PLACEMENT OFFICE The Placement Service is involved in finding part time and summer jobs for undergraduates and career positions for graduating seniors. Interested students are interviewed for infor- mation on preferred employment. At the same time the placement service takes job orders from employers off campus and from the Uni- versity itself, then attempting to match up stu- dents with prospective employers. Also, the placement service keeps a bulletin board posted with part time job opportunities out- side the old Administration building. The Cen- ter is in contact with over 500 companies for whom they arrange interviews, along with 250 schools who need graduates to fill teaching positions.

ARMY ROTC The Army Reserve Officers Training Corps, an in- tegral part of the University of Arizona, is directed by Col. Walter H. Clifford, professor of military tactics. The R.O.T.C. program provides systematic military instruction with a two-fold purpose — pri- marily to qualify students for positions of leader- ship and secondly to provide the nation with an electorate informed of the purposes and necessity of a sane policy of national defense. At the U of A, a two-year program is required for all male students, while a four-year program leading to a commission is also offered. COL. WALTER H. CLIFFORD Director of Army ROTC AIR FORCE ROTC While Army R.O.T.C. deals with general military science, the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps, under the leadership of Col. John W. Chap- man, studies military aero-space tactics. The four- year training, Professional Officers Course, enables the student to graduate from the University of Ari- zona with a direct commission into the U.S. Air Force Reserves. Regular commissions as second lieutenants in the Air Force may be tendered to Distinguished Military Graduates of the R.O.T.C. program. COL. ROBERT L. JONES Director of Air Force ROTC 197
