Phote by Geffrey Darln President Thomas F. Jones addresses Student Senate Job hunting season now officially open BY SUSAN PAQUET Staff Writer The University Placement Office is presently handling interviews between prospective graduates and representa tives of nationwide companies. This service which is free to students of USC is headed by Mr. Frank W. Johnson. Johnson feels that "The oppor tunities are better now than they ever have been." The recruiting season is in progress and will continue through the middle of April with major companies such as Goodyear, Texaco, Bell System, and General Electric. The Placement Bureau provides the facilities for inter views and keeps files and resumes on hand for each interested student for up to eight years after graduation. Therefore, alumni can also take advantage of this service. "The experience of looking for a job is very good for a student," Johnson stated. Assisting graduates in finding suitable employment is the major function of the Placement Bureau. The service also provides aid in having resumes printed and a Placement Library which has career information about different com panies. The bureau also aids freshmen, sophomores, and juniors in designing a program of study suitable to their career ambitions. The bureau, located in Leiber College on the horseshoe, has a bulletin board which displays job opportunities which otherwise would remain unknown to most students. Most of these jobs are with local firms.

Jones asked the Student Senate Wednesday night to work with "faculty, administration, board of trustees and their student constituency through confer ences, hearings or whatever is required to get legislation that is realistic and effective." "It can be done and should be done, but when a body creates Mickey Mouse legislation the reaction has to be Mickey Mouse" the President said. President Jones asked the Senate to assume a persuasive lobby type function in its methods of developing and passing legislation. Jones said he had seen "many bills produced in good faith but without the information to back them up." Through more effec tive communication with other campus bodies, joint study and work, these "pitfalls" can be eliminated, according to Jones. The Student Senate currently is studying ways to make itself a more effective legislative body and asked Jones to present his views on the subject. During a question and answer period following his talk, Jones was asked what is being done to aleviate the campus parking problem. He said plans call*for an addition to the Blossom Street parking garage and, when the money becomes avail able, a block-long parking gar age for 1,500 to 2,000 cars would be constructed between Pendle ton and Senate streets. When asked about the issue of closing Green st., Jones said he favored it, but concrete evi dence must be presented to city council before they will con sider the idea. He pointed out that a study sponsored by Stu dent Government and managed by a consulting firm had been taken two years ago that showed the need for the closing, but that the study had been lost and another was needed. Senator Mike Michaelski- pro duced part of the study, how ever. ING iTAURANT e tea 50 advises The Senate passed a resolu tion asking the President and Board of Trustees to declare Monday, Jan. 29, "a day devoted to reflection on the war and its effects and that class time on that day be so used." The I'esolution was introduced by Senator Wood and cited the 40,000 Americans who died and the long-awaited return of both POW's and MIA's as the basis for the day's reflec tions. Senator Ward introduced a resolution asking the administ ration to provide an alternative parking plan for University Terrace residents who now are required to pay $60 a year to park in the Blossom Street gar age. Because "young married stu dents attending this university more often than not do so on a very limited and strict budget," the resolution states that the parking requirement might cause an "unfair financial hard ship on married families" and Bike the ft The number of bike thefts has decreased since the beginning of the fall semester. Only two bikes have been reported missing for the month of January. The 75% decrease in these thefts is credited to the student's awareness that bet The Gameco reporters, preferab in news writing, in English, history, soc and business.

The legislation was sent to commit tee for further study. Ward also introduced legisla tion asking the President to bring the campus lighting level up to federal guidelines by pro viding temporary security lighting. Federally assisted schools must comply with minimal illumination levels now set at 1.5 vertical footcandles. "Upon investigation we find number ous areas (at USC) that do not begin to reach this level,"stated the resolution. "The effect of the temporary lighting will, in many cases, ful fill the need for security and pedestrian illumination until long range plans can be for mulated and implemented" according to Ward.
