Page Four THE SKYSCRAPER Dec. 5,1962 Placement Bureau Expands Service; Focuses on Off-Campus Employment The name's the same, but with blueprints in hand, Mundelein's Placement Bureau is in the midst of Project: Expansion. In head quarters 701, a three-member team is devising solutions for the per ennial employment dilemma. Sister Mary Jerellen. B.V.M., di rector of the Placement Bureau, is assisted by Mary Ellen Bradley, who gained her experience with the Kelly Girl Temporary Service. Di anne Arturi, publicity director, will exhibit her journalistic training and experience taken from work with Finn and Associates: Publishers Representatives. Under the trio's guidance, the bureau hopes to lo cate an increasing number of em ployment opportunities for stu dents, both on and off campus. Succeeds on Campus During the first quarter, the Placement Bureau concentrated on filling available positions within the school. As a result, elevators manned by efficient operators now speed from the lounge to the ninth floor with assuring regularity. Tearoom cashiers produce change with a smile and switchboard op erators manipulate the intricacies of the phone and public address system with dexterity. Student employees in the library, the book store and in various other depart ments have mastered the technicali ties of their work. Satisfied with the evidences of successful place ment in the college the Bureau is currently focusing attention on off- campus employment. Boasting all types of opportuni ties, the Bureau endeavors to find temporary, part-time and vacation openings for interested students. Full-time and permanent positions will also be sought for graduates and students who have withdrawn from school. SI, V dcrapina Long lost in the past, buried under the drifting sands of time, lie hidden many secrets of life, includ ing age-old knowledge of foods and their uses. For the benefit of the marriage- minded readers we will print a se ries of these tasty, forgotten dishes. Recipe for Kooks Bone Marrow on Toast Saw eight marrow bones in sections two to three inches long. Over each open end put a covering of flour- and-water dough, and tie each piece of bone in a cloth. Put into kettle, cover with boiling water. Boil for one hour. Remove cloth and dough and serve bone marrow hot on crisp toast. Serves four, if you can get four to eat it. We feel it only fair to tell you there's one big draw back in this recipe this dish can not be used for second-day cas seroles. However, you can send the bones in burlap bags to be made into soap or fertilizer. Besides being yummy, the reci pes we give are calorie-controlled. For instance, I squeezed into my size 24 for the Sophomore Cotillion and lost five pounds while twisting to the music of those two swingin' bands. A few more recipes and dances like these and we might be able to get into the Loyola basketball games free of charge again. After all, we have been accused of taking up too much room. Meanwhile, back at the pool . . . One freshman, after getting a W in swimming, told her roommate, Mrs. Gorski must know that I have warts. While distributing literature for the Democratic party at an L sta tion during the evening rush hour, Sue Brown attempted to hand some advertising to a La Salle Street- type business man. He refused with a pleasant smile, saying, No thanks, I'm an aristocrat. Wanting to get a good night's sleep, freshman resident Mary Wachter set her alarm clock for 12 o'clock as she retired at 11:30. Thinking that it would go off at noon, she dozed off peacefully. At midnight the alarm went off raising cries of fire and air raid from the nearby residents. Proposing her opinion to Sister Mary Agnesita's question of why there are so m'.ny students with B averages, Kathy Clarke said, Because it's so hard to get an 'A' around here With this, the entire class applauded. Maria Byron has been dying to get her name in this column for four years now. So, here it is . . . Maria Byron. Sister Mary Neal, lecturing on a law of mathematics, said, Pick a pair, and every math major in the room concluded mentally, of six packs. Who Cares Dept. . . . Ameri cans started working cross-word puzzles when the first one was pub lished in the Nexo York World 50 years ago. Today's Giggle . . . Did Jonah cry when the whale swallowed him? (See bottom of page.) Gotta saw off, er sign off now. The burlap bags have arrived and we've got to light the fire under the soap kettle. P.S. The recipe is taken from The Old Farmer's Almanac, 1963. Two Cornballs ;,upip aq 1n(l -laqqniq oj . 'mu-; sbav oi q3noirj ojj -suy Mary Ellen stresses the primary advantage of the bureau's free service. In addition, she says since job seeking is its main function, the bureau is in a position to find op portunities in situations where stu dents might not suspect them. The Bureau strives to remain in contact with large companies, pri vate businesses, hospitals and civil service projects throughout the Chicago area. These firms inform the Bureau when they have job op enings. Notices are immediately posted on the placement board un der the lounge clock enabling stu dents to apply promptly. Promotes Recruiting After the first of the year, re cruiters from concerns such as Ar- gonne National Laboratory, Illinois Bell Telephone and Civil Service will be on campus to interview stu dents. Appointments for these in terviews will be arranged through 701. To familiarize students with as pects of various careers, Dianne has transformed available wall space in 701 into display shelves for career literature. She points out that the information covers fields ranging from aerospace to zoology, and students are free to inspect the material whenever they wish. Aids Employers In enlarging the Placement Bu reau's sphere of influence, Munde lein, as a member of the Midwest College Placement Association, is keeping abreast of colleges across the nation.

Economics Club Dr. James Diamond, associate professor at De Paul University, will lead an intercollegiate discus sion on Deficit Spending and In- Speaks from Experience Dr. Witty Cites Gifted Child Educators are inclined to cater to the average or below average stu dent. But, according to Dr. Paul Witty, the gifted child is often the neglected child. Professor of education and direc tor of the Psycho-Educational Clinic at Northwestern University, Dr. Witty was guest at a dinner given by Mrs. John Estabrook, member of the education depart ment at Mundelein, Nov. 28. Fac ulty members and education stu dents also attended. During an informal discussion following the dinner, the educator spoke on the gifted child and the difficulties involved in discovering and exploiting his talents. Dr. Witty emphasized the inef fectiveness of IQ tests in uncover ing creative qualities. These traits imply originality and judgments of new material and are not measura ble factors. We ought to judge creativity by products, he con tinued. Using only testing methods, edu cators miss 70 per cent of those who are creatively inclined. Looking back over his years of experience in the classroom, Dr. Witty recalled practical methods of stimulating creativity. Films are one particularly valuable way of illiciting responses, he said. Chil dren who are shown silent films and invited to comment on the story they see often produce remarkably perceptive poems and narratives. He pointed out one fifth grader who concluded her story about a hunter confronted with the beauties of nature with these words: As a flower opens, slowly, slowly, so the hunter's heart and eyes opened, slowly, slowly. The hunter, the de stroyer of nature, awoke. Why, this wasn't something to destroy. It was something beautiful ... Dr. Witty went on to explain open-end stories. The teacher invents a tale without a conclusion and the children provide original endings. Such activities bring out each child's individual wealth and educational needs. The professor also stressed the importance of the teacher's respect for the students' unique ideas. Editor of The Gifted Child, a 1951 volume published by the American Association for Gifted Children, Dr. Witty has contrib uted frequently to psychological journals and reviews. He is also associate editor of the magazine Highlights. STUDENT TEACHERS Interested in securing a posi tion?
