandscaped
through the efforts of the Women's
Auxiliary of the R'nai B'rith District
Grand Lodge. The Grand Lodge is
also responsible for its purchase.
The Michigan chapter of Hillel was
founded in 1927. When it moved into
its present quarter at 1102 Oakland,
it was the first Foundation in the
country to have its own building.
Sincethatstime it hasagrown until
the house is unable to accommodate
the numbers of students who attend
services on the High Holy Days and1
Friday evening discussions.
Hillel, with a membership of about
900 last year, is the largest sectarian
organization- on the Michigan cam-
pus. It is largely student governed
by a Student Council elected by pro-
portional representation and an ap-
pointed student director. Last year's
co-directors Robert Warner, '43, and
David Crohn, '43, will probably be
back to serve this year.
Conservative Services
In addition to Holy Day services,
the Foundation holds regular con-
servative services on Friday nights
and reform services Sunday morning.
Friday evening services are regularly
followed by lectures or forum discus-
sions on current affairs.
Hillel's collection of classical rec-
ords is one of the largest on campus.
The new house contains a music
room, as well as a large room to
house its extensive library.
The Foundation annually sponsors
a Fall Dance, a Spring Play, and a
Spring Formal. Last year, in line with
its all-out participation in defense
activities, a stunt show, Hillelzapop-
pin, was substituted for the play, and
gross proceeds were donated to relief
organizations and the Bomber Schol-
arship Fund. The formal also con-
tributed to the fund, while fifty sol-
diers from Fort Custer were special
guests at the Fall Dance.
Oakes To Leave Union
Frank Oakes, for the past five years
assistant manager and social direc-
tor of the Union, leaves next week to
take up a new position as personnel
officer in the Wolverine Tube divi-
sion of the Calumet and Hecla Cop-
per Company. Oakes, who graduated
from the University in 1922, was a
member of Delta Tau Delta frater-
nity.
