Mrs. Jill versity senior, fill out someu of the uetion to he used in job pla< provides assistance in making coni alumni who register with the offie 'Our Aim--A Students W By Jerry McGuire Campus Editor "Our satisfaction comes from seeing graduates of the University placed in positions which will in sure them a happy and profitable future," says Mrs. Ruth E. Mc Vey, director of Placement Bu reau, modestly explaining the pur pose of her office. The bureau, whose services are extended to all graduating seniors, graduates and alumni of the Uni versity, handles job listings of po sitions in business, industry and the professions. Openings exist in South Carolina as well as many other states and some foreign countries. Arrange Interviews Maintaining job listings is not the only duty of placement. For mal interviews are coordinated through the various schools with the companies and students. Mrs. MeVey's office arranges weekly schedules for interviews. More than 200 companies have arranged for interviews this year. Interviews may be set up at any time during the year, Mrs. Mc Vey pointed out, but the period from October through May is the busiest season. The bureau, which was estab lished about ten years ago, also min tains a placement libt'ary. This library contain~s literature front various firms and furnishes mtuch in formation concerning av'ailable jol>s. Mrs. MeVey urges evyone toi make use of this ma terIiaLl. G.raduates Sought AlIthought the greatest demand foir work at present is for engi ieerinug and( (hentical graduates, men antd women with educationi in all fields are being sought. "The graduatte with a liberal a rts background can write his owvn tic'ket," the bureau director stated. She added that requests for this type of college graduate is increas ing. T[he dlenmnd is also increasing for women. Manty fields p)revioutsly limtited to meni arie n1ow attracting the other sex. Some of these fields include engineering aides, labora .toiry techiticians, chemists and statisticians. Mrs. McVey indi cated that ineed for secretaries, li brarians, social workers, teachers and other usual female occupa tions still continues. File For Veterans Thte Placement Bureau receives quite a few inquiries from men being released from the armed services who have attended Caro lina, Mrs. MeVey said. For this reason, shte emphtasizes the im por'tance of registering with her off ice before final departure from the University campus. This will 4allow the bureau to make contacts with comtpanties without delay due to having to request information from the fom mer~ student before -proividling service. In addition to Mrs. McVey, the Placement Bureau staff includes Mrs. ,Jill Swingle, secretary and Elaine Mayfield, student assist Mrs. MeVey strongly pointed out that her office "does not get anybody a job, but simply helps the student make job contacts. We merely act as a go-between in availing our services." .Jobs In South TIhe pilace mnent dIirector said that there is an increased number of jobi openiings in the South.

Another one of Mrs. McVey's observations is the vast number of requests being received by her office to fill recently created va cancies existing in government employment. The files of the Placement Bu reau contain many facts and in formation regarding potential em ployees. An individual file is kept on every person that registers with the office. Mrs. McVey said that up until recently, the filing sys tem on former students was di vided by class rather than the present alphabetical order system. She could offer no reason for having such a system. File On Employers The office also maintains a file on correspondence received from companies recruiting University students. . Mrs. McVey and her assistants invite everyone to avail them selves of the "service in selecting congenial employment upon grad uation and in keeping in touch with job openings in your field after graduation." There is no charge for this serv ice. The information furnished by students remains strictly confi dential and wvill be used only for employm1ent officials.

Like other students, I'm studying the subject that interests me," says Warner Fairey, a junior from Orangeburg. Warner is one of three students at Carolina with enough accredi ted hours to constitute a major in Latin were such a degree offered at the University. She is enrolled in the School of Education. Warner is an attractive, quiet spoken young lady. And contrary to what her study might suggest, she is neither capricious nor ec centric. Pet Peeve According to Warner, students facetiously tease her about study ing Latia. The joking has become so frequent that she now proclaims it as her pet peeve. Latin is a great help in build ing one's vocabulary, and it's also an aid in the study of English, Warner related. "I had no innate love for the Cast Named For Players' Next Staging The tentative cast for the next University Players production, "The Brothers," has been posted by director Gene Crotty following the final elimination readings. The Greek comedy is to be pre sented in the round and is sched uled for Jan. 14-16. The production will be given in the Warehouse Theatre at 8:15 on the three evenings and admission will be 65 cents. The cast as tentatively set is: Jimmy Quick as Micio, Jim Selway as Demea, Marion Durden as San nio, Newton Neely as Aeschinus, Bruce Lindle as Syrus, Doug Llewelyn as Crespho, Mary Nichol son as Sostrata, Mary Louise Dickert as Canthara, Owen Clark as Geta, Charles Blackwell as Hegio, June McCauley as the danc ing girl, Bart Rast as Dromo, and Wally Warr as Parmeno. John Boyd Joins McKissick Staff John W. Boyd has been named assistant reference librarian at McKissick Library to replace Evelyn D. Morgenthaler who left the staff recently. Boyd has his bachelor's and master's dlegrees and library train ing from the University of Denver. He came to the University from Alabama Polytechnical Institute, Auburn. He is a Phi Beta Kappa and has experience in teaching English and langrages in college. HAVE A Igo for Camels bec fan~cy stuff.

Warner began the study of Latin in the ninth grade of high school. First Teacher Strict She attributes her foundation in-Latin to her high school teach er, who, she said, graded strictly and was a strict disciplinarian. Perhaps fear was the greatest stimulus to study in high school, she pointed out, for each class member was quizzed daily. After the interrogation period the stu dent received either a check mark for 100 or a cross mark for zero. Most of the Latin classes at Carolina contain about six stu dents.
