 iriPnrc The tri-annual Boucke sleep over. a frus- trating Penn State tradition, has become a thing of the past. Last fall, a new system was in- stituted by the Career Development and Place- ment Center in Boucke Building, for placing students in the job market. This system replaced the old first come, first served method which had often made it necessary for a student to spend a night in Boucke at the beginning of each term in order to sign up for an interview. According to ]. Phillip Bucher, coordinator of the program, the new system stresses individual qualifications as a prerequisite for obtaining a job interview. To participate in the program, a student must register at the beginning of or during the school year in which he desires interviews. Next he is asked to complete an Interview Request Form which serves as a type of resume and as an indication of career aspirations. On Monday of each week, campus interview notices are posted in Boucke; the interested student then submits a request form to each company with which he desires an interview. These forms arc reviewed by recruiters from each of the companies, who select the students they feel best meet their companies’ needs. Interviews are set up with these students through the placement office. We have gotten only positive feedback since the new system was started. said Bucher. Both students and recruiters feel it is a fairer, more professional way of doing things. — Cheryl J.

mercis Wl TRACTOR Parts of University Park arc getting a new look. In the past year, stages of change at main campus have been easily visible. Perhaps (he most obvious of these was the addition of two Poors to the back of Chandlee Laboratory. According to John D. Miller. Physical Plant Director, this was a simple venture as the original blueprints for Chandlee allowed extra room to accom- odate expansion. The progress of another expansion project has been watched closely by Penn State sports enthusiasts. By the start of the 1978 football season. Beaver Stadium will have close to 16.000 additional seats which will completely circle the playing peld. Due to this increase in the stadium's seating capacity and because the for- mer no longer met Olympic standards, new track and field facilities have been built south of the Stadium. Penn State's rapidly growing nursing program made obvious the need for more classroom space for theo- retical work within the nursing curriculum. The result is the Nursing Education Building, scheduled for com- pletion in the summer of 1978 as an addition to the Human Development Building. Less visible but no less important are the renovations to Schwab Auditorium. In addition to a refurbished interior, the end of this summer will see the auditorium equipped with new heating and air conditioning sys- tems. - Cheryl J.
