Some 172 concerns in the Og-dcn area have been approved for this special type of training. This means that these various businesses have complete facilities and competent employes, with which to train the students while on the job. Such establishments as the Johnson Electric. Intermountain publishers, and Mitchel motors are among those being used in this capacity. ' The pay plan for such training is quite attractive to the returned vet as if offers him subsistence under the GI provisions and the apprenticeship wage that he makes on the job. The fellows , yi'iigagetl in this program have registered their approval of it. pointing: to this phase as its most attractive inducement. In this type of training the worker is also student, not only because he goes to school bo-Vsidos, but because he gets grades for the progress that he makes on the job. The local concerns employing the fellows have reported that they are well' satisfied with this setup because of the greater incentive on the pari Jof their apprentices who must not only earn their dollar but must keep up a good rate of advancing knowledge in the trade or business.

U of U Students Too Noisy Savs Librarian j (ACP) University ol Utah students are making too much noise in the corridors and study rooms of the library, according to the librarian. Unless a present trend is curbed immediately, a system of six buzzers will be installed in the main reading room.
