Show 2 — STUDENT Ags Need Placement Bureau On Full-Tim- e Basis “What good is college if it doesn’t help me get a worthwhile job?” THIS STUDENT QUESTION proposes a campus problem — Utah State needs a full-tim- e placement service The University has at the present time a part-tim- e bureau and officer to head student employment BUT ARE THESE facilities adequate for an institution the size of USU? In a ’LIFE interview Kelly Farmer director of the campus employment service explained that placement has achieved many desirable goals and is better accomodating the student than ever before in Utah State history “However” he brought out “the bureau still has a long way to go” A BIG STEP forward for the placement service would be a new system under which a full-tim- e officer would operate the employment service Centralization is also needed in campus placement James Condie former head of the employment service and now student housing assistant told ’LIFE that USU could better serve its students if placement were centralized and not scattered in various colleges and departments SUCH A METHOD of centralization would give every student —the average as well as the A — an equal chance for job placement after graduation There wouldn’t be a chance for “prof favoritism” to figure into the employment picture under this system of student place-- ment At present the Utah State employment office con-se- ls and places graduates from departments of the University College Engineering and Business and Social Sciences THE CAMPUS EMPLOYMENT service now has a cooperative relationship with the State Employment Security office in downtown Logan It also keeps informative files conducts interview's and distributes free employment and placement literature to students seeking work e This program could be intensified if a office were installed at the University full-tim- INITIATING A FULL-TIMplacement bureau would add to the strength of each department on campus as well as “enhance good public relations” for E Utah State Addition of a centralized bureau with a full-tim- e staff would give students a helping hand toward a more secure future DIRECTOR FARMER approximated that USU is the only institution of its status in the Rocky Moun-- ’ tain area lacking a full-tim- e placement office lie also brought to light the fact that employment officer jobs at the University have always been given graduate students “Graduates have been trying to do full-tim-e work on a part-tim- e basis” he lamented A full-tim- e employment service would definitely not retard people’s initiative to go out and get jobs on their own It would merely channel their efforts in the right directions WITHOUT THE supervision of a full-tim-e coordinated employment service Utah State cannot expect to do “the most” for her students If the institution intends to operate on a University plane she must adopt a centralized comprehensive and progressive program of student guidance and placement Established tress 1902 LOUISE PETERSEN ROSS KENDLLL Business Manager during the sehool year by the Editor-in-Chi- Printed Students semi-week- ef ly Associated of the Utah State University Office room 213 Student Union building Phone 100 Extension 472 Entered as second class mail matter Sept 1908 at Ixjgan Utah under the art of March 2 1870 Acceptance for mailing at special rate ol postage is in accordance with postal laws and regulations !
