Placement Helps Jobs Seekers by Marleae Jwhqn

Virginia Fisher, Director of Placeme,;+ . said in a recent inter­view, ''This ll> where ~ey go to get ~eir jobs.'' She was speaking of Sou~eastem graduates, mid­term, spring and summer semes­ter senion, and alumni. Mn. Fisher has served in ~e

placement office here since 1942 and she says, "It is just a service ~at we provide. There is no charge and ~ey (~e students) are cheating ~emselves if ~ey don't tate advantage of ~e place­ment service." Students interested in taking

advantage of ~is service should see Mrs. Fisher in ~e Adminis­tration Building. She wiD give ~em an application and ~en she will prepare a penonal file with ~e cre~ntials of each student who completes ~e application and returns it to her. This file will be available when potential em­ployers contact her seeking employees. "If they don't file with us, we

can't place ~em," said Mrs. Ftsher. Last year, 409 total place­ments were reported to her office. Of~ose, 317 were teaching posi-

tions and 92 were in other fields. So, if you ~ought Mrs. Ftsher

only placed t~chen, you were wrong. Tuesday, Mr. Robert T. Hunt, Assistant Director of ~e Accounting Division of Con­tinental Oil Company of Ponca City was on campus to inter­view prospective accountants. He had 14 interviews.

Even if you don't see ~e job you are looting for on ~e placement calendar, file an application with Mn. Ftsher. She might be ~e job hunter's best friend.

Suggestions Given For Potential Land Owner

Increased new home construc­tion and the trend for prospective homeowners to look for home sites away from urban areas has prompted the Oklahoma State Department of Health's environ­mental protection service to offer suggestions for potential land buyers.

According to John Armstrong, environmental protection service chief, an increase in the number of rural water districts in the state has spurred the development of rural properties which until recently, could not be developed because of inadequate ground water supplies.

"However, in many cases, buyers will purchase a lot only to find a community water supply is oot available and they must drill a

_ water well," he said. "Some then find that an adequate ground water supply is also not available, and in addition, their lot may be too small or have soil that is not conducive for the use of a septic tank."

As a preventive measure, Arm­strong suggested that potential land buyers should check into what sources of a water supply are available before buying lots developed in rural areas.

"Buyers should first find out if a community water supply is located in the area, and if not, they should question the developer, neighbors or a water well driller about the availability of ground water supply,'' he said.

Armstrong also stressed the necessity of having a percolation test performed on the lot's soil to be sure the soil is sandy enough to leach waste water into the ground. "The homeowner will have a problem in getting his sewage disposal system approved by the health department if the soil makeup is mostly clay, because a septic tank and leach field which is in clay soil will not absorb water fast enough and the sewage will surface on top of the ground or back up into the house." ----According to cancer research scientists, apparently the only thing safe left to eat is crackers. The problem now is to get all the daily nutritional requirements into crackers.

''They should then make sure that the lot is large enough to accommodate a properly designed sewage disposal sys­tem." He pointed out that the average homeowner uses 8,000 to 10,000 gallons of water per month and most of this water has to be soaked up into the backyard leach fields.

"Prospective land buyers can consult with their county health department sanitarians who can advise them on whether their lot is large enough to aCcommodate a proper sewage disposal system and where to go to get a percolation test done if his de­partment does not perform this service. ' ' Armstrong said.

Sanitarians make inspection of the septic tanks and wells to make sure health department regula­tions are met . Samples of the water are also collected for bac­teriological analysis to assure the resident the water is safe for drinking, he said.
