PAOX Z14GHT TH MICHIGAN iiAUV : ...- -IG H T -. _. _ .-.*_ _ - fS-Z_ U___._.nI FRIDAY, MAY 3,1957 t Non-University Jobs Provide Opportunity By DIANE LABAKAS Non - University jobs presently provide students with the most numerous job opportunities. Those non-University jobs in- clude such work as laboratory test- ing and experiments, babysitting, yard work, drafting, and cutting grass. Of 800 students who applied for Work at the University Personnel Office last semester, 200 were placed in non-University jobs and 190 in University positions. Non-University jobs are found primarily in Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Plymouth, and Whitmore Lake. Married Students' Work There are room jobs for mar- ried students who want to be care- takers and get rent free and other students who get room free by shoveling walks, cutting grass and doing other odd jobs. "Approximately 90 per cent of the students whom we place put in about 15-20 hours per week," W. P. Strong, peersonnel office intereviewer, declared. He esti- mated the base rate of pay a,-t $1.25 per hour for most off - campus Jobs.- The basic procedure a student follows in seeking work is to come to the University Personnel Office and fill out an application card, specifying class schedule, previous employment, amount of money he expects to make and the amonut of work and kind of job he wants. Interview Next Step The next step is an initial in- terview where "the interviewer can evaluate the student's background' to see what kind of work he is qualified for," Strong explained. If there is a position open, the student is given a referral slip stating the employers' name and telephone number. The employer is eventually called after a while for a report on the student's work. There is no limit to the amount of jobs a student can get, Strong declared. He noted that approxi- mately 75 per cent of the positions available do not entail specific skill or trade. Women's Jobs Fewer "Jobs for girls are less numer- ous and lower paid than those for boys," Strong said. Most of the jobs for girls entailed library and babysitting work. "For every girl that is placed, there are five boys placed," Strong added. Educators Meet A Joint committee on research business education comprised of three national organizations will meet at the University today and Saturday. College Roundup li Colleges Have Greatest Accident Toll SURPASS TRAFFIC FIGURES: A i1 A sophomore woman at the Uni- versity of Oklahoma wouldn't take "no" for an answer. During her freshman year, Mary Frances Fenton decided on a career in medical illustration. When she learned that the art school offered no degree in that field, she began cutting through university red tape to establish her intended field as an accredited course. Miss Fenton achieved her goal. Upon graduation she will receive a degree in information design. * * * Novice G. Fawcett was installed eighth president of Ohio State University this week. More than 800 representatives of colleges and universities at- tended the inauguration. i By JANICE WILCZEWSKI College students, beware. The college campus Is the scene of a greater accident toll than all other student accidents in cars or elsewhere off campus, making our tree-shaded campus a bigger booby trap for the student than the roaring highway. This report came from the Na- tional Safety Council, which pre- sented facts and figures startling to those who regard a college cam- pus as a symbol of traditional tranquility and carefree living. The Council, in conjunction with the American College Health Associataion, conducted accident studies of 11 colleges and universi- ties, including the University. High Accident Toll Adding up all the injuries to col- lege students from athletics, lab- oratory experiments, street cas- ualties, and other campus hazards presents an alarmingly high ac- cidentstoll - and it is increasing, the Council claims. "The whole picture of collegi- ate activity," the Council says, "adds up to the fact that each year one out of every nine stu- I- dents in American colleges and universities receives injuries re- quiring medical attention." The ratio was one out of four at one large university. Last year, including the sum- mer session, Health Service treated 232 bone fractures. An un- tabulated number of accidents were also taken care of at the University hospital and St. Jo- seph hospital. Director Reports Causes Health Service also reported 25 concussions, 46 dislocations, and 17 animal bites during the school period. Dr. Morley Beckett, Director of Health Service, cited street ac- cidents as the main cause of cas- ualties, Another common cause is bites from laboratory animals, stray dogs and squirrels. Each new season brings with it a rush on Health Service. The first snowfall always is accompanied by bruises, sprains and broken limbs due either to icy streets and sidewalks or tobogganing, skiing, and skating accidents. Spring Brings Accidents In the early drys of spring, horseback riding mishaps are fre- quent. This time of year also en- courages crazy students stunts, supplying Health Service with even more roomers. Just this week, a boy attempted to broad jump a wide hedge, and landed in Health Service with a sore leg. Rarely thought of as a campus hazard are the science laborato- ries. So far this school year, five students were overcome by mer- cury vapor fumes. Chemistry labs present a bi danger with numer- ous glass breakages. Many Campus Fires facilities and equipment to col- dents' home surroundings, is the scen of more accidents than the student sports car or jalopy. One out of every 18 campuses in the nation has a residence hall fire each year, along with fires in other buildings. The mounting accident toll has become so serious on the nation's campuses, that college safety spe- cialists, administrators and fac- ulty members will meet at Purdue University May 6-8 to discuss re- duction of accidental deaths and injuries to students and loss of The college leges. The meeting, sponsored by the Campus Safety Committee of the National Safety Council, will fea- ture talks on many phases of cam- pus safety. dOPmitort', the 8tu- 3 A PERSONNEL INTERVIEW-W. P. Strong, University personnel interviewer, talks to student seeking employment. "We get all kinds of unusual jobs," Strong remarked. "We've had positions for magicians, peo- ple to milk cows, and a business executive who paid a girl $2 per hour to show his daughter around the University." Strong said the best paid posi- tions are those involving the most skill such as a nuclear physics as- sistant or draftsman. Only about half of the students who apply get jobs, Strong de- clared, because those who do not immediately get a job become dis- couraged and do not come back. He said that of those students who came back, 90 per cent got jobs and the other 10 per cent are looking for specialized positions or jobs the Personnel Office does not have. "We provide a good service at the Personnel Office," Strong as- serted, "but there are many stu- dents who do not take advantage of it."; Students at the University of Wisconsin participated in a poll concerning social standards. On the subject of cheating, one sophomore claimed, "Well, I've done some looking over my neigh- bor's shoulder in moments of des- peration, I'll admit, but as far as calling cheating a custom ... that's gross exaggeration." One woman student claimed that dormitory life changed her ideas. "I lived with 25 people who had 25 different opinions on re- ligion, politics and society," which changed her views on social be- havior. * Push Button Controls * Wide Angle Lena " Removable Self- Contained Splicer " Rheostat Control AC-DC Operationa® "715" OMM PROJECTOR Compe 250 In addition to above amazing fea. tures, the Wollensak '715" includes: forward, reverse and still projection; high-speed rewind; swing-open gate for easy threading; brilliant500watt illumination with optional 750 watt lamp; instant tilt control; retractable handle; automatic room lamp accommodation; 3-400 ft. reels i- cluded in built-in film storage com- partment; removable self-contained film splicer and enclosure case.
