BO6 Coed T By MARY ADAMS Staff Writer "Being a stewardess was the greatest experience I've ever had!" asserted Janet Selman, USC senior, about her summer job with Pan American Airlines. Meeting specific requirements, which included being at least 20 years old, five feet three to five feet nine and having a reasonable knowledge of a foreign language, Miss Selman last summer arranged for her personal interview in New York City. Afterward she began a four-week course at a stewardess training school in Miami, Fla. She was instructed in personal grooming, c h i I d care, first aid, cooking and safety devices used on planes.

Janet confessed, "I used to think it didn't take brains to be a stew ardess. I've 1 e a r n e d differently now. A stewardess also needs lots of concentration to keep track of which passenger w a n t s what." After a while, she said, a stew ardess can tell by just looking at a passenger what he will be like.

These situations ranged from hav ing peas roll all over the plane to having a champagne cork shoot over the heads of passengers. "When a girl lives at college, she learned how to get along with all peers. By being a stewardess, I learned how to get along with all kinds of people, including myself," Mliss Selman said.
