passed civil service exams be-
tween September /. 1850. and
January %, 1855 but who weren't
appointed to their present jobs
from civil service registers
These employees are now indefi-
mites and did not qualify under
the recent conditional
program because they were not
appointed from civil service
registers.
The legislation would give sta
tus to these employees if their
names were placed on civil serv-
ice registers in the l950-to-1955
period and they were certified to
agencies for employment but de-
clined since they already had
received another appointment.
In that period, most Government
appointments were on an indefi-
mite basis, and these employees
took Jobs on an indefinite basis,
rather than wait for their names
to be certified from registers.
About 10000 such employees are
involved.
In most cases. these employees
who took indefinite jobs were
persuaded by their agencies to
stay on and not accept the status
positions, with the understanding
that they would be taken. care of
when the Government converted
to a peacetime basis. But the
Civil Service Commission ruled
they were not eligible for status.

obviously, then, Mr.. Reeder
said "the only way driver can
be sure his vehicle is in safe op-
Grating condition is to check and

'It's a very simple matter to
check for surface danger points.
The driver himself can do this.
Excessive tire wear, loss of brake
efficiency, lights that are not
working properly, and other OBJ
vious danger spots can be easily
detected.
''But no driver should be salts
fed with these surface checks. He
should have his car checked regu-
larly by a qualified mechanic. On
these checks, the following points
should be carefully checked:
Headlights, rear and stop ligts,
brakes, tires, steering mechanism,
windshield wipers, muffler and ex-
haust system, window glass, horn
and rear-view mirror.

car, check accidents" is a pretty

a job away from home. Such jobs
help them in their future study
and often prove valuable in their
later efforts to secure permanent
positions"
Both Mrs. Wyatt and Milton r.
Roberts of the Deans Office re-
ported that jobs for nontechnical
students are scarcer than in pre-
vious years. These jobs include
camp counseling, secretarial work,
sales, resort work, baby sitting,
construction, farm work, play
ground and amusement work, and
production manufacturing.
One of the largest employers of
nontechnical people is Delaware
Park, where some sixty to seven
ty Delaware students are hired
during each racing season.
Depending upon the hours of
employment, nontechnical salaries
range from 5000 to $3.50 per
month.
The Business Guidance and
Placement Bureau, which handles
the majority of the employment
requests, already has been ap-
preached by about 135 job hunt
ers. Some so more have been ad-
vised by the Office of the Dean
of Students.

ARE
INEXCUSABLE
Particularly So Are Accidents
Caused By Inadequate
Vehicle Maintenance
$4,000 LIVES LOST IN 1854

Traffic accidents are a disgrace
to this country. Last year they
claimed $4,000 lives" said John D..
Reeder, past president of the Del
aware Safety Council.
"And the great scandal is that
in most cases they are unneces-
sary," he said. "More care, more
alertness, more respect for the
rights of others, would eliminate
the greatest number of accidents.
Particularly inexcusable are the
accidents which grow out of mad
eqeuate vehicle maintenance.
"Just how many accidents fail
into this category can never be
statistically established because in
many fatal accidents the car, or
cars, involved are so badly smash
ed that pre-existing repair needs
cannot be determined. But in
spite of this fact, accident reports
show that a significant number of
vehicles involved in fatal accidents
have one or more unsafe condi-
tions.
every often such conditions can
be present in an apparently norm
al car. Last year, in a voluntary
nationwide vehicle safety check
program in which more than one
million vehicles were inspected,
one out of four vehicles checked
was in need of maintenance at
tention to one or more parts af-
fecting safe operation. In many
cases, the automobile owners did
not suspect this need.

FIND JOBS FOR
STUDENTS
Many Students to Get Assist
ance in Finding Jobs
This Summer
PLACEMENT BUREAU

Nearly two hundred University
of Delaware students will receive
assistance in finding jobs this
summer from the cooperative eff
forts of the University's Business
Guidance and Placement Bureau
and Dean of Students Office.
Although the overall job pic
ture is not as promising as it was
in 1858, opportunities for techni-
cal students are increasing" Mrs.
Geraldine M. Wyatt, director of
the Placement Bureau, disclosed
today.
Included in the technical cate
CORY are engineers, chemists, ply
sicists, and mathematicians.
I'm past years, most companies
have been interested only in those
students who had completed their
junior year." Mrs. Wyatt explain
ed, "but today more and more
companies are developing summer
job programs, some of which in
clude sophomores and students
who have completed their fresh
man year. One company is even
offering six weeks work pro-
gram for boys who must spend
part of the summer at R.O-T.C.
camp"
'4The employment quota is COM
paratively small with each COM
pany, but mre companies are be-
coming interested in contracting
qualified students through this
MEANS" Mrs. Wyatt said. 'PThis
effort reflects the great need for
technically trained employees in
industry" she added, because
summer work programs undoubt-
edly cost money. The advantage
of such training periods is that
they provide an opportunity for
the companies to know prospec-
tive full time employees and for
the students to learn about the
companies"
Scholarship is the factor in
!. which employers are most inter-
ested," Mrs. Wyatt reported
"Most of the technical students
sought must rank in the upper
ten per cent of their class or, in
other words, have deans list
scholastic index"
Salaries for these undergradu-
ates are excellent" Mrs. Wyatt
declared, ranging from $275 to
1925 per month. Students at the
graduate level can expect slightly
higher pay scales"
Whenever possible, we have
found that students should take
positions relating to their partic-
ular field of study" Mrs. Wyatt
said, "even if it means accepting
