TUTTLE Women college graduates should not feel that their diploma is the key to an executive position in the busi- ness world, for they will have to compete with veterans and women trained in special skills, is the ad- vice offered by the Office of the Bu- reau of Appointments. Many organizations which em- ployed women during the war are now giving preference to veterans, and company training programs for- merly open to women are in many cases now restricted to men. A knowledged of shorthand and typing are a prerequisite for the majority of job openings in busi- ness. There are many openings for women who know shorthand. and have a college background in a particular field. Companies often want employees who have majored in economics, business administra- tion, or political science, for this indicates an interest in the busi- ness field University-trained women are ex- pected to learn rapidly and to prog- ress, but they must not expect to start at the top. Although employ- ers expect more of college graduates, they object to college women start- ing in a top position because they us- ually only plan to work a few years. There are definite shortages of workers in several fields which are Women Graduates Should Expect Keen Competition in Businss, Political Fields open to women. Teachers and lab- oratory technicians are needed in many parts of the country. Be- cause of the rapid turnover, air- lines are looking for women to train as stewardesses. Civil service opportunities are open equally to men and women. Secretarial work is an excellent field for college graduates. Women who are interested in working in a particular part of the country, in a particular company, or in a special field may apply at the Bureau of Appointments. If there are no openings on file, the Bureau tries to reach particular companies which do not hunt employees and find out if there are any jobs avail- able. Registration for employment at the Bureau is now being held, and June and February graduates may apply for jobs. All women who would like to work on the League House Dance committees may sign up today and tomorrow on the sheets post- ed in the Undergraduate Office of the League. The committees open to league house residentsare entertainment, ,Which is divided into program planning and hostessing; tickets; publicity; and decorations. BARBOUR SCHOLARS-Sylvia Shu-lien Tsai, standing, and Jin Yuan Yang are two of the many Chinese students on campus for the first time.

RADIO AND RECORD SHOP 715 North University, Phone 3542 North End of the Diagonal - Ann Arbor By DOROTHY SIMON Walking down the corridor of graduate students' rooms in Mosher Hall, one would be sure to hear com- ing from behind the door of Rm. 136, the chatter of Chinese and occasional merry laughter. This is the room of Miss Sylvia Shu-lien Tsai from Fu- kien, China, and Miss Jin Yuan Yang from Wu-Chang, Hupeh, China. Both are on Barbour Scholarships, Miss Tsai doing graduate work in chemistry, and Miss Yang, in English literature. Miss Tsai graduated from Hwa Nan Women's College in Foo- show, China, and then taught there for five years before taking gradu- ate work at Nanking University. She received her scholarship in 1945, but was unable to get passage to the United States until this year. Miss Yang graduated last year from National Wu-Han University Wu-Chang, China. Her father is dean of the University and her mother is an instructor of English there. Dr. Lucy Wang, the president of Hwa Nan College, was once a Bar- bour Scholar also, so through her Miss Tsai learned about the oppor- tunities offered here. On July 18 she flew from Chungking to Shanghai and from there took a boat to San Francisco. It was on the boat that she met Miss Yang, her future room- mate. The two were separated when they reached the United States, but were reunited in Ann Arbor. Miss Tsai went on to Chicago where she visited some friends. She saw all the places of interest there, but what impressed her most was that "there are so many cars and so many women driving them!" There are very few automobiles in China, and most of them are driven by chaufferurs. The great num- ber of cars does have its disad- vantages, though, she discovered, when she and her friends couldn't find a place to park downtown! Before coming to Ann Arbor Miss Yang spent some time in New York. 4 4 4 4 4 She visited the Empire State Build- ing and noticed how proud New York- ers are of it. What impressed her very much was that Americans as a rule don't pick up anything that doesn't belong to them and that they are very punctual. Miss Yang worked with the China National Relief and Reha- bilitation Administration in coop- eration with the UNRA and found the work very interesting. She worked with the Department of Health compiling tables of demands from hospitals which applied for additional medical supplies and hospital beds. Meeting again in Ann Arbor, the two Chinese students wandered around campus together, and "we sometimes got lost too," they admit- ted. Miss Tsai remarked gratefully, "I noticed that Americans are very polite to foreigners. We feel perfect- ly at home, and it makes it easier to get along in the dormitory." Miss Tsai finds Ann Arbor a very beautiful town. She likes the chimes in the Tower and especially when they play music. Miss Yang was impressed with the trees and the changing colors of their leaves. She finds the classes here conduct- ed on about the same level as those of her alma mater, but the social life there is not as lively as it is here. This is partly due to the fact that the Chinese people are under- nourished, and therefore not very high-spirited. Miss Yang is studying various courses in English literature and is also taking Russian. Both she and Miss Tsai speak English, since it was a required subject in high school, but when they are alone in their room, they find themselves convers- ing gaily in their native tongue. The Best!
