The 24-year old freshman law student has received his impres- sion of the, campus through other students. He has been totally blind since he was 13. * * * "WHEN I FIRST came here, al- most everyone I talked to d'escribed the buildings to me and the way they were laid out, especially in the Law Quad," Shaker said. "They often mentioned the beauty of individual buildings and of the trees and walks."E "I could see at one time, and the memories of these things are very clear in my mind," he con- tinued. "I can visualize the things I remember and picture the cam- pus. I might not even have the right conception of it, though." The world is far from dark for the six-foot-three law stu- dent, despite the loss of his sight. He has made many friends since he came here this semester. "The people here are wonder- ful," he said. "It's amazing that students who are busy can take out time to be so friendly." Shaker does much of his work in Law School with the help of readers-people in his classes who read the cases aloud and help him summarize them in braille. * * * - HE ALSO works up outlines and records them on a recording ma- chine. Then he plays the records over to study them. Shaker doesn't have a seeing eye dog, but says, "There isn't much to getting around the Quad." Usually he said, there are friends in his classes going the same way he is, and they walk along together. Asked if he resented other peo- ple's helping him when he did not need it, Shaker replied, "Certainly not. I think it's bad when a blind person does resent it. People offer to help you because they are in- terested and kind." SHAKER IS pretty modest about his scholastic prowess, but admitted, "There is a little more to memorising when you hear a thing rather than see it, I guess." At Michigan State, where he got his B.A. it history, he relied a good deal on his memory and, sel- dom took lecture notes. He started to take notes in his lectures here, but finally decided against it. "Most of the time the lecturers covered so much material that I lost the thought of what they were saying when I took notes," he explained. "I get more out of the lectures More Jobs Than People, Student old There are more jobs than there are qualified people to fill them. That is what graduating stu- dents learned yesterday at the second in a series of the Occupa- tional Information meetings spon- 3ored by the University Bureau of Appointments and Occupational Information. * * * T. A. SCHMIDT of the U. S. Rubber Company, Mishawaka,, In- diana and W. E. Simmons, of the J. L. Hudson department store, Detroit, told some 100 students that many job opportunities await them. "There are always job open- ings for men and women who can prove that they are quali- fled and willing to work," he said. Simmons said the most impor- tant thing to learn in order to get ahead in merchandising is to be able to get along with people. "Not enough people want to put enough work into their business today. Those of you who will work harder than the average person will have a great chance for ad- vancement." Men's Orientation Jobs Now Open Positions as orientation leaders for the spring and fall semesters are now open to men students who may apply from 3 to 5 p.m. in the Student Offices of the Union. Because of the- small number of group leaders required, application is open only to men with previous experience in the program.

Ramsey, the man responsible for the present facili- ties in Michigan hospitals for the care of tuberculosis victims, and lecturer in the School of Public' Health, died Tuesday at Saranac Lake, N.Y. On the faculty since 1942, Dr. Ramsey had been on leave of ab- sence-for the past three years be- cause of illness. Widely known for his contribu- tions in the fields of tuberculosis control and epidemiology, Dr. Ramsey received his M.D. at Co- lumbia in 1917. He was medical director of the Detroit Department of Health from 1918 to 1921, and deputy Health Commissioner of Michigan until 1926. He then became professor of epi- demiology at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, and held other positions on health com- missions in New York State. out at the firm's New York fac- tory at the beginning of the sea- son. THE THREE pianos are shipped to strategic points throughout the country. Dealers at each stop in Serkin's tour are responsible for having one of these instruments set up and tuned for his appear- ance. The piano which will be used for tomorrow's performance was expressed to Ann Arbor from Washington, D.C. after Serkin's appearance there Nov. 18. After the piano was set up on its legs, the firm's concert artist tuner put the finishing touches on the instrument in readiness for the recital. FAR FROM being taken aback by Serkin's arrangements, the manager for the firm here said he has taken pianos to Hill for such artists as Horowitz and Rachmani- noff. Tickets for the concert are still available at the University Musi- cal Society's offices, Burton Tower, and may be purchased at the Uill box office immediately before the performance.

"However, I haven't quite convinced myself that I'm doing the right thing." A special arrangement has been set up for Shaker to take his tests. A non-legal student reads the test' to him in a- separate room and he types out the answers. "LAW SCHOOL is more diffi- cult than pre-law courses, there's not much doubt about that," he said. In fact, when Mortarboard members offered to read textual' material to him, Shaker found he had only two hours a week dur- ing which he could listen to them. Shaker gets a kick out of friends' surprised comments on his good taste in clothes. He has quite a system. His brother helps him choose his clothes and he has a whole rack of ties which go with prac- tically any suit. "When I'm go- ing some place special, though, I sometimes have some one else look my clothes over," he said. Shaker has become an avid root- er for the Michigan football team, although his loyalties were under- standably divided in the opening game with State. He listened to most of the games on the radio, and went up to the Stadium for some of the games to get the crowd spirit. his days at the School for Blind in Lansing, where he played trumpet in the school jazz band. He blames his conversion to classics on music majors whom hie knew at State. He said, "I can still enjoy popular music, but my interest lies mainly in classics, now-especially Bach." His favorite recording is Vaughan William's "Fantasia on a Theme," which he describes as "ethereal." Shaker took an active part in several campus organizations at State-the pre-law organization, the history club-he was president of that group in his senior year- and ADA. * * * HE IS preparing for a general practice in law.

Boeing Airplane Company is expanding its Wichita, Kansas, Division facilities and organization preparatory to production of the Boeing B-47 Stratojet, the U.S. Air Force's newest and fastest jet bomber. Rated in the 600-mile-per-hour class and comparable in size to the famed Boeing B-29, the Boeing B-47 has swept-back wings and tail surfaces and is powered by six jet engines. Additional emergency power is supplied by eighteen JATO (jet assist take off) rockets in the sides of the fuselage. Long-range requirements for design engineers to par- ticipate in the Stratojet program--as well as in other major projects assigned to Boeing-Wichita-must be filled from the current classes of graduating engineers. For those who plan to make aviation engineering their chosen profession, Boeing offers you the oppor- tunity of starting your careers in an organization which leads the field in the design and development of ultra. modern high-speed military and commercial aircraft. Boeing-Wichita engineering personnel representatives have arranged with Dean Ivan C. Crawford of the Col- lege of Engineering to conduct interviews at the Univer- sity of Michigan on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, December 1, 2 and 3. U. of M. graduating engineers are invited to meet with these representatives. Further details are available at Dean Crawford's office.
