PAGE TEN THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, PAGE TEN TUESDAY, U ~ University Aids 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. Acquaintance Bureau To Assure Dates . . The problem of the dateless freshman is solved!

The League and Union staff which sponsors the bureau proudly reports a record of 365 "mix 'em and match 'ems" of last years. 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. Student Publications Buildin g Is One Of Country's Finest Student Groipu 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.

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.
