The Bureau's plan of operation is as follows: Graduates and former students of the University register with the Bureau by filling out blanks giving detailed infor mation about themselves, the courses they have taken, and other pertinent facts. The bureau collects confidential in formation from the professors who know the candidate best and from other available sources. This confiden tial information is in no case revealed to the candidate. Superintendents and other employers inform the bureau of the nature of the position to be filled and the type of per son to fill it. The director of the Bureau of Ap po:ntments selects from the list of available candidates one or two who appear most suitable for the position.

The employer, after examinating the credentials of the candidate, takes up the matter directly with the candidate through the Bureau of Appointments, or as le employer may prefer. A request to the Bureau for services described will be interpreted as an agreement not to divulge the contents of the papers in the case to the candi dates either directly or indirectly. Upon request, blanks wilL be sent from the Bureau of Appointments. Or. in F. Crow, director. Any senior or graduate desiring aid from this source, please send in names soon, as it takes at least two weeks to carry out the su. .c:ent investigation of each stu dent's record. -u.s.c. MANY STUDENTS BUM WAY HOME FOR HOLIDAYS Rides Vary from Hay-Wagons to Limousines-Motorists Kind to Hoboing Students ARTFUL METHODS TRIED Some Tell of Being Picked up by Cars Filled with Pretty Girls "Hey, Mister, gimme a ride tup the road I" Just how many motorists on the~ roads aroundl Columbia heard this p)lea in the last week it is impossible to say. But it is certain that a large niumber heard and heeded the cry of the broke, homewvard bound student of the Univer pity. From the taless now being told in the nightly "bull ressions" on the cam pus, no two motorists were alike. The b)iggest liars tell of huge limousines, p)acked with pretty girls, who picked them up and rode them far tip the road, sometimes even going out of their way to see the wandering student to his home table. From these whoppers the tales range dowvn as far as hay wvagons, taken to help the student catch up on the sleep lost the night before, either because of his (late or for some other well-known reason. However, no one has yet con fessed to asking the donor of the ride for a Bromo-Seltzer. Hoboing, these days, seems to be eas ier, quicker an~d more fun than taking the train or buis. The element of chance enters into this and makes the adventure even more fascinating. There is much more fuin wondering what, whlen and where the next ride will be than in wvatching the clock oni the bus and fuss ing about any delay in the schedule. And it is wconderful how "two bits" in the p)ocket lightens the journey. One kcnows, then, that he will not get hun~gry. Why wnory, anyway?
