Placement Bureau The University maintains a Bureau of Appoint- ments lor placement of its students and graduates. Dr. Paul K. Howells last year replaced retired Dr. Lester H. Mimzenmayer as Bureau head. Situated in the balcony of the Administration Build- ing, the Bureau not only places students at graduation, but also carries many folders from places that employ sttidents during the summer months. Because the cooperation of the students, faculty and employers has been so great, the Bureau is now able to place the student while he is in school, at graduation and in later years. The student is urged to contact the office, where he is helped to find the right job. When a student applies to the Bureau, he is given a folder to fill out on information about himself. This in- cludes an aiuobiography, a list of courses taken while at- tending the University, a picture and other miscellan- eous information. The material is demanded by future employers. The Biueau of Appointments has placed students in many different jobs, including teaching, selling and other employment. The Bureau, after being contacted by the student, arranges interviews between the employer and the prospective employee. RUDY LIBERTINI received information about placement from Mrs. Darlene Tice in tine Bureau of Appointments. A PROMINENT graduate of Kent State University is Robert Cook, prosecuting attorney for Portage County. In the courtroom, where he spends much of his time, Cook uses the fine training gained at Kent. 17

The full effect of four years shows itself on the graduating seniors. His college training completed, he looks to the future. NEW FRIENDS are made throughout the college career from the time we enter as freshmen. A GRADUATING SENIOR, books set aside, gazes through a Mer- for him. Four years of college life have prepared him for life. The rill Hall window at the Mall, wondering what the future will hold future holds further education or a job. 16
